Main & Madison is one of my all time favorite cafes! Everything I have had there has been delicious; Lavender Latte, London Fog, the peanut butter filled cookie is an ABSOLUTE MUST! Fantastic service and super adorable building. My friend had a bridal shower there and the staff was so kind and helpful! Biggest downside is that lots of people know it is amazing, so it can be hard to find a seat if you go during the really busy times, like Saturday morning read more

This place is super cute and you can tell it's a well oiled machine with a hard working staff. I had the cherry amaretto latte and a blueberry lemon scone. Both were really good. When they're super busy it's a little awkward as you stand there for awhile holding your pastry while you wait for your coffee. If you order anything that's not a pastry, they bring to your table. But, will definitely be back. Great stuff. read more

I've heard so much about Main and Madison, but only this month did I finally make it during their open hours. Like much of downtown Franklin, the charm is in the re-use of the building. I don't know the exact history of the lives these walls have lived, but it's some old house that's now living its life as a great little breakfast spot. There is more seating upstairs, but pro tip: if you get a coffee or pastry with your sandwich, don't go upstairs first even though they hand you a number. That's only for your hot food. (My only complaint is that I wish they had made that clearer to save me the embarrassment.) Also when you're done, there are taller tables that are for your dirty dishes - they should have bussing buckets but didn't on this trip. Or I guess you can leave your table as is and someone will clean up. Another "wish someone would explain this" as it isn't super clear what the right thing to do is. Clean, cozy, and great food - everything we had was excellent. I'll definitely make my way down to Franklin in the mornings again! read more

Love this place! Seriously yummmy chi tea latte and i'm super picky as i only drink chi tea lattes. Super cute shop as well! The lemon blueberry scone is delightful along with the pecan cinnamon roll. Was impressed with both options. Wish they had gluten free options because i know they would be super yummy ! Service is alright a little slow but i did go at a time where they were really busy! read more

Main & Madison Market Cafe - pecan cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - Franklin, Indiana

Madison & Main is a trendy upscale coffee shop that serves sandwiches and salads. Their signature pastries are mind blowing - huge, beautiful and delicious works of art. The building is interesting because it was the first hospital in Franklin over 100 years ago. They have renovated the structure and the cafe is downstairs and a work space is upstairs. The staff is super friendly and will walk around filling coffee cups and chat. There is a real small town feel with lots of positive vibes. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Prices are reasonable. Food comes out quickly. I had the chicken salad. The salad greens and tomatoes were fresh and the chicken salad very good, with lots of nuts and creamy chicken. My husband had a seasonal pumpkin danish that was the size of a Frisbee. The crust was buttery and flakey. He loved it. We parked near the courthouse and walked. I think there is closer parking across the street. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Delicious, but way overpriced in my mind. The place is cool with limited seats inside. Service was okay, I asked how a few things were and the cashier said she doesn't eat there so she had no idea. Weird. read more

We were traveling through and stoped here (about 2 miles off the freeway). It was such a delight! Friendly service, great food, and atmosphere. Strongly recommended. read more

Went here while I was on one of my adventures. Greeted with a smile and the cashier was patient as I asked questions about what teas they serve. Very busy place, yet I found a spot on a stool over by their space where they have various merchandise such as tees, fresh local peanut butter and candles to name a few of the items. When you order they will call out your name for you to grab your drink and if you order food you will be given a number to place in one of the wood blocks spread throughout the shop. Even though it was busy the spot I sat seemed away from all the bustle around me. Everyone is helpful and when you finish they will take away your dirty plates and cups. My only complaint is that I live further away and only get to go here once a month or so... The quiche and fruit cup are very good. They also have cocktails that I will be back to try another day as today I just got a London Fog Latte. read more

So many good food options for a brunch or a lunch! The coffee was amazing not to mention how different it felt from a Starbucks. I loved this little corner shop to start my day with. I got the lemon blueberry scone while my group got the breakfast sandwich and the quiche which they said were quite delicious. The service wasn't fast but wasn't slow. We got our food and drinks to go. The drinks were pretty fast in coming out but the food came out to us in pieces for a to go order which was quite confusing and we almost left without the quiche since it came out separately... I would definitely suggest eating there as it has a great vibe and then you don't miss any food that comes out in pieces. The staff were very nice and kept the line going as we visited when they were starting to get slightly busy. read more

Absolutely stop at Main & Madison if you are in the area! Beautiful interior and delicious food. Every staff member was friendly and kind, despite many customers to serve. Parking is a little busy, as it is in the downtown area. Be prepared to wait for your order...on a Saturday at 12, it took about 25 mins from the time we ordered for the food to arrive. Everything was absolutely delicious, but this isn't the place to go if you are tight on time. read more

