Madison Sourdough was so delicious! We went for brunch on a Sunday and it was very busy, but the service was still excellent. There are lots of tables and a cute patio. A cozy spot for breakfast or for working on a laptop. read more

Food is alright here, but the star is the bread for sure-- I think you can get a loaf for $6-7 which is for sure pricier than the cheapest sandwich loaf at the grocery store, but pretty reasonable for a bakery loaf that tastes phenomenal. I've had brunch in person here before, and I got the shakshuka while my partner got a turkey sandwich. Shakshuka (6/10): dish was just ok, it was served with untoasted bread (which is my brunch pet peeve tbh) and the eggs were a touch overcooked (I like mine runny); eggs were served over a slaw which was kind of strange in my experience with shakshuka Turkey Sandwich (6.5/10): tasted alright, was just a basic turkey sandwich, a tad under-seasoned but tasted very fresh, can't complain too much about it More recently, we got takeout brunch: Biscuits + Gravy (7/10): yumm, I'd say pretty standard biscuits and gravy, my only complaint was that the sausage in the gravy was a bit hard and dry which was strange for sausage, good level of flavor otherwise not much to critique but also not much to boast about Grits w/ Pimento Cheese (7.5/10): I love cheesy grits !! Eggs were nicely cooked this time, would've liked some sort of protein or crunch just to break up the creaminess of the grits n cheese, but alas, great flavor anyway I've also gotten coffee here before, but it has been pretty bad, I'd likely get my coffee elsewhere before coming here for bread/food. Service has always been friendly and rather quick-- you order at the counter, and they bring you food if you're eating in. Vibes inside the store are nice and peaceful, lots of seating inside and lovely to sit outside if the weather is nice :) read more

Best meal we had in Madison. Boursin omelet and the Drew were really fresh and expertly prepared.

Madison Sourdough is a must stop. Their pastries, food, and coffee are really tasty. Their cakes are as well. Service is always fast and they're happy to answer questions. Nice interior with a nice patio space. read more

Madison Sourdough - Classic Breakfast Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

We tried this place in August '23 when we were passing through Madison and I've thought about it countless times since. Not only is the bread out of this world but they have the best vanilla syrup I've ever tasted. I even mentioned it to the friendly gal working at the front counter because I needed to know where they got it from-- it turns out that they make it in house! Fast forward to a week ago- I actually made it back to Madison and unluckily was just on the right side of food poisoning (from somewhere else!) so I had to bypass all of their delicious sandwiches and just stick to a thick toasty slice of sourdough bread with butter and jam. Let me tell you, this was an excellent consolation prize! And the vanilla syrup is just as good as before. I will pine for them until my next trip to Madison. read more

This is one of my favorite bakeries in Madison! Their pastries are perfectly flaky & just the right amount of sweet. I've tried the cinnamon roll & pain suisse so far and loved both, especially like their cinnamon rolls bc they're uniced and not overpowering-ly sweet. I also usually grab a latte any time I stop by, they're pretty decent. Have yet to try any of their menu items/breakfast plates, but I might get one of those next time. Overall, love treating myself to a trip here (staff is super nice & atmosphere is also lovely). read more

The sourdough loaf was absolutely amazing. I stopped by on a road trip from Wisconsin to New Mexico and the bread traveled well and was still soft and fluffy! read more

I was there to pick up a birthday cake. Orange Cardamom flavor was a nice and different flavor. I loved the flavor. Cake as such could have been softer. While there I picked up my breakfast. Italian beef sandwich and curried tomato bisque were both good dishes. Egyptian Dukkah toast was good, but could have been more flavorful. Msco sandwich bread crust was a bit too hard for me. Rosemary Ginger pear pie was good. It was a sweet and savory pie flavor which was very different. read more

I had a raspberry pastry that was seasonal. I loved every bite. It was very hard to decide what to get since all the croissants and stuff looked amazing. The staff was very friendly and helped me choose. I'd definitely go back! read more

This place is amazing. I ordered the Diablo breakfast dish and it had lots of flavor and was low in carbs.

I ordered the patissier's breakfast which came with a butter croissant, two over easy eggs, blackberry jam, butter and a side salad. The croissant was so good! Flaky and buttery. I enjoyed the jam and butter as well. My eggs were slightly undercooked with some runny whites but otherwise, I enjoyed my meal and will be back! read more

This quick (of long if preferred;) breakfast spot is truly perfect. Everything from the craft and care of the fresh sourdough bread, to the coffee, eggs, and atmosphere- just fantastic. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, that's great for a calm and casual brunch with friends or family. Don't miss the chance to enjoy the front patio during fall- a perfect, slow, autumn brunch- AMAZING fall pastries! read more

You come in for the breads (my favorite is the boule) and stay for the coffee, soup, friendly service, and cozy ambience...it always smells delicious, too. Is your mouth watering yet? read more

