  • The many Barriques locations scattered throughout Madison are different enough that each merits its own review. The Monroe St. location is probably my favorite, due to the ease of parking, the comfortable atmosphere (not too cavernous, with a rustic feel) and the really pleasant staff, who make the place a pleasure to spend time in. At this location you are also likely to spot at least one of the Berge brothers who own the Barriques properties. They, too, are pleasant and knowledgeable about the vast wine and spirits selection provided in the back of the store. The Alterra coffee used at Barriques yields some of the best coffee drinks in town. Soups, light fare such as veggie wraps, and the cheese plate are particular standouts in the food department. What are the drawbacks of Barriques on Monroe? The space is small - smaller than the other locations they have (particularly the next-closest one off the Capitol Square), meaning that you will frequently stumble into a very crowded space. The tables, as always, are often wobbly and can be difficult to work with, although the large family-style tables that can (should) be shared are great. Finally, one major gripe I have with all the Barriques locations is that the bakery items just don't live up to the quality or caliber of everything else on offer. I talked to one of the employees yesterday, who told me that they are making their cookies at the Fitchburg location and baking them on-site. I don't know if that's a new practice, but there are a couple new welcome additions to the cookie menu. I long for a little bit better choice range in bakery. Again, the mostly full-time staff is just great. It's a pleasure to interact with them. This is a great place to hang out with a glass of wine and a good book, or to bring the laptop and hunker down for work. I'm so glad that Barriques is on Monroe.
