Indie Coffee

One of the coziest cafes in Madison. My coffee here can be a bit inconsistent, but if they nail the amount of flavor in the latte then it's really delicious. Good sandwiches too! Outdoor patio is awesome in the warmer weather too.

Pictures from various visits to Indie. Baristas are always so friendly and fun to chat with. The shop is a bit small inside and usually packed, but if you're lucky enough to secure a spot it's a great working environment! The patio area out back is a cute place to hangout during the summertime. The works waffle is always an elite choice, melty chocolate chips on top of a warm waffle with crunchy walnuts baked into it. The strawberry and whip are literally the cherries on top! On the salty side of the menu I love the fancy grilled cheese bagel, it's rich and flavorful with the addition of goat cheese. The sun dried tomato bagel itself is also tasty! For the cheesy focaccia melt it has cream cheese, provolone, spinach, tomatoes and roasted red peppers. It was prettyyy good just missing a lil something - add pesto or a chili spread or something and it would be KILLER A+ coffee as always!

I feel like word has gotten out about Indie. It has been consistently crowded when we have gone over the years. The waffles and bagel sandwiches are great! Appreciate the vegan offerings too. Hang with the hip kids and feel young again (or at least impress your kids who will love the vibe.)

This used to be a hidden gem of a coffee shop, but I feel like it's gained some popularity in the past few years. It has a small, cozy patio in the back and there's some indoor seating as well - great for studying or catching up with a friend (if you can get a spot). The service is kind and friendly, although recently my past few orders have been completely forgotten about or made incorrectly. The food is good, but the prep space (I wouldn't call it a kitchen) is beyond tiny, so I'd recommend you go elsewhere if you have any food allergies.p.s. Skip the chai - it used to be my absolute fav, but they changed recipes and it is SO watered down now (see pic). I confirmed this on 3+ separate occasions.

Such a classic small town coffee shop! I love it here. Smooth rich coffee and great classic flavors. I stopped in this past weekend on a venture down Regent St. The place was packed with students studying for the new semester and busy professionals. This is definitely one to add to your Madison list. Come on a calm Saturday or Sunday afternoon, grab some coffee, a muffin or baked good and enjoy some peace and quiet while you read, work on school, catch up on your side hustle or just enjoy the ambiance of the others around you!

I went to Indie Coffee for just the coffee. Once there I was served one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had!! I was enjoying the small coffee shop and cozy atmosphere on a cold morning. When I realized they were serving waffles! So I had to try one. They were light, perfect and not too overly sweet. Next time I'm in Madison I can't wait to go back to Indie for coffee and a waffles.

I live for the Monet Sunrise. Mom dieu, lavender and honey AND coffee. What's not to love. Great stop for breakfast or lunch. They're waffles are so good. They do not disappoint.You can definitely get away with doing work in there are catching up with a friend. It never gets too rowdy. Go to the cute back patio when it's warm! Sit in the steamy cozy window seats in the winter!

I love this place. Yes, it can be very busy. But, the food is excellent and the tables are nice to do homework at. They have a patio outside as well which is nice in the summer. I personally love their vanilla cold brew.

good brewed coffee. good macchiato. Nice vibeThe terrace out back is a nice spot too.

Best coffee shop in Madison. Went here every week for a while. All the food I had was good too and they got cool posters.
