(Added 6-4-19) ... Remember to ask for condiments when you order, since there's a good chance you won't get another opportunity.
(Added 5-21-19) The "daily special" offered on the 21st was mostly chopped lunch meat in a tomato sauce -- not very good. No more "daily specials" for me.
... Pleasant wait staff, nicely-prepared food from a simple menu, quiet atmosphere, organic eggs and locally-made sourdough bread. Reasonable prices. All tips go to Friends of Meriter Scholarship Fund. I like this place.
Located inside Meriter Hospital, less than 100 feet from the main entry.
This is a good cafe for getting healthy food to go. I also enjoyed their healthy options (which are uncommon for Madison). Most of waitstaff though could use some morale lifting- they were unfriendly and seemed that they didn’t want to be there and did not check in to see if I needed anything. In fact, it seemed I was burdening them and one didn’t even respond when I said “thank you.” I think people use this cafe because it’s convenient in the hospital but it definitely is not a real restaurant as advertised.
Great place to eat if at the hospital. Better quality food than cafeteria. Was at the hospital 4 days and stopped here several times. Food made to order in approximately 10-20 minutes. Also has an outside sitting area in addition to inside seating.