Cute coffee shop in downtown. I love sitting on the patio and people watching. Staff always friendly and helpful. I've only had aa sandwich and it was good. Love the coffees and the cute to go cup read more

I had lunch with friends at Main and Madison. It was such a cute place. We sat upstairs and I enjoyed the tomato soup and a carmel latte. The latte was delicious! The soup was so good and came with some type of scone/ bread. I will most definitely be back. read more

We really enjoyed our visit for a light brunch with family! It is such a quaint spot with plenty of room for seating. Especially, with the upstairs area! You order at the counter, and there is plenty of people to make your order. It might be easier if you look at the menu before getting in line. There are several options, and if you don't know what you want, the line can move slow. All of the food we had was great and the coffee was fantastic. We will definitely visit again! read more

Seen this place advertised on Yelp so put it on my places to try. This morning I took my granddaughter here for breakfast. I got the vanilla latte and the bagel ham, and cheese. She ordered the croissant with chocolate inside. I also ordered the 7 layer bar. Total was $27. Wow I was surprised$$ The place is very nice looking inside and definitely hip. Close to Franklin College. They also serve Bloody Marys and wine. Not sure I will go back but only because of the cost. I was very disappointed when we left from eating inside we forgot our 7 layers bar and the other half of her chocolate croissant. I wanted to eat it later. read more

Great place and great coffee! I also love the ham and egg breakfast sandwich! A great location in downtown Franklin.

This is my go to spot for breakfast/brunch in Franklin. They have delicious pastries, food and coffees and the best tea lattes. Today I got a rose latte, a half and half/salad soup combo for 13.99. The soup was a deliciously spicy sweet potato. The soup came with a smaller everything bagel scone which was another moist scone. Tasted like a homemade biscuit- slightly sweet. The salad was the Thai bowl. It was a huge serving of both. Got to take most of the Thai bowl home as the servings are pretty large when you get the power bowl (a Mediterranean treat!) or the Thai bowl. Thai bowl was grilled chicken, edamame, kale, carrots, Brussels sprouts, onions and a vinaigrette. We also split a chocolate cherry scone. It was moist and delicious. Seriously I have never had anything bad here. read more

Yummy sandwiches and soups and baked goods. The quiche is pretty good too! Service is friendly, love the atmosphere.

Cookies are my favorite treat and I get one most places I go. Stopped in here for an afternoon treat and got a chocolate chunk cookie the size of my head. My husband and I split it and it was so mixing. Rusty edges with a soft center with plenty to share. All their other pastries and drinks looked great too! read more

I was recently in Franklin and found this little coffee and pastry shop. Main and Madison was a bustling place when I stopped in there on a Saturday morning. There is public parking right next door to the place but it was full though I did find street parking. As I walked in the counter to order from is on the right and you choose your own seating once you place your order. They had a variety of pastries in the case as she walked up to the cashier. They also had a few breakfast items on the menu and also some soups and salads and sandwiches. I absolutely could not resist the brioche sticky bun! It was as big as my plate. They also had a special of the day of raspberry mocha and I chose that as well. They made my mocha and set it on the end of the counter next to the cashier I picked it up and walked back to my countertop seat. The sticky bun was very tasty nice thick fluffy brioche bread covered in a pile of pecans how can you go wrong? The raspberry mocha was very forward in the raspberry flavor and thick and tasty as well. I am glad I found this place it is just off of Main Street. I did not finish that bun and took the other half home to my hubby. I will have to stop here again and try some of their other menu items. read more

Madison & Main is a terrific little shop in the heart of the downtown Franklin area. I love the history of the building which was once the first hospital in Johnson County. The exposed brick in the interior and nice patio outside all works wonders for a great aesthetic. The pastries are massive. It's a spot where you could share with another person and still be content, or complete fill a very hungry individual. While the price for the pastries might be higher the size makes it easily justifiable. On my most recent stop I got one of the giant cinnamon rolls. It was massive and tasted amazing. It was soft throughout and no bite didn't have some delicious cinnamon sugar mix. I love the icing which seemed more whipped which I loved as it added a lightness to it. The service was quick with minimal wait time. I was able to ask the cashier/worker for their recommendations and they offered to heat up the cinnamon which added another level to it. If you're on the south side of Indianapolis or passing by Franklin, a stop here would definitely be worth it. read more

What a lovely little cafe! Great space for meetings, working solo or with another colleague and grabbing pastries, coffee or sandwiches.

