Food Scene
Great classic diner. They serve large food, so be prepared. If you aren't super hungry, I recommend the breakfast sandwich, made any way you like. Open at 6, closed at 2:30. Closed Mondays.

Good pastries, good coffee. And they have wine and beer to drink there or take with. Great if you're looking for cold beer as they've got a great microbrew selection.

Great bar/restaurant. Not cheap, but not terribly expensive. Huge import selection on tap, though they have domestics too if you want something cheaper (which I usually get).

A bit further, but if you're looking for the independent Co-op feel in a grocery store, this is your place. Also happens to sell the best bratwurst I've ever had. Of course not cooked though...

Drinks & Nightlife
This place is a hike, but I included it because it has the best microbrew tap selection in Madison. Really, one of the best bars in Madison if you ask me. A hike, but worth it.

Everything Else
Donuts. Great Donuts. If you're into that kind of thing. I sometimes grab an Old Fashioned for a mid-afternoon snack.
