I like Cafe Beethoven a lot, though I hardly ever go. It's not quite big enough to reach a level of hubub that gives a cafe its energy. There are 4-6 small tables in the front, and a back room that you have to ask to sit in. You feel a bit self-conscious sometimes. But maybe that can be a good thing. I'm sure the people are well-meaning.
I should go here more often because I'd rather my paltry coffee spendings go to a local town shop than to Starbucks. It is fine for meeting up with a friend, as long as you don't say anything too interesting, and maybe for reading, but not for journalling. They also host a lot of events.
While visiting Chatham one day I needed to get my coffee fix and I came across Cafe Beethoven. Located in a gorgeous old building (that looks like it may have been residential at some point in its history) you feel like you're stepping back decades in time. There is a wonderfully comfortable feeling and its charm washes over you as you walk in and take in the decor.
The coffee was good and service was quick and friendly. I look forward to going back to try some of their food and enjoy the charming ambiance once again!
Located in the center of Chatham, Cafe Beethoven makes a nice brew.
The Symphony, Fur Elise (Cocoa and Coffee), and the Cafe Beethoven are a favorite of mine.
Nice environment inside, and they also offer outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the town view and relax. They also have a lot of sweets and decadent desserts to enjoy – chocolate covered pretzels, cupcakes, and all sorts of fruit confections.
Pretty good prices, and the few times we've come, the coffee's been consistently good. This place is my go-to for coffee in the Chatham/Madison area.
