| - 4&20 is a fantastic new cafe. It's hard not to sound like a complete pretentious foodie hipster when talking about them, so I won't even try. Pretentious Madison foodies, go here. Go here now.
They make fantastic cappuccinos (8oz, don't scald the milk, flavorful espresso) and homemade baked goods. The bakery items are so good you talk about them without remembering to qualify the restaurant as not being a pot-pun to your friends in your recommendation. 4&20 refers to the number of blackbirds baked in a pie in the old nursery rhyme, not a stoner pun despite its location back behind a high school next to the railroad tracks. And the availability of made-from-scratch Pop Tarts with different daily fillings. (Come on guys, you're not making this easy.)
Breakfast is served all day, and lunch sandwiches include porchetta and one with goat cheese, fig, and arugula. The latter was as good as it sounded- sweet, creamy, and peppery. The restaurant uses a large amount of local, organic ingredients, and is rarely crowded.
