What People Are Saying
from Google"Cafe Coda is THE place in Madison to hear live jazz. Check the calendar - there's not music every single night, but when there's not music there's dance classes, jam sessions, and poetry open mics. Saturday mornings have free music classes for kids who might not have other opportunities to play instruments. While jazz is Coda's primary focus, there's also some Reggae, Latin, and DJ sets. If you're a jazz musician, become a regular here. Show up to jams. Build community. The owner of this place has lots of connections in the music scene and gets great acts."
"Excellent Jazz music that was free early on a Friday night. Bar was decent but understaffed with one bartender for all the patrons. Waiting for a drink could take a bit."
"Jackson and Nina were terrific! My BFF and I felt so welcomed when we came in. Jackson made drinks that were personalized, and made our experience that more special. In addition, Nina answered questions and enhanced our time at Cafe Code that much more. I recommend this place… LOVELY!"
"It's a very unique place. It's not high tempo , very low key, chill, chess & checkers vibe. I got tequila lemonade and that was good. One bartender was short with us, one was very informative and friendly. It did have live music and at a good volume."
"So happy to be present at Cafe Coda for the Roscoe Mitchell - Douglas Ewart Ensemble featuring Junius Paul & Vincent Davis. What an impressive group of jazz musicians. A rare and delightful opportunity. Thank you for the memorable performance, the comfortable venue, and the gracious people working at this unique place."
