"Strolling along Main Street on a hot June day hardly seems like the perfect time to visit a coffee shop. Be that as it may, I did, and it was the perfect place to cool off for a bit.\n\nRed Roaster Coffee Company & Eatery is a small, locally owned shop that breathes the essence of Madison, Indiana. Prominently situated in the heart of Downtown, the shop is the perfect size. With large windows, customers are free to take in the view of this iconic American small town. With stools made from old bourbon barrels, there is no doubt that the shop is a stone's throw from Kentucky. If one doesn't want to sit on wooden stools or chairs, the eatery has a few comfy chairs in the corner.\n\nThe Red Roaster has a basic coffee shop menu. They have a fine selection of fancy coffee drinks - you know, the tasty ones packed with sugar and have ingredients like mocha, whipped cream, and coconut milk. I know this because my girlfriend ordered one, but I drank half of it. Being me, I cannot remember the name of the drink, but it was an iced mocha latte with coconut milk. Yum! Of course, Red Roaster also has plenty of regular coffee as well - hot or iced.\n\nThe best part of the Red Roaster experience for me was the staff. I was impressed with their diligence, as well as their ability to tell us all about the City of Madison.\n\nThe Red Roaster Coffee and Eatery is the perfect hangout spot whilst spending an afternoon in Madison. I recommend it."^^ . "2018-06-10T00:00:00"^^ . . . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ .
