Lakeside st Coffee House

Lakeside St Coffee House is a neighborhood coffee shop and gathering spot that serves coffee, espresso, tea, sandwiches, salads, beer and wine. The menu covers hot and cold drinks along with savory and sweet food for morning coffee, lunch or an afternoon snack. The shop has its roots in a specialty grocery store that has operated at this address since 1904.

The space is cozy and quiet during the day, and it hosts live music and other events in the evening, so it works for meeting friends, studying or hearing a set. There is an outdoor area with a view of Monona Bay and the Capitol building. The shop is at 402 West Lakeside Street in Madison's Bay Creek neighborhood.
