We went to Monona Bakery for a late afternoon lunch on the weekend. We were just after the lunch/brunch crowds so it was not busy (thankfully.) We started off with an order of chips and medium salsa. Chips were FRESHLY made and still hot!! Yum. The medium salsa wasn’t too spicy. I ordered the Enchiladas Mole (one steak, one chicken, one cheese) and the hunny got chilaquiles with green sauce and a bowl of chili. Enchiladas were delicious! I think for my tastes the chicken worked best for the mole sauce, which was surprisingly nutty. Loved it! My husband loved the chilaquiles. Unique with the green sauce and feta cheese, and he said it hit the spot. The chili was decent. But was fairly average in flavor. Not bad, but didn’t have the flavor pizzazz we were anticipating. I took one star off for atmosphere only because there was someone continually sweeping the floor and moving chairs the whole time we ate (which was a little loud at times and distracting.) But to be expected when you dine at off hours I suppose. Not a deterrent, just an observation. Definitely will return and try another great dish. (Or get the Mole again with all 3 chicken enchiladas!!)

They didn’t have flan out, I thought I missed it so I asked. They said they just finished cooking it and needed to cut it but offered it to me but would be a few minutes. That was really nice of them. It was the best flan I have had.

It took about 1/2 hour to get our food but it was worth the wait. The Chilaquiles were outstanding! Crispy tortillas topped with eggs, cheese and fresh salsa Verde, yum! The price was fair also. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.
We had a great first experience after hearing many great things! We went for breakfast and started out with scones and coffee. The breakfast scramble and omelet were 10/10. Perfect seasoning and yummy. The pancakes were good but I’d probably choose something else next time. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Would def recommend!

Stopped by for some deserts and not only did the items taste amazing, the owner was extremely nice. Definitely recommend stopping here to see what this place has to offer.

Will never go back! Food took 50 minutes for a table of 2. I ordered eggs over easy, they were hard. Bacon was cold and I had to suck on it before I could even chew it. Sourdough toast was totally stale with no butter. Friend found a big wad of hair in her eggs benedict. The pastry display had a ton of fruit flies in it. Totally disgusting and I will report. The good reviews are from months ago. Something has changed!! Disgusting, couldn't wait to get out of there.
