Johnson Public House

Loved the tuna melt. The coffee was great. I’ll be back:)

Can’t get enough of this place. They have a wonderful team selection and make great recommendations if you are ready to add a tea to your list of go-to beverages. Atmosphere is wonderful, especially in warmer months when the extra outdoor seating is an option.

Got the avocado toast with an egg and sriracha Mayo! So so good.

Partner got peanut butter toast with honey and blackberries, also super yummy.

Great coffee made how it should be!! Cool vibe and tasty small plates. Def stop here.

The Johnson Public house is kind of like the anchor that developers talk about when they need one in an up-and-coming neighborhood. I am a bit of a coffee snob and so are they and sometimes two coffee snobs don't make a match. They prefer "bright" blends and single origins for "malty" flavor to my palette this means acidic coffee that tastes like the smell of straw. I also haven't found that a Bunsen burner and glass lab tubes enhance the taste of coffee, lot's of expensive ceremony. Other than my disagreement with their tastes the space is well laid out for meeting other people or working on a laptop.

Their coffee is great. I would go here more if they had sugar-free options for their lattes. Definitely the most hipster coffee shop that I've been to in Madison.

I love this place. I got great service today - coffee wasn't to my liking today for some reason and they swapped it out with an herbal tea. Pancakes were stellar - real maple syrup too.

Super yummy and great and great place to study but a tad pricey. I'd go more if I could afford to.

Best coffee in Madison, hands down. Coffee game on point. Don't mess around, ya hear? What you doin at those other places? If you want good coffee you need to come here immediately. Like right now. Like, if you're reading this at 2am (are you, why? Did you have too much bad coffee elsewhere and can't sleep because you thirst fr a tastier brew? I thought so) go there now and wait till they open. Don't mess around. This is serious business.

As an out-of-towner, I found the ordering a little stressful. The different blends and brewing options were alien to me. With little help from the menu, I ordered what the person in front of me ordered, but chose a different blends to hide my ignorance. When I finally got my coffee it was delicious. So at least it worked out in the end.
