I had just left Children’s hospital with my newborn. I sat in my car for 20 minutes staring into space, so full of emotions but unable to physically release them. I knew I needed coffee, something routine to help me feel somewhat normal. I usually swing through Moka, always on the go, moving too fast for my brain to keep up – but today was different. I needed steady. I needed slow. I needed to allow myself to sit with my thoughts and process life for a minute. I pulled up my map. I searched for “restaurants with coffee near me” and scanned through the list. La Brioche appeared. “True food,” it said – and that’s what I needed – truth. I headed to the restaurant and went in with the car seat. I immediately knew God sent me here. The decor was so comforting, a cross between grandma’s house and fine dining but the bakery cases and smell of homemade cooking made me feel right at home in my sweatpants, oversized sweatshirt and the look of lack of sleep all over my face. I was seated at a booth and gave myself time. I kept my phone upside down – so bothered by the lack of empathy in the world with the Super Bowl controversy. I ordered and enjoyed a double miel, spooned the froth into my mouth quietly and slowly – watching the cinnamon swirl around and peeking on my baby tot in his seat. I ordered the biscuits and gravy special – and it was Devine – from the presentation, to the portion size, to the incredible flavors of the mushrooms, onions, seasoning and creamy texture – it was absolutely wonderful. I observed the gorgeous tabletops, the beautiful wallpaper, the incredible light fixtures – a display that allowed me a sense of calmness and joy, it was all so thought out and intentional. Pride of ownership shines. I sat a booth away from another woman with a newborn. Thankful to see I wasn’t the only one braving publicity with a small baby. I felt so comfortable. After enjoying my meal and taking deep breathes holding back tears from the hospital visit, the grief of my last week of maternity leave, the world in general, my waitress brought me the most gorgeous looking dessert and said it was on the house – congratulating me on motherhood. Pastel de las tres leches. How could she have known it was my absolute favorite dessert in the world? She couldn’t – and that was all I needed to see Devine intervention. A “God wink” if you will. A hug from the universe in the form of a sweet treat. My waitress and another came over. They congratulated me and awed over my baby boy – not knowing how fragile I was in the moment but lovingly and unknowingly holding my broken pieces together – because postpartum emotions are so damn real – and so damn raw – and oftentimes unable to be seen or noticed. All 3 of us of strangers and of different ethnicities having the most loving moment together. One mentioned how many little babies have been in lately, how beautiful it is to witness, and I described how my body was reacting while the newborn in the booth next to me would cry – how incredible the woman’s body is after childbirth. And she said the most incredible thing in that moment bringing all the emotions and events full circle for me, “Isn’t it amazing how truly connected we really are?” ❤️ And it is amazing… so damn amazing… thank you, La Brioche, for allowing me to feel how truly connected we all are in such an odd time in history, and for helping me get through today. I will never forget how you made me feel, and I will always, always come back.

Amazing place with delicious food and treats! Visited for brunch on a Sunday and the setting was beautiful. Pianist was playing, place was busy with a great vibe. The breakfast plate and bear claw were out of this world. Service good also. ❤️

My mom and my favorite spot since I was a baby, when they were located on Midvale Blvd. I remember standing on a stool to watch the bakers decorate their cakes through the window. I have endless lovely memories of brunches here with my mom, family, and friends. ⛲️
The lemon hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict is to die for. The quiche is creamy and fluffy. My mom adored the Albanian skillet. Fresh squeezed orange juice and a chai latte are delish.
Beautiful interior design, unique tea kettles, and a peaceful patio with a bubbling fountain make for a delightful, classy, cozy setting. Servers are kind and attentive. Truly a beloved Madison staple to my family and I!

My first experience at La Brioche was okay. I gave them 5 stars to be nice but with the service we received, it should have been a 3-4. After my second experience today, I changed my rating to a 1 star, which is being generous. Our food was barely cooked, we were charged for cheese we did not receive, there was no pepper on our table and we could not flag anyone down to get us one, so we grabbed one from another table. The service was so inattentive there was no water refill or asking how things were. About halfway through our meal, the host asked if he could move a table against ours so when we left, he could seat a 6 top. We obliged and then felt like we needed to rush. Right before we left a manager noticed what happened and then asked if she could move the table back. We paid and decided we will not be returning to this location.

La Brioche is just as busy as Marigold Kitchen, despite not close to the square and having much more ample seating.
The quality of the food is consistent. Everything from the pastries and the coffee to the breakfast tacos and made-to-order egg scrambles are top notch every time. Very reasonably priced, which is why this place is so busy.
You have to get used to the service not being great. Long waits to get orders taken, few check-ups, takes forever to get your check, etc.
La Brioche is a solid brunch for a lazy Sunday and the food will not disappoint. However, if you are in a rush or nit-picky about expedient service, this likely isn’t the place for you. And this place is never quiet. You can have a pleasant conversation but quiet is never a good adjective to describe the atmosphere.

I don’t know, but it’s cozy and feels like a visit home. I have been going to this restaurant since the early 2000s when La Brioche was located near the the old Sequoya Library on Midvale. Back then it was just a single room with a bakery.

I wanted to share the wonderful experience I had hosting my neighborhood ladies luncheon at La Brioche last Tuesday. Thirty-five ladies experienced prompt and friendly service. The food was terrific, many ladies thanked me as we left an hour and a half later. Many more thanked me days after. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite spots for brunch! I highly recommend the Vanilla French Toast with banana and pecans. I loved it! The Pumpkin Spice Latte is perfect. This is the perfect place to visit every weekend, definitely my go-to brunch spot. The atmosphere is so pleasant!

What a classic and beautiful place to have a meal. Our waiter was amazing and attentive. Plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating when we arrived at 10am. The only annoying thing was the train that came by and blew it’s horn.
