I visited Greenbush Bakery just two days after they moved across Regent Street. I love the new place! It's way roomier than the original store. There is seating inside and out. Same rules apply people...GET THERE EARLY for the best selection!!! We dropped in at 10:00 a.m. and thought there may be Apple Fritters available, but no. There were Blueberry Fritters so we snagged one. We were extremely happy with the Blueberry Fritter. It was soooo huge, the paper plate disappeared underneath it. We were shocked that the fritter WASN'T too sweet! And the fritter consistency was sooo delicious. Mmmmm I appreciated the big selection of cold drinks and brewed coffes. Nothing like a carton of milk with your fritter. Perfect. read more

All I had was one cinnamon roll. It was AMAZING. Very light texture but also nice and fried it appeared? Not too sweet- they didn't put the typical thick white glaze. Just right. And pretty good value. read more

LOVE ME SOME GREENBUSH. I'll let the bakery speak for itself, so just go visit!! Located on Regent or the east side here's what you should get: - any of the cake donuts -any of the fritters (be wary that these are definitely enough to share with like 4 people, but so worth it and microwaves nicely for bfast the next day) read more

Very wide selection of doughnuts available (even at 7:30 pm). Got a variety and tried their old fashioned, cake doughnut, plain glazed, and cinnamon roll. The cake doughnut was surprisingly not too dense and the glazed doughnut was super soft and chewy. Absolutely recommend! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning around 9:30am. The line wasn't too long (6 people or so). I decided to try the apple fritter. It was $5.50 and it's HUGE! It was very nice, though I prefer my fritters to have some good hunks of apple in it, and this one did not have that. I would love to come back to try their old fashioned donuts :) read more

Wow, this place makes some good donuts. I stopped by around 10:30 this morning to grab some donuts just to try out another local place. The two employees behind were very polite and apologized because they were "pretty wiped out". There were some frosted donuts and GIANT fritters. I was told there were also some old fashioned of multiple different varieties in the back. Once I told them I had never been there, they told me that the classic old fashioned and blueberry are two of their most popular varieties of old fashioned so that's what I got. Whew, the classic is one of the best old fashioneds that I have ever tried. Crispy on the outside, light on the inside. Just fantastic. The blueberry is also very good, but that classic is the highlight. read more

Hands down the best donuts in Madison. I love their glazed old fashioned, and can probably eat a whole dozen of them in one go! They're just out of this world. The chocolate old fashioned is good too, but a bit too chocolaty for me depending on the day. Their apple fritters are also to die for. I knew they were known for them, but wasn't planning on buying one since I'm not too much of a fruity dessert person, but they had samples put out, and I was taken in by the first bite. Just dense enough with the right amount of cinnamon, and only tiny bits of apple. Really good overall. I had to force myself to share it with my friends so I wouldn't eat it all myself and die of a sugar coma. They've changed their prices now though, its $1.15 for a single donut and $12 for a dozen. Apple fritters go for $5.5 read more

First of all best donuts EVER. They are crisp on the outside and so soft on the inside. The frosting flavors are perfect. Not too sweet or overwhelming!! The store is clean and neat. The customer service is top notch. I'll be back as much as possible. Donuts again can't say enough. Breakfast lunch and dinner ...maybe snack time too read more

Greenbush Bakery - Holy yummy - Bakeries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Best place to get donuts in Madison - maybe even in Wisconsin! They don't sell novelty donuts, but they're great at making the basics. My favorites are the Boston creme and jelly filled ones, but their old fashioned donuts never fail at pleasing the general crowd! Best of luck finding parking though. While they have parking alongside the road, you can't park there during rush hour. It makes me miss the good ol' college days of living in that area and walking over to Greenbush every weekend. read more

Best donuts in Madison. The old fashioned donuts are amazing. My favorite is the blueberry old fashioned, but every flavor is great. You must try their apple fritter. It's bigger than your head, so it's definitely one to cut up and share with others. They have free street parking in front of the building, and a few spots in the parking lot behind the building. read more

Amazing variety of donuts available, staff was very friendly and gave suggestions. Loved the blueberry maple best but everything we picked was delicious! read more

There's really nothing other to say then these donuts bring complete happiness to my heart. Ever since moving to Madison these have been my absolute favorite. All of the donuts are freshly baked every day and they have a huge variety. All of the staff is always so friendly when I come in and super helpful. My personal favorite is probably the cake donut with vanilla sprinkles on top but then again their blueberry cake donut is also at the top of my list... and so is the blueberry maple.. I love them all read more

A sweet Madison staple! I've picked up donuts here numerous times and I haven't been disappointed yet. I like the new location! It's brighter and more visible in my opinion. If you specifically want a box, they only have it for a dozen and up. They have such a variety of donuts in flavors and textures, from ones that are more dense to fluffy ones and filled, plain, frosted etc. The staple favorites for me is the oreo and the ones with chocolate frosting on top. I love the filled ones -- that little sweet, creamy filling in the middle brings my joy. The chocolate frosting is surprisingly not overly sweet either! I also love the seasonal ones -- the last one I had was the pumpkin pie filling that had hints of spices within and it was the exact depiction of what fall would taste like in a donut. read more

