Cargo Coffee

Cargo is my favorite coffee spot in Madison. This is the OG location but they also have a newer location on East Wash.The coffee is always on point and they have an assortment of breakfast pastries and other food options too.The outside can look deceiving as it is a small, standalone coffee spot and most will use the drive through for convenience (fast service by the way). However, when you step inside you are immersed in some really neat decor that focuses on travel - think airplanes, suitcases that double as tables, big burlap bags of coffee and tons of world maps. It's super cool and cozy, a great spot to hang with friends or get some work done.

Really sweet girls working here. They already know what I like and charge me double! Just kidding. They're sweet and very professional. Everyone chill. Good place to get a coffee and stay out of the snow.

Muy delicioso. Great coffee!! Was in then for work visited all week If I even come back will be sure to come back.Great service and patient when I asked for 1/4 sweetLots of interesting maps and old tech to look at while we waited.Even if it only took 5 minutes to make us 4 lattes

Cargo coffee on park St. is by far the best and fastest drive through in Madison. The staff is friendly, quick and the food and drinks are delicious. Even though there is a Starbucks on my way to work, Cargo has been my go to because of the quality and consistency I get.Every. Single. Time. Standard coffee and specialty drinks are provided including non-milk alternatives and the best oat milk of any of the coffee shops in the area. A variety of baked goods including muffins, scones, cookies, vegan and dairy free options are available. Bakery items can vary from day to day, but my absolute favorite is the cow girl cookie. Hot breakfast of sandwiches, bagels and granola are available as well as lunch items including sandwiches and wraps. Try the chicken salad! Note: a punch card is available and after 10 drinks, the next one is free!

A creative space perfect for a day of work, Cargo offers great coffee and a nice atmosphere. I enjoyed their dark roast, black and it easily hit the spot. The blackberry scone wasn't the best. Scones should be a little dry, this one came out too moist, similar to a muffin. It also seemed to lack flavor.However, the service was excellent and put me in high spirits. Definitely willingly to come back and find something else on the menu to try while sipping on some fresh, delicious coffee.

I love that Cargo Coffee has socially distanced indoor seating during covid and also open until 5 pm! Since there is so much light from the windows and all the seating is so spread out, Cargo is a calm environment to study or work. The decor gives off a tropical and vacation-y vibe, it's so cool! The drinks are pretty good. The pumpkin spice steamer and the snickerdoodle latte were creamy and flavorful without being too sweet. The pastries are a little blah and there isn't much choice, so keep that in mind if you're out for a coffee shop pastry. Interestingly enough, the turkey club salad is more toppings than vegetables with an oil dressing. It was pretty good but with the amount of cheese and bacon they give you kind of made my stomach hurt. But the prices are reasonable compared to a lot of coffee shops in the area, so can't complain!The staff here isn't the best, at least recently. They are often joking around in the back and not really paying attention to whoever is waiting at the register. There is a glass in front of the cashier, which is wonderful for covid safety, but you have to really shout so they can hear you and they aren't the most patient with this issue. TLDR: I love coming to Cargo Coffee, but I mostly just come for the drinks and the experience.

Went here on a weekday morning to pick up some coffee and use a Bucky Book coupon on the way to work. Since we were on the way in, we went through the drive-thru and the first thing to note is that they don't display the menu until you get to the order window. Given the size of the location, this makes sense, but it feels like the line would move faster if you could see it in advance.It looks like they have different specials depending on the day. We ended up getting a roast of the day coffee with some vanilla and a eggnog chai latte, one of the specials. The roast of the day had a nice flavor, making me wish that I didn't add the vanilla to it. The eggnog chai latte was also pretty good and had a great fragrant sent that filled the car.Overall pretty good beverages. I really want to get back to try some of the baked goods, which looked/sounded quite good. I will say, this was one of the perks of the location being smaller in that we could still see the baked goods inside while waiting in the drive-thru line. We'll probably be back as a stop on our way into work in the future.

Amazing pastries, great quality espresso.Drive through option is very convenient and fast. Everyone I have met has been very friendly. Go here before you go to Starbucks!

Very unfriendly and even rude service! The server threw the plate with the croissant I ordered on the counter. Not put it but threw it. With a stony face. This is NOT the service I'm accustomed to in my city!

Should've brought my glasses, such an old dude, rookie mistake. Thought I'd drop across the street after shopping at Pick and Save, never been in. Can't see worth a damn without them and I asked for a cappuccino and, not able to see well, if they had any almond croissants. The coolest of coolest dudes said "yes. They're the croissants with almonds on them" and pointed to them in the case. $4.75, and another $4.25 for a 12 oz. cappuccino. I'm writing to Michelin - this is a serious 3-star joint. "Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey."
