| - I stopped in this morning for some coffee and breakfast. It was their breakfast "soft opening", so I was lucky enough to be among the first to try some of the best biscuits and gravy I have had in Madison.
The biscuit was homemade, crisp on the outside, and chewy on the inside. The gravy was flavorful and -not- overwhelmingly salty (a huge problem with some restaurants) with just enough chunks of sausage to satisfy me. The side of rosemary potatoes were delicious, too.
I also saw an egg-y croissant sandwich that looked pretty fantastic, so I will have to try that out soon. Other options include smoothies, oatmeal, strata, and a bunch of breakfast pastries.
Now, the food was great...but one of the best things about this spot is that they serve Johnson Brothers Coffee. Also known as some of the best coffee on the planet. Not only that, but they love their coffee, a lot, and you can order a standard drip coffee, pour over, french press, or have them use a fancy percolator. Pour-over is a fantastic way to enjoy a quality roast, but they do it right so you can expect to wait around 5 minutes for your cup to be ready once they start making it.
OH! The donut. How can I forget the donut?? I chose a glazed yeast donut. The glaze is sweet, but not overwhelming. The donut itself is chewy and has almost a bit of a tang to it. They look similar to a krispy kreme, but they taste unlike any other yeast donuts I have had before. Very tasty.
Did I mention that the service is fantastic and everyone is incredibly friendly and chatty?
