Madison Avocado Toast Showdown 🥑🍞

Avocado toast is my ultimate brunch favorite — I order it everywhere I go! This simple dish often reveals a lot about a restaurant’s quality. Here’s my ranking of avocado toasts in Madison, from best to… well, you’ll see 👇: 🥇 1. The Statehouse Located inside a hotel with modest ratings, this place surprisingly serves the BEST avocado toast in town! Huge portion, classic yet perfectly executed. Thick avocado spread, a beautifully cooked fried egg 🍳, savory ham, rich cheese, and fresh arugula for balance. Absolutely satisfying — highly recommend! 👍 🥈 2. Marigold Kitchen This popular spot gives the least amount of avocado, and it’s not the prettiest… but the flavor is intriguing! It strangely reminds me of Chinese Five-Nut Mooncake 🌰🥮 — nutty, savory, and grainy, with a hint of sweetness from berry jam. An odd but delicious comparison — you have to try it to understand! 🥉 3. Ancora Cafe + Bakery Their version is sweet-themed — topped generously with sunflower seeds and crispy fried Brussels sprouts. Tasty at first, but gets heavy and greasy after a few bites. ◻️ 4. Wonderstate Coffee Pretty to look at 👀, but the most disappointing in taste. The bread was soggy, avocado was sparse, and the seasoning was just… odd. Have you tried any of these? Did I miss your favorite? Let me know! 👇🥰 #Madison #AvocadoToast #BrunchGoals #MadisonWI #FoodReview #WisconsinEats
