| - Madison Sourdough is one of my favorite places to start the day in Madison. The simplest of foods shine here: a simple slice of toasted multi grain bread with a side of peanut butter was one of the most satisfying breakfasts I've had in the past year. Two eggs ordered sunny side up were prepared to a level of perfection I've never seen in restaurant or home kitchens. Soy milk comes at no up charge and is offered in pitchers alongside 2 percent and whole milk options, which means Madison Sourdough earns a spot on a select list of Madison establishments that don't charge extra for plant-based preferences.
(Side note: I understand the economics of stocking soy milk v. dairy might make it financially advantageous to charge more for soy milk, but I consciously bring my repeat business to establishments that choose otherwise.)
The ambiance underscores the simple-but-excellent ethos with cement floors, wooden tables, and huge windows to let in natural light. Again, when starting my day, light, clean, and simple is is what I want.
My friends like coming here for the quiches, salads, and pastries, and I'm happy to join them for a breakfast composed of my simpler fare. With my bike benefit sticker, we save 10% on our order. MSco feels like winning so many times over that I stopped counting the wins.
Note: It is quite busy here on the weekends around brunch time. Any good breakfast place should be, though, or it won't stay open for long.
