Forward Craft & Coffee was such a fun find! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel…read morewelcome with their friendly, upbeat service. The space has an awesome ambiance--bright, inviting, and comfortable--with plenty of seating whether you're looking to knock out some work, catch up with friends, or just relax in the cozy lounge area. I also loved the unique selection of both coffee and craft beer, making it the kind of place you could visit any time of day. It's not your typical coffee shop, and that's what makes it stand out. Great atmosphere, great people, and a menu that's worth exploring. I'll definitely be back!

The interior is smaller than it looks, and not much seating…read more The Pumpkin spice latte is good but there's definitely more milk than coffee, and the pumpkin spice flavor is a bit flat. The vanilla latte was okay, it has a very powdery texture to it which wasn't the best. The barista was nice and recommended us her fav coffee. Will be back to try the San Francisco. This place is decent if u need a pick me up!

Their Matcha is amazing! One of my favorite places to get a Matcha Latte! I get an Iced Matcha…read moreLatte with Oat Milk and (if available) Sugar-Free Vanilla Flavoring. The staff are great friendly and happy to help you. They enjoy talking to their customers while at the register, or after you pick up your drink. For the ambiance, it depends where you go. The one on State Street is good for noise level. Music isn't too loud or people aren't too loud. The location on Northport Road is a drive-though, but that doesn't matter. The staff are still friendly and happy to talk to you :) The one on University is the same for both locations above.

Never heard of this chain before & had to check it out while in the area. They had multiple…read morelocations around Madison but the Sunday hours varied so we ended up driving a bit out of the way to check it out. I got an oreo blended latte (probably not the official name) which was really good. We were headed back to MN so the blended drink was nice to sip on the ride back. I'd probably stop here again if i'm ever in the area.

All the EVP beans are air-roasted at EVP's East Washington location. EVP is one of the only coffee shops that can actually make a proper latte... Crema only - not a half a cup of foam. The baristas take their coffee preparation seriously - and it shows. Tracy Danner - The Grand Dame of the Madison Coffee Scene takes pride in every aspect of the EVP enterprise. She supports her employees and the community. She strives to make all of her customers happy and goes out of the way to treat us regulars like family.

Stopped in to grab a chai latte to-go. The line moved quickly and my latte was made super quick…read more Not my favorite chai latte but they have great coffee. I loved their seating areas: outside, couch seating, and tables. A great place to meet someone or work. They even have a small childrens toy area near the couches. Great windows with tons of natural light. It's a bit cluttered and dated but great neighborhood coffee shop vibes. They have some awesome merch. I loved their travel coffee tumblers. Note that the parking lot is always busy, but I've always been able to find a spot. They also have additional street parking on Midvale.

After visiting my Colectivo on a previous visit to Madison, I vowed to hit every location in the…read morecity and with my most recent visit and a stop by to this location, goal achieved! I fell in love with the brand via their downtown locations, tasty coffee, creative recipes, chill and local vibes, sustainable and a good cause. All the things! This location is a bit different than their downtown locations, not in service or menu, but it vibes, decor and overall space. This Colectivo is located in an older plaza with a bit of historical significance to the area. With that, Colectivo kept the bones and history of the place, including a cool fireplace inside, and ultimately arranged the restaurant around what was there, not the other way around. As with the other locations, I have an absolute favorite on the menu, an item I am utterly obsessed with...The Iced Cold Brew Oat-Chata. Absolute perfection in an iced coffee cup! Seems fairly simple, but it is complex, layered in flavors and just an enjoyable drink to chill with while hanging out here! As with the other locations, they do offer a bit of food from prepared meals and sandwiches to pastries and treats as well. Service is always stellar at Colectivo and this location is no exception. Overall, massive fan of Colectivo!

The space is spacious, bright, and welcoming, making it a great spot to meet friends for coffee, catch up, or enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The staff was also very helpful and made the experience even better. I love finding coffee shops that offer delicious drinks and a comfortable atmosphere, and Qamaria is definitely worth a visit. I will be back again to try more of their menu!

This is a fantastic spot to meet up, hang out, or work remotely! The space is so clean and modern…read morewith plenty of open tables and options to choose from. The staff are also extremely friendly. My wifi went out, so I needed a coffee shop to work from. I had heard good things about this space so came to check it out. I was able to setup, get some work done and then place my order. Unfortunately, they are clearly very popular and were sold out of most of their food. Luckily the one thing they had in stock was the honey cheese bread, which is what I wanted to try. I have had a version of this at an italian spot which used foccacia, and this very brought me back to it with a nice spin. It's well portioned and you'll spend about $8 for it, but it's worth it for a nice filling sweet treat. It's cut like a pie and formed on top like a honeycomb. They drizzle honey all over it and it is a MUST. The sweet from the honey mixed with the sesame in the bread and the creaminess from the cheese is to die for. They warm it up for you too and come hungry cuz it's dense, but you won't be able to stop eating it. Happy fooding!

Only complaint is the cashiers could be consistently more pleasant. About 40% to 50% of the time I would assess the behavior of the cashier as slightly rude, based on my last several Sunday morning experiences. I know, I know... what am I expecting on Sunday mornings. But still, hang overs don't excuse poor customer service.
