There is a feeling of rom-com when I am in a small town. Sitting by the window inside the cafe, admiring the architecture of Main Street. This is my second time visiting this restaurant. I like the vibe inside and the simplicity of the cafe. To order, is by the front counter. The customer service is great and the staff was able to accommodate my coffee request. I had the breakfast sandwich and Lavender Miel latte. It was a good combination. This is one of my favorite places to dine when I am in Wisconsin. read more

It's been a few years. Im bumping them up a star given how many mediocre restaurants there are now in the Madison area. This one is a more solid choice than a lot of what is out there. Plenty of breakfast options. Prices are as high, if not higher than Madison though. Appreciate them having Madison Sourdough Company bakery items. It makes it easy to just grab a couple of great bakery items to go. read more

I stopped by for Bingo on Wednesday morning (10 am with fun prizes like candles and plants!!) What a fun breakfast spot to grab a bite and a drink with friends! They have treats from Madison Sourdough company and a ton of other options for breakfast and lunch! Easily accessible parking, tons of, booster seats for children, outdoor seating, and a relaxing environment that's friendly if you need to work on something. The staff was all very sweet and accommodating. More of a sit down restaurant than a grab and go but worth the wait! I will definitely be returning! read more

Stopped in to Old Town Coffee House on a early Saturday morning and you can park right in front of the entrance. It's a very open and good sized restaurant with a large table in the corner for our party of eight that included a couple of energetic little ones ! They have daily specials and i got the steak and eggs and it was good for a fair price. You order at the counter and they bring it out to your table . Locally raised beef hamburger is also for sale. Service was fast with plenty of help! read more

I have been here twice now, and it would get a 5 star from me both times. The food here is incredible, and a place that is worth visiting if you are in the area. I got the eggs, bacon, and pancakes the first time as a safe option. All was very good and they give you a big portion size! This time I got the cordon bleu skillet.. and OH gosh, it was amazing!!!! I some reviews that the service was really slow, the first time it wasn't as busy and took a little longer for us to get our food. However, the second time was a lot more busy, but we also got our food faster. They were well staffed the second time and was a reasonable wait time for food. Go here if you love big portion sizes and delicious breakfast :) Pro tip: If you ask for a to go cup with your coffee order, you can take some with you on your way out. read more

First time visit. Looks nice and tidy. Kitchen area visible and looks clean as well. An Eggs Benedict is being awaited. Something to make or break a good breakfast. Coffee arrived quickly but not in a Togo cup as requested. Server girl is very attentive otherwise. Coffee is not particularly good. This isn't Folgers but it also isn't Starbucks. After seeing order completed and watching the servers clear tables and other side tasks I watched for about 3-4 minutes before I walked up and requested it myself. The other server, I'm thinking owner or Mgr, she promptly brought it over as well as gave me a to go cup. Nice. The potato's are outstanding. Eggs cooked nearly perfectly, though a teensy bit too long. Probably because of the residual heat as well as time under lamps. Hollandaise is ok, I'm undecided if it's homemade. All in all, the best E. Benny in ages. Three stars because I had to remind them. And another because overall it's darn tasty, but not perfect. :0( read more

Olde Town Coffee House - Eggs Benedict - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cottage Grove, Wisconsin

Great food, friendly staff and located right next to the bike trail! Baked goods are delicious and made fresh. Great homemade pie selection!

I think that places that don't season or brown any of their food should have mandatory warnings. There is a certain brand of people that really enjoy eating an overpriced wet mess, but the rest of us should be given some heads up. Olde Towne Coffee House falls into that category. Maybe we can start calling them "cafeterias" since that's what they are. The type of place where you order at the front and then pick a table that will inevitably be next to a family of 16, of which 5 are children that insist on screaming everything they say. The type of place that gives you a mug to get your own coffee with that comes from a gas station carafe and is so unreasonably hot that spilling it on someone could be considered assault with a deadly weapon, and tastes like dirt. The type of place that has the same menu options as every single other breakfast-serving restaurant in America, including the classic "We'll fry two eggs for you and it costs EIGHT WHOLE DOLLARS." I got some kind of skillet. Have you ever thought to yourself "Man, these scrambled eggs are tough" in your life? I hadn't until coming here. There was something that was supposed to be cheese in there, but it was more like melted glue but with less flavor somehow. The potatoes had the consistency of having been boiled by someone who gave up about two-thirds of the way through. The only flavor came from the little nuggets of sausage that were very clearly just cut up bits of cheap frozen breakfast sausage. I tried to at least salvage the meal by putting jam onto my toast, but every single table only had marmalade and peanut butter. Baffling. read more

