Lakeside St. Coffee House

My top 3 most favourite spots in Madison. This is the most complete coffee shop - great coffee, really good food, service and location. I've always had a solid experience here and their staff is really friendly and professional.

Their breakfast and other food is also good, plenty of options. Definitely recommended, especially for spending a good amount of time!

Charming Cafe located right on the lakefront with a small walking path straight down to the beach. Ample selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, paired with a fantastic selection of craft coffee and syrups. Worth stopping by purely to enjoy the outdoor seating just slightly removed from downtown Madison.

Feels like someone took the coziest, warmest cabin in Northern Wisconsin and moved it to a great location on the shore of Monona Bay.

Great coffee and great vibes. The location is pretty nice along the lake, and the backroom has a nice view.

Nice outdoor seating. Quiet location. On bike route.

This is a fabulous coffeehouse. It's huge with the front having a bar with beer and wine and lots of table and chairs. Then, in the back is a room that has local art hanging on the wall, more seating options, the cafe with coffee, tea, and food menus. Off this room, there are to areas of outside seating with shade and great views. The drinks and food are tasty. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. I really enjoyed my time here this morning as I worked on my art and read a little too.

Awesome place, good coffee. Plant mom vibes. Zoey at the front was super helpful and nice.

Cute and cozy atmosphere! A hidden gem I didn’t know existed my 5 years living in Madison. The coffee was great, and the refillable cup was a great value!

Wow, this coffee shop really surprises in the best way! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a stellar spot. The decor and vibe are on point, the staff is incredible (and helpful and knowledgeable and amazing), and the coffee is delicious. I'd say, "What more could you ask for?," but this place *has* more: a lakeside location with a view of the capitol building and downtown Madison area. Stunning. Price is right, too.

I'll definitely be back!

I had the mocha today and it was outstanding. Previously I have ahead the chai and is not my personal favorite, I but could tell it was homemade at least.
