Poindexter Cafe
601 Langdon St, Madison, WI
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a hotel lobby, Poindexter feels like a secret gem where you can settle in without the usual café bustle, making it perfect for a leisurely sit or getting work done. Their lavender cappuccino is legendary among regulars, and the locally-sourced pastries pair beautifully with thoughtfully crafted drinks in a space that's both well-decorated and genuinely cozy. The team here clearly takes pride in what they do—from the creative signature drinks to the warm, attentive service that makes you want to return.”

I cannot get over how yummy the lavender cappuccino is! Must have it next time I'm in Madison!
A small cozy cafe tucked into the lobby of a hotel. Good drinks and atmosphere.
Loved this place! It’s part off the lobby of the hotel ! It’s very accesible and you barely feel the transit of the people. Very cozy! The menu is simple and what I eat was good! It has space to work, read or chat!
A new favorite! The interior is well-decorated, fun and cozy, the pastries are amazing (and local), the coffee is great and the staff is really friendly. I had an order that got made incorrectly, but as soon as the manager realized it he re-made our drinks immediately, gave us coupons for a free coffee and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the new coffees.
I love Portage Pie because they make their own sweet and savory pies in small batches. The crust is flaky and they serve them heated up so they are perfect on a chilly day. Note the dressing they serve on the sides like horse-radish, ranch and pesto - those really add for me. The coffee is good and the ambiance is near perfect with the outdoor seating. Get the seasonal pies you can't go wrong!
