Bandit - Tacos & Coffee
640 W Washington Ave, Madison, WI
Crema's Take
“This Madison spot blends coffee and tacos into a casual neighborhood hangout with genuinely pleasant outdoor seating that shines on sunny days. While the coffee leans traditional and the service is snappy, reviews suggest the real draw is the relaxed, personable vibe rather than exceptional food—the tacos lean creative and inventive rather than classic, so come with an open mind and reasonable expectations about portion sizes.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

Cute coffe shop and taco place that’s often forgotten. Might be much more personable in summer. Drafty and arid atmosphere in winter. Seating is not comfortable either. It is self service. Food is, at least the tocos we all had were really good. Fresh solid ingredients. Would go…
Update: Bandit’s tacos is awesome. Their tacos are tacos for hipsters - so if you’re looking for a classic taco, this ain’t the place for you. That said, I think their tacos are great! The only complaint we had was the short rib taco. We thought it’d be the best, but it was…
