Ancora Cafe + Bakery

Was soooo good. I got the chorizo hash with no egg and the blackberry mint matcha. And I normally don’t love matcha but this was heavenly. Our food also came out pretty fast despite how full it was in there.

My partner and I probably go to Ancora a bit more than we should, but it’s always great. The Monona location is new and just a few steps away from us, and every time we order pick up, it’s always ready and fresh. I love their fruity pebbles latte (keep it year-round please!) always a treat! Their donuts are so fluffy and my partner loves them, I’m also a huge fan of their buttery chocolate croissants. My go to food items are their burrito bowl with is fully customizable, it’s filling and I love the flavors. We recently started getting their sourdough toast/jam instead of the donuts (to save some calories ) and their jam is house-made and always fantastic. The flavors usually rotate depending on the season (I love their cranberry apple jam!) Keep in mind this place is always busy, so mistakes happen, as with any place! Other than that, the Monona location, in my personal opinion is just as amazing as the others.

Went here for the first time this morning and when we arrived it wasn’t busy but by the time we left there was a long line at the drive thru and people looking for a place to sit inside. The brunch was excellent and the staff was super helpful. Had a latte and eggs and toast. 5 stars!!

ordering matcha these days can be scary because you never know what you’re going to get, quality wise at least. theirs was a nice bright green color and tasted great!! i should’ve gotten a bigger size! the breakfast burrito also had good flavor and was vegetarian friendly.

THE best place for breakfast! Especially the avocado toast and the iced coffees with flavored foams. Every time I come into town, I come to one of the Ancora Cafes just to get the avocado toast with the shaved brussel sprouts tossed in honey, and cashew cream spread. It’s fantastic! They also have delicious fresh homemade donuts. And the prices are amazing! Yum!

Another location that is serving high quality coffees and their own baked goods. The croissants look as authentic as French and freshly made daily by their bakery. Delicious drinks and beautiful ambiance. Parking is available as well as convenient drive through. Beautiful location.

great coffee and food. love the drive thru, really wish they could have at least one vegan baked good option. also would be great if they had a rewards system, at least for drinks.

So sunny and beautiful, with easy parking in the back. Bea welcomed me instantly with a huge smile, and helped me pick a drink when I didn’t know what I was in the mood for. It was a lightly sweet golden milk latte (which is a favorite of mine I’d forgotten about), and was absolutely delicious. Bea was so sweet, and even said goodbye as her shift ended and she was heading out the door. The space is filled with peaceful earth tones, and lovely lines. There are plenty of stools at the counters along the windows to chill and watch the activity outside.
