| - I just came back from The Victory and I can safely say it's my favorite cafe in Madison.
No, they don't have wifi, and I think that's great. The few tables they have were occupied by people conversing, drinking coffee/tea/whatever and reading books, rather than browsing facebook. This improves the environment a great deal.
No, they don't take credit cards. I live nearby so I went home to get cash. It's a slight inconvenience, but I understand what credit processing fees can do to a business and with a business like a cafe there aren't many large sums to be processed. If this were a hair salon or a store it would be a big deal, but I can bring $5-10 in cash to a cafe.
Yes, the cafe is clean and inviting. The barista behind the counter was very pleasant, they have chalkboard walls for children to draw on, and an interesting selection of reading materials available.
Yes, the drinks were great. Best mocha I've had in town, and the homemade ginger soda was exceptional. I can still taste the ginger.
The only thing I would suggest they change is the signage. I'm assuming the current paper-cutout Victory sign is a placeholder, but they have a nice logo so I'd like to see it painted on the glass.
Thankfully it's not located downtown so it won't be full of red badger pajamas. Brooklyn's loss is definitely our gain.
