    KitKat donut!
    Bailey B.

    Visited WOW Donuts on a trip out to Madison to hang out with boyfriend's sister. We wanted something sweet and local to Madison since we don't make it out here that often, but since it was Sunday, a lot of options were unavailable. Thankfully, WOW Donuts was open till 1 PM, so we excitedly opted for that. Located in a small shopping center, the inside of the shop is decorated super cute. There's a small seating area and you can order at the counter your choice of donuts or a couple of other pastries, as well as kolaches. Service was polite and helpful. It was about a dollar a donut, which is about on par with other places around here. We got two chocolate glazed and one KitKat donut. Boyfriend and sister both enjoyed their chocolate glazed. Sister remarked that the body of the donut actually tasted like a nice, fluffy, sweet bread, rather than just straight sugar. I agree with her assessment. I opted for the KitKat donut and found the chocolate frosting/glaze to be pleasant, not too saccharine, and nicely proportioned. The KitKat added a great and fun crunch to the donut, and it was big enough such that you could get a nibble of KitKat in almost every bite. I'm not a huge donut fan or frequent connoisseur, but these won me over! They had a small but reasonable selection around noon on Sunday. I'd be interested to come back and try something else if I had the time and found myself in the area. I also know they do really beautiful, unique donut boxes for birthdays, Valentine's Day, etc. Their frosting/glazing/icing work is quite beautiful!

    Wow, these are some of the best donuts in Madison. Such a great selection and the staff was wonderful and kind. The interior was super clean and so beautifully decorated.

    Walked in and had great service. We got half a dozen doughnuts and some doughnut holes. They are super light and had a selection to choose from. Was hoping to get a cinnamon roll, but that just means we'll have to go back!

    As a former dessert chef I can tell you these donuts are INCREDIBLE. Don't listen to the people who complain about them going stale really fast. Fresh made sweet bread without preservatives is meant to be enjoyed right away so if something stales fast, that should be an indicator that it is really made fresh. The croissants are the best I've had in a long time. They're light and airy with that perfect crisp crunch on the outside. The cinnamon rolls are also a favorite as they were the perfect balance of bread, cinnamon filling, and icing, and they weren't overly sweet. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the plain glazed donut holes as I normally don't go for plain glazed. There's a hint of vanilla which just makes them superb. Every single donut I tried was excellent. The lady at the counter was so nice and helpful and I will definitely be supporting this small business again.

    Went late in the day on a Sunday so it was slim pickings! Good for them! Thought the interior was clean and cute. Tried the Twix, plain, peanut topped, sprinkle, and Apple fritter. The fritter was probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. The perfect amount of crunch and softness with the best icing. Will definitely be back when in town next!

    Twist, sour cream, blueberry, fruity pepples, maple, KitKat, apple, and many yummies.

    We had our one year old's cake picked up this morning at 9am. The order was placed in advance…read more While the cake isn't terrible... the price and quality just don't match. The color is wrong, the wording is not where it was discussed. The wording itself is wrong. We were told we could pick it up as early as 6 but opted for 9. Her party started at 10. She arrived at 8:50 and she was told the cake wasn't ready. They were rushing to do the lettering on the cake. She did finally get it at 9:20 but with her being 19 she was not going to point out the defects. She waited to get with us, adults, so we could address it. They did show her the cake as they quickly boxed it. So they didn't ask her if it was right... Realistically they wouldn't be able to fix it. The color is supposed to be light blue but I suppose turquoise is close... smh. This would not be easily corrected and it's fine. It would have just been nice for them to do what was discussed like the lettering around the base because our daughter's name is too long for the top. I like how they wrote it over the decoration even though this was not supposed to happen. Oh! And instead of "Charlotte's First Birthday" it's "Charlotte first birthday" in poor condensed font to fit it in. The cake isnt terrible but I expect better quality for $80. It isn't what we wanted. I did call them and let them know but again, what can they do. I'm including photos. I would have rather pay a fraction and order from Publix. They never do me wrong. And while it's more basic I get what I ask for. We did get cupcakes too. They turned out ok but it's a real disappointment about our daughter's first cake. Not the end of the world but a disappointment I'd like to spare others from if possible.

    Stopped in early to grab some breakfast and a few goodies before leaving town. Loved the hometown…read morefeel of the bakery. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. French Toast was excellent! Huge portion size. Cinnamon rolls that I brought were a hit as well. Only negative feedback was with the 12 count assorted homestyle cookies. Cookies were very crunchy, in my opinion a little over baked. Great experience, great area, with a very welcoming environment.

    This is just for the bagels. The good Parking is plentiful and easy in and out. The bagels were…read morepretty good you can tell they were prepared in the traditional boiled manner that results in the chewy outside texture. And they offer just enough Schmear as an extra and will toast it for you. It is a quaint place that offers a place to hang out for a while. The staff was cordial not overly friendly and seemed really focused on the tasks at hand. I would have liked to have had a better breakfast bagel sandwich selection as that is what I was looking for but most of the offerings were on toasted bread.

    I still like this place and have even gotten "real food" there…read more Pros: Staff are friendly! They nicely ground the bag of (overpriced) coffee I bought with zero complaints. The breakfast sandwiches and BLT are decently executed, but I'm REALLY not a fan of their bagels. Their bread (particularly the baguette) is fantastic, though. Note: it sells out quickly. You can still pick up your to-go order without having to deal with people. They now have a cute bookshop inside. They make their own cream cheese! Cons: If I'm paying $1.50 for an avocado add on, PLEASE don't let it be oxidized and brown and gross. This makes me sad. Parking is still a nightmare. See above about the bagels. I'm prepared for the hate I'm about to get, but I prefer Bruegger's...which is sad, as I'm sure they're produced and come in frozen. Prices have gone up, but that's to be expected. I would love, however, the option to not add on a side for less moolah. I don't want their straight from the bag chips, random baby carrots, or (somewhat icky) fruit. Depending on the timing, you may be able to get a seat. Or you may be fighting a soccer mom with 4 screaming toddlers just to pick up a to go order. Still a fan, but know what you're getting.
