    Chocolate chunk cookies
    Gary A.

    Another great cup of coffee and chocolate chunk sea salt cookie. Very good service and excellent coffee. I really enjoy the cookie, both soft and crunchy.

    Wrapless Wrap - Scrambled egg with roasted vegetables over a fresh bed of spinach.

    Ever since someone got me a maple ice brew from true coffee, I've been back here for a daily fix in the afternoon whenever im on this side of town. Their coffee truly taste better but that's nothing to write about. Today, i stopped in for an a coffee in the morning and got hungry seeing all the bakery items. Got a few to go and then also decided to have a wrapless wrap for breakfast. Simple and tasty. Scrambled egg with roasted vegetables over a fresh bed of spinach. Nice! Will definitely need back to try lunch too.

    Homemade lemonade with violet syrup
    Andrew J.

    This is my new favorite coffee shop in the Madison area that I just discovered. I love the vibe of this coffee shop and everything I have tried here tastes fresh and homemade like my grandma cooked it for me. The interior as well feels very homey. I purchased a lemonade and it is the best lemonade I have ever had, they make it homemade in house with fresh lemonades (I saw them making it with about 20 lemons or so in a pitcher). I also had a chai tea latte and it had a nice spice flavor to it. We ordered the pumpkin cranberry muffin and it tasted as if it was made that day, with fresh cranberries and nut garnish on top. The biscuit breakfast sandwich was also very good. The prices are very reasonable given how fresh the drinks and food are, about 0.75 to 1 dollar less than Starbucks menu prices I would estimate on average. I cannot comment on the coffee drinks as I am not a coffee drinker but they have a wide variety of coffees from many locations around the world, including: Brazil, Colombia, Kenya, Mexico, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Papua New Guinea. These are all available for sale by the bag along with nice small other gifts including coffee mugs and some outdoor game items (including airplanes and more). This is perfect as right outside the coffee shop out back there is a nice courtyard area with a big open space for kids to play while families can sit enjoying the nice weather on the patio.

    This soggy mess was, at best, Gas station quality.

    Disappointing service, coffee and food. Wanted to dine in, but still got a sub standard "latte" in a paper cup! Then a microwaved soggy breakfast biscuit.

    True has such a great space and great people. They're coffee is good too. I love the seasonal flavors they offer on top of just generally good coffee. Service is super fast and accurate. Staff is wearing masks and social distancing is enforced. Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to enjoy the space more. There's outdoor space that looks out over the water and plenty of indoor space to enjoy as well.

    Went here to grab coffee on a Sunday afternoon. Staff was very friendly and patient in letting us look at the menu. We ordered a drip coffee and a "chorizo" burrito. The burrito was full of vegetarian chorizo, black beans, eggs, and cheese and came with a side of salsa. Overall pretty good burrito, but maybe could have used some cilantro or something green with it. The salsa also could have used a little heat to it, but then I'm a fan of spice. Overall good price for what I got though. I'd definitely come back to try out some of the other food. The place also felt very safe with people distancing throughout the space.

    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. There was music playing and…read morepeople at every table, but it was a nice balance as we were working and talking, and both were fine. The mocha was great. My friend ordered an Oreo Cold Brew (not pictured)-- yum!! Will definitely have to get this next time. The cinnamon roll was delicious, the perfect icing ratio. The staff was wonderful as always.