Don't even have words, this is by far the best breakfast joint I've ever been to!! These chefs deserve all of the praise in the world, I can't say enough how good my omelette was. This is definitely the Madison areas BEST KEPT SECRET. please give this place a visit, you won't be disappointed! read more

My family and I have just recently moved to Wisconsin from Arizona. This has become my favorite place for lunch. It's close to home. Clean. Decent food. It's a place Im Comfortable taking my four year old and one year old. The staff is friendly. It's a very laid back lunch spot. I like that it's kind of homey feeling. Thanks for a good experience! read more

A cozy spot with friendly staff, good service and delicious food with a menu that has something for everyone.

Mediocre food. Got the Mediterranean omelet and it was like they just opened a bunch of cans and dumped on eggs. Latte was not good either. Biscuits and gravy I can make better at home. Breakfast potatoes were also lacking in flavor. Will not be returning. read more

A-OK is pretty much on target for my thoughts on this place. It was a cute restaurant and seemed to have a healthy business which is nice to see after the closing of Heritage Cafe in Madison on Cottage Grove Road. I had the fiesta wrap with fruit. Other side options were waffle fries and cottage cheese and I appreciated the selection. The wrap was fine but far from a party in my mouth. I was hoping it would be a bit more spicy, but understand they probably have to cater to milder tastes. Next time I'll try something else. I imagine Old Town Coffee House probably shines at breakfast. Next time I should consider doing that although I feel I can probably make a healthier choice with lunch. Finally, service seemed a little slow but that could simply be because they were pumping out the entrees and since I was by myself today, I didn't have conversation to pass the time. read more

Went here for breakfast on Saturday 2/5/20. I am on a low sodium diet and the two young ladies that were working bent over backwards to accommodate me! They were so considerate and kind in my needs. This is the most accommodating I have ever had someone be in a restaurant since I had to go low sodium almost three years ago!! Amazing service and awesome food!! BRAVO!! read more

We stop here every time we're traveling through. We love love love this place!! Today, my wife and daughter had the chicken pot pie, and I had a ham frittata. Both were delicious. We added Cinnascone and a gf blueberry muffin. Yum And the coffee is always delicious! Great place for a highway stop, as well as a great place to hangout for awhile! read more

Visited for brunch last week. I had the bacon avocado skillet. It was soooo flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend it.

Coffee was extremely good and the employees were super nice! A good amount of seating and it's a nice location.

Best cafe in town! I absolutely love the scrambler. And the staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Probably one of may favorite places, if not my actual favorite place, to get breakfast in the Cottage Grove/East Madison area. The breakfast potatoes are impeccable, and the service and quality of food overall is very consistently good. Favorite dish is the Spinach and Bacon Avocado Skillet (which is of course served over those killer potatoes). Highly Recommend to anyone from town or visiting who is looking for a place to get a good cup of coffee and satisfying meal! read more

En route out of town we stopped at Olde Town for breakfast. It is a quick serve casual type place... order at the counter and your food is brought to the table when ready. We were a little put off by the lady at the bakery counter. She didn't seem to know if the items were made on site or not. Eventually she said that they are baked "downstairs". The lady taking our order was nice and food was brought out promptly. The food was just ok, nothing fantastic or exceptional to warrant more stars. It was fine, and they allowed us coffees to go, so that's a plus. read more

Don't go here if you are in any sense of a hurry. Slow, slow, slow and they just want to talk to the regulars. Coffee was ok but not worth the wait. read more

Olde Town is open during COVID for takeout! I ordered breakfast and it was only 20 minutes for three orders. I got classic eggs, potatoes, toast, and added a side of sausage. The potatoes are the best always! Another classic was ordered but with a side of bacon. Bacon was crispy and a hit! A scrambler was ordered and was well liked! Also, they have local grass fed beef for sale. I bought a pound of it and plan to make burgers with it! If you're local, check out the breakfast! & if you aren't local, check it out on your next visit or when passing through. read more

They have great omelets and I love the veggies included in the side of potatoes. My latte was okay. I definitely enjoyed it but it wasn't like the best or anything read more

Pretty good breakfast. Only go a couple of times a year, but it's been good every time. Best place for breakfast in town.

