Their customer service and food quality are consistently great, which keeps me returning. I will continue to frequent this fantastic coffee shop and restaurant. I love the variety of both their food and beverage choices!“

“The best coffee, and more delicious mocha! I Love this place. Tracy is an excellent host!“

“Moka on East wash is the best coffee shop in Madison. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. The matcha is what i get every time and its always amazing and delicious. I saw a review on here that said otherwise and that is just crazy! Every matcha I've had has been FANTASTIC!! YOU GET A MATCHA, YOU GET A MATCHA, EVERYONE GETS A MATCHA!! LOVE MY MOKA PEOPLE“

“I've been a long time customer here (15+ years). Besides the beauty of mixing Gelato with espresso (order the Javalatto people), my favorite thing is the environment. I love seeing the long term staff, and the owner, who I've seen throughout my time as a customer. Most of all, I love that they ALWAYS make me happier, especially on days I'm having those rough mornings. I really try to go in on those days I know are gonna be long. Between my delicious caffeine boost, and their warm welcomes, they always start my morning off better. Thank-you to Renee and all of the Java Cat staff for the morning pick me ups.“

“Great little spot for coffee, conversation, and good company! You won’t regret stopping by to take a load off and have some refreshment. Cheers!“

“Miss Cafe Domestique so much 😭“

“I can't explain how wonderful this place is. The staff are tea wizards and so knowledgeable. The products, tea and tea related, are high quality and creative. The drinks are divine, the vibes immaculate. Go here and spend a day with a pot of tea and then get a Boba to go.“

“I like MOKA. I mainly visit the East Towne Mall location because it's convenient for me. There is always going to be something bad and good about a coffee place. Prices are too high..a drink isn't made to my satisfaction..the Baristas are rude..etc. In my opinion if you are just going to complain about everything don't go out. Every coffee place does their best to interpret how specific someone wants their order to be. Every place does their best to be as pleasant as they can be given some of the rude customers that come through and do nothing but complain about this and that and take no accountability for maybe placing and order incorrectly and blame it elsewhere. Some of the stories I have heard about some customers makes me really wonder what world they live in by their actions. On the flip side I have heard stories of how staff can be towards customers. It works both ways. I purposefully visit the East Towne Mall location because I love the staff and their energy and personalities. All my visits are positive experiences. Love the drinks; especially the seasonal ones they come up with. Maybe once in a while a drink is off or not as I would like it but I am not a picky person and maybe it's just not my taste. I will drink it and tweak it next time or not order it. I have my go-to drinks that I really like and usually stick with. To me coffee is an art and everyone's is different; some alot more complicated than others but that's okay. To me the more complicated it is the more that can be off but to each their own. I love MOKA and especially this location. They try their best and have great personalities that make me want to visit their location. That is good enough for me.“

“We went to Madison Chocolate Company today for a sweet treat. I can’t have wheat and was excited to see the selection of baked goods at a reasonable cost! We tried the apple cake and a chai infused chocolate and WOW! So good! We’ll definitely be back.“

“Was a great place too visit would recommend this place to anyone!!!!😊“

“Really interesting place; loved the environment and selection of wines, teas, coffee, quiet environment, and food. I will be back!“

“Incredible coffee shop, it has been my go to coffee shop for the past few years. The employees are ALWAYS super sweet even when they are swamped and don’t get me started with there food and drinks. (AMAZING)Truly you could not find a better coffee shop to enjoy!“

“My first time here, I thought to myself, “Wow, this is the best mocha I’ve ever had” - and then I had to laugh at myself because the place is quite literally called MOKA. Its pricing is comparable to Starbucks and is a fun place to stop when I’m in the mood for a treat. Also love that they have Madison Sourdough goodies available! The only downside is there isn’t a ton of room for parking, especially when the drive thru is busy.“

“Staff was friendly and helpful in helping me decide what to order. I ended up getting the coconut cold brew with oat milk and it was incredible! I will be back!“

“Driftless is one of my favorite coffees. So much so that I ordered some to be delivered to me in North Carolina. If you want a really good tasting coffee, look no further. Wish I was closer to a location, but will be in heavy rotation for delivery.“

“I got a 12 oz half caff hot mocha with oat milk and toasted marshmallow with a chocolate croissant at ~2p on a Wednesday. I didn’t have to wait long at all, there was not an overwhelming amount of people, and the barista was very sweet. The pastries seemed to be either prepackaged or at least not made in house. I wanted a sweet treat, and that’s what I got!“

“I really like the food and ambiance. I got some matcha, a burrito, and a granola bowl. They were able to make my burrito bacon free. They make the food to order, it’s not premade. The girl who helped me was super nice too.

They have like a mini store with items you might need like personal hygiene items, but also items for your pup like dog treats and dog care items. They also have cute handmade earrings. It’s a very cool concept, and I appreciate that they have like a “mini convenience store” given that there’s not many places around the area to get these items. Perfect for emergency or a quick buy if you don’t wanna drive 20 min to the nearest convenience store.

I had been here before and I loved it. I don’t live in the area, I actually live like a 25 ish min drive from this place but I wanted good food and remembered visiting this place after a yoga session at perennial. I drove here and couldn’t find the place initially, and thought they had closed and it made me really sad. Then I called the number on maps, and they’re still open, GPS is just weird.

Walking around this coffee shop/mini convenience store made me think “wow this is such a cool concept, and I hope they stay in business” which is what compelled me to write a review :)“

“Great coffee shop with a lot of character.“

“Incredible coffee shop with amazing drinks. Best venue around for intimate small shows 5/5“

“I absolutely love Rotunda coffee and their private rooms that can be reserved for meetings. The staff is always pleasant, even though they are usually one person doing everything! - it's pretty amazing. The coffee is on point, and the teas. I love the affordable handmade earrings for sale! And the high ceilings but classic style of the space takes me out of Madison for a moment and makes this a perfect place to settle in when the days are short, it's cold, and the Midwest winter moves in.“

“Honestly 20/10 amazing customer service, always punctual, driver is always friendly, customer service is always friendly, always a phone call away. The business I work for has used their services for years and it is ALWAYS top tier. I couldn't say more nice things about this business.“

“Best iced latte ever! Oh, and the maple scone made my taste buds so very happy! Wonderful, friendly staff topped off an excellent experience I'll repeat soon.“

“The best coffee, and more delicious mocha! I Love this place. Tracy is an excellent host!“

“My partner and I were by Batch Bakehouse yesterday and are new to the area, so decided to stop in. It was the end of the day, so immediately the employees were apologetic about the "limited amount of items available". There were PLENTY of items available and every one of them was absolutely delicious. We were able to try their butterscotch chocolate chip bars, salted caramel brownies, and two of their cupcake flavors. We are typically not dessert people, but absolutely cannot wait to return, due to the unparalleled baked goods and the exceptional customer service! I wish I had gotten the names of the people who helped us, so whoever was there at 1 PM yesterday thank you!!“

“I’m here on business and stumbled upon this place. They get 10/10 stars! My Chai Latte was amazing and the breakfast is fantastic. I highly recommend!“

“Great room, location was unmatched right on the water, and fun events!“

“Like the Posters from the early days, especially those of the “ Socialist Ticket” from the thirties.“
