My new favorite coffeeshop in Madison! It's a great place to work and enjoy the views of Monona Bay.
This place is off the beaten path and as such, I haven't seen much of a crowd on my few visits during both the weekend and weekdays. The place has a large main room with a collection of rotating art on the walls. The chairs and furniture are all mix and match which lend to the unique atmosphere of the place. In addition to that, there appears to be a children's area on the lower level and there is a nice outdoor patio as well. If it's a warmer day, you can enjoy your food at Bernie's Beach which is right between this coffeehouse and the lake. The noise level was rather quite inside during my visits, expect for when their was a live musician performing in the adjacent bar area. The mocha I ordered had a nice velvety taste, I would order it again.
