Coffee Shops near Monona

“Good coffee, food and cozy ambience.“

“It’s always busy but they get you through fast and they are super friendly. Would definitely recommend them over any of the other Starbucks I have been to and I have been to a few!“

“I’ve gone here many times after school and really like it. they keep it as clean as much as they can, and are all very friendly staff. I personally have never had any problems, and the times there’s been an accident or mistake they always make sure to fix it. i ordered some fries and 20 pcs chicken nuggets“

“Amazing housemade Chai Latte. Also serving Rishi products. Tried my husband's mocha, the baristas do lovely work. I'm a baker and the cinnamon roll was out of this world. Great, very helpful, friendly staff. We bought some coffee beans and a sweatshirt from the super cute skateboard shop. Will definitely be back for that chai again!“

“Donuts were fresh and tasy. fried chicken was the way fried chicken should be. very good.“

“Friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere“

“Love going to Mercies. The soup, egg salad sandwiches and smoothies are the best! I buy True Coffee Roasters coffee beans for home.“

“Foods and coffee has been amazing both times I've been there! Who ever came up with the Dilly Dally sandwich is amazing.“

“What a great place to find! I am all for local owned bussiness rather than the bigger chains. When we arrived, we were met with the amazing smell of fresh pastries. Took our orders and received them promptly. Great place to relax and enjoy the taste of your freshly brewed coffee. I recommened the pistachio baklava!!“

“beautiful location, great service and wonderfully cozy atmosphere!“

“I had a hazelnut latte and the teriyaki chicken bowl and both were so good! Loved the atmosphere as well, open space, comfy furniture and super clean. I came here looking for a new/different shop near Madison and am so glad I found this spot!“

“Also amazing crepes! The coffee might be the best in Madison!“

“They were happy to fill my own container from home with cold brew coffee, which was delicious. It was a cute space but my only real complaint was they seriously need to do some major dusting. A lot of the frames were caked in dust, and there were lots of cobwebs.“

“very good coffee. will be back.“

“It was our first time trying out this place and we will definitely be back! Kim S was very friendly and nice to me and my kids on our visit. Thank you a million!“

“I was just in Sun Prairie for three weeks house-sitting and I came here nearly every single morning during my stay. I was hooked from my first visit and can say without a doubt that Beans n Cream has become my all-time favorite café, easily topping anything i've tried on my travels. Not only are the food/drinks amazing, but being able to walk in and be a local for that short period of time and being remembered by name and having a nice chat with the staff was one of my favorite parts of my mornings. In my three weeks, I tried virtually every one of the items on the menu. The scones were top notch and one of my favorites has to be the Maple Cheddar. As far as drinks go, their Peanut Butter Frappe was absolutely to die for. Thank you for everything! I can't wait til I have the opportunity to come back to Wisconsin and try everything again!

Kid-friendliness: There is a small play area for kids inside the restaurant.“

“Wonderful little coffee shop with a bike store right next to it! The coffee is always very good and the staff is super friendly. Don’t expect a place to sit as there are limited tables and they’re usually filled, but I usually get it to go. Highly recommend!“

“Hands down one of my favorite coffee places!! Many drink options as well as pastries that are to die for! The customer service there is also top notch on making you feel welcomed and helping find the best drink for you! If you’re in a rush, order online ahead and start your day off amazing!!“

“best double shot of espresso“

“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.“

“Excellent sandwiches + coffee and a really nice place to hang out with friends or get some work done. For sandwiches, the ham & cheese, horsey beef, roast beef, and tuna melt are all terrific. However, I really wish they'd do something about the burnt(?) smell--I can't imagine the workers enjoy it, and my clothes always smell really strongly afterwards.“

“Go-To coffee spot for a handful of years now. They hire the best people; always so friendly and welcoming. No matter how I walk in I walk out with a smile; now whether that's delicious coffee aiding my mood of the delightful environment, who knows for sure.Come here and hang out with some locs in your hood, and get America's favorite drug in your body: caffeine.“

“We love going to the coffeehouse. It is family owned and they do a tremendous job making everyone feel welcomed. And the food is fresh and delicious!“

“Simply the best coffee in town“

“Very friendly staff and excellent coffee“

“This drive through only Moka always has great employees no matter what time I come though! They are cheerful and accommodated me when I accidentally placed an online order for the wrong location! Ps don’t be intimidated by the line- it moves quickly!“

