| - This is my coffee place of choice.
The staff: Always friendly and seem happy, even when they are getting absolutely destroyed by the crowds at any number of large events that take place on State or the Capital. They knuckle down and crank out delicious coffees and teas, fast! I am always greeted like an old friend, and I have come to think of them as such.
My favorite coffee treat is a "Turtle Mocha," latte, with an extra shot and half the syrup. (Otherwise its a bit too sweet for my taste) I look forward to it as a weekly bonus to myself. Even their straight up coffee is wonderful, and doesn't have that burnt over-roasted Starbucks flavor or the insufferable pretentiousness and long lines of Collectivo. Their pastries are yummy and fresh, and I hear their sandwiches are good too, though I have not tried it.
Decor- Old school coffee house cafe charm, keeping to the "Michelangelo" art theme, they have some great renditions of his work on the walls by local artists. It's not a huge place, but I can usually find a seat in a comfy chair somewhere if I want to hang out.
I just love these guys. Thanks for putting up with all of us, Michelangelo's. We appreciate you and your hard work. Keeping Madison caffeinated is a never ending job. Thank you.
