    Delicious 16oz Cardamom Mocha, hot. Smooth and creamy. The service is always lovely and the coffee is very good. I highly recommend!

    What a neat space! I especially love the market. You can grab coffee and go explore (the grow greenhouse is fun because there are plants all over the place) My lavender latte was good and my husband enjoyed his drip coffee. We loved the donut from level5 donuts too! The flavor was cherry lime. I'd recommend checking out this spot and walking around!

    Ledger has delicious oat milk lattes! The perfect location at Garver Feed Mill. A cute space where you can order, grab your drink at the counter and then either sit outside or in the Garver lounge area. Friendly and efficient staff and an overall great vibe. It's fun to grab a coffee to go and walk around their space to see the other businesses. They even have a walking trail that takes you to Olbrich Gardens.

    Ethically sourced and micro-roasted in house - yes to both!

    This place is a hidden gem! They roast their beans locally & consistently make the best coffee I've had in Madison. Highly recommend trying one of their coffee drinks and/or buying a bag of one of their beans (they'll grind them according to how you like to brew, ie, for French press or pour over or drip). Even their decaf (Rally Cry) is amazing - rich & flavorful! I can also recommend their matcha lattes which are consistently very good -- smooth and luscious. My current fave is their cardamom latte which is delightful. Friendly staff too!

    Ledger has incredible coffee. I had a half caf iced americano and it was delicious. They roast their beans in house. They had friendly baristas and a really great outdoor patio. I've been here 3 different times in my 2-days in Madison. They also have vegan donuts on the weekends-- but go early or they'll sell out. Highly recommend.

    Cute vibes, loved the area and baristas were nice. Coffee was good as well, not too sweet. I got an americano with lavender syrup!

    Very nice baristas. Modern, bright and clean coffee shop with a large outdoor patio for sitting down. Ordered their nitro cold brew and iced latte. The nitro cold brew was of decent quality but for some reason tasted on a bit light to me. The espresso in the iced latte tasted a bit smoky. Overall, a 4.5 star coffee shop to me.

    Great coffee if you're in Monona but make sure to be there early. I stopped for an afternoon pick me up and all the food was gone, I was really bummed. I love the vegan donuts they carry and was really looking forward to getting one.. oh well, next time! I did get the espresso tonic with grapefruit bitters and oh my goodness it was refreshing. Coffee is fantastic and they some unique items such as the rose latte. Will be back to try more.

    Featured espresso that I drank on the spot (midway through drinking here) and a small light roast drip to go

    Wanted some delicious coffee to reward myself after dropping someone off at the airport. Ledger was ten minutes away. I had their featured espresso (not many places have both a house and featured espresso), it was extraordinary and the same cost as espresso anywhere. Grabbed a small light roast drip coffee to go that was also great. Highly recommend if you want memorable coffee.

    Really enjoying this Super Capacity blend lately, we use it in our pump espresso machine at home. Helps to make a nice cappuccino
    Makenzie P.

    The coffee is excellent. I'm from the northwest and very used to the style of coffee in the PNW. Ledger is definitely on par with that level of quality, and it's one of my favorite coffee spots in Madison. Highlights: - Locally roasted beans - Nice foam quality (even w/ alt milk) - Simple & tasty options for added flavor(s) - Multiple options for coffee bean type if you are purchasing a bag of beans (I typically opt for the Super Capacity espresso whole bean blend to use in my espresso machine at home, but I hear the Cold Brew blend is very popular as well!) Highly recommend coffee lovers check this place out! It's quite a drive if you live on the West side, but you can check out other shops at the Garver Mill while you're there. In the same building you can find an Ian's pizza, as well as a cocktail lounge. Also, in the winter there is a lovely winter market which is fun to peruse on a chilly day. Last thing I'll say- if you're trying Ledger for the first time, be aware that Ledger does not have as many drink/flavor options as coffee chains like Starbucks. The strong suit of Ledger is the quality of the coffee.

    Maybe shooting myself in the foot giving this place 5 stars. Ledger is great and their donuts are phenomenal. The special donuts are almost always worth grabbing, but their regular vanilla glazed are seriously great, and somehow do it while being vegan! Only possible gripes I can find with this place is that you gotta get your order in at 8am on the weekends to get donuts because they sell out in no time flat. That, and it's real easy to order an $8 coffee because each option costs $1 or more.

    Great coffee and yummy potato chips
    C R.

    Nice balanced coffee. Perfect for picking up a warm cup before wandering around the botanic gardens. I also got the potato chips. They were pretty amazing- not too sweet or salty. The co-op outdoor and indoor seating are nice. (Plus, the cup design is pretty cool.)

The interior was very cozy and cute- perfect for both getting work done or chatting with a friend. The goods were pretty much sold out as expected, but I managed to snag a piece of grapefruit rosemary bread alongside a maple cardamom latte. The latte was a bit light on flavor and could have used a bit more sweetener and spice. The loaf, however, was pretty exceptional- it wasn't too sweet and the grapefruit flavor came through very well. The rosemary was also prominent but not at all overpowering. Everything looked delicious, so I definitely look forward to getting there early and trying more pastries the next time opportunity strikes. In the meantime, I definitely recommend paying a visit!

It's definitely a storefront with no seating, but if you don't mind standing there's an area where you could eat at a counter. I arrived at 9am on a Sunday and by the time I finished ordering, a line had formed out the door. I would definitely recommend getting here early; however, it's also the kind of place where you can't go wrong with anything you order. After a lot of waffling, I ordered the lemon currant scone, peach muffin, and ham and Gruyère bun. The scone was super buttery with a crunchy exterior and soft interior, with the most lovely glaze and lemon zest throughout. It definitely screamed summer. The peach muffin was super light and airy, and not at all too sweet. The crunchy cinnamon topping was absolute perfection and brought the perfect texture contrast. I really enjoyed the bun, which was like a mini sourdough loaf. I do think there could have been a bit more ham, but the caramelized onions throughout made sure that every bite was super flavorful.
