Steve Cecil: Check out Redamte while you're here! Great coffee and Panini's!!
Andrew Kalies: The heart of downtown Madison. Lots to see and do, great food, and nice shops. Great for street photography. Tip the street performers, but be wary of the occasional bum/homeless person.
Your 5th Aunt: Forget Starbucks here when you got many other awesome cafés to check out.

Rachel: Loved the sequoya bomber pizza. We also appreciated that they offered gluten free crusts for my mom, who has celiac disease. I would stop here all the time if I lived in Madison.
Courtney Reichard: The Bada Bing may be the best pizza I have ever had...bacon, asparagus, carmelized onion, mushroom and white sauce. Delish!
Dougie Cyanide: Free meals for veterans on Veterans Day.
Leia Ferrari: They have a hidden patio/garden in the back, check it out when the weather is nice. Also, the best chai in Madison, hands down.
Clare: Their Caramel Macchiato is awesome. Their Chai Charger is awesome. Their smoothies are awesome. The food is awesome. As long as you can find a seat, it's a worthy hangout spot for reals.
Paul Baker: yummy baked goods and good coffee. This space hosts live performances, bless their hearts.
