Love to check out Ledger Coffee Roasters whenever I am in Madison. Great local spot to grab some…read moreexceptional coffee that is expertly roasted and a real job to drink. I sat in the lounge area just outside of Ledger and fired up my laptop to do some work while enjoying the coffee and it was great. The donut from a local donut joint was a perfect addition to the cup of coffee and would certainly bring me back time and time again. Their coffee is so good, I have ordered beans to be shipped back to my house, as well! The only complaint that I have about the place is that an 8AM opening for any coffee shop is simply far too late in my book. Aside from that, awesome spot and highly recommend it.

This place gave me New York coffee shop vibe, but in the snooty way. Is their coffee good, yes. Was…read morethe wait long, yes. Were the staff friendly...not really. 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.

The most unbelievable email ive ever read. I said I was uncomfortable about something at the…read moreforward coffee shop and posting a review of my experience on yelp or google of a business and sharing what I experienced is freedom of speech and that's what yelp and google is. They threatened legal action if I shared what I experienced. The email that I'm still speechless about they directly insinuated i have mental health issues - all bc I asked to speak to a manager about something that was making me uncomfortable and would make anyone uncomfortable. This entire email is the clearest example of destructive gaslighting i have ever see. I have never spoken a word to them about my personal life, I have never said a word about 'metal health issues. I was not given any opportunity to speak or defend myself.They made sure i wasnt called only emailed to control their narrative of me. I made the decision to never come back days ago. I go almost every day. I am unbelievably nice. I dont say anything besides my order and small friendly talk. I say thank you every time i get my drink and smile. I am not someone that would randomly make things up. I explained a situation that happened 5 months ago but as you can see in the email they've apparently 'looked at all the footage' and have made their conclusion in less than a day. There's no way you can go over 8 months of footage in less than a day. There's no way to make an accurate fair conclusion in less than a day. As you can see in their response they accused me of trying to make employees look bad. Here was the incident: I came out of the exit door to the bathroom and two employees had been so close to the door that I hit them by accident. I asked 'can I help you?' And they ran away. Even then I didn't say anything. It was invasive, inappropriate, and incredibly rude. I should have said something as anyone would but I didn't. Somehow I knew this would happen if I said a word. They usually have one or two at the front and are very often alone but bc the employees didn't see anything that means I'm lying. Make that make sense Their false accusations and threats of taking legal action is laughable. They even had the balls to give me the number of a mental health line. It is absolutely despicable and condescending. It's hilarious to me that they set these rules and conclusions that I must follow as if not following it is doing something illegal. I'm not an idiot. I feel so sad for people that are actually like this bc it only shows how many issues they have and how unhappy they are. It shows the type of people they are and their morals and values and indifference. To know a collective group of people, a well known and popular coffee shop, handles a customer telling them something is making them uncomfortable is in reality the direct opposite of how establishments are as a norm. It makes me very concerned for customers. Lastly The email written to me said how'd they they don't have cameras in the bathroom or stalls so they don't know if anything happened. The incident was not inside the bathroom and stalls. I said that many times and made clear. They lied to make me look even worse.The moral of the story is don't speak up when you feel uncomfortable bc it's your fault you feel that way. Keep spreading that message my friends. I was told it was inappropriate to contact any employees or go into the store as if I had already done something or was going to. I do not behave in that way nor have I ever.. I dont have any contact info for any of them. Ive never seen any of them outside the coffee shop or spoken to them. I don't even know their names.. The emails are not in order - yelp has been mixing them up when I put them in order. Sorry about that

One of my favorite spots! My friend and I came in on a busy Sunday.

The sandwich was tasty, though I wish it was served on something other than a hamburger-type bun. Be aware that since the food is made to order--as in, the barista had to beat the eggs -- it can take a while. And since the coffee wasn't hot, if you're like me you'll finish the coffee before getting the food. I'd give it more like 3 stars, but I really like the space. It's very small, but has well-thought out placement of seats.

I also ordered the nom nom on a cheddar chive biscuit it had an egg, cheese, and a little bit of maple syrup on it. It was sooo delicious you should absolutely get it. I think some hot honey or a little bit of Tabasco would also be sooo good on it if you're brave enough to bring it! The general vibe of the coffee shop is bright and homey with high ceilings. A lot of nice wood furniture! It was a great place to get some work done. I will definitely be coming back.

I've been here 3 times. Visit 1: Purchased a cheddar chive biscuit and jalapeño popper scone to…read morego. Biscuit was wonderful, scone had no flavor. Seems like they bake in a convection oven based on the crunch of the outside of these items. Visit 2: Ordered a Chai and Nom Nom sandwich for dine in. Chai had NO flavor. It tasted like milk with some cinnamon sprinkled on top. The Nom Nom sandwich was a No No. It's a cheddar chive biscuit with egg, cheese, and maple syrup. It does not work. Listen, if maple syrup were good on eggs, it would be a thing. It's not. Furthermore, the way the cooked the egg was freaking weird (soft boiled?). The yolk was nasty and they did not season the egg. The maple syrup completely hid the taste of the biscuit, which made their wonderful cheddar chive biscuit pointless. They would be much better off making a basic egg and cheese biscuit. Just because you are located in Madison doesn't mean you have to try to come up with something unusual. Be yourself and show off your food! Visit 3: Got 1 cheddar chive biscuit to go. Woah. You'd think I offended the person working the counter. "That's IT???" she said, along with an eye roll. I felt as if she would have rather not I not bought anything. And the other person working also glared at me. WTF??? Normally I would give a pass, but a previous review mentioned the rudeness. I don't feel like being treated like that again, so I'm done. The only thing worth getting was the biscuit anyway. I can do without.

I like that you can sit outside on the patio with dogs. Young Blood even gave us a small water bowl for our dog on our last visit. Definitely a chill place to sit inside too as it is nice and pretty spacious, although no dogs inside. Giving four stars because parking can be a challenge when they have events going on.

And no offer to charge me the price of a basic coffee (no basic coffee...at a coffeshop, imagine that!). And then when we recieved out cofee, no, "Thanks for stopping in". Noting but a, "Here's your coffee, this one has cream". If you want a sterile hipster atmosphere without any cozy, then this is the place for you!

That was greatly appreciated since we didn't have to wait just to get to the window to order then wait some more. My son had a shake and I had a coffee. We both enjoyed our drinks very much. The lacking star is for the sandwiches. He had the pesto and I had the turkey. The sandwiches could be equated to frozen microwavable sandwiches but with even more gross "meat". Both were just the breading and patties. We didn't bother w the sandwiches. I'm not even sure who thought these would be an option to feed to people, but please tell me that you only ran out and had to get backups this day. Other than this, I would highly recommend the drink options.
