Madison's Bakery - Baked Goods & Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Cape May

Disappointed After High Expectations We had heard a lot of buzz about The Madison Bakery in Cape May and were excited to experience it for ourselves. We ended up visiting 2 locations—the beachside spot and the one at the Washington Street Mall—hoping to get the full picture. Unfortunately, the experience fell flat on both occasions.

On our first visit, our girls ordered crepes. After the first bite, everything (all 7 of them) ended up in the trash—it simply wasn’t edible.

Still hoping for a better outcome, we tried again the next morning at the other location. The bagel was decent, but the breakfast sandwich—egg, cheese, and sausage—was disappointing. The patty was extremely salty, chewy, and lacked freshness. The cappuccino tasted more like burnt coffee with a splash of milk.

We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, two croissants, and two coffees. The total came to $45. We’re happy to pay a premium for quality food, but sadly, most of what we ordered either ended up in the trash or barely made it past a bite or two.

While the staff was courteous and the locations are charming, the food and drinks didn’t live up to the hype. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but our overall experience was...

They are located right across the street from the beach so very convenient and expected a little higher prices for location at tourist hot spot. Yes ,$21 for a dozen is a little pricey but includes jellies, filled, long johns, and the fancy decorated (excludes fritters). Stickey buns are an incredible $6 each but are large, tasty, and very stickey/gooey (IMO getting 3 "regular" donuts is a much better deal and cheaper). Staff were friendly and quick and items were packaged well. Most importantly these were beautiful and tasted great and were liked...

BEST CAKE EVER! If you need a cake for any occasion and want an exceptionally delicious chocolate cake, I HIGHLY recommend Madison’s Bakery. I ordered a half sheet cake for my daughter’s graduation and worked with Sammy to custom design it. She was SO wonderful to work with! She was attentive, responsive, and made sure every detail was perfect.

The cake was chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and white frosting. Not only did we have more than enough cake for our party, but everyone was fighting over the last pieces to take home — it was truly that good!

It was a cake to remember in every regard. Huge thanks to Sammy & the entire Madison’s Bakery team for making our...
