| - I used to live right across the street from this Brennan's, and only now do I realize how lucky I was to live right next to a place that provides such high quality products year around. Everything that I ever purchased from here has been very good. The produce blows every other Madison store out of the water, including Willy Street. The cheese section is awesome, because it carries a bunch of fun flavors, and a lot of them are worth checking out. The couple times I used the deli were all pleasant experiences. Also, they have great peanut butter; in particular the one with dark chocolate blended in is delish.
Apart from food, it's also a pleasant place to visit. The staff are very friendly and helpful staff who are often conversational. The place is often spotless, and I like the very open feel that the produce area has. The item layout is logical, and it's easy to find everything as the space isn't large by any means.
Even though the place itself and the products are great, I'm still only giving Brennan's a 4 for a couple reasons. Brennan's are good are what they offer, but they don't offer a wide variety of products. They don't provide very much items for baking or vegan cooking, and any need for brand name products will have to be satisfied elsewhere (which is fine for the most part, but there's a couple select items i'd like at times). Also, their hours aren't too expansive. I wouldn't call it inconvenient, because they're open at relatively normal hours, but I felt like a majority of my attempts to visit on Sundays ended with me finding out they were closed. Bit of a bummer. But, regardless, I still like to get some items here, and i'm very happy with what I get.
