An iced cold brew coffee is a perfect pick-me-up for making the rounds at the Farmers Market . Try it black before adding cream and sugar. It’s delicious just the way it comes.
Awesome coffee , and great place to grab a breakfast/lunch sandwich ... Just don't expect to stick around: it gets crowded !
This place is awesome! It's open to the outside, one barrel is on tap, and they don't have just "coffee shop food"-- real, quality food! Need I say more?
So excited Alterra's in Madison now! Best place to study, catch up with friends, relax and truly enjoy the best coffee EVER! Love :-)
Great in the spring/summer when they open up the front wall onto the square enjoy it with a great iced espresso brew in hand.
A really interesting idea. A lot of Latin American influence, and really cozy . There are lots of souvenirs (bottles, shirts , coffee bags...).
Came for the coffee . Stayed for the ambience. Great people! #CoffeeLoversVIP #☕️ #❤️
Great place for breakfast and good coffee . Nice venue and fast wifi
Indoor seating can be really awkward, but I LOVE their chai lattes , so it's worth it. Muffins and breakfast dishes are really good too.
Great vibes, good drinks. The Windy Ci-Tea (black tea , earl gray, lavender syrup with oat milk ) was great ????????
Great local chain and prime location on Capitol Square. Very exciting when they added Pour overs to the menu!
The Bavarian pretzels are the best pretzels I've had and you can't go wrong with any of their coffee options .
Excellent coffee and great location. Grab a seat outside if you're lucky enough to find one.
I love that they play the "So long, farewell song" when they close..it almost makes up for the fact that they close at 9!
A good selection of single origin coffee in cute cups
Spend the extra money and order a pour-over coffee from the brew bar . You won't regret it!
Very very busy, like hard to get a table-busy between 8 and noon most days. Good coffee and location is ace, of course.
Great food, productive and friendly environment and decent coffee , check it out.
Free wi-fi & plenty of outlets! ... Only problem: it's too popular, and therefore hard to find a seat sometimes.
Their Breakfast Burritos are amazing.
Just as good as in Milwaukee. Great location and the staff is just as knowledgeable .
Prime outdoor seating for Concerts on the Square!! :D
Chorizo burrito is great for breakfast....one of my favorites!
Wisco . Cheese sandwich is amazing on a blustery day. Smokey, cheesy, and delicious!
Formerly Alterra. Very unique space. Great food and coffee !
This coffee shop 's favorite band is The National
They do pour over coffee . Patio and indoor open air seating area.
Caffeine high when you walk in...Yum! Outer windows open in good weather - so smart!
One of my favorite coffee shops in Madison! The beers are great!
Macaroons are delicious
They discourage ice tea drinkers. They don't provide free or discounted refills, but they do for coffee . #unequal
Love their brownies but Johnson Public house still makes the best cappuccino in town !
Fka "Alterra". Same people, product and ownership. Different name.
The oatmeal here is insane. Its like a breakfast bread pudding . Just do it.
Great iced coffee and ask for almond milk
Great for studying, blogging, being productive. Oh and great coffee , duh!
The fact that the WiFi drops and requires you to agree to the terms of service every hour is downright hostile.
Stock up on coffee here, there's probably not much good coffee elsewhere if you are going out of Madison or Milwaukee.
Their iced coffee is so good it doesn't even need sugar! ????
Best environment for coffee dates in Madison
If you have a job interview near the square, this is apparently the place to go.
I've been recommending the Cortado to people that want to try something different.
They got beer . Love their Cranberry pumpkin muffin . Taste like fall even if it's Spring.
Pour over bar is well setup; however, frustrating Wi-Fi rules.
Try their egg sandwich ????????
Wisco cheese sandwich is super good ????
Double points on Tuesdays if you have an Alterra card!
Portions are small but coffee is delicious !
Best coffee ...and its fair trade !
The wi-fi is pretty fast for a coffee shop .
Awesome flavored coffee drinks, relaxed vibe and great location, check it out. - Adam Thorson
Avocado wrap is delish! Good coffee, cool interior and cute mugs! - Katie Fleming
Ask for a White Mocha. It's not listed on the menu, but it's among my favorites in Madison. - Lindsay Bednar
Beautiful architecture and a great place for history buffs! Right in the centre of the city, and access to UW, lots of shops and places to eat. - Markus Tarjamo
I look forward to this each year. Every thing is fresh and delicious. I recommend trying the homemade doughnuts and cheesey bread - jena sebald
Yummy appetizers, like cheese curds and deviled eggs. Desserts are also wonderful. - Ally M
