  • While Macchiatos is still a little rough around the edges, there is much to appreciate. The staff is friendly and the space is warm and welcoming. While the food did not hit it out of the park during my visit, there is enough potential to draw me back for a return visit. I decided to check out Macchiatos after seeing a couple positive Yelp reviews and noticing the check-in offer for a free cup of coffee. I'll admit feeling some skepticism seeing the address - I remember that strip mall location as the old DeForest Public Library from my days of living in DeFo. That concern vanished as I walked in the door. The owner completely gutted the old space and created a cozy oasis for the locals to caffeinate during the day and enjoy a glass of wine and tapas during the evening. Utilizing a palette of autumn tones (dark green, burgundy, harvest gold) and an exposed brick wall behind the coffee bar, the space is immediately puts you at ease. Also appreciated is the local artwork on the walls of the facility. While there are plenty of tables to sit at, I wish there were more sofas and comfy chairs. The music, a heavy mix of 60's and 70's rock, was louder than you find in most other coffeehouses. The wi-fi signal (ask a staff member for the password) was strong, making a Macchiatos a great pit stop grab a cup of Joe and get some work done when away from home. The cheerful staff at Macchiatos helped me successfully navigate my first visit to their establishment. They greeted me as I entered, described the breakfast options available that day and delivered my sandwich to me. I noticed the owner chatting with the regulars and bussing tables, keeping the place looking sharp for my entire stay. I liked, not loved, my classic breakfast sandwich (cage free organic egg, cheddar cheese, and apple wood smoked bacon on a ciabatta roll). While I enjoyed the bacon and egg components, the slightly dry ciabatta roll dominated each bite - there was just too much bread in relation to the other ingredients. The coffee, a dark roast from Just Coffee Cooperative, needed a dose of sugar to offset the bitter finish. While I enjoyed the space more than the food during my first visit, Macchiatos is definitely a place I will return to the next time I am in town.
