Don't even try to deny it: everyone loves cute and cozy cafes. Whether for a photogenic latte, to get some homework done, or just to have alone time, they are essential to every college student. The only downside about these little alcoves is physically finding them - luckily, I’ve done the dirty work for you.

Here are 5 of Madison, Wisconsin’s must-go-to cafes, all located right around (if not in) campus. You’re welcome.

1. Aldo’s Cafe

Found in the beautiful Discovery Building in central campus, Aldo’s has one of the most underrated menus in the whole city. Grab avocado toast for breakfast, a faro and kale salad for lunch, or a cappuccino in between classes. Or, in my case, one of each.

2. Bradbury’s Coffee

If you love crepes and coffee, Bradbury’s will be your new safe haven. Whether you go for their cinnamon and sugar, Nutella and banana, or dark chocolate and caramel crepe, there is no way to order wrong. Literally.

3. Porter

Perfect for the breakfast-lover who came for the photo op. From Belgian waffles and breakfast paninis to matcha and hot chocolate, Porter definitely has it all. Not to mention, their lunch menu is available until 7pm - who needs dinner anyways?

4. Everly

Made for the health nut who still loves a good brunch-run. Let's take a moment to acknowledge the fact that a whole section of their menu is titled “Things on Toast”…if that doesn’t convince you to stop by, I’m honestly not sure what will.

5. Madison Sourdough

Yes, it really does taste as good as it sounds. Not only are their sandwiches better looking than you and me, but their bakery and patisserie (yep, that includes macarons and house-made ice cream) will seriously make you question why you ever even considered going carb or sugar-free. Trust me.
