Madison's coolest coffee bar! I drove by this spot on my way to Milwaukee one day and knew I needed to stop in sometime. Well, a few days later, I made sure to stop! They have a room that looks like it used to be a vault - it even has the vault door included! I heard that they may do karaoke in that room in the near future. Aside from that room, there is a diner feel to the bar that serves the coffee and a third cozy room with spots to sit. The overall coffee section is well lit with daylight (assuming it's not another gray sky day in Madison).
They have many options painted on the side of the wall and a menu for those that like to browse. I ordered a large Americano to go and explored while they made it. In the back (which was closed), there appeared to be a bar (and restaurant?) that looked very inviting, I need to stop back at night! I feel like it has an entirely different personality.
The coffee was good! Definitely woke me up. Nothing special about the cup, but who cares what it looks like - it's merely a vessel for that coffee goodness. The staff was also very friendly and looked like they could be (or are) friends outside of work too!
