Best coffee and yarn selection in the Madison area! The owner is awesome and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable! You have an issue with the blanket you're worth on? They're there to help!Try the white zombie lattes! They're fabulous!

This quiche and salad was $10, it was also probably the best quiche I've ever had. It's not a place for cheap food and that cuts both ways.

Been wanting to try this place out and finally decided to stop in Saturday (4/13/24) morning. The yarn store portion of the store is really cool to browse though (coming from someone who does not knit/crochet) and they even had embroidery kits and similar things. They had some books as well.For the cafe part of the store, the cashier (whose name i did not get but they had cute rubber ducky earrings) was super nice and even though there were a few people ahead of my order in the kitchen, the food came out at a reasonable time. The indoor and outdoor seating was really nice. I tried the white chocolate frappe and the Verona (which is pretty much a caprese) sandwich. Both were amazing and I look forward to trying out the rest of their menu!

This is my favorite place in all of Madison. I love it for the crafting spaces, the food, the coffee, and the community. I picked up knitting since I started coming here, and it’s amazing getting to explore the rooms of quality and varied yarn on sale. Sow’s Ear is the place I miss most about Madison, and I made sure to spend most of my time here when I got to come back for a visit!

I really enjoy coming here even though I am 70 miles away. Worth the trip in my honest opinion. They have fun and tasty takes on their food selection and their coffee is delicious (ask for the "zombie" for some extra kick). The yarn shop in the back is incredible and very welcoming. I don't knit but gosh darn I might as well learn since my knitter wife won't make the sweater I've been asking for about 2 years. Overall, a welcoming space of all of who simply want a light meal and coffee while relaxing at a table to do whatever one wants.

Checked out this cute little coffee shop/ knitting shop in downtown Verona. I had a danish, which was amazing. So flakey and perfect. I paired that with a hot matcha latte.The cutest little shop, with a lot of neat little trinkets from local businesses. I also snagged a sticker!There’s also a whole knitting shop, with patterns, supplies, knitting needles. A worker named Julia found my friend and I, and gave us a tour of the knitting rooms. She also gave us a ton of info and gave us a business card. They hold classes if you want to learn how to knit.Such a cute little place. The staff was so kind!I may have to check out one of their classes. And I’ll definitely be back again for coffee!

I love The Sow’s Ear so much. It feels a bit like home to me. Everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. They have an incredible in store selection, but I love that they have even more available online so you can almost always find what you want. I love having a comfortable place to escape to and knit and snack and drink coffee.
A yarn store, coffee shop combo?!? What more could a person want? Great atmosphere and coffee! ?

Best coffee shop I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Staff is very friendly. I HIGHLY recommend their oat milk latte with sugar-free chocolate and sugar-free vanilla syrup. 10/10. Once you've tried this coffee shop, you forget there are others in town.
