  A cute and locally owned coffee shop. They serve delicious breakfast and lunch with many vegetarian options. You can also get Paul’s Pelmini to go for dinner.

  Delicious coffee specials, wide variety of unique and tempting baked goods, and spacious welcoming indoor seating. The Pelmeni (Russian dumplings) were a surprise: steaming hot pyramidal bite-sized potato dumplings generously doused with butter, curry spices, and chives, with a side of sour cream, they made for a fresh and satisfying comfort food lunch. The staff were friendly and attentive. Plenty of seating at high and low tables both front, back, and outside overlooking quiet streets.

  We had a really pleasant weekday patio breakfast here on a trip through Madison. Service was super friendly, food was fresh, coffee was good, and atmosphere was vibrant (college town vibes). Oasis is a great name!

  How are the plants here so tall! Oasis needs a plant growing class - beyond that, great breakfast options for a casual sit-down cafe style morning.

  Service dog friendly atmosphere. Can get a little crowded during busy hours, but for the most part there is always seating outside of they run out of it indoors. The pelmini is to die for. Cute atmosphere, sells artwork from local artists.

  The EVP Coffee Shop in Fitchburg rebranded itself several years ago as the Oasis Café to highlight a growing number of food options provided by this location. While it still offers a full arsenal of EVP-powered coffee drinks, this café also offers a variety of well-composed sandwiches and, are you sitting down, pelmeni of Paul's Pelmeni fame.
  
  Oasis has maintained it coffeehouse roots, there are plenty of comfortable seating options, generally occupied with young professionals tapping away on their phones or laptops. A set of large windows flood the interior with natural light and there is a small outdoor seating area for those seeking an al fresco experience. The staff I have interacted with is top notch, über-friendly and incredibly accommodating.
  
  The menu offers a variety of options. In the morning, Oasis serves up breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches. From 11 am to 3 pm, the full sandwich menu is available. During my last visit, I enjoyed their roast beef and provolone offering ($8.25) with a cup of the tomato basil soup ($2). The fact this sandwich came with a healthy does of caramelized onions, pretty much assures my review will carry at least a four star rating. The horseradish sauce needed more of an accent and less of a major flavor note. It just overpowered the subtle flavors of the roast beef and provolone. While I appreciated the fresh sourdough baguette, the crust provided too much resistance with each bite. As I tried to bite off a piece, the sandwich contents would fall out the other side. The roast beef also needed a pinch of salt to accentuate the beef flavors.
  
  I felt the dairy element of the soup muted the fresh tomato flavor. The optional Gorgonzola cheese added a needed flavor boost since the fresh basil was applied sparingly.
  
  The other food option is Paul's pelmeni, which has a well-deserved cult following in Madison. While I could wax poetically about this delicacy, the best thing you could do is order a bowl and experience the awesomeness first hand.
  
  Since Oasis Café is close to my office, it will definitely become a frequent lunchtime destination.

  Nice non-chain coffee shop. Atmosphere is very inviting. It is a nice mix of home-town and art studio. Had the chorizo breakfast burrito. They made it from scratch! This is probably my 10th visit here, and I always wonder why I don't come more often.

  Delicious sandwiches made with fresh bread of your choice, Boar's Head lunch meat, and fresh veggies. Sandwiches come with a pickle and choice of chips or fruit. The lattes here are fantastic too!

  Friendly staff and a cool location. Food combinations seem a little wonky at first, but after having tried a few things I can say it's pretty well-done :) You won't find too many larger portions here, which is refreshing.
