Barriques University
2505 University Ave, Madison, WI
Crema's Take
“Barriques University is an espresso-focused spot with a welcoming atmosphere that's particularly great for lingering with a laptop, though quality can be inconsistent—their signature creative drinks like the Mexican mocha with cayenne show real promise when executed well, but some specialty flavors fall flat. The gluten-free options and freshly made pastries are genuine highlights for those with dietary needs, though recent reviews suggest their food sourcing has become less locally-minded than it once was.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Laptop-friendly spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.
