"It hits EVERY. TIME. We order from here about once a week. I typically get some seasonal beverage and my partner gets his caramel macchiato with al a carte bacon and potatoes. Today I ordered the honey ginger latte (iced) and...well... I don't think I've ever audibly said "OH" like that without needing a towel after. It's the perfect balance of sweet and umami in a beverage, and so simple. Elegant is the word. I also ordered the "gobbler" sandwich cause I knew I wouldn't be able to make lunch for myself today and wow, just seriously wow. It's delightful and I will consider it a crime if it isn't added to their year-round menu. It's also HEFTY- It'll be lunch and dinner. The perfect flavors to make you feel "festive" but also not sick of turkey and dressing. Brussels on a sandwich is a power move. I also have to note that every time I've gotten food here with potatoes as the side, they do not skimp. I don't know if I'm just catching the chef in a good mood every time or something but it's so nice to see breakfast potatoes not served in a bird size portion. 🩷 My only note is that their seasonal menu is still "fall", I don't know if they have any winter stuff but honestly, I'm NOT mad about being able to get pumpkin spice still. 😂"

"Another location that is serving high quality coffees and their own baked goods. The croissants look as authentic as French and freshly made daily by their bakery. Delicious drinks and beautiful ambiance. Parking is available as well as convenient drive through. Beautiful location."

"THE best place for breakfast! Especially the avocado toast and the iced coffees with flavored foams. Every time I come into town, I come to one of the Ancora Cafes just to get the avocado toast with the shaved brussel sprouts tossed in honey, and cashew cream spread. It’s fantastic! They also have delicious fresh homemade donuts. And the prices are amazing! Yum!"

"My partner and I probably go to Ancora a bit more than we should, but it’s always great. The Monona location is new and just a few steps away from us, and every time we order pick up, it’s always ready and fresh. I love their fruity pebbles latte (keep it year-round please!) always a treat! Their donuts are so fluffy and my partner loves them, I’m also a huge fan of their buttery chocolate croissants. My go to food items are their burrito bowl with is fully customizable, it’s filling and I love the flavors. We recently started getting their sourdough toast/jam instead of the donuts (to save some calories 😅) and their jam is house-made and always fantastic. The flavors usually rotate depending on the season (I love their cranberry apple jam!) Keep in mind this place is always busy, so mistakes happen, as with any place! Other than that, the Monona location, in my personal opinion is just as amazing as the others."

"Was soooo good. I got the chorizo hash with no egg and the blackberry mint matcha. And I normally don’t love matcha but this was heavenly. Our food also came out pretty fast despite how full it was in there."
