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.

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!

Came back to Madison and looked for the old Ovens of Britanny. This is a worthy successor!

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!

Fresh, delicious and new to me flavors. Thank you for opening my world to your baked goods!
I've been getting delicious baked goods from Far Breton for several years, mostly from their cart at the farmer's market. Today we received the worst pain au chocolat ever. There was zero flakiness, having the consistency of a dinner roll. If we could have gotten a glimpse of it before the sale, we would have passed. It didn't even look right. Very disappointing, especially for the price. Hope they turn things around.

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.
They open at 8am, not 7am. Change the timing so your customers know.
