06/10/2016 11:07 amMy wife came to Mother's Fool recently to have a tea and pick up a package (apparently Mother's Fool is a pick up location for UPS). After spending 20 minutes to find parking (the parking near Mother's Fool is horrible), she went inside for the tea and package. When my wife inquired about the package, she was immediately met with skepticism from a young man working at Mother's Fool. This young man not only insulted my wife by not believing that she was my wife (the package shipping address had my name) even though the package shipping address matched her home address on her driver's license that she provided but he also thought it was necessary to make a negative comment about my wife not sharing my name (she did not change her name after we got married) but he insisted on not believing she was my wife and that she should not be able to pick up the package. The young man finally realized the mistake he was making and my wife assured him it was ok just to be answered, "I know it's ok!" My wife was so upset after this situation she decided it was best to leave without the tea. What kind of Madison coffee house is this?! Highly unrecommended. |

02/25/2016 4:15 pmYou can tell this place was built from the ground up by loving hands. It's THE coziest cafe in Madison. I'm a cafe surfer and connoisseur, I know. The couches and chairs are clean, comfortable, and unique (obviously collected from years of meticulous thrifting, not a bulk purchase from IKEA). The coffee is AMAZING. I ask for some weird fusions of drinks, and they've always exceeded my expectations. Artwork is as gorgeous as it is snarky, handwritten notes everywhere. The employees are a colorful bunch and they're always very kind to me, make me feel welcomed in a genuine, charming way. It's funny, though, I don't think I've ever seen the same barista twice. The lighting is warm, amber, peeking out from a variety of vintage lampshades. Music selection is top notch (I always end up looking up the stuff I hear afterwards) and they have the CD out so you can see what's playing. I love it. Probably my favorite coffeeshop in the world, period. |
