Mother Fool's Coffeehouse

Best coffee shop in Madison. Give them your money and not corporate trash coffee. Vegetarian options: Vegan options galore.

Hip looking place with mix n match furniture and art on the walls, seems like it should be very popular in a place like Madison. But as soon as I walked in I got an overwhelming musty/moldy aroma that the owner/operator is likely accustomed to so they can't smell it. Then I ordered a double espresso and it really was mediocre compared to all the great coffee shops around town. Kinda thin and watery, with not much crema. Too bad because the location is great and the atmosphere is good, except for the smell.

Nice vibes, didn’t like any of the food or drinks. Too sweet or or too greasy.. you could definitely taste the substitutions to make it vegan.

Realized I hadn't been back since the incident involving a truck crashing into the side of the building a few years back. Still a Madison essential. Quiet Cafe environment featuring work by local artists. The menu is all vegan now (so oat or soy milk). Had to take away 1 star for environment because the backroom is no longer available to public and looks as though it is being used for storage. Vegetarian options: All vegan menu including oak or soy milk, pasties, dontuts, cookies, etc.

Stopped in today looking for some caffeine. Got a hot chai latte- it was so good! I didn’t realize they only took cash and PayPal until after the man started making my chai but he was nice about it and allowed me to make a PayPal account while I sipped on my drink. Nice, cute, artsy place to enjoy a beverage. I didn’t try any of the pastries but I did appreciate that they were covered so no bugs could crawl on them. The staff was so patient and friendly with me! Would return. Vegetarian options: The entire establishment is vegan! Dietary restrictions: Great vegan place!