I tried Main & Madison for the first time this week and it was amazing. The breakfast items are made in-house and my latte was delicious. The service was great. The girls up front brought our order upstairs and they checked on us throughout our meeting. Ambiance was awesome. Looks like a coffee shop in the Swiss Alps. Will be my new meeting spot. read more

It is always a treat when I am able to spend some time at Main and Madison. Great place to spend some alone time reading or getting some work done. I love that the iced beverages are served in Mason jars! Prepare for this place to be busy. Today, I witnessed a line longer than I had ever seen, it was the length of the place! Lots of employees keeping busy and getting people taken care of. They would repeatedly stop to make sure I didn't need anything or to grab my trash. There isn't a dedicated parking lot for the cafe, but an open public parking lot across the street along with street parking. This place is a Franklin gem! read more

This historic doctor's-office-turned-coffee-shop is located in the center of Franklin, Indiana's beautiful, well-kept downtown. The exterior is gorgeous and makes you want to go inside, no matter what they're offering. We walked inside and it's just as beautiful inside. The wood interior feels like a cozy cabin and there's even a porch out front. They have a big counter of freshly-made pastries, as well as a breakfast, coffee/latte, and cocktail menu. I got a yummy ham and cheese croissant and my mom got an egg sandwich, which she claimed was the best she ever had. I also loved that they have a mini marketplace that sells local goods such as Chocolate for the Spirit toffee (pricey, my absolute favorite of all time), B. Happy Peanut Butter, Newfangled Confections' Frittle, Best Boy Mustard and more. The staff are all kind and this place is open to all people of all ages. There's even an upstairs event space and street parking out front. Enjoy! read more

I ordered the quiche and it came burnt. So I paid $13 for a blackened quiche. The table that we sat at had not been wiped off, even though the busser was running around, trying to do tables and not doing a very good job mind you. I watched him literally wiped the table next to our and not move the number block, even though there was a lot of wet whatever around it. I guess if you just don't care and you like the nostalgia of an old building and what not I guess it'd be OK to go, but don't do the quiche not an Enjoyable experience. read more

This spot was definitely worth the hype and build up I had created in my mind in the weeks leading up to my visit. It's true, this spot is five stars all around. Here's why: -Conveniently located one block off of the main square in Franklin and down the street from the Historic theater -Beautiful repurposing of a historic doctors office with unique touches like tile work, original wooden floors, high ceilings, and a beautiful small venue space upstairs -fun and creative coffee menu featuring seasonal specials, strong cold brew, and classics. -I am experiencing some serious regrets are not purchasing one of their gorgeous pastries or cookies. I especially had my eyes on the stuffed peanut butter cookie. They make all of their baked goods and House and offer at least a dozen options daily. From danishes to sticky pecan buns, you're certain to find something gluttonous and delicious. -plentiful outlets making it a great spot for remote work and meetings -easy free parking on the street out front -very friendly staff who are eager to share the story of the space and products available - charming outdoor space with tables overlooking the street read more

We stopped in here on our way to a Columbus Yelp event. I'm glad this was suggested for the drive down because it was so good! I frequent the art craft theater and it's right across the street so it will be easy to find. I had the Italian Fizz and WOW! I will certainly be back for this and all their goodies! The drink reminded me of a really great shower punch, you know, like the ones you get at a baby shower or wedding shower. It was SO good and refreshing. I got the blueberry danish to split with my mom that was with me and that was fabulous too. We went through the line and had to circle back around for the 7 layer cookie, the blondie brownie, and the peanut butter stuffed peanut butter cookie because thought we would regret it if we left and didn't try the stuff we were drooling over. It's always cool when little coffee joints have more than just the coffee-- these fun drinks, teas, sweets, breakfast sandwiches, local beer and wine, etc. Will 100% be back next trip to Franklin! read more

Main and Madison is my local coffee shop and it is phenomenal! All of their espresso drinks with their unique syrups are delicious and yummy. Their pastries are works of art that are gigantic and enough to share! The building itself is also beautiful and the cafe has all the cozy vibes you want when hanging with friends for coffee or wanting to get some work done. Their order ahead with curbside pickup is a very nice service they offer which I took advantage of often during the pandemic. Place your order online, pull up near their front doors, call the number from your online receipt and quickly their coffee and pastry goodness will be delivered through your window! Main and Madison also doesn't accept tips. Any tips they receive are donated to local charities! read more

I had a great morning visiting Main and Madison this weekend. I was impressed by the variety and quality of the bakery selection, all made in the basement of the business I think - based on all the hot pastries being brought up from below by the employees. I got a bacon, egg, chive gallett, which I haven't heard of before but would describe it kind of like a savory danish (but no cream cheese). The crust was fantastic and the bacon, egg, chive was spot on, with a soft (not runny) egg yolk and crunchy bacon. I also got a latte, which was good but not the star of the meal. The barista did a good job steaming the milk (even good latte art!). After breakfast, we had a slow stroll around the Franklin town center. What a great morning! read more
