I stopped in twice on a recent visit to Madison. Croissants are perfect, and the savory filled rolls are a nice alternative to sweet breakfast pastries. A slice of still-warm apple strudel really hit the spot this past cold, dreary weekend. Staff is super friendly, and the nice long counters along the windows are a good place to sit and... More

Stopped by during the week and got a raspberry lemon cream cheese galette and two salted caramel brownies. The galette was awesome for my late breakfast. I just wished I had a bit of coffee to go with it. The brownies my husband and I had for dessert later that evening. I’m kinda a brownie snob and these were amazing.... More

I stopped by Batch Bakehouse looking for cake. I tried the lemon pound cake and the gingerbread muffin. The pound cake was moist, not overly dense, with a wonderful lemon glaze. The gingerbread muffing was the best muffin I've ever had! It's subtle spice and sweet glaze are perfect. There's real ginger in the muffin! The muffin is moist and... More

Thank you for your review. I am so glad you enjoyed your bakery, we are proud of what we bake at Batch Bakehouse. The gingerbread muffin is seasonal... so you won't see it once it's hot outside. No worries, though... there are plenty of amazing summer seasonals too! More

When it comes to made-from-scratch artisan breads and bakery treats, the Batch Bakehouse can't be beat. I love the scali and ciabatta breads. You can either find them at Willy Street Co-op or place a special order if you need something baked fresh for a special occasion. Simple high-quality ingredients, nothing artificial. HIGHLY recommend.

I really like this bakery, very small and cute and the baguettes are quite good. My only complaint was that I had an enjoyable cookie once, and then I got it again and it wasn't very good.

The Batch, on the very end of Willy Street, has the best croissants in town. Flakey on the outside, buttery- soft inside. Whenever I want a breakfast treat, that's where I go.

Have stopped at this bakery every weekend for the last month. We always get their demi baguettes, and s treat for later. Great food and great people behind the counter.

This is a wonderful little bakery with a lot of choices. The chocolate croissants, orange swirl rolls and assorted breads are top notch. I'll be back.

Perfect croissants, delectable morning buns, cookies and cakes and delicious breads. Walking into Batch is an experience in itself, with a beautifully stocked bakery case and fresh breads on bakers' racks. But once you choose your pastry or bread, the taste is even better. Each item is made with care, great ingredients and by skilled hands. You will not be... More

The vanilla swirl is my daughter's favorite! All their breads top my list. And a few moths ago Batch donated bread for the local school auction - great on so many levels.
