The service was fast and there was plenty of seating and wifi available too. It's pretty busy on Sunday mornings, definitely a bit harder to get work done if you need to really put your head down. The tables are all open so there aren't booths to help dampen noise. Just so you can plan accordingly :)

I first tried Rusty Dog Coffee at Valentia Coffee. The sign near the sugar stand suggests trying…read moreless sugar or cream than you are used to in order to truly taste the coffee. 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!

This was one place I definitely wanted to try. I decided on drive thru and ordered an iced cold…read morebrew. I asked about cold foam and the person who I was speaking with only gave me an option of mango lemon cold foam? I asked again, as I know cold foam can be vanilla or salted caramel and maybe I miss understood. She again said mango lemon? I then said to just give me a splash of half and half. As I went to the drive thru window the girl asked what cold foam I wanted? I told her I didn't order the cold foam because the flavor was odd to me and didn't sound good in cold brew. She told me that they do have vanilla and salted caramel and asked me if I wanted her to add that and the charge to my order? I told her no thank you and paid for my iced cold brew ( honestly the cold foam at that point should have been no charge with all the confusion ). She handed me my drink and then I asked if they have a loyalty program and then the girl ( named Shirley) said that they do and I asked if she could add me. She took my phone number and then I asked if the drink I just purchased would be included in my reward loyalty program. She said that it wouldn't be because she had already rang me up and I paid. This was not a good experience in my opinion. Lots of misses How does the cold brew taste you ask? Meh, It is bitter and I am sad to say that

Yelp wants me to review this Starbucks. I really dont know what to say, unlike some chains,…read moreStarbucks stores dont seem to vary much. I cant say I've ever had an issue with any of them (outside of taking issue with some well publicized occurrences at locations I personally havent been to, but I digress). Every time I've been, the staff has been helpful. There has been a line and it has moved quickly. It is sometimes impossible to find parking-- that must be a trend with Starbucks locations because the Fitchburg and West locations have the same issue. "Oh, we need a location to open another Starbucks? Find us a strip mall with the LEAST PARKING EVER." I go to this one the most because it is right by my house. The most for me is MAYBE once a week because any more frequent than that would be too much money and too many calories. But delicious.

A great selection of breakfast items and baked goods as well as a long list of lunch sandwiches! I tried the deluxe bfast sandwich which was yummy. Vegetarians may have less options due to a lack of vegan meat options but they do have different pricing for no meat sandwiches which is nice or a lot of veggies to sub. Matchas looked well done but I didn't end up ordering one. Pricing is overall reasonable. I came in on a Wednesday mid morning and it was bustling. Service was very efficient on both food and drinks!

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!

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.
