Badger Central Bookstore & Cafe

Crema's Take

Badger Central pairs a beloved indie bookstore with a casual cafe where the staff genuinely engages with regulars and newcomers alike, making it feel like a natural gathering spot rather than a transactional stop. Their homemade pastries and cookies are worth the visit on their own, and while their coffee leans toward approachable traditional drinks like caramel lattes, the real draw is settling in with a book and feeling welcomed by a community-minded team.

Coca Cola isn't an option from the fountain. It's a Dr Pepper / Pepsi fountain. They do have some can drinks that are decent but usually low if in stock at all. The cookies are so good and reasonably priced. They are soft and chewy. Delicious! I usually get hot water and make a drink. It's very hot. Be safe! Go Badgers!! Staff is fantastic! Red haired girl knows my order and helps me almost daily with a smile. The big guy is always friendly and helpful. Great ppl!

If I could give a zero I would . Overrall rude people , and the girl in the red hair was so racist for no reason at the cafe , I’ve never seen someone who’s so ignorant in my life , like what I’ve done things like this all the time , and you decide to say something bc I’m not a white person , just overall racism , and it needs to be examined. My experience there has left me some trauma , and I will never be coming back to the cafe or spending any money there . Just RUDE AND RACISM in that cafe employee staff .

Badger Center Bookstore and Cafe offers a top-notch customer service experience. 😃 This was my first visit. I enjoyed my ice carmel latte. The staff was friendly and conversational. There's plenty of seating and light. It's a pleasant environment. Plus, there's merch.

The cashier was very nice and helpful. She answered my question in a very professional manner. The lady who helped me find my textbooks was also nice. We had a good chat; and I was very pleased with her professionalism as well.
