The loveliest little coffee shop on Atwood. I love their rotating tap menu of cold coffees, and that every drink I’ve ordered so far has been beyond my expectations. The friendliest staff, too!

Everyone who works here is super nice. The food is meh but I'm thankful they are working on expanding what they can serve with a limited kitchen. Great coffee, great beer. For snacks, try the local chips and nuts. Did I mention how nice the people are? So nice!

They always have new and exciting flavors, you can never go wrong with a flight! My favorite spot for a drink - non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Best matcha latte in town!

Had one of the best donuts of my life here! Coffee was very good too. Will be coming back.

This is just like the Barriques it replaced, but with craft beer instead of wine, and no real food. Great atmosphere and location. Good beer selection. Standard coffee fare.

I love it here! Cozy aesthetic. Super friendly bar tenders/baristas. When I had first moved to Madison this was one of the first places I went were people engaged with me and talked to me about the city so the customer base is super chill and friendly as well. Great rotating tap selection and well made coffee beverages.

Fabulous spot! Very friendly staff and helpful— I actually needed a shovel in a pinch on a snowy day and they let me borrow it. The only reason I’m leaving 4 stars and not 5 is because I think they should sell their mini donuts with the flight of coffee, not just the flight of beer. Coffee & donuts are BFFs!

Great atmosphere and the coffee was delicious! Such a wonderful way to find a bit of stillness before the day.

Welcoming spot. Friendly staff. Chill/cozy vibe. Getting a flight of Nitro and Craft is a neat experience. Check them out! You can also order food from neighboring businesses.

Love the ambiance, great place to hang out with a friend, date, or get some work done. Give the Fox Paw a try!

Great espresso and wonderful space to enjoy. A fireplace in the lounge will be cozy in the cooler months. In summer, the lounge doors open wide to the street.
