Buying Local

Madison owned and Madison based, Ancora is consistently named Madison's favorite local Coffee Roaster and Coffeehouse.  We launched Ancora in 1994 out of a passion for Specialty Coffee and a desire to bring that experience to the Dane County community.  We proudly support and intentionally do business with fellow local companies and non-profits whenever possible while remaining committed to our Core Mission:  To Celebrate and Share the Enjoyment of Coffee!

History

George and Sue Krug opened the first Ancora Coffeehouse in downtown Madison on King Street in 1994. With George roasting the beans and Sue pulling the espresso, Ancora quickly grew renowned for delicious specialty coffee and warm coffeehouse atmosphere. Today, in addition to the original King Street café, Ancora owns and operates cafés on University Avenue, Monroe Street and at MATC's Truax Campus. There are also independently owned and operated Ancora cafés at the Dane County Regional Airport and in Fitchburg and our coffee is proudly served at hundreds of independent coffeehouses and fine restaurants across the nation.
