Stella's Bakery

Stella's Bakery keeps me looking forward to the Dane County Farmer's Market quite literally every weekend. Their booth is easily one of the most popular with multiple lines forming from all ends. Obviously, Stella's is known for their hot and spicy cheese bread. This stuff is amazing; always warm and seemingly fresh out of the oven. I'm pretty sure they must use a Hawaiian style roll for this and it is so good and pairs nicely with their spices and cheese. If you're not a big spice person, don't let this steer you away. It's very mild in terms of spice level but does have the slightest kick. The more we try the cheese bread, I've noticed that the cheese isn't always evenly dispersed, so you wind up with a big cheese glob in one section and no cheese in another. This doesn't bother me too much as I genuinely enjoy the bread alone. However, my technique to overcome this issue is to pull off pieces of the plain areas of the bread and uses them to break away at the big cheese clump sections... if that makes sense? Anyways, Stella's also serves a fair amount of other baked goods. We've tried their spicy cheese empanada which was surprisingly cold. We were a little disappointed by that but the empanada was still really good and could be promising if served warm!

Good bakery products. Very fresh and baked daily on-site. Friendly people that works there.

In Dane County Farmer's market they had very long line. So tried their hot and spicy cheese bread. It was really good. Bread has cheese and chilli flakes embedded in it. $13 was the price for a piece.

So I have loved Stella's for years, and I must say today that the MLK Farmers market was beyond rude. I got some I got some paper dollars and coins fromEBT. Ordered my bread and was treated Like an idiot. Apparently you can only use the coins for vegetables and fruit. I was told by I believe the owner that this is a bread and proceeds to explain what fruits and vegetables actually are with actual examples. I.e. lettuce is a vegetable, strawberries are fruits, etc. Embarrassed me for sure

I've been to their storefront as well as their stall at the farmer's market and bother everyone who's heading to Madison for a load of their spicy, cheesy bread because it is so good! When heading to their storefront you might feel like you're going to the wrong spot but just trust your GPS to lead you to the right address. It's a nondescript warehouse looking spot that houses the most wonderful smells and friendly, helpful staff. Stella's is definitely a Madison fave!

The Hot spicy cheese bread is amazing I buy it every time I'm at Stella's I buy a loaf This week I bought 2 one for a friend

Giant bread for the same price as at the supermarket. Super cheesy though the cheese wasn't dispersed evenly, so you'd get pockets of pure cheese then pockets of just bread. The bread was also devoid of spice despite the pepper flakes. Still really soft, fluffy, warm bread that's well worth the asking price.

Very nice bakery. Love the quick in and out. Their pastries are delicious. I usually go for the puff pastries. The Turkey and spinach are the best.

Wonderful cheesy bread and empanas. It was recommended by a local and should be a major tourist destination.

We were at the west side market on Saturday and bought a $5 cinnamon roll. I asked the vendor to cut it half, and he actually refused, claiming he didn't have a knife. The spicey cheesebread was excellent but way over-priced. I won't be rushing back.
