One of my very first reviews needs some expansion in order to provide justice of the highest quality, because Bradbury's is of the highest quality! Food, coffee, tea, everything food an beverage related is worthy of SIX stars! Yep...I went there! The coffee offerings are all local - bulk options too if you'd like to take them home with you. Now to the piece de resistance (well, pieces): These savory scones. I CANNOT rave about them enough. They have been personally recommended on more than one dozen occasions...I almost don't want to make the suggestion out of fear that the scones will be gone each time I stop by. JUST SO DELICIOUS. Go and have one, two, or ten!!! Then, bring me a few (pretty please?)!!! Straight up brewed espresso. NO ONE IN MADISON DOES IT BETTER. Caramel-y, syrup-y, FULL of flavor, and served in cute little brown cups, with saucers, and your side of selzer water. Yep...this is how espresso is traditionally done. And in this case, I am completely okay with traditional. To the point RAVENOUS, actually!!!! Space is still problematic. But everything else makes up for it. However, it's kind of the "Bradbury's point" to be small, understated, letting the product do all the talking. The staff is always chill, friendly, joking, fun. Your marching orders: Get your coffee, crepe and scone LYFE at Bradbury's, and do it as soon as possible!!! It's for your own good. read more

Cozy yet quaint coffee shop! I got a caramel latte and you can tell it was made with high quality. Would definitely recommend for a quick caffeine fix. I'll have to try the crepes next time. read more

Bradbury's - Caramel latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

BESTEST CREPES. ME LIKEY. I've experienced quite a few...multiple times... These guys have mastered the Art of Crepe. Yes. It's a thing. Spot-on thickness. Splendid texture, akin to the dense-quality of a good pancake, yet not so doughy. Plus they've got an oh-so-delicate sweetness that allows for versatility as far as making these beauties sweet or savory. *Dark chocolate, caramel, sea salt crepe - FAN-frickin-TASTIC. My most-ordered crepe from here. The one that I dream about at night. I no lie. *Pumpkin mascarpone pecan crepe - SEASONAL, sigh. *Lemon curd and whipped cream crepe - in the words of my dear, econ-majoring friend: "THE TANGENCY!" (for the mathaphobes out there - this is code for: she loved it) *Apples and caramel and pecan crepe - one of their greatest. (certainly on par with the dark chocolate one I crave every waking moment of my life) the sugary deliciousness of the caramel...with the sweet crunch from the apples and the indulgent flavor of the pecans - love. *Smoked prosciutto spinach parmesan scrambled - this is the one savory crepe I've dabbled into, though this was my friend's order so I only took a few bites. Tasty nonetheless. As far as beverages: I've had their peppermint tea. Check mate. And their chai latte can't be beat. The Art of Crepe carries over to the Art of Latte/latte art - they've got this down man. Delicious AND beautiful bevvies. Basically, I love you Bradbury. One of my favorite spots - to study/chill/gastronomically indulge - in Madison. read more

FREE DOUBLE ESPRESSO EVERY MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY IN FEBRUARY?!! CAN YOU TELL I ALREADY HAD MINE?! Well, I stopped back in here on pure instinct. And, yeah... I got a free double espresso and a crepe with egg, kale, mushrooms and blue cheese. The crepe, I purchased. The espresso x2? Freeeeeeee!!! You have to drink it in-house which is easy; it's a nice, sunny place. I tipped the friendly staff an extra ton for such a great offer. Good tipping karma is real. REAL, I say. It's still February (I think?). Need a jump start? Stop in here, and tip your counter folks, please (runs off screaming). read more

Bradbury's is a fabulous spot. I also love the location. Bradbury's has an excellent Ham and Gouda Crepe that is just at another level. The staff was attentive, quick, and very pleasant. I must say, I'll certainly be back here. read more

We love it here. The food is incredibly delicious and well thought out. My husband chose this place for his birthday brunch yesterday and we had an amazing meal. For starters, their coffee is excellent. I do not drink coffee, and enjoy a decaf latte every time I come here. On the other hand, my husband is a coffee fanatic and ended up purchasing espresso beans to take home. Then - the crepes. Wow. The choices are few, but excellent. We each got an entree crepe and then split a dessert crepe. My husband got a ham, egg, Gruyere, buckwheat crepe with whole bean mustard. I got a potato, spinach, egg, and Parmesan crepe with a carrot cashew pate on top. For dessert we got the dark chocolate, caramel, banana, pecan crepe. The service is friendly and the space, although small, is well optimized. Plan on a bit of a wait for seating for larger parties. Seating is somewhat communal, which is nice. Well worth it! read more

