Rotunda Cafe,

1965 Atwood Ave #5220, Madison, WI 53704, United States

"Quite the chill atmosphere. Very good energy. Excellent blend this elegant-hipster, positive vibe morning stop has become for me. Love the partnership shown between Chip and Mel. The rotunda provides an excellent experience for the audiophile, IMHO. Deuces."

"This is one of my favorite cafes to work in, with a great setup for sitting at nice big tables. Unfortunately I came to get pelmeni for lunch and they don’t serve them or any other hot food except for a chili option. The other options were snacks from the cooler, like cheese and nuts. The barista was very nice, but I was there over the lunch hour and there weren’t many customers- probably because there’s no good food. Huge bummer."

"Great place to do work, but unfortunately the change in ownership and lack of any real food (they have mostly packaged snacks) has changed its reputation. It no longer is a casual place to gather over breakfast or lunch meetings unless you just like the space but that's really just the bank."

"They don't really have food anymore, although they do have snacks, like nuts, chips and oatmeal. But if you're looking for a place to get some work done and you want a nice coffee drink or two while you do it, this is a great spot. They have big, wide tables, actually comfortable chairs for working, electrical outlets by the walls, clean, attractive rest rooms, smaller rooms off to the side that you can reserve (or, if nobody else has reserved, just hang out in if you need auditory privacy), and it's sunny and beautiful. It's a big enough space that if you need to bring in your own food or sandwich, it's not awkward--I've done that, and for now while they're not serving food, the barista was fine with it. I wish they were open a little later, and on Sundays! You can generally stay in the space after the coffee shop closes, until the bank area in the back closes--usually until 5."

"I had a really nice time here this morning. This was my first time inside after passing by here often. The two staff members at the bar were very kind and welcoming. I had a nice mocha and sandwich. The place was clean and beautiful on a sunny morning. Great seating, and there are community rooms and conference rooms available too. I’m really glad I stopped in and I’m excited to go back!"