Madison Sourdough looked amazing from the photos, so I had high hopes. I love a good sourdough bread. My boyfriend had the croque Madame, I had the Egyptian dukkah toast, and we shared the pecan pie toast for desert. The best thing out of these was the croque Madame, but there was not much competition. The Egyptian dukkah toast was salty, but nothing compared to the pecan pie toast. The pecan pie toast was SO salty that we could not even eat it. I ended up throwing 80% of the toast away because it was inedible from how overly salty it was. Additionally, I paid too much for a small cup of orange juice that was "fresh" but tasted like it was from concentrate. Lastly, the toast did not have a strong taste of sourdough. Overall, disappointing. read more

This place is fantastic. Their breads are all sourdough, but they're so creative and different that you'll forget they're all the same "style". The polenta batard especially is great and pretty reasonably priced. Then we have the pastries, cakes and pies. The pies are always delicious and deep dish! The cakes are occasionally not quite perfect - some of the flavors I don't care for but there are always interesting ones to choose from and the specials are usually killer. The pastries and food from their kitchen are great too, particularly love the chocolate cherry almond croissant! They recently started some indoor dining in a back room too, and when the weather is nice the patio is always a good choice. I go here very often, almost weekly and have never been let down. read more

Your bread is amazing but your attitudes simply suck. Every single time my parter and I go in, both together and separately, you chat with every person before and after us in line but when it's our turn and we ask for your opinion on products (that was our first time into the store and our last time asking since you treated us like we were stupid) or all of the times after that with a quick "hey" or "how's it going?" or "how's your day been?" or "have a great day" after checking out, we get CRICKETS. We tried to give you grace and thought that may have been a fluke or maybe that person is having a bad day or maybe you didn't hear us but both of us experiencing that every time we go in? That's an issue. We bring you a lot of business through our friends and family, we purchase your products in-store as well as at Woodman's; etc. so it would be greatly appreciated if you got off your high horse and responded to us for once read more

This is a great upbeat craft bakery that did a fine job with my avocado toast. As an amateur baker l recognize the care and creativity that goes into making great breads, and this place 'rises' to the challenge. Pun intended. read more

Go when your stuffed, go when your hungry. You'll always be satisfied at Madison Sourdough. The pastries are to die for. I get a chocolate croissant every time. The savory galette also goes hard. The food can get pricey. It's yummy but not as one of a kind delicious as their baked goods. Personally I'm intimidated by their artisanal bread (like how can something so gorgeous be eaten), so I haven't tried it but the pastries have a lower barrier to entry. Coffee and lattes are decent, too! read more

We got their baguette, signature sourdough batard, carrot cake and roast beef sandwich. I would say their breads are good but too crunchy to the point it is hard to eat. The roast beef sandwich was delicious but I wished they would toast it. Then again, their breads were too rustic and crunchy. Toasting it would be hard to consume and enjoy the sandwich. Now, moving for the desserts, the carrot cake was good and not overly sweet. Wished it had some nuts, raisins and carrots inside the cake. Overall, it has a lot of potentials, just wish the breads were not too crunchy. read more

Amazing bread! Great spot on Williamson tucked away in a grove of trees. Very easy to order online & pick up ready (self-serve). Inside is clean with lots of windows and a nice area to sit inside or outside. Really friendly staff! read more

Being big fans of Batch Bakehouse down Willy Street we had not wandered down here to try the baked goods at Sourdough. We finally stopped on our way home from a bike ride. The almond croissant and the almond chocolate croissant were both very good - a bit heavier than others we like locally. Plenty of filling. We also bought a non-sourdough loaf - I think it was a country bread with flaxseed and ? It was good but the crust was almost tough - it took a lot to chew it. I am guessing some like that but not me. Overall we will definitely return since there are plenty of other tempting pastry items we need to try! read more

Came here to say what a great place. Had a coffee, classic breakfast sandwich and a blueberry danish. That danish was fantastic, had a custard like topping. Staff was warm and friendly, the space was cute inside and out (they had outdoor seating). I want to go back right now :) read more

This spot appears to be super popular during the weekend, but when I popped in for a late lunch on Monday, it was actually pretty quiet. I got a turkey sandwich which was pretty mediocre. Also wasn't a fan of the matcha latte, it was too sweet for me. But the saving grace was the oatmeal cookie - perfectly soft and chewy. read more

I like bread, and Madison Sourdough has gooodddd bread. Awesome spot to pick up some pastries, or grab a casual brunch. We tried a few brunch items, both of which were great. The Eggs Diablo was full of flavor, and the avocado toast was seriously thick. We also brought home a chocolate almond croissant to try later and...wow it was truly the best of both worlds. They're not joking around here. read more

I've been going to Madison Sourdough for years for breakfast and their wonderful baked products and desserts/pastries. The best thing that has happened there lately is I chose it for a first "Match" breakfast date. She enjoyed the food and the company. We went back a year later to celebrate. If Madison Sourdough doesn't create magic for you their baked goods and breakfasts and lunches will certainly brighten your day. read more

