My first time ordering from here. I must say. Five guys eat your heart out. I had one of the best tasting and filling hamburgers Ive ever had and the fries were just as good. You can tell a good french fries when they taste just as good cold as warm. Everyone should try this place. Once wont be enough. Enough said....

Best coffee in town, excellent service. Nice to have a local business that really focus in good quality coffee and not a mass production coffee. Recommended

My go-to coffee shop. The caramel latte frappe is to die for. I honestly dont understand how the cafe is not more expensive. I always keep a bag of their whole bean dark roast at home. The staff is incredibly friendly and you can tell the owners are very passionate about what they do. I love chatting with Omar about what projects Cafe Social is working on. Did I mention the empanadas?! AH!

The girl behind the counter did her best but the social distancing precautions were so extreme that the register is 6 feet from where you order at the counter, with the barista behind plexiglass, and while wearing a mask. She genuinely couldn’t hear me and I had to repeat myself several times and then still didn’t get what I ordered. I don’t mind when people mix stuff up, especially now because I know things are weird and are harder but hearing her complain about me asking her kindly to correct it to another staff member really put me off. I did finally get my latte but it was essentially just milk with a teaspoon of coffee for color. The muffin however was fantastic. I was so excited to have a coffee shop a few minutes from my house, but I think I’ll take a longer walk from now on.

This Cafe has good coffee, cute decor, and snacks to munch on. The bathrooms are upstairs and the fire hydrant is upstairs near them.

Who doesnt want coffee and arepas(or other Columbian food) on a Sunday morning? Super cute place with friendly service, good food, and tasty coffee. Seriously though, I usually cant drink coffee black, but I tried my boyfriends and liked it! My iced mocha was delicious too. Cant wait to visit again!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Madison. The owner, Omar, is so super nice, as is his staff! They get their beans from his sisters coffee farm in Colombia. Definitely recommend stopping in!!!

Café Social is one of my favorite coffee shops in Madison. Its a perfect getaway spot from campus and everything tastes amazing. Whether its the breakfast sandwich, the 100% Colombian coffee, or the pastries, everything is well worth the price. David, Omar, and the rest of the staff are very friendly too. Its really hard to go wrong with anything over here.

Great, and clean place to chill out at. Im not a coffee drinker. So, they talked me into getting a chai latte and it was delicious! Since returning to Milwaukee, I have yet to find anyone who could make one even close to as good as these guys.The only downside of this place is that theyre in Madison and not Milwaukee.

I got a Quiche Lorraine here. It was well baked and showed appetizing color but tasted insipid. Except that everything was pretty good.

Go for the drinks, I got a mango smoothie and its great. I also got a beef arepa and it tasted great but I know it was microwaved and that made the cornmeal breading pretty hard.

A pleasant, contemporary coffee shop tucked into the first floor of the Uncommon apartment building serving up generally solid baked goods, sandwiches and coffee / espresso drinks. Plenty of natural light and a solid, free wi-fi signal. In the past, finding a parking spot was challenging, but the city created a 10 minute parking spot in front of the building to make it easier pick up a grab and go order. My beef empanada, when paired with the guasacaca sauce, was a delectable treat, while my rather bland egg and cheese empanada was less than memorable. The $5.50 price for a pair of empanadas is a solid value.
