Cargo Coffee

Welcome to Cargo Coffee, a vibrant gem nestled at 750 E Washington Ave in Madison, Wisconsin. This coffee shop is more than just a pit stop for your caffeine fix; it's a community hub that invites both the hurried and the relaxed to gather, sip, and savor.

At Cargo Coffee, the experience transcends the mere act of drinking coffee. The aroma of freshly brewed beverages fills the air, complemented by a selection of mouthwatering breakfast and lunch offerings. Whether you’re in the mood for a Classic Bagel Sandwich topped with cream cheese, avocado, and tomato for just $4.70, or an indulgent Egg and Sausage Croissant for $5.40, each dish is crafted with care and quality ingredients.

  • Breakfast Delights: Options range from hearty wraps to light, refreshing oatmeal. The croissants, particularly the Ham and Swiss, are a crowd favorite that melts in your mouth.
  • Lunch Choices: For lunch, explore the Full Pallet Wrap or the Truckstop Tuna Wrap, where hearty ingredients come together for an unforgettable bite, all priced reasonably around $6.25 to $6.90.
  • Salads Fresh From the Garden: If you're after something lighter, the Mediterranean Salad with feta and olives is perfect for a refreshing midday meal.

The ambiance at Cargo Coffee is as inviting as the menu. With its sun-drenched seating and artful décor, patrons can enjoy a lively atmosphere filled with the sounds of indie music, often featuring classics from artists like The Shins and The Flaming Lips. Customers consistently rave about the friendly service and the inviting space that encourages lingering over coffee or a quick bite.

Many are drawn to Cargo Coffee not just for its quality beverages, but for the sense of community it fosters. From open mic nights to art displays, it doubles as a space for local talent and expressions, making each visit feel special. As Paul Culbertson eloquently puts it, "If in Madison, this is the place. You just know an owner takes pride in their shop."

With thoughtful touches like a punch card system for loyal customers and a convenient drive-through, Cargo Coffee epitomizes the modern coffee experience. It’s not just a cafe; it’s a spot where connections are made, and taste buds are delighted. So next time you find yourself in Madison, remember—Cargo Coffee awaits, ready to serve you your next favorite cup!
