| - The Fitchburg spot, is much like the other Barriques locations in and around Madison. The interior is a large and inviting space with tables and chairs, as well as plenty of soft seating. The outdoor patio is small, but I appreciate a place to sit and sip my coffee on a beautiful morning, as it was when my cycling group stopped by today. The cyclists in my group are all committed to spending our money locally and supporting the entrepreneurial spirit, so stopping at Barriques as we finished our morning ride was a no-brainer. However, we also support the Bicycle Benefits program which offers discounts at local businesses for those who travel via two-wheels and we were happy to see the sticker on the door indicating Barriques participation in the program. However, it was pretty disappointing when we ordered at the counter and were told Bicycle Benefits was not honored on weekends. Regardless, we were still in need of caffeination and snacks, so our group ordered some specialty coffees and breakfast sandwiches. The coffee was good, not spectacular and the breakfast sandwiches/wraps were sufficient; though considering the price point, they could have been more substantial.
