Excellent small coffee shop located in Grand Central serving local madison roasts from Wonderstate and baked goods from Madison Sourdough. Very fond of their monthly drink specials, highly recommended trying them yourself.
Great little shop! Fast paced style, grab and go. However, they source Kickapoo Coffee, steam milk perfectly, making great drinks. The pastries did not look artisan/local/fresh made. Very warm service from people working here.
Had an awesome experience today. The barista was extremely knowledgeable about the coffee and flavor shots and made my friend the most beautiful mocha I’ve ever seen. The pastries there are from Madison Sourdough and are top notch. My favorite thing about Java Den is that they offer such a wide variety of flavor shots. It makes it easy and inexpensive to get a fun drink on your way to work! Will definitely be back again.
This little shop is located in the main lobby of Grand Central, an apartment complex in the heart of UW-Madison's campus. This place is pleasantly surprising. I went in to grab a quick coffee on the way to class and left happy with an exceptional batch brew from arguably one of the top roasters in the nation, Kickapoo Coffee. This place has the bells and whistles of a genuine coffee shop. The wait can be long and there is little wait space, but it is great coffee coming from this shop.
Undisputably one of the best coffee shops in Madison! The staff are super kind and understanding; one day I came in and I didn't know they only accepted MasterCard and Visa for credit cards, and I didn't think I had any cash on me. One of the lovely ladies there offered to queue it up for me and I could give her the money next time I came in! (Which is every other day).
Not only that, but my coffee is made perfect every time. I don't know how they do it. My usual is the white mocha, it's the only place I take that order now! On top of that, it's in a convenient spot on the UW campus so I can run right to class after I've ordered my much-needed hot bean drink.
Decent coffee in the area. They serve Kickapoo coffee. Mostly good, but a little inconsistent in quality of the brew depending on the Baristas. However, I can't think of any other place for better coffee in the area unless you walk more than 5-7 minutes further.