I love a good cup of coffee, and when I heard that there was a place in Madison serving up coffee and crepes, I had to try them out. I had just spent hours at the children's museum around the corner so I REALLY needed a pick-me-up. I stopped in with my preschooler son and my mom, and my first thought was that this place was tiny. There were some college students on laptops and I drop in with a 4-year-old. I honestly felt bad for all the noise I knew he would make. I ordered a mocha and a Nutella/Banana crepe. Service here was horrible. My order took forever to come out and the person at the register was a little rude (probably because I came in with a 4-year-old). My crepe tasted pretty good, but I really wasn't a fan of the coffee...or the service. I wished the location was a lot larger (and maybe not located around the corner from a children's museum). read more

Wow. That's what you'll say after you experience Bradbury's. My fiancee loves the coffee here, but I am such a fan of their crepes, which are very original. They kept changing their savory crepe menu, so I had to keep going back to try them. But the sweet crepes remained relatively constant. I can't give any recommendations here because all the crepes are amazing. It definitely wouldn't hurt to try them all. Though my fiancee's favorite is probably the dark chocolate, caramel, and sea salt sweet crepe. You can kind of make a meal out of the savory crepes, but it's not the same deal with the sweet ones. They are relatively small. I usually go for one savory and one sweet whenever I'm at Bradbury's. The only thing keeping me from giving this place a full five stars is because of the cramped spacing and the super long waits. If you get hungry, the long waits kind of kill you because the crepes are, as I mentioned, kind of small. read more

The rumors are true. The crepes here are out of this world! I had the ham, baby chard, smoked gouda, egg and mustard crepe and the honey, butter and sea salt one. O.M.G. The savory crepe was just what I was looking for. The ham was high quality (it was textured, moist and flavorful) and the gouda was gooood-a. I liked that the "cracked egg" was spread all over the crepe and cooked that way, cause it made for a great, fluffy texture! The sweet crepe was the most satisfying salty-and-sweet dessert I've ever had. Buttery, melt-in-your-mouth goes well with salt. My only complaint here- it's way too small! I imagine it gets pretty crowded on weekends. I'll be back for crepe heaven! read more

The coffee is still excellent and the crepes still good. This is one of the few places I can drink the drip coffee black. On the savory crepes, they serve fried eggs sunny side up or over easy - the way all eggs should come - instead of asking you how you want it. This might be a bit snobby for some, but for this runny yolk lover it is the intelligent choice. Seasonal ingredients like sprouted lentils and rainbow chard are tasteful and nutritious. Also, it is a breakfasty place open past 2pm on Sundays. +10 points, Bradbury's! A small warning about the honey butter sea salt crepe - if it's too salty for you, don't finish it! Or you might find yourself on Google later, "what to do when I've eaten too much salt." read more

I tried the chocolate caramel crepe and it was suuuuper good, very rich though. Some of their savory crepes come topped with buckwheat, almost making them like a blini! They also have great chai tea and staff:) read more

It's true, among the Lazy Janes and the Marigolds, I often forget about Bradbury's for breakfast/brunch but after my last visit, it is permanently etched into my morning meal radar. True, the place can be cramped (hence the deduction of a star) and it can ooze hipster but the food and coffee is spectacular. Let's start with the coffee. Roasted by Kickapoo Coffee, the drip coffee was some of the best in Madison. For coffee purists, there are also options for pour over, french press, Japanese siphon, etc. Now, onto the crepes. They are divided into either sweet or savory and I tried one from each category. The first was a dark chocolate, caramel, and sea salt piece of decadence. The flavors blended well together...the richness of the chocolate and caramel cut into by the sea salt. The second was a crepe filled with roasted beets, chevre, spinach, sunflower seeds topped with a fried egg. Again, Bradbury's hit the mark. With the focus of locally sourced ingredients paired with great coffee, you can't go wrong with anything put out by the kitchen, read more

