I visit this place a lot since I work in the area. I have to say their customer service is always good and they keep the spot neat at all times. Rates are affordable and they serve generous portions.

A Madison institution that will be sorely missed. Was my go-to favorite spot to bring out-of-towners for brunch (not that there are many of those these days, of course), coupled with a post walk to the lake. Will have a to find a new favorite spot soon. I've heard they're working on developing a cookbook of their recipes, which I will eagerly purchase several copies of as soon as they're made available.

We were glad to have a 10 or 15 minute wait for a big table for our group as it gave us plenty of time to choose from their extensive and very attractive menu. Almost none of us could finish our brunch servings but not because it wasn't delicious. Also, very friendly staff serving lots of very happy customers. Amazing Mother’s Day brunch even though it had to be to go during covid! It was a treat to each have a portion of the breakfast burrito, oat cakes, and quinoa bowl! Thanks to all at Manna, our favorite neighborhood cafe.

The cafe is closing for good. Great place to have pancakes and coffee. Mamba Cafe has been a part of our Madison experience. Take outs and curb side pickups are available into the last day. Wear a mask if entering the cafe. Go get an oatmeal pancake and help them close this chapter.

Close at 1pm until Jun 28, 2020, when they close forever. Check their web page for current menu. Whatever u get will be well worth it!

I know there closing which is sad, I arrived to the restaurant people were waiting outside to go in due to social distancing but the line moves fast. Customer service was good. They have it all very organized. I ordered a cup of wild rice soup, a muffin, the PDQ coffee beverage,oatmeal pancakes with bacon, eggs, toast and bacon for around $32.00. All was very good. Lots of people were buying whole quiches, there delightful too.

Great brunch place with a good selection of egg dishes and pastries. Are there vegan options? Probably but I'm not one so I don't care one bit.

Nice environment and really tasty food. My girlfriend and I love breakfast/brunch and this is in our category of best breakfast/brunch places in Madison. Haven't had a bad meal here and other people I know like it as well. Definitely should try it if you are nearby.
My husband and I love coming to Manna for brunch! They have a big menu to choose from and fresh baked goods in their bakery. The food is delicious!

Don’t be fooled by the strip mall exterior, this place is as authentic as they come!

We love this place. Best Eggs Benedict (eggs cooked just right and the hollandaise is perfect). Everything is very fresh. You order at the counter and they bring the food out. There’s a wonderful bakery with tasty gluten free items. They have a stack of games if you just want to hang out and play board games, although I wouldn’t plan on that on a weekend morning because it’s packed. It’s a little pricey, especially if you have a big family.

Very cute cafe for brunch! Love the gluten free options. I thought that there would be more but it was adequate.

I cannot say enough good things about Manna. The absolute BEST place to eat in Madison. They are very popular so give yourself enough time if you go. The only thing I'm not too keen on is their bakery - a lot of good things but I don't come here for the sweets - it's all in their food menu
