Greenbush has quite a selection and we found out you can also place a specialty order within 24 hours of desired pickup. Longer business hours than most other bakeries / donut shops. Interior is spacious and inviting if you choose to sit down to enjoy your bakery goodies. They also have a small area set aside as a "gift shop". Staff is very friendly and helpful when trying to decide what you want from all the delicious choices. Highly recommend Greenbush Bakery!

This review is for Oakhouse @ the Capitol Square Farmers' Market (CSFM) location…read more They are not exactly an underground bakery at the Farmers' Market, but they certainly don't get their deserved props. Oakhouse's delights include breads, donuts, scones and specialties are loaded. There are other bakeries at the market including Stella's. Based on the crowds and the number of reviewers on Yelp, Stella's gets all the love. However, based on my consumption of their breads and pastries while also comparing prices and customer service, Oakhouse backhands Stella's with a silicone pastry brush (granted, Stella's has the moistest and most flavorful cheese danishes in the area). I have always appreciated Oakhouse's efficiency and consistency. They are very organized package bakery perfectly. I never had anything smushed by being jammed in (like other places). They rarely struggle with stocking or maintaining an attractive display. I have never felt ignored or frustrated by cash handlers. These are amazing accomplishments factoring in the madness of the CSFM. My change your life recommendation is their Napoleon. It is the eclair's hotter sibling. Oakhouse's offering is a ginormous & gorgeous pile of puff pastry, vanilla cream and vanilla/chocolate glaze decadence. The layer offers dynamic and perfect flavor combinations vs. the eclair's often disappointing cream to pastry ratio. Next time you go to the CSFM... sting Stella's and make a beeline to Oakhouse. They may be -1 on product marketing, but more thank make up for it on their delicious delivery. Once you save time, a little cash and make your sweet tooth sparkle, you can thank me later.

I've tried: Chunky Cinnamon bread…read moreSpicy Cheese bread I first came across Oakhouse Bakery at the Dane County Famers' Market, but I've since seen their products at multiple stores in the Madison area. I know Regent Market Co-Op carries some of their breads. Their Cinnamon bread is decidedly cinnamony, but much too dense and dry for my liking. The Spicy Cheese bread was good, but I found that it falls short of Stella's version of this specialty. Despite the less-than-spectacular nature of what I've tried, I certainly plan on giving Oakhouse another shot. I'm hoping to dig into some of their donuts next time, of course :)

I found this one after seeing all the positive reviews and thought it even had a drive thru, but turns out it didn't (I think that's more of an Apple Maps issue). No big deal, we decided to head inside instead and glad we did. The place was so cozy and fully leaning into fall and Halloween vibes! From the decor to the overall atmosphere, it felt warm and festive in the best way. Their menu was super creative and seasonal too, with lots of drink options (they even serve beer, which was unexpected but cool)! Our barista mentioned she was still in training, and I appreciated her honesty and kindness. The drinks came out okay, we ordered a Pumpkin espresso, which came lightly flavored and the other, Banana Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso was a bit strong, it tasted mostly espresso with the flavors either not in the beverage or not quite blended in. I did like how she offered different milk options, that was a nice touch. I also noticed some cups had cute pumpkin toppers, which was an adorable detail (mine didn't have one, but I noticed others did). Overall, it was a cute stop with nice service and a great vibe. If this happened to be nearby when we visit again, I wouldn't mind giving it another shot.

I also really like that they serve breakfast and lunch all day. It can get a bit busy on weekend mornings, but the service is always fast and the space is cute and welcoming. They sometimes have live music, which is fun. The rewards program is also nice. Overall, it's a cute coffee spot with easy online or counter ordering for takeout or dine-in.

There was a good selection of hot and cold options, and there were minimal pastries left to choose from (outside of cookies, there was a single cinnamon roll left). I got a cold brew with sugar free vanilla syrup and a splash of milk. Overall the cold brew was so bitter, I had a hard time drinking it. The coffee shop had a cozy aesthetic and they have a great patio for outside seating. I did not try any of the hot coffee/latte options, so my visit maybe an anomaly to the overall options at this shop. If you're looking for a cold brew, there are other, less bitter options in the area.
