Brewing Wonderstate coffee and offering Madison Sourdough pastries and viennoiseries for less, this is a great on-campus spot for a quick breakfast or afternoon refuel.

I stopped in here recently with a friend and was pleasantly surprised about the range of flavors they offered. I would recommend trying the February special called, "Chocolate covered strawberry mocha." They also offer pastries and quick snacks. However, it is important to note that this place is best visited solo or with just a couple people as there is limited seating.

Java den is a surprisingly rare gem for coffee-drinkers on UW campus. They brew Wonderstate coffee, have a nice loose leaf tea selection, and source fresh pastries from Madison Sourdough. Typically very friendly baristas too, which makes it a pleasant part of my daily routine.

This place historically has had a pattern of rudeness to Asian and Asian American customers. Many of the staff were kind and helpful, but some were not. Those in management positions should have been sensitive and address this issue right away, rather than dismiss this issue. I think that all customers should be treated equally and with respect.

Excellent small coffee shop located in Grand Central serving local madison roasts from Wonderstate and baked goods from Madison Sourdough. Very fond of their monthly drink specials, highly recommended trying them yourself.

Undisputably one of the best coffee shops in Madison! The staff are super kind and understanding; one day I came in and I didn't know they only accepted MasterCard and Visa for credit cards, and I didn't think I had any cash on me. One of the lovely ladies there offered to queue it up for me and I could give her the money next time I came in! (Which is every other day).Not only that, but my coffee is made perfect every time. I don't know how they do it. My usual is the white mocha, it's the only place I take that order now! On top of that, it's in a convenient spot on the UW campus so I can run right to class after I've ordered my much-needed hot bean drink.

I love to run in here on my lunch. The staff is nice and they make yummy drinks. They don't have much for food but that isn't what they are there for. They are quick and have a walk up window for Espresso. YUM

ordered a pumpkin spice latte, and it was essentially a regular latte. no pumpkin spice what so ever, so if you're a pumpkin spice fan, maybe try a different place.

This little shop is located in the main lobby of Grand Central, an apartment complex in the heart of UW-Madison's campus. This place is pleasantly surprising. I went in to grab a quick coffee on the way to class and left happy with an exceptional batch brew from arguably one of the top roasters in the nation, Kickapoo Coffee. This place has the bells and whistles of a genuine coffee shop. The wait can be long and there is little wait space, but it is great coffee coming from this shop.

The location right on campus is prime. I really like the kickapoo coffee they serve. Great selection of baked goods and other beverages. Friendly staff and nice outdoor patio. They have great deals on the Hookd app too
