EVP Coffee East

Very, very good coffee, service, and prices. One of the best coffee shops ever!

Best coffee on the near east side. The high quality at EVP comes naturally and not with the ultra hip atmosphere many shops go for these days. Nice art on the walls, plenty of characters come through all the time, good for reading, studying, chatting, debating. Dogs welcome!

This place was great. It was super quiet when I was there though so that was mildly uncomfortable. The prices were way lower than Starbucks and they had a dairy free milk option for me which was really great. Staff was friendly and our interaction was brief which was honestly pretty ideal

Met my wife there 10 years ago.

Coffee is great. Staff is always helpful and quick. They sell their beans too. Love the Ethiopian Sunshine.

The ONLY place I will purchase coffee from in Madison. Seriously. Once you have had the best, you won't want the rest! I'm not kidding! Really great folks working there from the neighborhood. Try their cinnamon rolls... Mmmmm.

If you like coffee and you havent been to EVP, then you haven't liked coffee for long or been to Madison for long so just go ahead and change that ok? Don't take it personally. I'm just trying to say they're doing it right. Now let me be specific. First, they got that 1997, "friends" vibe going on, with leather couches from about that time, and I suspect before friends was a cool thing. So theyre like pre Starbucks basically. And they roast the beans right back there. Super friendly vibe, but old style. Like, "hey how ya doing Barb, is your dog liking the new kibble?" Like, pre-friends aged people being friendly.

Go here on a Saturday morning and have nick make you a latte. Industrial feel shop and nice freshly roasted drip coffee! They tend to over roast their dark roasts but their Africa origins are always good.

Always great coffee and super chill environment for reading, studying, talking with friends, etc.
Love the free refills and they always have a couple of different blends to try.
Love that they have a punch card as well.

Amazing coffee, roasted on site! Excellent, friendly baristas and lots of local flavor. Evp has been a Madison coffeehouse staple for almost 20 years.
