Rotunda Cafe

Clean place with Great staff, amazing drinks and a great price

Not only are the chai lattes THE FOAMIEST and paul pel-meni’s dumplings being so great, but there are conference rooms and open space tables you can work from. This is going to be my go-to spot when I’m sick of my home office. It’s not just a bank anymore, it’s a great way to bring in the community

On street parking (free 2 hours, no meter) only. Unique, large dining area The Rotunda Cafe is an attractive rotunda in what was once the large Monona Bank building at Schenks Corner on Madison Eastside. Great ambiance, pleasant, soothing background music. Place order at counter, then weightstaff delivers food to table. Breakfast & lunch hours. Saturday menu included only one lunch item (generous serving of Russian dumplings of beef & potato ingredients), but during weekdays more expanded menu includes a breakfast menu and a lunch menu includes Russian Dumplings, sandwiches, with small dessert selection. $1 service fee for credit card use. All food items are modestly priced - a good value. Very pleasant and relaxing.

Great new space in Schenk-Atwood! I always loved the rotunda in the Monona Bank building and thought it was a shame that most people never saw it. They deftly converted the rotunda and a big section of the banking area into a beautiful coffee shop with plenty of seating, FREE meeting rooms you can reserve for conference calls or quiet work time, a standard coffee shop drinks menu made with locally roasted coffee, smoothies, and a great small menu of sandwiches and soup. The absolute best thing is that they also serve Paul's Pel'meni (Russian dumplings) which is going to be hell on my waistline now that they're available in my neighborhood. Staff is nice. They're still figuring things out a bit as they've only been open for a few weeks but overall the experience is terrific. Try the roast beef sandwich with horseradish sauce! Or the pel'meni if you've never had it. :)

I love this place! Not only are the food and drinks amazing, the employees are so very friendly. I had the dumplings for the first time today, and OMG! They are so yummy! I am so happy to have them in the neighborhood!

Great addition to the neighborhood! Very excellent atmosphere.

Beautiful space, consistently great Americanos, good selection of pastries, and the dumplings are delicious. I'm here almost every day. 😀

Located inside the Monona State Bank, there's plenty of ambient light, and the dumplings are amazing.

Excellent place to sit down and study, if you can get a spot at a table with a rolling chair.

Service is sad…waited without even a greeting while the counter guy talks business with some possible vendor.
