Cargo Coffee

Great coffee/food at a great price. Plenty of seating with a loft area. Small selection of beer too! Ambience and service ALSO they host music/poetry here all the time

I have been a customer of both cargo coffee locations in Madison for many years. Absolutely LOVE their food and the ambiance in their restaurants. That said, I have now had multiple instances of waitstaff being impatient, unfriendly and down right rude at the East Washington cafe. In one instance I was going through the drive thru and asked a clarifying question about the menu. Instead of just answering my question, the server yelled at me in a harsh tone and rolled her eyes, as though I was a moron and somehow bothering her. I might have understood the impatience on some level, had it been busy, but this was not during the morning rush, and there was absolutely no reason to be so rude. And then today, I stopped by to eat lunch, and a different staff person at the walkup counter, was grumpy ,passive aggressive and acted like I was wasting her time by placing my order- and when my latte came up at the counter, I asked the same wait staff (who was not waiting on anyone at the time) a question to verify that the latte was mine and rather than just look at it and say yes, she came over to the drink, abruptly pulled down the sleeve that was covering my initial, and shoved it at me. This sort of behavior by waitstaff is really unfortunate, because it makes people not want to come back. I used to really love going there. For now I will only go to the Park Street location, I guesshopefully they will continue to give the pleasant, friendly, helpful service they are known forotherwise, I will be moving on to other cafes.

The croissant breakfast sandwich was very good. Would come back to try more things. They also have a drive through which is convenient.
