“Melissa who was working on 2/27/25 during the day shift when I needed to do some quick computer work was JUST AMAZING!! She was so friendly and amazing. She got me the best cinnamon roll out of the selection. She spoke with me while I did my work. She was knowledgeable on the area as I am traveling. This woman needs a raise or a promotion! Just something! She is just a great woman whom I am so glad I had the pleasure of being waited on by her!! And getting to meet her!! She has made me love WI even more!!“

“The nicest people there. I dropped my cookies right outside and there were two workers who saw and they said they would replace the cookies that fell. They didn’t have to do that, but I am so grateful they did though. So shoutout to the two people that were working that day on Saturday at 2:10 pm, you guys have my heart. 🥹💗“

“Stopped in yesterday on a whim on our way out of town. Excellent selection and such a cozy spot. Will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!“

“We had Greenbush Bakery Doughnuts for dessert at our wedding and they were such a hit! 10/10 recommend. Amazing service, delicious & beautiful doughnuts! Such a fun treat that everyone raved about!“

“I got the cinnamon roll was very tasty! But if looking for croissants I’d recommend going after 10 am I was really looking forward to it but after waiting still wasn’t available and was told about 30 mins when I got there ! But it’s a very quiet place for those who want coffee, good grilled cheese as I overheard costumers talking about how good their sandwich was!“

“We got our daughter’s 11th bday cake from Crumb en Croute! Firstly, it was ADORABLE! And exactly what we asked for! And then when we ate it, Yummy 😋!!! It was so good!! We will be using them again!!! Thanks for making our daughter’s day!!!“

“What a wonderful Dane County organization.“

“All of the mochi donuts always test very good. However sometimes they aren’t fresh and can go stale fast. But if you go during the day there is no problems !! Definitely recommend“

“Hi Bill. I was just talking about a million years ago on our blind date. I never was on a blind date before. U have to admit it was a super innocent funny story. Hope your life is great. I remember at the beginning of our date thinking we were meant to be siblings who would fight all the time lol. Never had a brother. That's a compliment. Lol?“

“I want to give a shout-out to Monona Bakery & Eatery 😄 I've ordered their food a lot via delivery apps, but never went inside. My friend Robin & I stopped in on Saturday! I've been on crutches 6 weeks, and they were VERY accommodating 😊 All the staff were amazing, and their food is SO good 🤤 I highly recommended checking them out! As someone who bakes quite a bit, I must say their bakery is 🤌😍👌“

“Best iced latte ever! Oh, and the maple scone made my taste buds so very happy! Wonderful, friendly staff topped off an excellent experience I'll repeat soon.“

“They just opened a new eatery at the world market in Madison, and it is wonderful! The owners were working when I went, and they are amazing at what they do! The jollof rice is so fluffy and comforting! When your eating it its like a warm hug! Highly recommend!! Also absolutely appreciate the owners thank you for all you do!!“

“I've loved this peak of mall food location for my whole life, and lemme tell ya pal, these guys are great. Multiple times I would go there in my usual comfy attire. Third eye, goth dress, cat ears and tail, just my everyday. And I was treated with up most respect and kindness like every other customer. No weird glances or comments at all! Those are the things I'd get in a Walmart, but not Auntie Anne's.

They got my back with their fantastic pretzel dogs. They're always hot and ready, almost like it was just for me. But oh ho ho, get ready for this, if you haven't had a strawberry smoothie from here? Gaw I can't tell you in perfect words just how wondrous my first one was. I just had a food-gasm about it frankly. You should get one if you love a tasty cold fruity drink.

The photo is from just last week when I was enjoying a lovely picnic with a pal of mine. However, side story, the mall security seemed to not like the idea. Allow me to vent/explain;

Mall security walked up to us within ten minutes or so and said that we had to keep shoes on and could only eat in the food court. We weren't being loud or messy, we were on the carpeted resting area on top of my blanket, we kept the food close to us so it wouldn't get on the floor. Tbh the only thing they should've reasonably held us for was the fact that I was sort of in the way of one of the benches. But that's it. Plus, I have sensory issues as an autistic customer so eating where all the noise and heat was wouldn't have worked for me.

Needless to say, we chose to eat our yummy food outside the mall after that. Didn't wanna cause trouble with the rules as I really like this Auntie Anne's location.
☕️Here's to getting more Auntie Anne's and hoping that the mall itself does better for the people.“