My niece and I had a wonderful visit to Greenbush Bakery on a Friday morning. They had clearly been busy so the choices were a little limited- but still many delicious options. My niece chose a chocolate frosted donut with sprinkles, and I chose one topped with oreos and also an apple fritter. The apple fritter was absolutely incredible, and the donut was very good as well. The service was excellent- they were so nice and patient with my niece- letting her pay, getting her donut stickers, and generally doting on her :) Currently, there is no seating inside, but there was quite a bit of outdoor seating that we were able to use. I will definitely be back here on my next visit to Madison! read more

I went there again because my husband is coming to visit from overseas trip their donuts are the best in Madison . For the international students If you are looking for good bakery like me Greenbush is fabulous. I strongly recommend it they use Soil oil the staff are very friendly specially the lady who I met this morning . Definitely I will come back with my husband next time ,thank you Greenbush. read more

My friends have been raving about the donuts here. I'm so glad I finally went to check it out. The donuts were definitely to die for. I really enjoyed their old fashioned "cake" type of donuts. They weren't overly oily or overly sweet. The variety of donuts was nice to choose from. I'd recommend going in the morning when their donuts are warm and fresh out of the oven! You won't regret it :) read more

Love their fritters!! And always have great choices of doughnuts !!! Can't go wrong here!

Selection always seems limited even when they open early in the morning. Quality of the donuts are ok but I wouldn't make a special trip from the westside of town just for their donuts read more

Disappointed! Bought two overpriced apple fritters without one scrap of apple. Threw them away.

Quality of donuts: 9/10 Variety Available: 2/10 My biggest complain is - 1. They never have plain donuts. Everything has to be topped with a garnish & it's a little excessive. Plane Jane is still in style, y'all! 2. They NEVER have a classic long John donut. It's equally irritating and impressive. How do you not carry a classic donut!? I call all the time because it is my favorite and they never have it - or they make 6 and sell out first thing when they open. read more

Cute, clean place for donuts. Fast service. Not too many options to pick from, but we arrived around 10am. The apple fritter was enormous. The kids loved all the sprinkle options. read more

The Apple Fritter is the best in the whoooooooooole world LOL. It's definitely big enough to share and cut into pieces. At less than $6/pc it's a bargain. Oh and the donuts are classic styled - so none of those new age millenial b.s. they keep it classic and real. My fave has to be the Original glazed. read more

Good donuts, had a vanilla cream filled donut, was good. Looks like they're known for the humongous apple fritters but I wasn't that hungry, maybe next time! read more

One of the most exceptional donuts I'd ever eaten! It immediately melted in my mouth and I had ordered it at 1030pm. The cashier was very kind in listing all the flavors for me a couple of times and then had some more recommendations about places to check out while visiting. Also incredible pricing, I got 6 donuts and a carton of milk for $7! read more

Meh donuts. Cake donuts are OK. Miss Lanes Bakery wonderful yeast raised donuts already

Ok so donuts are super yummy enough said. But the service is what sold me on these guys. I ordered two dozen donuts for workers on Election Day. The night before, the building behind Greenbush sprung a leak so the store closed for clean up. I showed up at 6am and saw the closed sign and thought "oh well, no donuts today". But later my phone rang and it was the Mgr who said that my donuts survived. I couldn't go back to the store, so he brought the donuts to me. He didn't have to do that. I know it was a hassle especially when he had a store to clean. So I really really appreciated that extra effort. Go to Greenbush, have a donut or two and say thank them for saving democracy!! read more

This place is THE BEST DOUGHNUTS ever. I've been to many places that were a lot more expensive but half as good. Everyone who comes to visit has to eat here. There's parking out front. The doughnuts are $1. And the most amazing apple fritter ever. It probably weighs 2 pounds. This place is crazy. Thx old fashioned, the Oreo, the Apple pie filling, all are unbelievable. And not to mention the apple fritter. You have to come. You will not be disappointed. read more

Hands down, THE best donuts in Madison! And the service? Damn. The cherry old fashioned is my favorite donut of all time. I was sad that they moved, even though they didn't go far. Memories of stopping by as a kid makes this place nostalgic for sure. Things change all the time downtown, but as long as we have Greenbush, we will be just fine. read more

Heard a lot of good things about the apple fritter but did not realize how huge it is! About 5x the size of a normal donut. Donuts are super affordable here. Still, I had to get the apple fritter. Great with a cup of coffee. Love the crunch of the sugar glaze, softness of the dough and juicy bits of the apple. Nice doughy flavor and highly recommend. This might be my breakfast for the entire week. read more

