Cafe Domestique - Willy Street

I hate leaving bad reviews but since my heart is racing from the 'decafe' coffee that is quite clearly 'regular' I feel compelled too. After ordering I heard the barista saying you don't like to carry decafe. That's fine but please don't serve regular coffee as some sort of statement against decafe drinkers. If this was my first bad experience here I would probably let it go, but I now have had a few too many unfortunate customer service experiences and will sadly not go back. The coffee is good but the attitude waters it down.
****I'm changing my original rating from 2 stars to 4. I really appreciate the owner responding quickly with very detailed information about their processes and reaching out to make amends. I of course was irritated with recieving a caffinated beverage but after recieving a geniune response from the owner I feel it necessary to change my original rating. This is obviously a well meaning unique coffee spot, please check them out.

Right next door to Batch Bakehouse, you can take your goodies over and enjoy them with a nice cup of coffee. Cafe Domestique has a laid back vibe and the kind of crowd you would expect on Willy Street. Their coffee is pretty good and their baristas know how to pull a good shot.

Mmm, I love the lattes here, especially the lavender with almond milk

They've always got good coffee and espresso. Staff is friendly and it's a great place to hangout. One of the best cafes in Madison.

Great little place outside of downtown! They had decaf espresso and did a custom Chia latte drink for one of the non-coffee drinkers in my party that was "precisly spiced". And the little dino in the table plants were funny!

Poor experience- I don’t have a need to go back! I stood in front of the counter for more than 5 minutes waiting to be acknowledged by either of the employees before I gave up and left. There are too many good coffee places around to give this place and their bad attitude a second chance.

Their coffee is the best. It is rare to find this quality of coffee anywhere. I am talking about a third generation coffee shop. This is not a Starbucks! Highly recommended!

Bright and with tasteful bike-themed decor. Coffee from Intelligentsia and baked goods from Batch Bakehouse next door. The cafe is also connected to the cargo bike shop in the same building.

Overpriced for the quality. The staff weren't very helpful, and were irritated when I asked if I could move a chair so my friend in a wheelchair could fit at the table. I cant account for all members of the staff though, and it was clean with a nice atmosphere.

My favorite place for coffee in Madison! I am a global traveller and this is top notch coffee on par with what you would expect from the best around the world.
