This EVP location has a great little vibe to it. Be aware that they have somewhat limited hours. I wrote the majority of my PhD Dissertation at this EVP. I had my Defense party at this location with the great Madison Band, Clovis Mann entertaining.
This EVP is probably the calmest location - good for reading and writing. Aside from Madison's best coffee, they also have pastries, and great soups. There is is also ample parking behind the store in the big lot shared with the state office building next door. They also have a nice little outdoor seating area used by two and four footed customers alike. In addition, this EVP has rotating artwork on display similar to the E. Washington location. If you are in the neighborhood check it out.
