My kids and grandkids had lunch here today and it is much more than a bread bakery. So much more, and all really good. The outside is pretty nondescript, but inside it is warm and inviting. The bakery case is filled with lots of yummy treats and the menu board has something for every taste, all freshly made. The Egg Salad has a Pesto addition which is really good, and all the other dishes were beyond good. The fruit was super fresh and very tasty. There are two small cozy dining areas. One has a window into the bakery area and the grandkids enjoyed watching the pastry chef work her magic. Parking is in the street or the small adjacent parking lot. While the location is accessible, the dining areas are a bit tight for a wheelchair. However, those at the tables would be happy to make room as needed.
I love Madison Sourdough! My recommendations— For breakfast/brunch: Cook’s Breakfast For something small: Soups, kouign amann, almond croissant, chocolate chip cookie To drink: Hot brown sugar cardamom matcha latte with whole milk (or seasonal offering) You can’t order a bad thing here ✨
Update: They have not attempted to reach out to us. All they seem to do is ignore and only thank people who say positive things about them. We’re not going to you guys again. We ordered a $60 cake for my sister’s birthday, and unfortunately, it was handled poorly. When we removed the cake out of its flimsy box, we saw the sides were damaged. The staff packaged it away from the counter, so we couldn’t see how it was being prepared. While the cake itself tasted okay, the packaging was terrible. If anyone else has received a cake in this condition, I encourage you to leave a review so they can improve their packaging process. One of my sisters used to work in the Whole Foods bakery, and they switched from boxes to plastic containers after customers had similar issues. For the price we paid, we definitely deserve a partial refund.
Very cozy and cutesy place. Will update the review whenever I try their homemade bread but we got brunch (croque madam & roasted beef sandwich) and a carrot cake for dessert and everything was fresh and delicious.
Everything was absolutely perfect. Every bite we took was bursting with flavor, but this place didn’t just fill our stomachs—it warmed our hearts, too. Full points for greeting their furry friends at the door with water, and huge applause for the wonderful staff who care for all those beautiful plants. The open kitchen detail takes the experience to another level. Kudos to everyone involved!
