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.

Angela W.

Awesome coffee , and great place to grab a breakfast/lunch sandwich ... Just don't expect to stick around: it gets crowded !

Olivia DiNucci

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?

Tyler W

So excited Alterra's in Madison now! Best place to study, catch up with friends, relax and truly enjoy the best coffee EVER! Love :-)

Corey Jacob

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.

Alex Cardoso

A really interesting idea. A lot of Latin American influence, and really cozy . There are lots of souvenirs (bottles, shirts , coffee bags...).

Alberto C. Downing

Came for the coffee . Stayed for the ambience. Great people! #CoffeeLoversVIP #☕️ #❤️

Peter den Hartog

Great place for breakfast and good coffee . Nice venue and fast wifi

ᴡ Luther

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.

JH H-D

Great vibes, good drinks. The Windy Ci-Tea (black tea , earl gray, lavender syrup with oat milk ) was great ????????

Ben Luginbill

Great local chain and prime location on Capitol Square. Very exciting when they added Pour overs to the menu!

Alexander Olcott

The Bavarian pretzels are the best pretzels I've had and you can't go wrong with any of their coffee options .

Charles Koch

Excellent coffee and great location. Grab a seat outside if you're lucky enough to find one.

Olivia DiNucci

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!

Amy Robertson

A good selection of single origin coffee in cute cups

Keith Cavey

Spend the extra money and order a pour-over coffee from the brew bar . You won't regret it!

Rob Sanheim

Very very busy, like hard to get a table-busy between 8 and noon most days. Good coffee and location is ace, of course.

Adam Thorson

Great food, productive and friendly environment and decent coffee , check it out.

Angela W.

Free wi-fi & plenty of outlets! ... Only problem: it's too popular, and therefore hard to find a seat sometimes.

Brad Leege

Their Breakfast Burritos are amazing.

Steve Frame

Just as good as in Milwaukee. Great location and the staff is just as knowledgeable .

Andy Carrillo

Prime outdoor seating for Concerts on the Square!! :D

Paul Grimyser

Chorizo burrito is great for breakfast....one of my favorites!

Lynn Singletary

Wisco . Cheese sandwich is amazing on a blustery day. Smokey, cheesy, and delicious!

Aubre

Formerly Alterra. Very unique space. Great food and coffee !

Wesley Verhoeve

This coffee shop 's favorite band is The National

Benjamin Szweda

They do pour over coffee . Patio and indoor open air seating area.

Julie

Caffeine high when you walk in...Yum! Outer windows open in good weather - so smart!

Ryan Berns

One of my favorite coffee shops in Madison! The beers are great!

Chris

Macaroons are delicious

Blackfeather Tanfur

They discourage ice tea drinkers. They don't provide free or discounted refills, but they do for coffee . #unequal

Mary Moring

Love their brownies but Johnson Public house still makes the best cappuccino in town !

Daniel Wilson

Fka "Alterra". Same people, product and ownership. Different name.

Daniel Wilson

The oatmeal here is insane. Its like a breakfast bread pudding . Just do it.

Fallon Campbell

Great iced coffee and ask for almond milk

Talita Táiti

Great for studying, blogging, being productive. Oh and great coffee , duh!

Lyle Hanson

The fact that the WiFi drops and requires you to agree to the terms of service every hour is downright hostile.

Blaze Jayne

Stock up on coffee here, there's probably not much good coffee elsewhere if you are going out of Madison or Milwaukee.

Kate

Their iced coffee is so good it doesn't even need sugar! ????

Sam Lynn

Best environment for coffee dates in Madison

Nate Muchow

If you have a job interview near the square, this is apparently the place to go.

Matt Gauger

I've been recommending the Cortado to people that want to try something different.

Ariel Welch

They got beer . Love their Cranberry pumpkin muffin . Taste like fall even if it's Spring.

Lisa Hinchliffe

Pour over bar is well setup; however, frustrating Wi-Fi rules.

Hanoofa queen

Try their egg sandwich ????????

Nicole Peaslee

Wisco cheese sandwich is super good ????

Paul Grimyser

Double points on Tuesdays if you have an Alterra card!

Andrea Perkins

Portions are small but coffee is delicious !

Tommy

Best coffee ...and its fair trade !

Mark Olschesky

The wi-fi is pretty fast for a coffee shop .