I lived about 2 minutes from this adorable little place for over a year before finally stopping in. And, oh, man. Why haven't I come before! Great hours for the early weekend (and weekday) risers (open at 6:30), and rotating crepes means that you always have to be on your toes when you walk in. There are of course always the usual savory and sweet types, but they vary a teeny bit. Once I finally set foot in here, I think I went three times in three weeks. Each time, their savory crepes (not a huge fan of sweet things) were great! I loved the details. Microgreens, whole grain mustard, fixins in the middle of the crepe so you're not pushing all of the good stuff out the end as you're moving across. My two downsides: 1) Price. It's fairly expensive for how small it is. Iced tea refills are $1.50 if I remember correctly. 2) Space. If you get there at the wrong time (anytime between 9-12) with more than two people.. get ready for a long and tortuously delicious smelling wait. My iced tea review: The best in Madison. Hands down. Complex without being too heavy, refreshing but flavorful. I would get this year round... if they served it when it is cold outside :( read more

Great crepes, fun atmosphere, friendly staff. All the things I love in a coffee shop. Throw in an excellent location and it's outstanding

Every city needs more places like this. Crepes (sweet and savory), coffee, and brews in the fridge - perfect. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with friendly service and you have a perfect breakfast or brunch spot. I had the brat crepe, which...yes, you heard me correctly: brat crepe. It comes with...um, why do you look so confused? Of course it was freaking delicious! The brat + sauteed onions (which I substituted for the sauerkraut) nicely complimented what was an absolutely perfect crepe. The addition of an over-easy egg on top was like a cherry on a sundae, and the spicy mustard on the side was the chocolate syrup. The pickled zucchini was a very interesting and creative side. I don't often like pickled items, but this was real tasty. Wait, are you heading there to grab this amazing culinary creation right now? Well, better check their website to see what their offerings are, as this isn't always on the menu. But you should go regardless, as I'm certain anything they make will be delicious. You'll be sure to find me here the next time I'm in Madison. read more

I've been to Bradbury's quite a bit since moving to Madison and it quickly became one of my favorites - afterall, it's across the street from my apartment.. and I won't argue with convenience. However, even if wasn't steps from my residence, I would still swing in here often due to convenient street and off-street parking options (parking garage or children's museum). The coffee here is pretty damn good, and if you're a moderate coffee-drinker like me, it's potency will have you set for the rest of the morning. If you're going to eat here, I recommend going with any of their sweet or savory crepes that they're known for. I was hooked on the Dark Chocolate and Door County Cherry crepe for the longest time... but it has not been on the menu the past month or so. I inquired with the fella behind the counter and he told me they had some issues with a few cherry batches recently, so they pulled it off until they can get the cherry supply issue resolved. I hope it comes back soon! After you get your coffee, don't expect to have lots of elbow room or a place to spread a newspaper out - the seating area is tiny and cramped. If you come in during their busy times, you will certainly be bumping elbows with fellow patrons, who, by the way, skew toward the "hipster" demographic. But hey, this is Madison - it's impossible to avoid here. I love the 2-seater table they set outside at the corner of their cafe.. however, it's tough to claim unless you get there early in the morning (like I do)! Speaking of hipsters, the people working behind the counter probably fall into that category as well, but I don't find them to be snooty as some other reviewers have indicated. Unless they're busy, I've always found them to be courteous, friendly and smiley. Wait times are reasonable considering the crepes are all made-to-order. read more

What a neat place. Even at 10 on a Monday morning it was incredibly busy. To see them making drinks and a preparing crepes in that space was truly astonishing.

My chai tea with almond milk was really enjoyable and my husbands latte was silky and delicious without any bitterness. read more

Cute corner coffee and crepe shop. Service was friendly and fast. I enjoyed the savory crepe of the day - ham, cheese, arugula, egg and some delightful whole grain mustard. I was expecting more of a fried egg on top than a thin layer of cooked egg inside the crepe, but the dish was still really tasty. I will return to try another crepe next time I'm in town! read more

The crepes were delicious, and I was impressed with the unique fillings in the savory crepe I ordered. The fried egg on top was a nice touch and was cooked to perfection. The only regret my husband and I had was that we wish we would have ordered a sweet crepe to split along with our savory crepes. It seems like a cool atmosphere, but the seating in the middle is really awkward. Sharing a table with a bunch of random people didn't bother me, but the seats were a weird/uncomfortable height, and it felt really crammed. I would opt for a window seat next time. This is a good place to go alone or with one other person, but I wouldn't recommend going here with a group. read more

