      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 :)

      great brunch spot with super yummy bread! I've come here twice since posting this review - the first time I dined in which was a great experience. there was a line which extended out the door but it moved decently quickly. i ordered the ranchero pork sandwich, the almond croissant and a lavender lime spritz(?). once you order, it's pretty much open seating wherever you'd like. the food was prepared quickly and served to us in no time. i enjoyed the pork sandwich but the bread did end up getting soggy from all the sauce so just be mindful of that if you order it. the almond croissant was SO DELICIOUS, 10/10 would recommend.

      the second time i ordered online and got the croque madame along with the almond croissant again. the croque madame seemed good initially but i felt like the sauce was a bit too poignant/sharp for my liking. i couldn't really eat half of the bread because of all the sauce on it. other than that, the salad was good as well as the almond croissant! would likely come back again in the future to try out some of their other dishes

      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!

      One of the best cakes I've ever had! I highly recommend the vanilla butter cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. Madison Sourdough has a great team, which made placing this cake order really easy. It was fun to customize this birthday cake for my mom by choosing the filling, cake texture, and design. When I went to pick up the cake, it was hard to not order a pastry or baked goods while I was there. Fair warning, when you walk in the door the fresh bakery smells will distract you. They have great indoor and patio seating. I can't wait to try their breakfast and lunch!

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
