Crema's Take
“Eloura's inventive matcha drinks and creative specialty beverages feel designed for adventurous coffee drinkers who want to experiment beyond traditional espresso. The attached restaurant elevates the food experience with standouts like creamy housemade hummus and spiced kebab plates, while the staff—particularly the genuinely warm management—makes regulars feel like valued guests. It's a solid neighborhood spot if you're in downtown Madison looking for thoughtful drinks and food that go beyond cafe basics.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Good for meetings spot. Pastries on the menu.

Downtown Madison is not a happening place on a Sunday morning. There are homeless around, and I’m not a native so I’m sure if I should worry or not. We’ve been fine thus far. This is a stunningly beautiful space, free WiFi, ceremonial grade matcha, so well done! Only pastries…
