    Pepita polenta loaf slice
    Alyssa M.

    I really enjoy the sourdough bread from this shop and I think it's a pretty good price! It was $7.50 for a sliced loaf of a unique flavor (pepita polenta), which is much cheaper than most sourdough bakeries I have encountered. The service was quick and cashiers/servers were very friendly. The bread was extremely soft, with a nice crunch from the pepitas and a wonderful flavor. The inside and outside of the shop both have seating, and it is very cute on the outdoor patio. The store inside also sells some coffee, different flours, jams, and more to go with your bread. I also got a cheddar chive croissant to eat there, and it was tasty but I wished it had been warmed up, as that would have made it even better!

    Fantastic brunch items and baked goods! This bakery was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint! The highlight of our meal was the deliciously moist carrot cake, which came with an amazing cream cheese frosting. We liked it so much we actually came back the next day to get it again! We also tried the bacon fig toast and the breakfast croissant sandwich. The fig toast was yummy and had a lot of complex flavors and textures, and it came on a very thick slice of toast. The interior has a decent amount of seating, however on the weekends it can get quite busy and you might have to wait to get a table.

    Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Madison Sourdough is honestly one of my favorite places to go in Madison, and it was also one of my first. I remember walking in and seeing all their breads and baked goods and immediately having that "wow" moment, and I wasn't let down when I tried their food too. The Chai latte was one of the best I've had in Madison, the avocado toast is everything I could ask for out of that dish and more, and don't even get me started about the Cook's Breakfast - it was absolutely perfect. The light vinaigrette on the greens, the fresh sourdough, the creamy omelette, and crisp bacon really just come together for an unforgettable breakfast. Definitely a must-try if you're ever in Madison.

    First time here. Was in Madison, walking around and needed some brunch. Our friends had been here before and suggested that we stop. It was a Monday, and the place was busy. They have both seating inside and out. There is a good-sized courtyard out front with tables and umbrellas. Water for your pooch if they're along too. Inside are a couple of different areas for seating. Was greeted by some very friendly staff. Gave us help and time to figure out our orders. My wife ordered the Boursin Cheese Omelet, and I got the Bacon Fig Toast. I got my London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam) in a china mug. It looked like the pastries were going quickly, so we ordered a Chocolate Babka (for me) and a Salted Caramel Roll for her. It didn't take long, and the beverages and food came out. The London Fog was very good. The Bacon Fig Toast was good--the toast was excellent--but I could have used less (thinner) bread. The omelet was perfectly made (not overcooked), and the Boursin cheese gave it great flavor. Both pastries were very good. I thought the Babka was a little dry, so I used some butter (who doesn't like more butter) to spread on each piece--very decadent :) An very good choice for a breakfast meal.

    pumpkin spice latte

    came here on a sunday for brunch! There was a line out the door but it moved at a decent pace. we got the breakfast sandwich, which was a croissant with egg and cheese inside. it was pretty good except the spread was a bit tangy and sour and kind of threw me off. 7/10 the fig and bacon toast was pretty good. i loved the subtle sweetness of the jam mixed in with the bacon pieces. the pumpkin seeds were also a fun addition. 8.5/10 pumpkin spice latte was pretty good. pretty standard, no complaints! 8/10 but the best thing from this place was their carrot cake. it's something im going to dream about for a longgggg time. the little crushed pecans on the side of the cake and the thick cream cheese frosting is something i would die for. the cake was also moist and so flavorful!! Thank god FALL is officially here. need more spiced things in my life. i love cinnamon. this was my top eat this entire trip, nothing comes close! we loved it so much the first time, that we came back the next day and devoured it before our flight home :p 1000/10 the place feels really cozy inside. a little rustic too and very charming! lots of seating but it may be hard to find a seat during a busy day

    Love this place, fresh baked sourdough bread and croissants. Went there in winter with some friends, they told me to try the croissants and absolutely loved the chocolate and the almond one! Also tried the avocado toast, and love the flavour of everything I ate. In the end I got a full loaf of sourdough bread for breakfast at home and some extra croissants. Fully recommended to try, also the space is spacious and have seats for everyone to chat and enjoy. Every visit to madison I just go to get a sourdough bread before going home, and I will keep doing it.

