Restaurant guide

Did you know we carry America's most decorated cheese, and it's made just 50 miles south of Oregon? The folks at Uplands Cheese near Dodgeville just had their first calf of the season - a beautiful Jersey with eyelashes that go on for miles - which means their cows are once again beginning to give milk, which means another season of Pleasant Ridge Reserve, one of America's most famous raw-milk cheeses - is about to begin! Jeanne drives to the Uplands farm every two months to pick out the very best wheels of cheese. Watch for an upcoming class featuring the folks at Uplands Cheese and Wisconsin raw milk cheeses in the coming months!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the award-winning team who earned the 2019 Bronze Medal for Best Coffee Shop from Madison Magazine. Out of thousands of votes, you all voted us the third best coffee shop in Madison (and we're not even in Madison!). This is huge for us. Thank you, thank you to our amazing customers. Pictured here are 14 of our 19 employees, six of whom work full-time and devote their careers to Firefly Coffeehouse & Artisan Cheese. We've got 4 bakers and 15 baristas, all of whom combine to serve you 7 days a week. Most of these folks know hundreds of you - our customers - by name. They know what you drink, the names of your kids, the names of your dogs, and where you went on vacation last week. They celebrate the good times with you and cry with you during the not-so-good times. You, our customers, are part of the Firefly Family and we adore you. 2019 is going to be our best year yet. Thank you, thank you, thank you --- Jeanne & Uriah
