Madison's Coffee Corner: Local Cafés Worth the Detour

Ancora sits right on University Avenue at the village's southern edge, and it functions as Shorewood Hills' unofficial community center. The upstairs loft is where parents camp out with laptops after school drop-off, UW professors grade papers, and neighbors run into each other over bottomless drip coffee. The red velvet donut and blueberry scone are local staples, and the bacon-egg-cheese biscuit with hot honey has a small but devoted following. Not a trendy third-wave shop more of a warm, well-worn gathering place.