Dark chocolate banana caramel pecan crepe is delicious! Perfect choice to satisfy your sweet tooth in the morning. I complemented my crepe with a chai latte which was also very tasty. For those of you who need an extra umph in the mornings, you can mix in an espresso shot (which is free mon-thurs). The ambiance is very laid back with a hipster vibe. The place itself is small so it can get crowded very easily. Overall, great place whether it's for a quick bite or to get some reading done. read more

Well we came in here cuz yelpers rated it high. We r on a road trip around the US and really wanted some good food. My order: sausage kale eggs and cheese crepe with a hot apple cider. My BF order: raspberries, lemon curd crepe with French press My crepe was ok the big chunks didn't mesh well with the crepe and was hard to eat. The price was crazy high for such a small amount of food! My apple cider was really just nuked apple juice! WOM = waste of money His crepe came with a little friend :) A BUG! And the "organic" raspberries were moldy :( the super lowkey and kind staff made him a new one with banana instead. The second crepe had even less fruit then the first. What is it with crepe places charging high and then skimping on the amounts. I'm still hungry.... The French press tho was great and you get alot :) ahhh one good thing :) Wisconsin so far... Crappy food and o so unhappy cows :( read more

I been here twice and both times this place is jam packed with people. It is a great location, right between the capital and lake mendota and offers an amazing selection of sweet and savory crepes as well as great coffee. and I must mention, that is saying alot because coffee isn't even on my list of favorite things. but, what is, is Lemon curd. this place makes some oh so very delicious lemon curd and put it on a fresh crepe with some whipped cream? i'm sold. The staff is also super friendly and efficient. Each time i went I was greeted and additionally given the extra mile of service with them asking if i needed anything else and even packing my crepe to go. And thus so, this place has my business. It is a little pricey in the sense that it is not McDonalds coffee, but the prices match starbucks and the taste here is way better than that. happy morning coffee drinking! read more

Fresh coffee, a crepe (sweet or savory) and sitting looking out to the intersection. A perfect start to the day. The place is TINY and is set up with more communal type tables along with window bar seating. So if you don't like getting cozy with your neighbor (when it is busy) pick a different place. It would however be a shame because they do make a mean cup of coffee. They've got a guest espresso on every week. The crepe menu changes weekly, sometimes daily, completely based on what's fresh and available. The crepes are the best I've had since spending 2 weeks in France. The prices meant seem high but the same with the coffee they are consistently the best. Not overly cakey but not too crisp either. With just the right amount of filling so everything can shine. When ever they have one with a fried egg im game. The runny yolk ends up being the perfect sauce. They also got scones and muffins too if you fancy them. read more

Bradbury's is the perfect combination of a small, cozy coffee shop with natural light and a feeling of space and cleanliness. The floor to ceiling windows on three of the four sides of the coffee shop let in lots of sunlight and are perfect for reading or people watching. In regards to coffee, I ordered a cappuccino -- it was just slightly smaller than expected, and there wasn't as much steamed foam on top as I would like, but otherwise, it was good. Also, Bradbury's has the advantage of being a few minutes walk to James Madison Park, so after a few hours of coffee and doing work, I can walk over to the park to just relax. read more

I've been here 3 times spread over a couple years because I don't make it to Madison much. Had a great experience both time. The last time I was in, I asked about their espresso options, and got a good explanation from the male barista. I didn't chose the one he recommended, and he proceeded to question my decision and make his case again. I really appreciated how invested he was in my experience, and accordingly felt like I would be a fool not to trust his judgement. I was quite happy with my cortado with Bows and Arrows (I think) beans. I was so satisfied that I ordered a black coffee from them (same roaster) to go, intending to save it for the next day because I didn't think I would make it back. It was delicious too. read more

The crepes here were fresh and good- not the best, but pretty good. It is a small space but it's open, airy and clean. I am giving this place 4 stars after debating giving it 3 stars because the crepe stuffed with tomatoes, mozzarella and bacon, topped with a fried egg, was really, really good. My own crepe was good, but not amazing- I wish I had ordered the tomato/bacon crepe! My own ratatouille crepe was just OK, nothing spectacular, and pretty plain. I got their iced chai which was good, and their "sweet" crepe with the dark chocolate, caramel and sea salt was just OK, not as caramely as I would like. read more
