This Barriques location's food is UNACCEPTABLE. I have ordered food to be delivered from Barriques so many times I can't even count them all. I have loved the food I have received from each and every one of those times, except for the last 2 times. Today I ordered a $50+ 4-item order to be delivered from what it appears was the location at 2505 University Ave. We did not receive the 2 pieces of bacon we ordered and paid extra for on one of our items; we also did not receive the 2 sides of salad dressing we for the side salad that we ordered; and in addition, the side salad itself contained mostly ROTTEN pieces of mixed greens. DISGUSTING. ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTING. The employees and manager at this location need to stop and take a good long look at what exactly is going wrong there with their food safety and business practices. I am 100% fed up with nearly every restaurant in Madison we order from not preparing food in a proper, neat, or food safe manner, nor aligned with the customers' orders. The bar has been set so absolutely low for food service quality and professionalism in this city that said bar has long ago been buried underground.
And to note- I am physically disabled, unable to get up and leave my house whenever I want; I rely heavily on restaurants and food delivery services for my and my children's literal survival. I don't want to talk about that to anyone working in any restaurant or driving for any delivery service that I've ordered from because I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO say anything about that in order to persuade any of them to do things the way they are supposed to be expected to be done in the first place.
STRIVE HARDER FOR EXCELLENCE SO YOU HAVE REASON TO TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR BUSINESS.

Make sure to call right after placing a pick up order.. 3 times in a row the staff didn’t see the order until I arrived / started making it afterward and I had to wait 10-15 minutes

Barriques has the best pumpkin chocolate chip bread!!

Cons:
The staff must have been having a bad day because not one person smiled at us the whole time. The transaction was very monotone and it felt like the cashier didn't want to be there.

The food was very basic and felt like something I could whip up with the leftovers in my kitchen. Not to mention that there were no vegan options at all.

Pros:
The prices were good, the atmosphere was cute, and I liked that they had a patio to enjoy the weather.

Overall:
I might recommend trying their drinks, but I wouldn't recommend their food and I wouldn't come back to this location because of the bad service that I received.

Vegetarian options: There were 3 or 4 vegetarian dishes. No vegan options were offered (bakery or food).

I have not been here since the time I came and the pastry cabinet was littered with fruit flies everywhere. That's a health hazard, but they gave the pastry to me anyway. I was so shocked that I threw it in the garbage, along with the coffee, as I left.

Not a huge fan of the coffee here, tried it multiple times. Iced lattes just weren’t good. Nice place to study sometimes though.

I don’t usually post reviews but the service has been so bad the last two times I’ve been to this location, I feel the need to. On Saturday morning, I ordered a breakfast sandwich and two coffees with one other customer inside. The coffees took over 20 minutes to make. Wasn’t initially in a rush but had to leave without the breakfast sandwich or a refund after about 30 minutes, in which other patrons who ordered behind us received food. The last time we were here, we waited over 10 minutes for someone - anyone - to even acknowledge us, and had to leave as it appeared that no one was working. The service is terrible, don’t go here.

The lavender latte is lovely, but the power bowel I had was pretty poor, just a bad combination of items and I struggledto get through it. Nice staff, decent atmosphere for working and good location. Would come again and skip the food next time.
