I came here with a friend after hearing about the cool dome online. The cafe was very nice, and the barista was friendly and willing to make an interesting request for a golden latte/cappuccino combo. There seemed to be a lot of food options, and the decor and vibes were fun. Lots of seating which was extremely nice to see. This friend and I have come up with an extremely arbitrary ranking system for coffee shops leading us to give Rotunda a ranking of 9.02/21 with the highlights being drinkware, atmosphere, location, and chairs (ergonomics and number) Would love to come back and try more of the drinks they have to offer!

I'm updating my review. The Rotunda now has some good food choices and a beautiful ambiance. It's a nice place to visit but prices are a bit high. Overall a nice and relaxing coffee shop.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and lots of street parking. I had a cafe miel with almond milk and one of the mini cheese bear claws.

I paused half-way through eating this delicious vegetarian burrito at the Rotunda to leave a review about how delicious and flavorful it is! You should try it along with a cup of their fabulous coffee!

This place is the BEST! Their coffee is great, it's super affordable, and they also have delicious food. I recommend getting the breakfast melt with bacon and adding pesto. It's a HUGE sandwich and so yummy! Not to mention they also serve Paul's Pelmeni and you can also buy frozen orders to take home to cook yourself here. A great option if you don't feel like venturing down to the State Street area, but you find yourself in need of dumplings! Today my fiancé got a dirty chai which he said was delicious, and I got an iced lavender latte. We are splitting the breakfast melt because like I said, it's huge! We got two drinks and the sandwich for under $20. I believe it's the owner who works the counter. He is always super friendly and his staff all seem like they're in a good mood and make a good team. Plus, this space is beautiful and there are a ton of different seating options- from high top tables, to individual rooms, tables good for spreading out and studying, and comfy chairs as well. Definitely give this place a try. For how great it is, it should be constantly hustling and bustling.

Excellent food in a lovely setting. The sandwiches were generous and delicious. Great service.

Great food, pastries and drinks. A cool place to work with private rooms. Very friendly and clean. All the drinks were fabulous. Highly recommend.

AMAZING veggie sandwich. (My favorite) But so many excellent sandwiches/ food for breakfast or lunch! Excellent homemade soups. The service is great... friendly staff. Three different coffee selections as well as many other coffee/drinks. Great atmosphere to work, have lunch or just chat with friends with a wonderful cup of coffee. They also have rooms to take a zoom meeting in privacy. I just can't say enough good things about this great restaurant and coffee shop!!

Such a nice coffee shop with marble floors as they preserved a lot from the original building when it was Security Marien Bank. The baristas were friendly; the coffee & good was delicious. They also have private rooms you can sit in if available, or you can reserve if you want to make sure they are available!!

I've been coming here a while now and it's By far the best coffee shop in Madison fabulous interior, it has a atmosphere of people working and studying. They do seem a bit understaffed and there was no manger on site but the barista on staff was absolutely terrific and was able to show her smile even with a mask on, she took my order (cold brew coffee with 2 shots of espresso on the side) which was made perfectly and then showed me where to sit and brought me my drinks. I really appreciate her efforts in being a friendly human and making me feel like an individual whenever I come in and that's what is gonna keep me coming back. I'd recommend this place for anyone including but not limited to adults, kids, seniors, busy College students, the artsy type, people with narcolepsy, bored people, pirates with a peg leg, pirates without a peg leg, sails, office/factory workers and dogs. How ever I'd not recommend this place for anyone who is allergic to fluorescent lighting, has an irrational fear of buildings or rooms that are round, and anyone that has 0 good vibes. Five stars.
