    Chocolate layer cake with buttercream icing.
    Foodie P.

    I did a lot of research for a place to make my wife's birthday cake. After much deliberation, I chose Batch Bakehouse. The reviews were great and the photos very appetizing. Unfortunately, reality kicked me in the face and disappointment laughed in the corner as I cut into the $50 pastry. Since when does a multi-layer cake have way more frosting than cake? The frosting between the three layers was as thick as the cake layers themselves. Add to that the top and side frosting, and you end up with a big ball of sweetened butter. Not pleasant. Not even in the vicinity of pleasant. The buttercream was okay, but I ordered a cake, not a bucket of frosting. Don't ask me what the cake tasted like, I couldn't tell you as there wasn't enough of it to get a good taste. Great service and a nice shop, but a very disappointing first experience. Will not repeat my mistake.

    Batch Bakehouse is wonderful. Always a perfect addition to the spread for a party! The staff is very friendly and helpful - a great way to start the day.

    Scali - excellent bread!!!!!
    Jo L.

    Stopped in today to get my favorite bread, Scali. It's currently $7, but worth every penny. Tonight we'll use it for fancy grilled cheese sandwiches. I called ahead to have one set aside, as I was arriving mid morning and wanted to ensure one was available. If you've never visited, stop in for the wonderful smells, and stay for a snack. There is a coffee counter if you don't want to take your pastry to-go.

    First time ordering a cake from Batch, usually drop in for pastries or smaller deserts. We ordered the custom cake with chocolate cake and strawberry buttercream. The ordering process was super simple online and order was ready exactly when they said it would be. The cake turned out beautiful. I loved all the ways you could customize the fillings, toppings, and writing. I do wish there was a way to add writing on top of the chocolate ganache drizzle but it still turned out great! The cake itself was delicious. It's more of a thicker, dense cake if that's your preference. The frosting was THE BEST. It was buttercream but not too sweet which I really appreciated. It had a very natural strawberry flavor, not the fake strawberry flavor that sometimes comes out.

    This might be one of my favorite spots in Madison. I love everything about it, especially the amazing smells when I walk in. Everyone behind the counter is SO friendly. Don't be afraid of a line outside, it moves fast. As you approach your turn, make sure you snake the line around to the very end of the case so you don't miss apple cake or a new fun cookie or anything else that is closer to the wall. Take your time! We understand. Not sure what to get? The pastries with ham and Gruyère are a perfect snack to munch on walking back to your car. I think the decorated sugar cookies are gorgeous but I'm such a snobby fan of frosted sugar cookies that at that price point I've been afraid to try them for fear of being disappointed. I've tried a lot of different things though and have yet to be disappointed so I should throw caution to the wind. Next up: bread. Scali bread to be precise. Batch no longer delivers to Willy west so when I make it down here I usually have to buy 2-3 loaves to put in the freezer. They put them in freezer bags for me and tie them right up - unless they are too warm yet (swoon) and they just tuck the twisty tie in the bag. I'm a fan of the regular scali loaf but have subbed in the pan loaf at times and it's the same fantastic loaf of bread. Go home and make grilled cheese with it and thank me later. Last but certainly not least - the shortie. You'll never pick just one so just get 5. This is the absolute most perfect little bite of happiness I've ever had. Everyday is a better day when I started it with a morning trip to Batch Bakehouse.

    Dark chocolate bourbon pecan pie slice
    Sho R.

    This is the best bakery in Madison. I ordered a dark chocolate bourbon pecan pie for thanksgiving. It was excellent, with a tonne of pecan. Frangipane was another excellent item. Mini butter cake with cherry cream cheese was good too. San martino cake was really good as well. It tasted close to a plum cake, but much denser. Overall everything had a good amount of butter and was delicious.

    Batch Bakehouse is one of my favorite bakeries in Madison. Everything is so fresh and delicious! Their croissants are light, buttery, and flakey. You also have to get a loaf of their sourdough bread. It's hard to get just one thing. I want to try one of their cakes next time! It's a cute bakery on the corner. It is street parking so the parking can be limited. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

    German chocolate cake
    Deb F.

    We have stopped here several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Today I stopped in for a birthday treat and ended up leaving with a box full. I like that I can get a slice of cake vs having to buy a whole cake. What we enjoyed over the next few days was a slice of German chocolate cake which was moist and delicious with the nuts, Carmel and coconut frosting. A slice of triple Chocolate cake was rich yet delicious with chocolate cake and a couple different chocolate frostings. A salted Carmel Brownie was delicious and enough to share. A cherry cheesecake tart was tasty but I wish there could of been 3 cherries in the tart instead of 2 but it worked to split it in half and share it. The Russian tea cake cookie was as expected to taste. The frosted sugar cookie tasted better than expected. It was decorated and iced beautifully and was soft yet had a crispness-perfect. And the little bourbon pecan pie was awesome. I would buy a whole sized pie of that one. The only bad part about these birthday treats for the week was the scale. But even that was not as bad as it could have been. Have your cake and eat it too...just don't eat anything else.

    Batch has the most consistent quality and best variety of pastries and desserts in the area. Lots of good, tasty stuff and always great service. I like the cakes, cupcakes but especially the tarts and other pastries near the front of the store. Slightly less impressed with the breads which are decent but not great.

I didn't have a chance to try their milk teas or matcha drinks, but they certainly look tasty. Prices for their gorgeous sweets are steep, so be prepared. Le C's teats would make a wonderful, unique gift. Most importantly, mom's sweet tooth was "extremely satisfied" with the goods :)

    My kids and grandkids had lunch here today and it is much more than a bread bakery. So much more,…read moreand 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.

This is a great vegetarian sandwich - I'm not sure if it can be made vegan. The kid's turkey sandwich is really nice and comes on a freshly baked roll with a generous side of fresh fruit-it doesn't come with mayo or another spread, so you might want to ask for. The bread was delicious and I was sad, but not surprised, there were almost no loaves left for purchase. The only negative was the greens served with the sandwich. The mixed greens were fresh, but had almost no dressing or any other veggies or toppings included.
