I ordered two drinks... the barista asked if I was going to drink one on the go or if I was taking it home with the other. Then he asked how far away we were from drinking it. He made the drinks at a temperature that made them the exact right temp to drink by the time I got home. They know their stuff. And their stuff is delicious. Browsing the board shop is a definite plus.

Workers are very nice and hardworking! The coffee is some of the BEST you can get in Madison. I have never been disappointed with an order. Same with the food! My favorite is their ham, Gruyère, mustard crepe but I recently tried their ramp pesto, egg, and balsamic reduction crepe and it was also DELICIOUS! Their sweet crepes are amazing, as well. I recommend the lemon curd one as it is not overly sweet.

First time here. We were visiting Madison and walking around the downtown area. It's a small space…read more(almost tiny) that sits at a narrow intersection, so it's literally a pie-shaped space. The upside is that there are lots of windows with natural light. The inside seating consists of long tables or counters along the windows. This is not a place where you are likely to hunker down for a quiet or private conversation. You can tell that storage space is at a premium, with boxes stashed in overhead areas or equipment in the bathrooms. The staff there were very pleasant and helpful. Ended up getting a Chai Latte (extra foam) in a mug. It didn't take long to make, and they delivered it out to the table. It was an excellent drink -- hot, flavorful, extra foam, and not too sweet. A joy to drink. The atmosphere is a bit manic. With the tight seating, you can feel a bit claustrophobic, or on the other hand, like you are at a concert and getting energy from the crowd. For me, it's a place to grab a drink and find a quiet space elsewhere. So not likely a place that I would return to.

I sat in the lounge area just outside of Ledger and fired up my laptop to do some work while enjoying the coffee and it was great. The donut from a local donut joint was a perfect addition to the cup of coffee and would certainly bring me back time and time again. Their coffee is so good, I have ordered beans to be shipped back to my house, as well! The only complaint that I have about the place is that an 8AM opening for any coffee shop is simply far too late in my book. Aside from that, awesome spot and highly recommend it.

This place gave me New York coffee shop vibe, but in the snooty way. Is their coffee good, yes. Was…read morethe wait long, yes. Were the staff friendly...not really. This place is giving, no nonsense, here's your coffee - get it and go with a premium price. I would say their location is prime - being the only coffee shop inside garver feed mill, so they will always have a steady stream of people, plus orders online, which added to the wait. Was it worth it - to have a coffee while strolling, I suppose. Any time else, not really.

I ordered an iced chai and was entire amped to see they had cannoli in the case! As a certified Sicilian cannoli snob, my hat is off to Michelangelo's for their cannoli. The folks behind the counter were also kind and welcoming -- the woman behind the counter/cashier who grabbed my delicious cannoli and the man who made and handed me my beverage -- pleasant experiences all around. I would go out of my way to come back through Michelangelo's.

Delicious Pastries and Amazing Staff…read more Batch Bakehouse is easily one of my favorite spots in Madison. Everything I've tried has been so fresh and flavorful, from the croissants to the cinnamon rolls. The pastries are buttery, light, and have the perfect balance of sweetness. You can really tell everything is made with care. The staff is always friendly and helpful, even when the place is busy, and the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. It's hard to walk out with just one thing because everything in the case looks incredible. Parking can be a little tricky since it's street parking, but it's absolutely worth it. Batch is my go to for mornings when I want to treat myself or grab something special to share. My job use to order for the office once a month and it was always my favorite day.

As someone who often used both of those things (and had enough "burnt" Starbucks to assume I hated all dark roasts), I was skeptical. But I did it! As it turns out, dark roast can be smooth and delicious- and it really doesn't need anything! I've been ordering Rusty Dog ever since (and laughed when I asked after the particularly good coffee at Sofra and discovered it was a Rusty Dog blend). I would also like to add that the customer service is excellent. After making an order and receiving 1 whole-bean bag (I don't own a grinder and couldn't use it), I emailed and received an answer and remedy - at night! - within minutes. Incredible!
