Ancora Cafe + Bakery is a true gem in Madison! 🥐✨ I’ve visited twice, and both times, I’ve been impressed by the cozy vibe and friendly staff. The Hella Stella sandwich, paired with sweet potato fries, is messy but oh-so-delicious!

🍂 The outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying a sunny brunch, and I love that you can hang your dog’s photo on the wall inside - so cute! The cinnamon rolls are a must-try - they're heavenly!

Just an FYI, it can get busy, so plan to arrive early, especially on weekends. Highly recommend this lovely spot for brunch! ☕️🌼
