It's easy to see that pretty much everything about the Sow's Ear has been carefully curated to be an affordable but high-quality local experience from the local landscape artwork on the walls by a local artist, to the locally or regionally dyed and spun skeins of yarn for sale, to the dishes and beverages that cleverly reference Wisconsin locales. And let's not ignore the most important part! My beverage of choice was the Silk Purse (bonus points to those who catch the biblical reference to the cafe title), which was delightful and turned around reasonably quickly. The oatmeal and toast I had was also great. The cafe calls out that turnaround time on food may be higher, and it was, but it ul...
This spot is fantastic. I didn't really want coffee but turning down their brew is quite difficult! I got a Turkish latte which was simply breathtakingly good.This little spot is perfect for a quick grab of some great food. Their soup today was a green chili corn chowder. It smelled so amazing I forgot to take a pic of it. Their Madison melt is a crispy yet not tooth breaking crusty sandwich with the right amount of cheese. I flipped out the mustard for bacon jam and it killed. I'm not into knitting, but if that's your thing then eating and knitting is available here! Definitely try their teas too as those are a lighter hit vs the coffee but still fantastic. I relish eating here and I'm so g...
We were passing through, and decided to stop to get some coffees to go. It was National yarn day, and it was awesome to see all of the people outside behind the shop creating these amazing pieces with yarn. Some crocheting, some knitting. When going inside, the place wasn't busy at all. We got our drinks within minutes, and we're on our way. The employee behind the counter was very nice. Ended up getting a white chocolate mocha- iced, and it was so good. Would go back again if we are traveling in the area. It was neat to see that part of the place was a coffee house, the other part was a yarn store. They also had a variety of food options as well, but didn't stay long to check that out.
From the delicious coffee aroma that welcomes each entering customer, to the luscious yarns, the yummy menu options, and the super friendly, knowledgeable staff, The Sow's Ear has all the components I find compelling in a yarn store. Not to mention the outdoor seating and little indoor rooms in which to share lunch with a friend, conditions permitting. All this in a lovely old building with wood floors! It is a must visit destination for yarn lovers... give yourself plenty of time to linger.

This is a very cute coffee and yarn shop. They sell a variety of baked goods (including adorable cookies) and hot and cold drinks. They also offer artisinal soaps, and knitted items like hats and tiny llama finger puppets.The staff are always very friendly and the service is quick. The food/drinks are good and the seating area is clean and tidy.I really like the Sow's ear and I will be back!
