This place used to be AWESOME...and their coffee is the best in town. However, today when I stopped in at 1/4 to 5----the barrista looked at me like he couldnt be asked. Not too pleased with the customer service...it used to be about love. But not anymore....they keep changing their hours. 3/5 times Ive gone to EVP during the posted hours online and theyve been closed. They used to be way more consistent...and the barristas were kind. Now it seems like everyone has attitude....the beans are really good though. Theyre the only place in town that doesnt burn their beans

This coffee chain isnt so bad. If you enjoy a liberal 60s atmosphere, this is the place to go. If youre a techie and enjoy high-speed internet, the download speeds are *just* fast enough for it to be tolerable (Connection speeds to Chicago: .32 mbps download speed, .59mbps upload speed). You cant fault for the coffee shop for this, unless of course, you want to pay more for your coffee. There could be more variety in their coffee syrups, but if youre like Dennis Leary and just want "coffee flavored coffee", then it shouldnt matter.

Just around the coffee - great friendly and knowledgeable baristas who know how to make coffee. They have long term employees so it is nice to see the familiar faces. Depending on the time of day the ambiance is anything between mellow and overly-packed. They roast on site the best ones IMHO are "Camp Fire" and "Bali" but you can only get Bali a few weeks out of the year. The afternoon soup and house made bakery is surprisingly good, old school Madison vibe.

Literally the only place I ever get coffee in Madison, both beans & brewed. If you like strong coffee theres nowhere Ive been in the world that compares, so now whenever I go out on the road I stock up on beans! For me the lighter the roast the better, so with that in mind I highly recommend the Tanzanian Peaberry or any of the Ethiopia roasts. 5 stars!

Best coffee on the near east side. The high quality at EVP comes naturally and not with the ultra hip atmosphere many shops go for these days. Nice art on the walls, plenty of characters come through all the time, good for reading, studying, chatting, debating. Dogs welcome!

Absolutely fantastic coffee. Ive tried a couple of other local places and this one beats em all so far. Ive never had to wait more than a couple of minutes, although Ive never been when its ultra busy. I highly recommend the "Thor". Iced chai also delicious.

Local coffeeshop atmosphere. coffee is pre-brewed and kept in carafes by the counter. I had a double shot 12oz Americano, which was light in comparison to most Americanos. Service was fast, would recommend adding shots for a stronger cup.

The ONLY place I will purchase coffee from in Madison. Seriously. Once you have had the best, you wont want the rest! Im not kidding! Really great folks working there from the neighborhood. Try their cinnamon rolls... Mmmmm.

Go here on a Saturday morning and have nick make you a latte. Industrial feel shop and nice freshly roasted drip coffee! They tend to over roast their dark roasts but their Africa origins are always good.

Hands down, absolutely the BEST coffee shop with the BEST coffee in town and they roast the best beans right here in Madison. I cannot get enough of it, everyday i get coffee here is a good day!

Cute little coffee shop with a fairly good variety, although not as much to choose from compared to some other places. The coffee I had was delightful though and I would come back again

Decent place to grab a cup of coffee. The espresso beverages are okay and the tea selection is vast. Theres a variety of pastries available every day and a soup of the day for lunch.

Coffee is good, and for the most part they have awesome service. However they have the worst internet connection in all the coffee shops in Madison! Too bad its one of my favs

Best espresso outside of the capitols surrounding area and just convenient enough for folks on the north-east to get to. I wish they were open later, though.

Friendly and helpful batista Jen. Great bottomless cup to try all the drip coffees. Someones post about the hoMeyer 60s feel in an industrial style is noted.

Ashlie Crooks

Great coffee, friendly service. Favorite bottomless coffee in town. Great danish that are usually gone by the time I roll out of bed.
