    Small Oat milk Latte. Cup comes full

    I came here with a friend after hearing about the cool dome online. The cafe was very nice, and the barista was friendly and willing to make an interesting request for a golden latte/cappuccino combo. There seemed to be a lot of food options, and the decor and vibes were fun. Lots of seating which was extremely nice to see. This friend and I have come up with an extremely arbitrary ranking system for coffee shops leading us to give Rotunda a ranking of 9.02/21 with the highlights being drinkware, atmosphere, location, and chairs (ergonomics and number) Would love to come back and try more of the drinks they have to offer!

    Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and lots of street parking. I had a cafe miel with almond milk and one of the mini cheese bear claws.

    This place is the BEST! Their coffee is great, it's super affordable, and they also have delicious food. I recommend getting the breakfast melt with bacon and adding pesto. It's a HUGE sandwich and so yummy! Not to mention they also serve Paul's Pelmeni and you can also buy frozen orders to take home to cook yourself here. A great option if you don't feel like venturing down to the State Street area, but you find yourself in need of dumplings! Today my fiancé got a dirty chai which he said was delicious, and I got an iced lavender latte. We are splitting the breakfast melt because like I said, it's huge! We got two drinks and the sandwich for under $20. I believe it's the owner who works the counter. He is always super friendly and his staff all seem like they're in a good mood and make a good team. Plus, this space is beautiful and there are a ton of different seating options- from high top tables, to individual rooms, tables good for spreading out and studying, and comfy chairs as well. Definitely give this place a try. For how great it is, it should be constantly hustling and bustling.

    Deliciousness!

    I paused half-way through eating this delicious vegetarian burrito at the Rotunda to leave a review about how delicious and flavorful it is! You should try it along with a cup of their fabulous coffee!

    This morning, I had an excellent breakfast at a place where the food was hot, tasty, expertly…read morecooked and reasonably priced. I had the one egg skillet and including coffee. Nice ambience, too. I had a pretty view of a courtyard and there was plenty of room to read my paper. The place is called the Good Day Coffee Shop and it's the best kept secret in Madison. No, it's not trendy but everyone is welcome and the owners Jo and Tom are there to make you feel at home and wish you a good day!

    A state employee, I had the chopped steak today (9-17-15), because I'd had it before in my own…read morebuilding next door, and it was great. Unfortunately, I had to stop eating today's version, because it was pink throughout the center. It is very unsafe to eat chopped meat that is not well done (grey). This is and has been universally accepted for a very long time. I called and spoke to the manager. Although he said I may have a refund (which I'll go in to get), instead of acknowledging the seriousness of the matter, and telling me he'd ensure that all items are properly and safely cooked from now on, he said, "Well, that's a matter of opinion." No, it isn't. Grey is grey and pink is pink. I've worked in restaurants, and I also know the difference between well done and medium-well. I know the difference between pink and grey. I wish this gentleman had shown the proper level of professionalism and taken my call more seriously from the outset. (He assured me, after I objected to his comment, that he "is" taking it seriously.)
