First time here. We were on our way up north and stopped in for a hot beverage. It's part of a…read moresmall strip mall on the west side, with a few metal café tables for outdoor seating. Inside is a large area with plenty of seating, plus some additional rooms for groups to meet. We received a friendly greeting and helpful service at the counter. I ordered my usual London Fog (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam), and they did a great job preparing it. I also ordered a Cranberry Orange Scone, which they warmed up. After a few minutes (to allow the tea to steep), both items were ready. The London Fog was excellent -- flavorful, balanced, and not overly sweet. The scone, however, was disappointing; though warmed, it tasted dry and stale. Two other issues detracted from the visit. Much of the furniture looked worn and past its prime, and there were flies throughout the space that were a constant distraction. Overall, the experience was underwhelming. While the beverage was very good, the food quality and atmosphere would keep us from recommending or returning.

But this place is a gem , coffee drinks are excellent, the food has so much flavor , I chose one of their breakfast burritos and wow was that delicious , the yogurt dish was simply but had granola and berries to knock it out of the park , the eccentric atmosphere give you a kid friendly atmosphere and a cozy grandmother's place with mismatch furniture and scruples g rooms for those damn kids people bring to breakfast

First time visiting Madison and of course, I had to check out a local coffee spot. I always love…read moretrying places that aren't chains. I found this one after seeing all the positive reviews and thought it even had a drive thru, but turns out it didn't (I think that's more of an Apple Maps issue). No big deal, we decided to head inside instead and glad we did. The place was so cozy and fully leaning into fall and Halloween vibes! From the decor to the overall atmosphere, it felt warm and festive in the best way. Their menu was super creative and seasonal too, with lots of drink options (they even serve beer, which was unexpected but cool)! Our barista mentioned she was still in training, and I appreciated her honesty and kindness. The drinks came out okay, we ordered a Pumpkin espresso, which came lightly flavored and the other, Banana Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso was a bit strong, it tasted mostly espresso with the flavors either not in the beverage or not quite blended in. I did like how she offered different milk options, that was a nice touch. I also noticed some cups had cute pumpkin toppers, which was an adorable detail (mine didn't have one, but I noticed others did). Overall, it was a cute stop with nice service and a great vibe. If this happened to be nearby when we visit again, I wouldn't mind giving it another shot.

I also really like that they serve breakfast and lunch all day. It can get a bit busy on weekend mornings, but the service is always fast and the space is cute and welcoming. They sometimes have live music, which is fun. The rewards program is also nice. Overall, it's a cute coffee spot with easy online or counter ordering for takeout or dine-in.

Pumpkin chai latte was epic! They also have self-service water, and a nice variety of sweets.read more

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.

Seems like a fun and creative menu with seasonal drink options. Refresher was nice, just like you'd expect, but a little on the sweet side for me. I got a second cup of seltzer to "cut" the drink and it was perfect. Front room is cozy with moderate noise and activity from the coffee bar and front entrance. There's a second back room that was cooler, quiet, and with lots of open tables for studying. I came on a weekday afternoon, but there was plenty of open seating even with ~10 customers sitting in. I wish there were more outlets, though!

I wish there was a Java Cat in every town. So lucky to have found it on my visit to Madison last weekend. I'll definitely return!!

The menu is quite extensive it is two laminated pages stapled together both front and back and there's an additional dry erase board with additional offerings up by the counter. They offer fresh bakery items that are quite expensive as well and they have a nice selection of gluten-free products for anyone who is interested in maintaining that type of diet, they even had gluten-free sodas and beverages. The staff was very friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time we had a chicken salad wrap called the Ella Fitzgerald and a BLT. I'm going to give it another shot because I was just a slight bit disappointed in my wrap there was an awful lot of tortilla and not a whole lot inside and I'd like to try a different item. The bathrooms were impressively roomy and very tastefully decorated and very clean.
