| - I've been to Bradbury's quite a bit since moving to Madison and it quickly became one of my favorites - afterall, it's across the street from my apartment.. and I won't argue with convenience. However, even if wasn't steps from my residence, I would still swing in here often due to convenient street and off-street parking options (parking garage or children's museum).
The coffee here is pretty damn good, and if you're a moderate coffee-drinker like me, it's potency will have you set for the rest of the morning. If you're going to eat here, I recommend going with any of their sweet or savory crepes that they're known for. I was hooked on the Dark Chocolate and Door County Cherry crepe for the longest time... but it has not been on the menu the past month or so. I inquired with the fella behind the counter and he told me they had some issues with a few cherry batches recently, so they pulled it off until they can get the cherry supply issue resolved. I hope it comes back soon!
After you get your coffee, don't expect to have lots of elbow room or a place to spread a newspaper out - the seating area is tiny and cramped. If you come in during their busy times, you will certainly be bumping elbows with fellow patrons, who, by the way, skew toward the "hipster" demographic. But hey, this is Madison - it's impossible to avoid here. I love the 2-seater table they set outside at the corner of their cafe.. however, it's tough to claim unless you get there early in the morning (like I do)!
Speaking of hipsters, the people working behind the counter probably fall into that category as well, but I don't find them to be snooty as some other reviewers have indicated. Unless they're busy, I've always found them to be courteous, friendly and smiley. Wait times are reasonable considering the crepes are all made-to-order.
