Right to the point here: my coffee was excellent. And you can tell they know what they are doing (and are good at it), so I will definitely be back for more.
My only complaint is that the atmosphere feels rather cold and sterile,and the vibe I got from some of the employees was less than friendly. It seems like the space itself was designed for an upscale area in Chicago or New York rather than a college neighborhood in Madison.
That being said, I will try and stop by when it's a little busier and bring some people with me to see if maybe the weird vibe I got was all in my head.
All that really matters is the coffee, though, and I'm excited to try some espresso drinks and experience the magic that others have been raving about!
