Microcosm Cafe
1550 Linden Dr, Madison, WI
Crema's Take
“Microcosm Cafe shines as a spacious, atmospheric spot in Madison where you can actually find a quiet corner to settle in, even if the coffee itself tracks with other local roasters. The real draw is the thoughtfully curated art-filled space that elevates it beyond your typical campus market cafe, making it ideal for both lingering over work and quick coffee runs, though you'll want to stick with their traditional drinks rather than risking the smoothies.”

Good service, overpriced but tasty food in smaller then ideal portions and no atmosphere
Love the space, spacious and you can usually find a quiet spot. Coffee is similar to other Union/Badger Markets, but I place it above others in atmosphere.
Usually fine for how convenient it is, but get a smoothie at your own risk. Whether it was because of a busted blender or misreading of ingredients, the mango kale was like eating bits of grass mixed with clumps of questionable consistency.
Jane's is a funky little cafe & bakery. Surrounded by art from local artists. Open only till 3 in the after noon it's mostly breakfast and lunch. Counter served multi-cuisine fare that's fresh and family friendly. Their signature scones and pasteries are to die for with flavors you won't see anywhere else. Also great for Vegans and Vegetarians.
The cafe is just a standard Badger Market. It offers premade stuff, standard goods like gum, drinks, and chips. You can have them make you something like a sandwich fresh but if you are low on time only decent source of food within a few minutes
