At Java Cat, it’s all about coffee and community. And don't forget about THE best Gelato in Madison! Our aim is to serve the best gourmet coffee, authentic gelato and delicious fare with a friendly smile in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We serve only 100% fair trade, organic coffee roasted by our friends at Just Coffee Cooperative, located here in Madison. We produce the best handcrafted Italian gelato in the area. Our bakery is locally sourced and breakfast is served all day. Sandwiches and wraps, soup and salad round out the menu. We support our local community in as many ways as we can. We participate in several annual fundraisers, including the upcoming Java Jive, which is celebrating its 20th year Sunday, September 27th at the Brink Lounge. Last month, we were scooping gelato at Sundae Fundae, to benefit the Wil-mar Community Center and Olbrich Gardens. We encourage the arts. We have a rotating art show where artists of any medium are invited to display and/or sell their work. We often have live music, seldom a weekend goes by without a local musician, and now we even have a house guitar! If you play, stop on down. We never charge a cover for music and we take no commissions from the sale of artwork.

I love stopping here when the weather is frightful, it's so nice to not have to get out of my warm car to get a warm tasty coffee drink. I actually find the drive-through faster than going inside. The main downside is that the parking lot…

Java Cat is a great little coffeehouse, but don't forget to try the gelato! Their coffee is all fair-trade and has excellent flavor without a super-high price. I have enjoyed all of my experiences there!

This is a really nice coffee shop. The coffees are very good, very smooth. Prices are pretty much the going rate. They have a wide variety of desserts, as well as a large selection of gelato that looks really good. The parking area is…