This is a cute little spot! We went in around 11 a.m. on a Saturday and the place was really dead...which is always kind of nice when we're eating out with the kid. I ended up getting their chorizo Benedict, and it was pretty good! It wasn't AMAZING, but I would eat it again. My husband did like his corned beef hash, but it was a little weird looking...like they didn't finish cooking the potatoes. It was almost impossible for him to eat with a fork because everything was slippery on his plate - if they had browned the potatoes more it would have been perfect. I really enjoyed my cup of coffee and the lady working was nice. We would definitely stop in again when we're in town! read more

I think the food here is great. It's by far the best quality fresh food that you can get in Cottage Grove. The food is not your average boring bacon n eggs. They have a lot of differant meals with fresh fruits and vegetables incorporated into their breakfasts t. ruuits and veggies. They have so many different varietys of freshly backed breads, pies n doughtnuts n frw Eshly makes donuts read more

Met a colleague here for a business meeting breakfast. It was my first visit because it's not exactly close to home. The cafe is spacious and clean with lots of natural light and comfortable seating. They had free wi-fi and most excellent self serve coffee. The menu is diverse enough that you'll find something pleasing to your palette. My eggs were cooked perfectly. The baked goods looked beautiful but I didn't try any of the six types of pie they were offering. Even though I live a distance away, I'd consider bringing my family for a fun adventure and delish meal. read more

Whenever I'm in town for work, I make a point to eat here. The coffee is always hot and fresh, the meats and cheese they use for their salads and sandwiches is so delicious and the bakery items are no joke! I haven't had their breakfast yet, but I hope to someday! The wifi is good, so you can get work done over your meal if you need to. It can get pretty busy during lunch, so be courteous and don't take a large table I you're a party of one! And get a cinnamon roll. They are divine and as big as my hand! read more

Breakfast is wonderful! I'm in love with the avocado skillet! Potatoes are amazing as well

Food good, service slow...but I will not return. Concern for customers is abysmal.... the cashier's mask never covered her nose and she kept pulling it down sending a message that vulnerable customers don't matter. read more

I have had lunch here twice and both were delicious. Reuben was very good. Fish sandwich was humongous! I am not a fan of waffle fries but there are several sides to choose from. Their home made soups are very good but I was not fond of the chili. It was too spicy for my taste. A friend ordered the Mediterranean omelet and said it was very good. It was loaded with veggies including artichoke hearts..several large. The service is very friendly and the portions are "Wisconsin sized". Ya, hey. So for me there is always enough for another meal. I have not had any of their homemade desserts but I was nearly tempted to order pecan pie yesterday. It looked SO good. If you have time to shop there is a wonderful gift shop next door called SPLURGE. They have many items I have not seen anywhere else. Right now is everything Christmas. Gorgeous ornaments, floral arrangements and gifts. read more

Best pie in Dane County! Great service and good food. Veggie Benedict is my favorite item on the menu.

Stopped here for some air conditioning and a quick lunch before my daughter's game at a nearby field. Ice tea was fresh brewed and strong- fabulous. The rustic ham sandwich was very tasty with high quality ham and cheddar cheese but the fresh fruit was off. After a bit I realized it smelled like fish. It happens, a cooler spill or bad cutting board. Told the waitress and she was very good about it. I didn't really want anything in return, just asked for more iced tea. She came back to my table and insisted I have a piece of pie. It was amazing! Really good pie is hard to find and that and the customer service really made this a pleasant stop. read more

This is a good place to drop in for a to-go coffee. I had some time to kill and was needing a caffeine fix. Olde Town is set up primarily as a diner with booths and tables with just a small area of couches for lounging. The price for standard brewed coffee was very affordable with their large (approx ~24oz) clocking in at $1.95. I'd like to try this spot again for a meal, as it seems like a popular spot for local residents! read more
