In the "shout outs" page of the blog you'll find a list of me and Dr. Hottie's favorite food, drink, and exercise places in Madison, WI & Salt Lake City, UT. My all time favorite place in Madtown deserves its own post. The Willy Street Co-op is located on Williamson street. It's an eclectic neighborhood often referred to as "the near east side" or "the willy st neighborhood". I often ride my bike to the co-op, pick up a snack, and hang out for a few hours in the cute outdoor seating to people watch and listen to a musician that's usually playing outside the store (the bluegrass banjo player is my favorite). Yesterday I stopped by to get a smoothie from the juice bar (I went with mango with coconut water) and a couple vegan cookies from the day old bakery. In addition to smoothies and dessert, the co-op also has an amazing salad bar, sandwiches, and creative sides. I will miss this place the most when I move come January!!
