Marigold Kitchen - Madison

The breakfast at this place was out of this world. Honestly, I?ve had breakfast in LA, Manhattan, Portland, London, Paris, Rome? I?d have to say this is one of my favorites. You should absolutely check it out. The potatoes are out of this world? They?rebaked goods are outstanding, their various breakfast plates are exceptional. Good for vegetarians as well.

Went here with a group of 9 today, and it was a great experience. The staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful. When you get to the restaurant, your order your food first, get a number, and sit down at a table so be prepared to order right away! Thereis a variety of sweet and savory options and the portion sizes are perfect. Very affordable! Will be back to try other things onthe menu.

The original Marigold was my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Madison. Since the new owners took over, they 've made some changes that have robbed this place of a lot of its original charm. The menu is still largely the same, and the food is still good, but the seating system on the weekend is incomprehensible. Seeing no line, I went to walk in the door, and came face to face with a member of staff who took my name, handed me a menu, and directed me to wait outside. There were open tables, so I 'm not sure why this was necessary. Later, after I ordered and got my table, they went to a sort of split system where people could wait in line for an inside table, or take an open table outside and someone would wait on them. I don 't know how that 's going to work on a warmer day when outside tables are more in demand. The old system was simpler consisting of waiting in a line to order, and then being directed to a table once your order had been placed. While this led to a lot of people standing around in a cramped space, it was at least straightforward and easy to understand. I hope they get this system figured out and improved. Unless/until they do, I won 't be coming back on weekends.

Great coffee and breakfast choices. Staff makes you feel very welcome.

We enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the outdoor area next to the Farmers Market on Saturday morning. The restaurant operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so you queue up to place your order and then find any available table while you wait for your food to be delivered. We waited around 15 minutes for a table. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. It was a perfect day to sit outside, but there are also plenty of indoor seating options. The place was quite busy, so it's wise to expect some wait time when you visit. We’ll definitely be back!