“Always has a new art show inside and a new mural outside!“

“Stopped today between work meetings for a quick bite and a bit of caffeine. Staff are amazing. The gentleman working the front desk even remembered my name when I came up to get a couple items to go. Great environment, easy parking, and attentive staff.“

“Great tea options, friendly staff and customers. After getting tea we stayed and started a puzzle. There were puzzles and games available in the store to use. We enjoyed completing the puzzle and our tea without being rushed. I highly recommend this place.“

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

“Great coffee shop with a lot of character.“

“Been here many times, and they have high quality coffee. However, I’ve never really liked the iced latte despite trying it with different milk options. Would still recommend other coffee options from here. Also a great place to study with good views.“

“This place is so cute! The decor, the seating, there’s merch for purchase. The whole environment is super cozy and inviting.

I came here to check it out for breakfast. I ordered the everything steak bagel sandwich. This sandwich is SO good but she’s messy! So grab lots of napkins. But it was so so good. I paired this sandwich with their pumpkin pie cold brew, which was delicious!

I will definitely be back!

Parking: Twisted grounds is part of a little strip mall type building but they share their parking lot with a giant apartment building complex. So I’m sure during busier times, parking can be a little challenging.

There is some street parking available too! Spots fill up quick.“

“Love Valentia!! Their coffee and avocado toast are my favorite!! ♥️“

“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“

“My oat milk latte & cranberry pumpkin muffin was excellent! Such a unique and beautiful location. The service was great and having self serve sparkling water on tap was nice touch.

Dietary restrictions: Nice to have non dairy options such as oat milk.“

“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.“

“Incredibly friendly people work here. If you see the "Judy Power Cookies" when you're there, you're in for a serious treat! It's a recipe from their mom. "Homemade" cookies right from their kitchen! Sooo good! Perfect treat for my coffee to partner with. This place is amazing inside and out. A really fascinating experience. give it a try one day, they also have Arod's Tex Mex available! One stop shop!“

“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.“

“I am a Jamaican Road Warrior with honey and cinnamon only kind of girl. My drinks have been spot on delish every single time. I am sometimes a little annoyed when I order ahead and still wait - sometimes 7-10 mins after the already 15 min wait of pickup. I am hoping it is just a hiccup they are working on with their app. Service 98% of the time leaves me with the biggest smile - friendly upbeat baristas. Now what can we do about that intersection - not that its any of Mokas fault. :) I will continue to order my weekly treat for as long as they are there!“

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

“Fair Trade is truly the quintessential Madison coffee shop, filled with interesting people (staff & patrons both), a view of State St and delicious coffee drinks - this place is a gem.So many downtown Madison locals make this their dedicated coffee shop because it just feels good to be there. The owners have put in so much work to cultivate a chill & welcoming yet bustling energy in the shop. Stop in to grab a speciality drink & people-watch over State Street in the front window for a good time :)“

“I come here for black coffee dark roast, that's it. No clue what they give me lol yet I keep coming back so...
Obvi apples to oranges, but first time in gave me a Weary Traveler feel; chill, cozy, comfy.
It's only like a block farther for me than Starbucks to further my coffee experience; no question I get them extra steps in every time.

Kid-friendliness: The best local spot for espresso shots for your kids before going to the Farmer's Market, capitol, or even the Children's Museum maybe.

Wheelchair accessibility: All good“

“Everything was fantastic, definitely exceeded my expectations. Flavors were well balanced, ingredients were fresh. Will definitely go back.“

“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!!“

“Great neighborhood spot! The breakfast sandwiches and baked goods are DELICIOUS! The staff is beyond friendly and so pleasant to chat with. Quickly becoming one of my favorite Madison morning spots <3“

“We always go there for breakfast. Relaxing atmosphere, very nice people that work their. Food is very good.“

“Fantastic Starbucks location. It is conveniently located within 2 blocks of Capitol Square and is attached to the adjacent hotel lounge area.The location is very spacious with plenty of seating and a large window. The store is very clean and the staff are excellent.I ordered a Paradise Drink but they ran out of pineapple bits. They asked if I would like dragon fruit or strawberries in it. It was so kind of them to still give me some dried fruit with the drink.The dragon fruit was scrumptious when paired with the pineapple and oatmilk mixture.“
