I was born and raised in California and being able to eat sourdough bread from San Francisco with a hot cup of clam chowder was such a treat. It never occurred to me that when I moved to Madison that would all go away...
But that all changed when I stepped into Madison Sourdough. Definitely the best sourdough bread I have had since moving away from CA.
In addition to their amazing loaves of bread, the food that they make here is so delicious! The Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon is what I usually get, but I don't think you could go wrong with any selection that you make.
They have a large space with a lot of seating, but at times it can get a little loud when the place is packed. You'll be too consumed with stuffing your face to really care.
