Bloom Bake Shop in Madison is headquartered on Monroe Street, a bustling street filled with shops and restaurants. It’s adjacent to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Bloom has a second retail location in the up-and-coming Eken Park neighborhood.
The bake shop is a family operation, owned by Annemarie Maitri and her husband Mark. It’s been around for more than 15 years and it has developed a big following in Madison and beyond.
There’s a simple secret to the bakeshop’s success. Bloom uses fresh ingredients, sourcing locally when possible and it makes everything from scratch.
There’s a lot to love on the Bloom Bakeshop menu: delicate French croissants, gluten-free cupcakes, rustic country sourdough, and more.
The shop also serves delicious ready-to-eat deli options like a smashed chickpea salad sandwich, a grilled cheese panini, and a Wisconsin biscuit sandwich. It’s a great place to grab lunch.
But there’s a treat here that gets so many people coming back again and again – the sweet potato doughnut. It’s the shop’s most popular cake doughnut and when you taste it you’ll understand why! They are available at both Bloom locations and they are sublime!
