We are a friendly neighborhood gathering place whose “neighborhood” encompasses the whole of Madison.

We are a from-scratch bakery with fresh breads and pastries every morning.

We are a bustling little café serving breakfast and lunch daily.

We are proud of our menu, which includes the best quiche in this City (!), sandwiches using top quality ingredients on our homebaked breads, an amazing array of soups, and a few specialty items that stem from our own heritage (red-wine braised beef brisket with hand-formed spaetzle every Friday; challah bread and bialys…)

We are a family-owned small business in which the entire family is an integral part.

We have cooked wonderful gourmet breakfasts at the Collins House Bed and Breakfast, and catered high end parties for over 20 years; finally we have a place to share our foods with a much broader group of people.

We are filled with the warmth and welcome of a home: rich-colored walls, comfy overstuffed chairs, and a soapstone fireplace, but have modern conveniences that you seek during your busy workaday: free WiFi, fabulous lattes, and friendly service.
