The Victory Madison

I went in after reading the rave reviews. I asked what they use for pour over and the barista didn’t know, then another told me they use their espresso blend. The pour over was very mediocre. I didn’t even finish it, which is rare. My fiancé got the brewed coffee which was alright. It was super warm inside, and pretty cramped.

Delicious coffee in a great space. Patrick is super nice. Will visit again!

Changed my rating to 5 stars. Excellent service by the owner. Delicious breakfast options, great coffee and vibe.

Alright so I feel bad roasting a small local business but man my mocha was aggressively bad, made with powdered cocoa and the darkest bitterest sour over extracted espresso pulled out of a machine that looks like it's been through the war and is regularly whipped. Coffee was spraying everywhere! There is another reviewer that mentions some questionable cleanliness and food safety practices. I watched my barista pour milk back into the jug after over pouring for my 12 oz drink. The whole place needs someone to invest some time, love and cash into it to bring it up standard. I'd probably go to a Starbucks before here and I really hate Starbuck s coffee.

This is a hidden gem in this city. Little coffee shop that feels like it was plucked out of a big city and sweetly tucked into a friendly neighborhood. Patrick and his staff are friendly, wholesome, and down to earth. If you're a fan of being a regular at a coffee shop where they remember you, look no further!

Employee was super attentive and caring and the hot paninis we got to go were tasty. We just wish the countertops and employee's hands were cleaner, hence the 4/5. We're sympathetic because only one person was working and there was a bit of a rush an hour before closing, but we didn't see the employee wash hands between orders, they weren't wearing gloves, and the prep station hadn't been wiped down well.

We were visiting Madison and decided to check this place out. We liked the atmosphere of the place but the cleanliness was lacking. Watched the cashier handle cash and then directly make our sandwich without gloves or any kind of sanitation. When checking us out I could see some kind of dirt or coffee grounds stuck around their nails too... I also saw them drop one of the tea bags on the floor before in the order ahead of us. Everyone was friendly but during COVID I don’t know if I feel comfortable eating here. Also Watched him throw in napkins to someone else’s order he obviously knew but not others.

Lovely first impression while visiting Madison. Beautifully decorated, delicious & filling egg pesto sandwich, good coffee, good apple pastry, and good service. And covid safe! We definitely returned during our trip to eat breakfast here a second time.

A great local spot to get a nice cup of coffee and a small breakfast. Get there early because everyone in Madison swarms in to grab a waffle.

They're thin and crispy, just the way I like them. The owner is very personable with his customers, and he treats his staff with respect. It's nice to observe someone who cares so much about their business.

this a great place-excellent coffee & really nice people. if you love starbucks, this place is probably not for you which makes me glad b/c i could do w/ a safe space rid of entitled jerks.
