Rosie's coffee bar expertly crafts their coffee, Ronnie is truly an artist and one of the best baristas in Madison. Any coffee you order she makes it with expertise and it will always have the perfect balance of flavors. Kathleen is also great as is the rest of the staff.
The doughnuts here are amazing I recommend the maple bacon or raspberry filled, the simple cake doughnuts are also very good. I must also say I am in love with the almond scone. I have tried the bacon egg and cheese biscuit and found that to be above average, as well as the main Monona club in lunch offerings.
If you are looking for a local gem of a cafe stop into Rosie's where the staff is friendly and the owner Coz actually really cares about her patrons.
