Fair Trade Coffee House

Welcome to Fair Trade Coffee House My ears filled with the low hum of chatty friends catching up accompanied by the silences of studious students in their books. The seasonal selection is an accurate portrayal of downtowns vibrant flavors. I was greeted with a lovely "sweetheart what can I get you?" I proceeded to ask if any drinks could be blended and this trip I switched up my usual order in which they happily modified the Turkish latte for a delicious spicy to

I'm a pretty big fan of their coffee drinks, and they have outlets at all of their booths to charge your devices when working which is handy. Their baked goods are not homemade, so I'd skip these. Haven't tried their other food items. Not the coziest or most aesthetic cafe in Madison, but it gets the job done!

Came across this spot while passing time before catching our flight back home after attending a conference at Epic. Very nice little spot, but I do wish it had a little more seating. Everyone was super pleasant and quick. It definitely felt like a college kid spot, so I felt a little bit old, but otherwise it was very nice.I got a honey bee latte (with honey and lavender) which was super nice, and the mini carrots were moist and tasty. I didn't have the opportunity to try much more but I will definitely need to come back when I am in town again.

This place is great when it's not super busy. The only reason I'm taking off one star is because it can get unbearably loud when packed with undergrad students. Otherwise, it's warm and cozy with a large menu. I love the booths they have along the side wall -- perfect for getting work done since it appears that each booth has a spot to charge your devices. When it's busy, make sure to wear headphones if you're trying to concentrate. I got an iced chai latte with almond milk and a coffee cake muffin. Both were delicious. The sprinkle of cinnamon on the beverage was a nice touch and I appreciate that the barista offered to warm up the muffin for me. Altogether, the staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the food and drink was yummy.

I stopped by on a Friday evening for a coffee. Not a time when people think of coffee. Not so surprisingly there were not that many customers. I went for a seasonal drink - chocolate milano latte. It was a good coffee. Cappuccino walnut scone was a good snack. The place had a good number of seat. You can work there while enjoying the coffee. Ambiance of the place was good.

Bustling little coffee shop. Walk up, order at the counter. Small coffee $2.60, large $2.85. Paper cup. Various premade sandwiches and pastries under glass. Tap to pay available. Fairly clean establishment.

Good food choices, Mom and Pop type business, good coffee and atmosphere to relax, use your laptop.The only issue I have is that they should add more charging ports and outlets because if it is busy, good luck finding an electrical outlet. Unlike in my generation, you need a battery, and a cord to function nowadays. LOL.

Despite the rave reviews on Yelp regarding the croissant breakfast sandwich, I thought it was bland (the inside, not the croissant itself). Still my favorite coffee place downtown though.

This coffee shop is a great study spot! The music is quiet and good for students who want to focus with just a little bit of background noise. Additionally, it has a solid food menu, which sets it apart from options like Starbuck. I got a black bean burger and an ice caramel latte, and both were tasty. On that note, this is a good spot for people looking for vegetarian or vegan options.My biggest critique is that their coffee tends to be generic. They focus on garish flavors. That's fine if you want a Turtle Latte, but if your looking for an Italian macchiato, look elsewhere.

Just meh.I've been here twice (about a year apart).On my last visit I got a flat white which, as you know is a coffee drink. So good news - for the price, a big flat white. Bad news: there was so much milk in the drink, I could not taste the coffee.
