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 underwhelming