I don't know why you'd get doughnuts anywhere else. These are really great doughnuts, possibly the best I've ever had. They're very fresh and the store hours are great. It feels kind of cheap giving a no-frills bakery five stars so easily, but they do deserve it. I couldn't do the doughnut justice by describing it, but in the age of manufactured supermarket and chain doughnuts, Greenbush's are a real treat. I recommend trying the "popular" ones first and branching your way out. read more

Greenbush Bakery - Storefront at night - Bakeries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Greenbush is thee quintessential grab and go donut place in Madison. If I am picking up donuts to take to work and share, it's always Greenbush! The consistency of their products is unmatched. Each time I have dropped in to Greenbush, the workers are very friendly and patient, as I drool at the options. Typically, I go with a mixed dozen donuts and folks are pretty happy. For the quality of product and size of donuts, the prices are right on (about $1/donut). I have tried their apple fritter, which many people have commented that it was as big as their face. I can confirm that. It was crispy and perfectly fried. I would have liked a few more apple chunks but, I was impressed by the crisp of a fritter so giant! Need to feed a crowd for breakfast?! Check out Greenbush Bakery for all of your donut and face-sized apple fritters! read more

One of the top donut places in Madison. In the county. The state! THE WORLD!! I've tried nearly every kind of donut they offer multiple times, and there I are only maybe three I wouldn't recommend. The mammoth apple fritters remain a mystery. Not that they offer them--they obviously must continue to sell--but rather that they don't offer individual sized ones. Every time I bring it up, the staff gets this look like, "Yeah, we know. We hear it all the time. We agree." Run don't walk to Greenbush Bakery! read more

Phenomenal donuts! I have been here so many times and it is always delicious. It's right below Regent Apartments so the people living there are super lucky. If you can time it and get there right when they finish a batch, you will have the most heavenly experience. Even if not straight from the fryer, it will be delicious. Highly highly recommend. read more

GIGANTIC APPLE FRITTERS- I knew I had to stop by and check those out during my trip to Madison. They are also open 24/7, which is a huge plus. We stopped by around 9:30pm on a Friday, and they weren't busy at the time, and still had a large variety of different donuts. I just wish the donuts were actually labeled- they have a sign with the different varieties, but you had to guess which donut was which, or just ask the people working there. We ended up trying: -Raspberry Filled Rabbis Delight & Old Fashioned Blueberry ($1) [http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=lHp0KzCqf7rXh4rppQ0oug&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]: The rabbis delight was just ok- it was very dense, and there wasn't enough filling in my opinion. However, the old fashioned blueberry was very good, and had great blueberry flavor- recommended! -Apple Fritter ($5.50, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FRDJSbF5B7l77iSxp055hQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): The giant fritters are obviously one of the main stars here, and this is a must try! They were able to fry it well for the large size, and it had a good amount of apple chunks. The glaze was delicious. They also have a blueberry fritter and another flavor, but the worker said the apple is the most popular. They also had an Oreo filled donut and a few other varieties I didn't get to try. If I lived in Madison I would definitely be here all the time. Definitely worth stopping by to pick up breakfast for the next day if you're driving through, or vacationing here. Parking was easy since they have their own lot and we came later on in the night, but the lot isn't that big. read more

I used to live across the street from Greenbush which was unfair because they were always wafting beautiful aromatic donut smells into my apartment. (Literally always - they're open until 3AM.) The parking / outside area doesn't look promising, but it's a must try. They are very reasonably priced especially for the quality. They have the classics and some super fun flavors like sour cream old fashioned, apple pie filled, fruity pebble topped, pumpkin when it's in season, oreo, and more. They also have a little beverage selection and I'd always get a chocolate milk. The service is always quick, informative, and friendly. There isn't a whole lot of room to sit & enjoy your donuts there, but they have to-go boxes or bags depending on how many you're buying. read more

I've lived in Madison a couple of years and always heard about Greenbush, but I had never been until today. I can't believe the time and energy I've wasted eating donuts from anywhere else but here... Although it doesn't look like much -- they offer no frills or glam atmosphere -- this treasure trove is stacked with the most incredible donuts I've ever eaten. They don't taste over processed like grocery stores and some other chains -- these are fresh, dense and delicious. They have maple blueberry donuts that are absolutely delicious. I had chocolate, Oreo, classic sprinkles and they are all amazing. Did I mention they are so well priced?? A half dozen runs you about $5.50. If you're hanging out in Madison, I definitely recommend making a stop at Greenbush. read more

The lightest dough doughnut I've ever eaten. The staff is always nice and the outdoor seating is comfortable.

If you don't mind going to a place that's a little hectic, a little busy, and a little small to get your baked goods... this is the place for you. Regent Street isn't the easiest place to get to even for us Isthmus dwellers. It's busy and parking stinks and there's usually construction. However, it's totally worth it to come get your donut on at Greenbush. For sure the best Old Fashioned donut I've ever had. So yummy and fresh. They also sell other baked goods and they're all top notch. Before you even think about hitting up a franchise - support Greenbush Bakery! They are THE best in town. read more
