Crema's Take

Cargo Coffee is a beautifully spacious aviation-themed spot in downtown Madison where you can grab a quality espresso drink or linger for hours across two thoughtfully designed levels. Their seasonal specialty drinks shine alongside a robust menu of flavor options, and the second floor offers a surprisingly secluded retreat perfect for reading, working, or catching a live music session. With ample seating, outlets, convenient parking, and genuinely attentive service, it's equally suited to a five-minute caffeine run or a long morning spent with your laptop.

Efficient and quality coffee shop in Madison. Uniquely decorated with plenty of seating. Great seasonal drinks and great food! Parking is across the street or in the building's garage if you turn down the street next to the building Cargo Coffee is in.

Great service and great location! Good coffee! Cargo coffee has great decor and seating and the second level provides a nice secluded place to read or enjoy your food and coffee. I have to say the line to order was super long and there was an altercation with a homeless person while we were there. Also since the ceiling is concrete the place has bad acoustics and it’s hard to hear with the ambient noise.

We were visiting from Colorado and picked this to grab a quick drink until we could check in our hotel. It was such a great space to hang for a little bit. I had a spicy Chai that was perfect. There happen to be a music jam happening and it was so nice to sit and listen. Love how much they support local live music. The staff was very friendly. Great space!

Really cool aviation themed coffee spot with plenty of space, seating, outlets, and a huge menu. I was there during a nice music jam session too which was nice. Located in the heart of Madison. Really great berry smoothie! Highly recommend!

Cute little cafe coffee shop on East Washington. Bigger than might meet the eye at first glance. Great variety of coffee flavor syrups and they had the milk and simple syrup out which I always appreciate. I also got a muffin and a sandwich which were both really great. Would go back for sure.
