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!

You order at the counter and the staff brings the food out to you. It can get busy. When I'm here for breakfast, I invariably order the Honey Bacon Biscuit. It has a fried egg, bacon, cheddar, hot honey and scallion on a biscuit. It's perfect. I've gone for lunch a few times, but I always return to my first love, the Honey Bacon Biscuit. Their seasonal drinks are fantastic as well. No disappointments, no notes.

WOW. So glad my friend brought me here - this place is stunning!…read more I was blown away when we walked in. The ambiance, decor, and style in here is incredible. Worth a visit in and of itself! They have patio, indoor, and upstairs seating with a mix of table types and styles. Their little bar seating on the main floor was so cute! We opted for upstairs - nice and quiet, and cozy. I ordered a matcha, and we both got breakfast sandwiches. I appreciate that they have gluten free bread! We ordered at the front, and delivery to our table took a while: 20+ minutes I'd guess? It felt a bit long for a casual cafe. My sandwich and side of potatoes were good - potatoes were a little cold, but still tasted good. The matcha was delicious! We got a fruity pebbles latte as well, and it was so bizarre - kinda good, but kinda weird?! Super interesting to try - I feel like it would work better as a matcha latte!

I wish I had stopped by later in the day for cocktails - but for now, we were here with a desperate need for coffee. There were so many cool options in the menu like the Red Bean Matcha Latte, the Fig Apple Chaider or the Ca Phe Sua Da. But of course, I had to order the Pandan Iced Latte. I absolutely loved the nuttiness of the Pandan in a latte - I'm just surprised more coffee shops don't offer it. And the perfect offset to it was the Ca Phe Sua Da, or Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It wasn't as mind blowing, but still tasty. Next time I'm in Madison, I'm definitely stopping through for some cocktails!

The place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe that worked well for a casual hour. Glou Glou had a partnered food truck outside, from which I grabbed dinner. Made things easy and I appreciate the local business supporting local business supporting local business thing going on among the three entities. I ordered wine based on the owner/operator's recommendation. The service felt personal and I suspect people that know about wine (not me) could have good conversation at the bar with her about such. Overall, it was a simple but enjoyable night, and the kind of spot I'd return to when I want something low-key but well done.

The only thing that would make it even better is having a few more drink options, but I still had a great experience and would definitely come back.

This is the best latte I've had this year--perfect if you like coconut cream cold brews but prefer something a little sweeter than a cold brew, like me.

So delicious It wasn't very busy in there and I got my drink super fast, the barista even walked it out to the table I was waiting at. Highlyyyy recommend this place for coffee!

Upon walking in you immediately know you're going to love the place. It's so cute and cozy. There is indoor and outdoor seating, cute decor, and chocolate galore. 2. I ordered the drinkable hot chocolate. It was good, although a little thick. I would have wanted a bit of almond milk to thin it a bit but I loved how rich it was. My daughter also got the kids chocolate frappe (I think that's what it was called) she loved it! 3. We received one free truffle each since it our first time there. We ordered the mint, vanilla bean, and turtle truffles. I also ordered the sea salt caramel truffle and my daughter got a gaming boy stick chocolate. So cool. 4. We also tried their cookies so tasty! 5. The lady working was sooooo sweet. Omg, she truly was. I'm so sorry I didn't get her name but she made us feel welcome (almost everyone in Wisconsin made us feel that way) and she was no different. What a pleasant experience as we headed back home. Highly recommend that you drop in when you are in the Madison area!
