"Place makes for a great study spot. There’s plenty of seating and natural light, and the vibe is modern cozy. The music wasn’t too loud and mostly instrumental, so not distracting. WiFi was fast and never dropped. There did seem to be a lack of easily accessible outlets, so bring your stuff charged! The iced vanilla latte w oat milks and croissant themselves were at par with what you’d expect at a boutique coffee shop. Extra points for the “for here” glass though, definitely beats a plastic cup any day. All in all, happy I checked this place out during my stay in Madison. Oh, and it’s at the foot of the capitol building and has the lake pretty much in its backyard… can’t beat the location."

"An incredible find set right in the heart of downtown Madison. If you love single origin coffee and espresso made the right way, this is the place. Their selection of house roasted coffee is incredible as well. Loved the vibes inside."

"At noon on Saturday, what a scene, The busiest café I’ve ever seen. Ten minutes to order, four folks ahead, By the time I reached the till, I felt misled. The cashier was kind but clearly stressed, Our cappuccino chat was not their best. Fifteen more minutes, they called my name— A latte appeared, not the drink I’d claim. She offered a fix with a weary face, But the line was long, I gave her grace. The team worked hard, they gave their all, But the system’s cracks began to fall. The coffee? Fine, just not worth the fuss, Mediocre sips don’t win my trust. Next time I’ll wander, find someplace new, Where service shines and the brew does too."

"I go here every time Im in Madison! Can be loud when it’s busy but overall a pretty chill environment and good coffee. Usually always get a specialty drink to try out the new flavors! Great views and in a great location."

"We.love trying different roasters across the country and Wonderstate came highly recommended. We ordered roasted beans and they did not disappoint. Flavor profile was right on and has produced some great espressos and lattes for us. Highly recommend."
