    This place is okay. $20 for coffee and an avocado toast is ridiculous. I waited in a line longer than a mile, but the coffee came pretty fast. The place seems very sterile though. It is not cozy.

    In reflection of our Wisconsin trip (Milwaukee & Madison), Wonderstate stands out as our favorite coffee visit! We came 2x and once had to wait quite a while given it was a busy Saturday with a lot happening downtown, and it was so worth the wait! We loved our lattes! The espresso quality was rich and the drinks not too sweet or too milky, but balanced just right! We tried and loved both the maple and vanilla bean lattes! Staff was friendly, working hard and fast to keep up with the line out the door. The aesthetic is open, bright, and airy. Pastries looked delicious and the merch was so tempting - esp the organic cotton and hemp products! Appreciated the still and sparking water tap available for customers and clean restrooms!

    Wonderstate coffee has to be the best coffee shop on the capital. Their sea salt caramel latte is delicious and their food is always top notch. It's usually very busy with students but there is a lot of seating and it's always very bright and sunny and nice to spend time in this space.

    OMG Wisconsin was definitely the frozen tundra this week so coffee was a must! This well lit coffee shop is the perfect location to stop in before or after taking a tour of the State Capitol. Enjoyed a breve latte topped with a beautiful foam heart and a plain bagel with blueberry cream cheese.

    This was our first time here. Great service, in a bright and welcoming space, and a delicious homemade chai latte.

    Amazing coffee and breakfast options! Big glass windows support your productivity with a great view of the Capitol and great ambiance

    avocado toast
    Izzy R.

    the place is BEAUTIFUL and bright, staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is fantastic! eggs were perfectly poached and the toast is crunchy and nutty. might be the best avocado toast in the area. can't bring myself to give it anything below five stars.

    A wonderful coffee house right across from the state house in Madison, WI. It's a spacious space with windows all around the coffee house. Loved all the drinks and food we got. We decided to eat in, but somehow someone else took our drinks from the counter so they had to make the drinks again. Aside from that our experience was good.

    This coffee was great. It was super packed & the baristas weren't super nice but I didn't care once I sipped this coffee. Maple latte was 10/10

    Pros: * Amazing view of the capitol * Delicious house-made chai * Friendly staff * Absolutely bangin' playlist * Yummy blueberry muffin (hint of lemon?) * Lots of seating * Bubbly and still water options at water bottle filling station * Super bright and airy * Smells delicious in here, almost like warm spices Cons: * Difficult to find nearby parking * Seating options aren't very comfortable * Limited outlets for charging devices * Lowkey kinda expensive * The smell of the shop could be overwhelming for people with sensitive noses * Some could perceive the decor as sterile

    Welcome to Wonderstate Coffee, Madison

    Super busy today with some sort of farmer's market in the square so there was a long queue of folks getting coffee. I was fine with that, managing to find a seat and figured that I would spend a bit here to charge electronics while enjoying a coffee. And yes, the coffee was decent but I opted not to stick around since there are no power outlets here and my phone was low. On to the next! [Review 20692 overall - 262 in Wisconsin - 1673 of 2023.]

    Such a cute spot right on the square. It's very open and bright inside with adequate seating. Their merch is so cute! Menu is simple with quality ingredients. Didn't take long to get through the line to order. My order didn't take long to receive. The bagel was delicious and was very filling! It was nice to have a choice of bagel. The coffee was excellent, I will add this to my coffee spot rotation. Only negative of this place was that you were limited to 2 hours of wifi. Plenty of time for me but I could see this being a deterrent for students, etc.

    It's a really cute spot on the capitol. They have a limited menu but there's seasonal options. Even though it is right on the square the prices are a little crazy for Madison in my opinion. Very small lattes for 6-7 dollars. It's also very busy (it's not a bad thing but be prepared to wait!) the cafe is really cute though and would be a great place to study.

    We make a point to go 10 miles out of our when traveling through Madison to enjoy the avocado toast and speciality coffees.

    Very nice open space. Very clean and minimalist vibes. My vanilla bean latte was good and my bagel sandwich was great.

    This stylish bakery and cafe is a great place for lunch or dinner…read more I had the golden beet Reuben with sauerkraut on their caraway rye bread, which was absolutely delicious! This is a great vegetarian sandwich - I'm not sure if it can be made vegan. The kid's turkey sandwich is really nice and comes on a freshly baked roll with a generous side of fresh fruit-it doesn't come with mayo or another spread, so you might want to ask for. The bread was delicious and I was sad, but not surprised, there were almost no loaves left for purchase. The only negative was the greens served with the sandwich. The mixed greens were fresh, but had almost no dressing or any other veggies or toppings included.

    Date of visit: January 25, 2026…read more This was highly-rated by fellow Yelpers and a quick two-block drive from our hotel, so we were anxious to see what Madison Sourdough had to offer. Staff were very friendly, especially Onah R at the register. And the treats that we took home were fantastic: - Chocolate Chip Cookie. Slight crunch on the rim and then soft on the inside. - Molasses Cookie. The same as chocolate chip, but even better with a thick chewy center that I didn't want to end. Kouign Amman - Not as good as what we had in Paris, but a solid entry! Unfortunately, breakfast was not their strong suit. My Croque Madame was dry, and the bread was just too thick to enjoy as a sandwich, I had to open it up to be able to eat it. My husband went with the biscuit sandwich and that too was dry from what I had as I helped him finish it. On the plus side the Banana Caramel Latte was a winner. Would definitely come back for the treats, just not breakfast!
