Everything Else

This is our favorite bakery in Madison and maybe even the whole world. Anything made with their croissant dough is divine and they have great drip coffee. I've never had a bad Batch treat.

Drinks & Nightlife

Mickey's is one of our favorite neighborhood bars, partly because of the vibe and partly because their food is delicious. If the sun is shining, try to grab a spot on the cozy patio.
