Editor’s Note

The IRONMAN Wisconsin triathlon returns to Madison tomorrow. The 140.6-mile race with swimming, biking, and running will go through local spots like Camp Randall Stadium. I’m not brave enough to participate, but I’m going to cheer on the participants.

Real Estate
Older Adults
  • Wanted: Local retirees to grocery shop with neighbors, tutor local students, help in community gardens, and more. Get the info on local activities.*

For richer or for pour over. Madison’s coffee shops are what keep us going in the morning. If you’re having trouble deciding on a spot, gather some brews clues with our guide to some of the best coffee shops in the 608.

Espresso yourself

Alice Good
This specialty coffee shop sells your favorite goodies from Bloom Bakery as well as single-origin, sweet, and fruit blend coffees.

Bradbury’s
The espresso is a must, but the crêpes are just as good. With limited seating, plan on getting there early or making this a grab + go stop.

Where to write your novel

Lakeside Street Coffee House
With ample space, you’ll be able to find a nook of your own to hunker down with your laptop from morning to afternoon. Celebrate with a beer on the patio when you finish your work.

Michaelangelo’s
A little bit of hustle and bustle paired with great food for brain fuel makes this a great place for those of us who have a hard time working in complete silence.
