Pink Flamingo
638 State St, Madison, WI
Crema's Take
“Pink Flamingo is a sun-soaked State Street gem that turns brunch into an event, with creative dishes like Chilaquiles with birria and a Madison Benny featuring local ham that justify the weekend wait (they'll text you your place in line). Their extensive coffee and drink menu spans traditional espresso drinks to inventive specialty creations, plus thoughtful non-caffeinated options that feel just as considered, and the team's genuine hospitality—from the chef stopping by your table to gracefully handling mishaps—makes this cozy, family-friendly spot feel less like a trendy new cafe and more like a neighborhood institution already.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Great new cafe on State Street. Food was excellent. Creative dishes nicely presented. And an extensive drink and coffee menu. Lots on NA and no caffeine options. Vegan and GF friendly. Had a Strawberry Matcha Latte that was amazing. Also we had Chiva which is a coffee latte…
The food really was excellent (we both got the Chilaquiles with birria) but what really stood out was the customer service. I accidentally knocked over my hot chocolate drink and got it all over myself and the floor. Jaime (I really hope I’m not butchering his name) was…
I was so happy to discover this new place! It used to be Sunroom Cafe, an iconic, busy, sunny little place above State Street, and then got sold during Covid and went downhill. Pink Flamingo has now been here for a couple months and my husband and I went today. I didn’t know…
