This is a fun coffee shop with yummy drinks/snacks and seating if you want to work from coffee shop :) I got a toasted cheese sandwich, reasonably priced, and it was yummy too. 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. The tables are all open so there aren't booths to help dampen noise. Just so you can plan accordingly :) read more

Cute coffee shop with a good amount of seating and outlets. There is additional seating in the back plus an outdoor area in the summertime! I got an iced coffee and it was pretty good! Would be a good spot for getting some computer work done, meeting up with friends or a coffee date. read more

Pleasant service, clean and comfortable coffeeshop. I stopped in for a carrot iced latte on a 90 degree day. It was well made and really hit the spot. Aside from the front of the shop there's a lovely seating area in the back of the shop. It's a great addition to this part of town... so stop in if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Many different blends of coffee to choose from. Scones and such available also. Coffee beans available whole or they will grind for what ever coffee maker you have. Tables available if you prefer to sit there and you can use their wifi read more

Coffee is just very very bitter, which isn't my preference. Breakfast wrap was nothing special and not much flavor. read more

This morning we ordered two medium vanilla lattes on the way to work and got in the car to find that neither had vanilla flavoring. Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened at true coffee. If you're going to charge $9 for two drinks they need to be made as the customer asks. Seems like the wait staff need a better ticketing system so that they can visually see what the client has ordered and the ticket should be printed exactly as it appears on the POS register so that the client can validate the order when swiping their card and then the barista receives that EXACT order. Very kind staff, great quality coffee, nice ambiance. They just gotta get their consistency up or else I gotta find somewhere else to go. read more

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. read more

Good coffee. Got light brew with some oatmilk. And got a cappuccino for my wife. Knocking off one star for the attitude of the cashier. Lots of folks sitting around on a Friday morning. Looks like a nice place to relax with friends. read more

Stayed at the hotel across the way. Wasn't sure what to expect but the coffee here is AMAZING. I'm into pour overs and I like the fruity or floral types. The barista was helpful and showed me the beans I could choose from. I chose a Rwanda coffee and it was really good. The donut they had was quite good as well. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

While traveling for work and not getting enough vegetables beyond filling our guts with cheese curds, beef, and burgers--this place saved us with their basic smoothies. We stayed at the Avid hotel across the way and loved grabbing our fruit from the hotel lobby and coming here for smoothies to supplement breakfast. Service is super friendly and patient! read more

This place was really nice inside and the food was even better. The people there were nice like when they were out of the first and second thing I wanted to get they gave me a free item for the inconvenience. read more

my fav coffee shop. beautiful outdoor patio!! the syrup options are devine and they have donuts!

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. read more

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. read more

terrible breakfast sandwich. it's identical to a jimmy dean biscuit and I'm pretty sure it literally is that.

What a place! I had a warm apple cider and a breakfast egg and bacon wrap. Both, fantastic! The cider was not to sweet and came with a pleasant spice packet. The breakfast wrap used real eggs! I can't tell you how many times I've been somewhere for breakfast and have been served carton eggs or some kind of manufactured patty of sorts. None of that here. Stand up place with great prices. read more

I'm very particular about my coffee and this place exceeded my expectations! I got their cold brew and two breakfast items which were also really good!

This is some excellent coffee. It's freshly roasted, nuanced, and flavorful. There's decent seating there, and baked goods I didn't sample, but they looked fairly good. read more

Stopped her with a friend for a cup of coffee. They had non dairy mills, which is great. I got an oat milk latte, which was really good. They roast their own beans, so one of the staff members walked my friend through the differences in the origins and roasts so that he could select a few bags to take home. Overall they were very friendly and knowledgeable. Glad they were open for us to have a quick, socially distanced pop in. read more

I've been here before. I like the location , food and coffee. I n the past, I often worked in the coffee shop. Today I sat in the front and the staff were extremely loud. It was hard to work. Many people were working but 1 by 1 people left since it was extremely hard to concentrate. They had 3 to on duty with little to do so the staff talked loudly about various topics. I left and doubt I will return. read more

So excited that the new cafe is on my daily commute! The cafe has much more room for customers, great ambiance and wonderful staff. An added plus is that it's next to Forage Kitchen and Buck and Honey's. Also, the blueberry scone was a delicious add-on to my coffee this morning! read more

Really tasty pastries and a good selection of classic coffee beverages from a local roaster. Would wholeheartedly recommend this spot. Also the patio has nice views. read more

Was put off by the "militant" stance of the woman barista this morning. Before taking our order, we were warned that we could only stay for 75 minutes. We knew that from previous visits. I noted the time and continued with the order. We sat, finished the coffee and pastries and read for a while. The barista must have noted the time too. She approached the table and again warned us that we had 5 minutes left in our stay. We were surprised about the manner of the announcement and immediately decided to leave. Indeed, she was about right about the time and I had Just noted that we should be on our way. I am not taking issue with the policy - the business has every right to set time limits, dress code, etc. My annoyance is how she handled the policy. Not impressed with customers relations this morning and we will probably not return. read more

Amazing coffee, tasty bakery items and a great place to sit and relax or get work done! We got great service as well and overall great experience and great shop that we'll be returning back to often read more

Little cafe with a nice patio and view of the water. Great place to stop in and get a brew(ed coffee) and a lunch. Wraps and sandwiches that are tasty and reasonably priced. Service has always been friendly on my visits and they take Covid seriously. read more

Friendly staff, good coffee and a cozy setting. I would definitely recommend True Coffee to others. It's a new favorite place for me.

Went here for the first time! Not busy but super cute cafe on the inside. I really enjoyed the coffee and the service was great as well! They made the drink quickly and were extremely nice. I will be going here again and next time I'll try some food! read more

Cute Monona coffee shop. Great egg and cheese biscuit and coffee. Very reasonable prices!

Truly excellent independent coffee shop. Friendly staff, perfect coffee. So glad we stopped here instead of a chain.

Great little cafe with friendly service and delicious coffee and beverages. Try the chorizo burrito wrap - it was so tasty. Prices are really reasonable too. read more

Small selection of drinks. Coffee wasn't great. Lids didn't fit on cups right and ended up spilling as we walked outside. Not a coffee shop environment I'd be comfortable going. I like to feel welcome and warm. This was too cold and industrial. Rude service as well. Won't return or recommend. read more

The coffee tasted great and there were multiple options. So much better than the standard chain coffee down the road. The patio will be great in the summer. read more
