Marigold Kitchen

Visited this morning for the first time and can't believe I've never been here before! While they don't take reservations and parking can be a challenge, everything goes so quickly and is run so smoothly.We arrived and the place was full except for two counter bar seats. The hostess offered those to us and we accepted. She gave us our table number and we ordered at the counter. Even though it was full, the staff were so cheerful and pleasant. We grabbed waters from the water station and sat down. It was so cute inside although it is a little loud when full since it's so tiny. I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate and the chili poached eggs while my friend ordered a bloody Mary and the chorizo and sweet corn hash omelette. Everything came quickly, so quickly even that our food actually arrived before our drinks.The Mexican hot chocolate was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, plus the perfect temperature. My eggs were perfect too and I liked that they came with prosciutto, greens, and rosemary bread. I added avocado which was pricy but worth it to have a little more going on on the plate. My friend's bloody Mary and omelette were also great. The bloody Mary was so thick and had really good horseradish, while the omelette was so stuffed that she couldn't eat it all with the potatoes.Our food was excellent and the plates we saw coming out all around us looked amazing as well, so I'd love to come back another time to try more of the menu. Based on this visit, it should be great!

Amazing breakfast spot! The food here is delicious no matter what you order. My favorite is the chilaquiles. You order at the counter. They give you a number, and the food is brought to your table when it is ready. Seating is limited, so on weekends for brunch, there is routinely a long line outside. The staff seemed to have figured out how to facilitate busy weekend crowds much better than they did years ago. When there is a long line, they hand out numbers. They also help direct people to seating.While the food is excellent, there are several restaurants within a 1 minute walk that also have amazing brunch, so I don't think it is worth standing in a long line on weekends when you can get immediate service nearby. However, this is a top choice on weekdays when there's no wait.

We came to marigolds after the farmers market and despite the long line out the door, we were seated within 20 minutes. We each got drinks, and the lattes were very good! I recommend trying their specialty ones, it wasn't too sweet but definitely flavorful. I got the chilaquiles and they were delicious, the French toast looked decadent as well. My brother said he always gets the breakfast sandwich and a side of potatoes as well!It was so nice to be able to sit out on the patio and see a sliver of monona. Definitely will check out again when we are back in town!

Oh yeah baby Best breakfast in Madison. Gotta come here and check it out with your new freshman.

On a Friday morning, Marigold Kitchen was busy, but was moving quickly. We did not have to wait long to order or find a seat inside the restaurant. When you arrive you order at the counter and your food is brought out to you so you can find your own seating when something opens up. The restaurant was cute and open kitchen concept. I ordered the Iced Salted Maple Latte and the Marigold Breakfast Burrito. The iced latte was yummy, with maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt. The Marigold Breakfast burrito was unique with sweet potatoes, I liked this because I usually don't see this as a breakfast option but it was on the sweeter side. The best part of this meal was the Salsa Verde Citrus Slaw, I have not had anything like this and want to add it to everything at this point.

Great food, very quick service. I highly recommend the Mexican food. Packs a lot of punch and has great flavor, lots of spice. we finished our entire portions which never happens.

New review but same exceptional food!!! Always so delicious and always friendly staff! Christmas Eve morning have a wonderful breakfast is a good way to end 2024! Prices are very reasonable with my scrambler with sourdough costing $15 and my husband had short stack cherry white pancakes for $8

Stopped in on a beautiful Sunday morning for breakfast. First tip - don't let the line scare you off. It moves quickly, and they have a system for seating and ordering. They also provide menus to look at while you're waiting so you're ready to order when it's your turn. Servers were all very friendly. After brining our food items and coffee, they assisted with boxes and to-go cups. One thing to note is that there isn't really table service. This wasn't an issue or even inconvenience, but something to know prior to dining that is something you are wanting. We all had different items, and loved everything we had. The pumpkin pancake was especially delicious - not overwhelmingly "pumpkiny" or sweet. We can't wait to visit again!

If there's a wait, get a #; they'll call you when your table is ready. You take your# with you to the counter to order food and drinks; pay; self serve water. I had my 1st ginger turmeric almond milk latte w espresso- delicious! For breakfast we ordered a chix quesadilla, and a sweet potato kale hash w pesto and over medium eggs. Food was beautiful presented and as tasty as pretty. Although we didn't have any, pastries looked good- muffins, various scones, and macaroon. They have a couple seats at the tall counter, several stand up tables by front windows, 2-tops,4-tops, and tables to combine for larger parties. Lovely setting; quality food...yes!

Great food and great coffee. Stopped here to check out the brunch scene in Madison and this place didn't disappoint. The omlette I had was pretty good and the people here are super friendly. We got our food pretty quickly. I honestly also liked the overall look and vibe of the interior of the place. If I'm in the area again I'd come back.