Madison sourdough is hands down the best bakery in Madison. I've been a loyal customer for years because of their delicious bread and pastries (including the cheese twists ). They made the wedding cakes for our wedding last week and they were so good, we ended up running out of cake because so many guests came back for seconds! Not only were the cakes delicious, but beautifully presented. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

We made a stop here on our back to Milwaukee (pastry lovers that eat pastries almost every day here) after reading the Yelp reviews. OMG what a gem! We highly recommend their croissants, Quiche Lorraine and Madam Breakfast Sandwich. The eggs were perfectly cooked in our food. The seasoning was perfect. The croissant, hands down the best. Even the sauce that comes with the salad was yummy. We also bought almond croissant, chocolate almond croissant, Pear and Cranberry Galette & danishes for breakfast. They were goooodddd. We would definitely return next time when we are in Madison! read more

Such a great place for breakfast! Plenty of seating options - intimate for small groups but has the capacity to seat larger ones as well. Self-serve. Busy on a 10am Saturday morning, but food was served quick. The menu board is tiny to read but they do have handheld ones to browse. All of their desserts looked stunning! I had a chai macaron which was disappointing. It needed more filling to even out the filling to cookie ratio. The cookie was chewy, not light by any means. I had the ham and cheddar omelet with a side salad! I would order this again. My friend ordered the blueberry toast and I am eager to try this next time I come here. read more

My first time going here and I have to say that they have a very nice set-up for social distancing. You are able to order and they have an adjoining room you can wait for your food in. I bought a variety of savory and sweet baked goods. One was the Drew sandwich and they accommodated my request for it to be served on a croissant rather than Italian bread. It was $12 which is a little pricey for a breakfast sandwich in my opinion, but it did come with a small side salad and was a large enough portion. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their offerings! Edit: My sister had the chocolate espresso cake and this is what she had to say: "Could hardly taste the espresso, the frosting was really stiff, there was so much caramel that kind of just pooled at the bottom, and idk it was just a really basic chocolate cake with no complexity." I won't be deducting any stars for this since I enjoyed my order, but just a heads up! read more

Nice Saturday brunch with the fam and puppy on the patio. We enjoyed a couple lattes and breakfast sandwiches! I had the madam breakfast sandwich with gruyere, dijon, egg, and ham. It was melty and delicious on a flaky croissant. Perfect! We also enjoyed a salad and the biscuits and gravy. read more

This was a nice bakery we happened to find while driving through Madison. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. And they have free WiFi. There is a wide array of pastries, breads, cakes, and made to order menu items. We tried the blueberry crossiant and cheese crossiant. Both were delicious. We then later came back for a late lunch (just right before the kitchen closed at 3pm). We had the tomato soup and grilled cheese, and a salad. Both were good. The tomato soup had chunks of tomato which is not my cup of tea. The salad dressing could've been stronger in taste. Service was very friendly. If I lived in Madison I would definitely check out this place read more

Went here for a fundraiser where they were serving pizza, salads, and desserts. We only ended up getting the pizza, but it was amazing. The crust hard a great crisp to it on the ends, however the middle didn't quite hold up to the ingredients. This makes sense though as they were mostly liquid dense. The sauce was a tomatoe base but had a smokey, sweet, tangy flavor from the peaches, prosciutto, parmesan and arugula that topped it. Definitely a winning combination. I generally come here just to pick up loaves of bread for my dad, so it was great to try some other food as well. Also their breads are great! read more

Everything was amazing. Beyond irritated people took seating before ordering. Been to many counter service establishments where they post you are not allowed to claim a seat till order is placed. They should consider this as I watched a family with two small children ask for to go boxes for full plates as I watched rude college kids claim a table before they ordered when the family could have enjoyed a meal with their kids. Please consider making this change when you do not have significant seating. read more

I always stop here on my car ride home to Detroit. The last two times, I stuck stoically by the Miche, which is a bread unexplainable unless you've had it. (And had it done well, such as here) Today I branched out and added the pepida loaf: phenomenal! Full of air pockets inside with a crispy, yet still chewy exterior. Amazing, as all bread here tends to ve also co queried the cinnamon roll. Instead of that heavy breadball slathered in cloyingly sweet frosting, theirs is light, almost croissant-like and dusted in a cinnamon throughout. (Warning: if you're a Cinnabon-at-the-mall fan, this is probably not for you) read more

We stopped by on a trip through Madison around 2pm for a late morning breakfast sandwich and coffee. This totally hit the spot. It is a cute shop with friendly staff and fresh breads, cakes, pies and breakfast sandwich options. Currently no seating available, only take out. I had a biscuit with jam and butter. It was flaky and buttery which I loved! My husband had a madame breakfast sandwich. They were out of the croissant but they let him get a biscuit instead. I also had a tasty cappuccino. We would stop by again on our way through town. May be dangerous to live too close to the place because all the bread looks amazing. read more
