I think Cafe Zoma is probably my favorite cafe in Madison, so far. Some reviewers have complained about the coffee; I never noticed it being particularly bad. It's dark and caffeinated and there is always half-and-half to be had. The atmosphere here is what really makes it great. It is sort of like a "dicey"-cafe with great lighting. If you're lucky enough to have warm weather, the outdoor seating essentially doubles the cafe's capacity and backs up to the community gardens and the bike trail. The only reason I don't go here more frequently is because of how far away I live.
