Short Stack Eatery – Big Portions & Bold Vibes 🥞

If you’re looking for a brunch spot that doesn’t hold back on portion size or personality — Short Stack is your place! The vibe here is fun, loud, and unapologetically busy 🎉… so be prepared to wait if you come during peak hours. Pro tip: arrive early to beat the crowd! Their pancakes are MASSIVE — fluffy, decadent, and seriously Instagram-worthy 📸🍯 We also tried their omelets and breakfast sandwiches — all delivered that same generous, hearty, no-nonsense style 🍳🧀 That said… I still prefer La Brioche down the street for a slightly more relaxed and refined brunch experience 😌🫖 Short Stack is great when you’re super hungry and in the mood for something bold and satisfying — but it’s not exactly a quiet, cozy café. A Madison classic for sure — especially popular among students and weekend brunch squads! Have you been? Which pancake flavor is your favorite? Stack ‘em high! 🥞🔥 #ShortStackEatery #MadisonBrunch #BreakfastGoals #MadisonWI #UWMadison
