| - My favorite coffee shop in Madison, hands down.
I've been going since it opened. The coffee is terrific, but Patrick's the heart and soul of the place. Charming, wickedly funny, makes you feel like a million bucks. Refills your coffee himself. Often won't accept money for a purchase, or charges you half price, or gives you the muffin for free. Shows you pictures of his kids. Introduces you to his lovely wife.
Other perks? Incredibly nice baristas, friendly customers, and a daily copy of the NYTimes. I love the no-cell-phone policy (which is clearly posted). I think it's funny that a previous reviewer said she "will never be going back" to the Victory because of its no-cell policy. Good riddance!
There's no WiFi, but then, that's the point. The Victory isn't a place to sit all day, pecking at your laptop. It's a place to drink stellar coffee, talk, read a book. And that's why it's great.
