    We grew up going to the Brennan's in Monroe, WI so always love this place. So sad when they downscaled locations, but it just makes our visits here that much better. There's a distinct market smell that is amazing, and we love the setup. Plenty of fresh produce, great cheese choices and a good amount of everything else, including lots of local choices. The staff are friendly and helpful if you have questions. Hope to check out the cider bar again next time it's open! Well worth a visit here. Try the aged cheddars, great brick and other creative cheese options!

    Brennan's Market has an unbelievable cheese section! Cheese curds for days

    Exceptional customer service, fabulous food options, an expensive deli section, and a first rate cocktail and wine section with premium mixers.

    This is a boutique grocery store with exotic items. There was a variety of alcohols, cheese etc. They have a food counter as well. I ordered Friday special beer battered fish and philly cheese steak sandwich. Both was excellent. Especially the fish fry, I regret taking only 2 pieces. I should have gone for 3 pieces. This is the best fish fry I had. I cannot believe it came from a grocery store. And the prices were quiet reasonable as well. Pear cranberry fangipane tart from bakery was excellent. Almone croissant was good as well. Garlic & herb cheese was a very flavorful sandwich spread. I tried the purple door whiskey flavored ice cream. It was ok.

    Foodie heaven! I used to visit Brennan's when they had a Brookfield location. I sorely missed them so decided to drive to Madison. I was immediately reminded of why I loved it so much. Not only is their produce aesthetically pleasing, it's the best quality. Their cheese selection is vast; I had to restrain myself from buying one of each. Lots of other local goodies to choose from and a beautiful meat case. There's also a deli and hot food section that I would visit weekly if I lived nearby. I'm on my last package of cheese, need to plan my next visit!

    Lots of great international items and well priced. Too, their deli has some wonderful sandwiches! They will fill you up and give you tremendous flavors.

    I just stopped in to by the BEST Cheddar Cheese money can buy and Brennan's gave me a bag AND Ice Packs.

    You must visit Brennan's. Every time I am in Madison I stop. They specialize in all things WI. WINE, BEER. CHEESE. PRODUCE, MEAT, DELI. BaKery. COFFEE. TEA. I spend so much money in there they give me reusable bags and ice packs. I love it there. I highly recommend you visit. At. Once.

    This place reminded me of the combination of a Whole Foods and Trader's Joe. Lots of high end fresh fruits and produce. I got some bloody oranges, tangerine and caulilini. They are expensive as I spent almost $16 just for these 3 items. They carry a wide array of cheese, beers and pastries. But I can't justify paying $22 for a loaf of banana bread. Glad I checked it out. I wonder how they compete with its neighbor: Aldi.

    Fish Friday!

    They have a great selection of local beers/wines/ciders (HiddenCave Ciders is a fav of mine) and their cheese selection is top notch.

Their freezer section in the standalone freezer there were several items that were unmarked. The price wasn't on either side of the freezer. I have been to this location several times and it is always as disorganized and dirty each time. I didn't have any bags with me and I needed to purchase one. however the registers that I could immediately see, none of them had any bags to purchase. As I was packing my items into boxes, I saw one self check out had a few bags for purchase. I would say I visit this particular location maybe once a month and this was the third time I have noticed that there was no or few bags for purchase. Usually, I go to Aldi in Sun, Prairie, Fitchburg, or East Madison, because they are better stocked and better organized than this particular location. This one is by far the closest one to my home, but I will go out of my way to avoid this particular store when possible.

    I switched to Aldi's from Woodman's a couple of years ago due to changes in economic circumstances…read more It was hard getting used to the different name brands [mostly European knock-offs of USA] but I found, contrary to expectation based on appearances, that about 85% of the choices were just great TYVM. I really like the recent changes upgrading and expanding the interior [I shop at Fitchburg site near Target] and adding new products. Since COVID I have been ordering my grocs delivery. I like it pretty well but it really irks me when my go-to items [like cottage cheese or my mandarin oranges] aren't available. It has been about 2 mos since I've gotten cottage cheese @ Aldi's. As a "vulnerable shopper" who at the moment is unable to drive I really need to get all my products in one place. Aldi's falls way too short on that. E.g. I hate their options for pet foods [so does my kitty]. So sometimes I have to shop at another store, which means I have to pick up at least $35 of products from the other store to get free delivery when all I want of what they offer is $15-$20 worth. And the fill-in products to make up that $35 are ALWAYS substantially more expensive than Aldi's. After shopping almost exclusively at Aldi's for the past 2-3 years I must say after reading the very negative reviews included here...did they go to the same store I do? Cuz I'm so happy with it I have made it my #1 go-to store. I save between $20-$50 a week with Aldi's prices. And that's over Woodman's (Madison) prices [the $20 is over Woodman's; $50 is over HyVee]. When I was able to drive I'd always go to Aldi's 1st & then pick up the rest of what I needed at surrounding stores. All in all I save between $100-$150/month over Woodman's. And I simply can't stand those gigantic stores any more. So much stuff, so little I would buy. And having all that extra stuff means the giant stores have to charge more than Aldi's because of their overhead. In all the time I've shopped at Aldi's I've never had a problem with service. Indeed many clerks have gone out of their way on my behalf, especially but not only when I show up with my walker. Whereas in the giant stores I get big sighs implying, like...really??

Ski Hi has something for everyone including kids. I think they have the best caramel apples! Their apple cider donuts are amazing as well. They have many treats to choose from including apple turnovers, apple pies, apple cider, etc. They also have a wide variety of apples you can either pick or buy by the bag. My favs are the macintosh. They have multiple check out areas around their retail space so the lines move quickly. I regret not getting a tshirt, they are so cute. There's lots to see in their retail space, it's always fun to look at everything. After you get your purchases I recommend eating your caramel apple on a picnic bench on their lawn space. Beautiful views! Highly recommend!
