The questions are how quickly will I be back and how often! Good food and service make me smile. Walking in for my first visit, I was greeted from someone appearing from the baking area. She was friendly and enthusiastic about describing the goods for my first visit. So good, that I ended up with three baked goods all for me! They may have a giant Jersey cow out back grazing on sugar cane for all the deliciousness in each item. The quiche may have been the creamiest I have ever had tucked into to a flaky crust. The day old cardamom made a great afternoon snack. Each bite’s flavor profile was a mouth party. The Kouign-amann is decadent.

Where do I start. I had high hopes given the reviews but what I received was a complete opposite of what I was expecting. The pan au chocolate was the densest piece of bread I’ve ever had in my life. Completely lacked yeast and butter it appeared. What was this supposed to be? Unclear. It sunk in my stomach I had to wait hours to recover. Then on to the Kouign Amann—one of my most favorite pastries I’ve had in San Francisco. Again a total brick with limited lamination. Unclear this is the correct dough recipe? certainly unusual for a bakery. The flavors are there but unclear they are supposed to be this heavy and unproved. I’d give this place another try but not sure what to expect.

REALLY fresh bakery & DELICIOUS! Very nice woman took care of us early morning on 10-18. She took the time to explain what everything was. We probably bought more than we needed, but it was worth it!

An absolute delight! The pain noir are one of my favorite pastries in this town, and it’s a gift every time they’re available!
But if you go in and they’re not there, everything else is absolutely outstanding.
Low on cash? No problem! Grab some of their day old bakery items, toss them in the toaster oven for a minute, and they are still an exceptional joy. Kind staff, lovely space, highly recommend!

Drove from Minneapolis to Madison for the LunArt Music Festival last Saturday. Sunday on my back back for 2nd concert at WYSO, I stopped in at Far Breton for coffee & yum. Sitting outside, another couple, who can believe they were at the same concert. Nice spot.

This bakery is adequate, but they sold me burnt croissants. At $5.00 per croissant, the public deserves better.
I won’t be a regular customer here.

Holy $hit. Best cinnamon roll I’ve ever eaten. Freshly baked and warm, gooey and soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, perfect ratio of cinnamon/bun/icing. The other items I tried were outrageously delicious, too. AND they’ve donated bakery to the NPO where I work. Thank you, Far Breton!

Five stars for friendliness of staff and one star for quality. This was our first visit, and we really hoped to love the place after hearing about them on Reddit Madison.
We picked up 9 items yesterday/Saturday. The two raspberry galette we tried today tasted and appeared anything but fresh. One taste and we passed/tossed them. Went to the cinnamon-sugar morning buns, which looked beautiful. The centers had a kind of custardy/eggy-wet-dough consistency and flavor that was definitely new to us. Unsure if that’s a style? but we’re not custard/creme brulee/cooked egg people so two more hard passes after we again each tried a bite. Not knocking those in case they were intentionally made as such, but they, too, went into the bin. I moved on to a carrot cupcake. It was pretty good but again tasted and felt seriously (EDIT 3 mos later, missing word: *less*) than fresh. Even the frosting was dry. I’m a huge carrot cake fan and have tried soooo many. Loved or very much liked nearly all of them. Finished half of this one because I was hungry. My husband is reluctant to even try the (orange? lemon? we forget) cupcake that was in the cool case next to the carrot cupcake. The very nice person readying our items said it was “about a week old but should be okay because it’s covered in frosting.” I looked at my husband and he said he’d try it. So we bought it. I did not ask but more importantly they didn’t offer to reduce the price at all. After telling me it was about a week old. My husband thought the little shortbread cookies were good, and we both liked the seeded chocolate chip/almond cookies quite a bit. Bummer.

For the past couple of years, we’ve purchased 2-6 Far Breton Bakery croissants weekly from the Northside Farmers’ Market. Their croissants are delicious, but we decided it wasn’t worth putting up with the lack of respect and rude service anymore. In addition, the prices of the croissants also went up quite considerably. It was very surprising that despite being very consistent, loyal, and weekly customers, the owner (who runs the cart at the Farmers’ Market) never recognized us or acknowledged the fact we had seen her just a week before. We support the Farmers’ Market because we believe it is important to get to know your farmers/bakers/chefs/sellers to develop a greater appreciation for the food, people, labor, knowledge, resources, and care that sustains us. We shop solely at the Farmers’ Market for this recognition, rapport, and/or friendliness. For these reasons, we have moved on to get our croissants elsewhere.

OMG!!!!! French croissants, paine chocolat, macarons…..this LOVELY new bakery on the north side of Madison will transport you to France without the plane ticket! Delicious from the bakery smells emanating from the shop, every olfactory sense was on high alert! Glass cases filled with deliteful pastries transfixed the eyes. The key lime macrons were fresh and zesty, the croissant was flaky and buttery, the paine chocolat an other worldly chocolate sensation. A cute coffee cart outside completed the lovely visit!