    Every year I order the Büche Noel also known as the Yule Log, for Christmas Eve. Once again Madison Sourdough did not disappoint!!! Delicious and beautiful! Absolutely the best! Also it had a separate bottom in the box it came in which made it easier to remove and put in the cake stand. The pickup window was pretty strict and tricky because it was only able to be picked up on Dec 23 between 9:00 and 2:00, which I understand the holidays and all that but it was challenging to get there in time. It is always worth it!!!!

    I visited Madison Sourdough with my partner for Sunday brunch, and the food was really good! The line was extremely long, but it moved pretty quickly. Both the inside and outside tables were full though, and an employee was nice enough to let us know that we should find a table before ordering. For food, we ordered the baker's breakfast and the cook's breakfast. The menu said that the cook's breakfast comes with bread, which I unfortunately didn't get but I didn't want to make a fuss about two slices of bread on a busy Sunday. The baker's breakfast was a simple staple breakfast, and the cook's breakfast had an extremely rich omelet that I enjoyed. Both dishes were great. We also got a cinnamon roll and a chocolate almond croissant to share. They were both really yummy and the flakiness was a 10/10. I enjoyed how the cinnamon roll was flavorful yet not overly sweet, and the chocolate in the croissant was great. Not pictured, but we also ordered a lemonade and a honey pistachio matcha. The lemonade was your typical lemonade. The matcha was not as good as I hoped, but this was a great breakfast nonetheless. Will definitely be back!

    I really enjoyed the food. The molasses cookie was yummy. I really enjoyed the Egyptian dukkah it was very simple but flavorful. The Drew was a tasty breakfast sandwich. Quality of the bread was nice. I didn't enjoy the drinks as much. Matcha had almost not taste of matcha and the latte was not very sweet at all. Service was good, only had to wait a few minutes for the food. Place was nice and clean with lots of seating

    From Chicago but this place is so good that I'd consider moving to Madison just to go here more often. Breakfast sandwich was delicious. We also got a whole cake to go, amazing. It was so delicate and a huge hit with everyone.

    Great ambiance and service. The food was fine a, little pricy, but a great spot to go with friends and enjoy what this adorable bakery has to offer.

    Cheddar chive croissant
    Olivia L.

    Madison Sourdough is a staple bakery in the city, and I've been wanting to try out some of their baked goods here for a while. Having dined and ordered at many places that partner with Madison Sourdough, I've had the opportunity experience their bread options but wanted to go straight to the source for some goodies. I ordered a chai latte, the cheddar and chive croissant, and a chocolate croissant. The cheddar chive was absolutely perfect and hit the spot. I also liked their chocolate croissant but it didn't stand out as much to me. Service is fast if you're just getting drinks and baked items. You can even order ahead. They also have a restaurant/cafe area with more dining options.

    Favorite spot in Madison for boba! The Lychee with Mango and Strawberry Jelly/荔久迷心 is my favorite…read moredrink to get, and it never fails to disappoint. It comes with very cute star-shaped mango jelly and heart-shaped strawberry jelly. Reasonable prices, and the baristas are very quick at making drinks! Lots of students come here to study or hang out. It was a little crowded, but not too noisy of a spot. Very casual café spot and a great option to hang out with friends.

    While visiting Madison, my mom sent me on a special mission to Le C's to satisfy her sweet tooth…read more With a specific request for "mouse cakes", I decided to visit on a busy Badger football game day. The staff was friendly and welcomed me as soon as I walked through the door. The glass case containing artistic sweets was a welcome sight. I opted for strawberry and black forest cherry mouse cakes along with a few egg tarts. The goods were then packed in a giftable box. 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 :)
