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 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.

The strawberry shortcake donut was a bit mid to be honest but I enjoyed it. The staff was very kind and let me use the side door to accommodate bringing in the stroller.

WiFi is limited to an hour on weekends to keep traffic moving but on a weekday before close it was a perfect place to stop. I would come back!

I really needed a spot to chill and get some work done and Starbucks n stuff is always kinda buzz kill. Idk why. This place was the opposite. Now. The latte is creeping in and I can't help but drink fast so. Just come get something. FN BLOWN. I will add I believe the THCA that is used to infuse isn't decarbed in the drinks. Probably the baked goods it is. So if ur getting a drink prepare to leave with a massive headache.
