My partner and I love bloom bake shop! Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for, and I am a big fan of their sweet potato donut is delicious! Lots of gluten free options available as well! There is always going to be a long line out the door, but it is worth it!

We sought this place out as we passed through the historic city of Madison. Your dreams of safe, delicious sweets come to life here. Everything inside is Gluten Free and they also have several Vegan options. They specialize in artisan chocolates and coffee and baked treats. You won’t regret the quick trip from downtown!

This my family's happy place! The atmosphere, staff and selection of treats is always so inviting. As a celiac, I love the safety I have of choosing anything I want without question. My family (even my slightly picky husband!) will very happily let me know when a gluten-free item is not up to their non-celiac standards, but this is never the case here. It's the first place they want to go to celebrate something special, or to get some one on one time. The coffee is fabulous and their seasonal drinks are so creative. I don't know how they do it, but they have the sweetest, most conscientious staff. Several friends and family members insist on a stop here whenever they visit. We adore this place.

Cute place with a clearly labeled menu for gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. Many options for all of them. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and patient with questions about food allergies. I felt very safe eating here with celiac disease and even enjoyed chilaquiles for the first time in 20 years! It was full of flavor and freshness! Fresh squeezed orange juice too! My favorite breakfast I’ve gotten probably ever!

Not safe for celiac! Cc is extremely high!

The gluten-free breakfast burritos basically got me through COVID. Delicious potatoes, eggs, cheese, bacon. They are best enjoyed on the shores of Lake Mendota with the accompanying salsa.

amazing food! lovely atmosphere - upbeat and wowing decor. an amazing array of beers wines and bloody mary’s as well. if you come, start with the traditional frites (fries) and blackened garlic ranch aioli sauce - fantastic! plus for anyone that is gluten free or celiac they have a dedicated gluten free menu - woo hoo!

Cassidy Meyer

Ashley Wendt

Nice little college coffee shop. They have some gluten free options too which is nice. Always very quick and friendly service.

Great allergy options! Very impressive for this Gluten and Fod Map free gal! Would really like to see a menu in Spanish, at least online. I have a hard time finding the menus at this place. I think they could place them somewhere more obvious. Sometimes service is rock star, other times it is a 4 star. Parking is a real issue for when I try to visit. I think I would go more if I could figure that out.

WHO WROTE THOSE GLOWING REVIEWS?? It’s rare for me to leave a restaurant feeling conned, but last night was one of those nights. Positives: We had a parking place right out front, which was great for the person with mobility issues. The tablecloths were clean. My bowl of pasta and chicken had a decent flavor. Negatives: $150 for two people - absurd.That decent flavor cost me $35. The prices are nothing less than exorbitant for what you get. The waiter was simultaneously pushy and absent - can I get a bottle of wine for the table? (The cheapest bottle was $90.) How about those appetizers? (Ugh, ok, if it will make my glass of wine come faster.) 10 minutes for a salt shaker. We struggled to figure out the chaotic multi-section menu, about which our waiter helpfully responded “I’ve already told you what I recommend so you can just order that.” And please, I beg you - if you’re going to extort me, stop calling us “guys”. Two “specials” on their own page, one of which was a $75 twisty slab of steak with a plop of greens next to it. Caprese salad: A handful of basil leaves on a plate with 6 grape tomato halves and an ugly hunk of burrata cheese (which was warm on the outside, refrigerator cold in the middle). Pear appetizer: Same basil leaves, pears in hot milk, something stuck on the bottom of the cute little cast iron pan. Can we have some bread? Oh, sure - and returns 10 minutes later with a seasoned pizza crust - I suppose it WAS cooked in the wood-fired oven, though. Red sauce tastes like nobody tasted it before they served it. Pizza options (which the waiter will tell you is not meal-sized, and by the way, they have a gluten free crust but it’s not good so don’t order that) so weird as to be downright unappetizing. Just. Awful.

Love this coffee shop in Madison on the Square. Our Go-to when we visit our Badger because of the gluten free cornbread...we order with bacon egg cheese and it's DELICIOUS. I recommend to all my gf peeps/groups. Used to be 2 slices of bread, but I think just the one slice is actually easier to eat. Bravo Wonderstate!

Kim Hinz

Wonderful vegan/gluten free food.

Tammy

Love their coffee and over the moon for their gluten free cookies! Thank you for offering GS items

Michelle Wolf

This is a great place to grab a coffee to go or stay to enjoy the coffee shop atmosphere. The staff was well-versed in all things coffee. I purchased a lovely whole bean Ethiopia for my home machine. There are gluten free options marked on the menu. I did not see anything really keto specific, but as helpful as staff was, I expect they could come up with something.

R Hodg

They take gluten free seriously. Will clean prep area for making egg sandwiches on gfree bread. As a celiac I wouldn't eat the gfree waffles though because they use the same waffle maker for regular waffles - which they made sure to point out. They have individually wrapped bakery items along with other gfree options.

Brooke Duckert

I absolutely adore this place, the staff is amazing and so is the food. The gluten free choices are amazing and plentiful. I love that the menu isn't in English first, but secondary. Wonderful atmosphere.

Located two hundred feet from the children’s museum. We stopped in at Bradbury’s after a fun filled day for a coffee pick me up. We ended up staying for the crepes. We ordered two pour over coffees and two crepes. They offer sweet and also savory crepes. The savory crepes are made with buckwheat. Being a gluten free family we ordered the buckwheat crepes with two different fillings. One being lemon curd and the other Nutella, banana, and toasted almond. Both of them fantastic! The lemon curd and Nutella are both made in house. When they say small corner bistro they are not joking. It is a cool little place with a surprising amount of seating. Friendly staff, great food and coffee. We also received complimentary drip coffee for the road. Both the pour over and drip were tasty.

Nice board game cafe. The GF and vegan menu items are marked

Lovely service, staff were supportive with cross contamination and I felt confident and safe eating toast and breakfast choices. Thank you to the staff for helping me with all my questions. Zebra coffee was delicious and so was the avo toast!

As a Madison grocery store, your bread game is really poor. I can go to HY-Vee, Woodman’s, Sentry, Jennifer street market among others and find great bread. Why is this? Step the gluten game if you wish to be competitive!

Veronica Figueroa Velez

Please add gluten-free options to your food menus. I love the CS and friendly staff.

Naomi and Corvin

I knew that I was in a good place when I saw the wall of Chemex brewers for sale. That was the fastest, lowest-frills pourover I've ever seen, and it was perfectly brewed! The coffee and tea are generously dosed, with lots of classic, high-quality choices for each. So glad I went with my gut and tried one of each. They even had a gluten-free cake available! 🤩 The proprietor was friendly and worked efficiently. Wish I'd had time to stick around and enjoy the funky ambiance!

Abbey Dove

So mellow, and great for working! They have great WiFi and nice gluten free treats along with regular bakery. I had a latte rather than kava, but it was a tasty, pretty latte! They have a lot of board games too, and the coolest cribbage board I've ever laid eyes on! Also some kinda elevated shuffle-board thing that looks fun.

Francis Derousseau

A charming place, filled with charming people. They have excellent food and cater to us gluten/dairy free hoomans. There's a nice dining space with lots of natural light but the best part is their outside seating. It's a huge yard that always seems to have different birds and animals chillin out there with you. I love it.
