Java Den

20 minutes for an iced latte

Brewing Wonderstate coffee and offering Madison Sourdough pastries and viennoiseries for less, this is a great on-campus spot for a quick breakfast or afternoon refuel.

Excellent small coffee shop located in Grand Central serving local madison roasts from Wonderstate and baked goods from Madison Sourdough. Very fond of their monthly drink specials, highly recommended trying them yourself.

This place historically has had a pattern of rudeness to Asian and Asian American customers. Many of the staff were kind and helpful, but some were not. Those in management positions should have been sensitive and address this issue right away, rather than dismiss this issue. I think that all customers should be treated equally and with respect.

Java den is a surprisingly rare gem for coffee-drinkers on UW campus. They brew Wonderstate coffee, have a nice loose leaf tea selection, and source fresh pastries from Madison Sourdough. Typically very friendly baristas too, which makes it a pleasant part of my daily routine.

Delicious coffee & pastries!

Friendly and helpful service,
