Crescendo Espresso - Madison

This is one of the top spots for coffee and espresso in Madison. The seasonal lavender cortado was incredible, and their matcha is consistently excellent. I've always been happy with the food here. Food rating: 5/5.

I can't pinpoint exactly what it is, but the coffee leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. I really want to enjoy it since it's the only conveniently located coffee option at Hilldale, but both the coffee and espresso have an odd flavor that makes it difficult for me to finish my drink. Food rating: 1/5.

I want to give a big shoutout to Paul Cait for always delivering an amazing experience for my team with their Mobile Bar service. I highly recommend them to everyone!

The latte I got was good but I was charged $1.00 for an extra cup of water that I asked for for my dog. I’m not sure why I was charged a $1 when there’s water for everyone else. I also wasn’t told that I would be charged until I saw the charge in my email.

Today I went to Crescendo with my daughter and we loved it! I got cappuccino and my daughter got an iced tea. She loved it there, everything was delicious and I recommend you to go there!
