    Just picked up 4 coffees and the staff was so upbeat and efficient. It's Saturday! Love this place, I will be back. The coffee is great too.

    This place is a total surprise once you walk inside! Really neat decor that focuses on travel and airplains. Surprisingly more seating than I thought it would have too!

    We asked if we could use their own mugs, and they were totally chill with it. I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk and a medium roast coffee with two refills and it was less than 10 bucks which was a pleasant surprise to me. The baristas(does that term apply to all coffee places?) were all super friendly.

    And they have wifi!

    They also have an assortment of breakfast pastries and other options as well as menus for food if you get hungry.

    The only thing I'd like would be more tables for two people to sit at. We ended up sitting at a high top table but the surface and space felt a bit cramped but that's just me being picky. Overall, I'm so glad I stopped in!

    Ambience definitely earns this place 5 stars, and all of the artwork and decorations revolving around travel and adventure really give you a sense of wanderlust. The wall art here is comparable to the other Cargo Coffee location on East Wash, but this location is a lot smaller and less industrial feeling.

    If you're looking to do work here, there are a handful of tables, but this place isn't great for groups larger than 4.

    I had a soy chai latte, which was just lukewarm, so I asked to get it reheated. I would give my drink only maybe three and a half stars. The staff was really nice about it and apologetic.

    I'll be back to try some of their coffee, they roast the coffee in house and it smells great here!

    Coffee and a smile

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Madison and also the most protected (always police officers here enjoying coffee as well).  The staff is always friendly and remembers you.  They have a small food menu for breakfast and lunch that is also good, including bakery items.

    This location of Cargo is bright, airy, and much bigger than I thought from years of driving past it on Park. There's a drive-thru for convenience  and a good amount of parking. There's some outdoor seating and plenty more inside. I loved how I felt like I was in a warmer locale with the whites, blues, maps, burlap sacks, plants, and tucked away rooms. I had a quick meeting here and got an herbal tea iced to go. The baristas were really friendly and helped me pick a tea/educated me on how to pronounce maracuja. The maracuja orange tea was a gorgeous color and had a unique orange flavor with floral notes. Definitely worth a try if you want to mix up your summer beverage routine!
