Horst’s Little Bakery Haus

Horst’s is an establishment in Madison, and donut lovers should rush to try their perfectly made dough delights! In a quaint, always decorated for the holidays location, Horst’s serves up fresh donuts made in the Madison hilltop location, as well as made-​to-​order breakfasts. Love traditional goetta?! They have a delicious goetta platter (or you can order as a side).
This place is quite small, which makes it so welcoming and home-​y, but that means you may have to wait a minute or two for a seat, if you’re eating in.
The coffee is hot, the food is delicious, and the wait staff is sweet as can be. This used to be a no-​tipping establishment (all tips went to charity and staff was paid higher than tipping restaurants) but this has recently been whited out on the menu.

My friends and I stopped by this brunch place during our recent visit to Madision, In.
I had the farmer’s omelet with a side of bacon strips. The omelet was delicious!
The highest point was their brewed coffee! I ended up having 3 cups: D
The couple who own the place were the sweetest people ever!
They were very warm and great to chat with.
I definitely recommend this place!

This place is the tops. I went here twice on my recent trip to Madison, IN. The owner and his staff were super friendly and helpful, and on my second visit everyone remembered me and treated me like an old-​timer. It was great! I got to talking with the owner, who does all the donut-​making himself by hand. He was super nice and I’m glad Madison has him to call their own. He has a great story and is an asset to the community!

My wife and I stopped by here on a Saturday and were pleasantly surprised by this little café. I had the biscuits and gravy topped with two eggs and they were perfect. The waitress couldn’t have been better and even gave our three old son a couple of cream filled doughnut holes. This is the perfect place to stop by and have a nice quiet breakfast.

After Mom’s awful Harrison’s breakfast, the Little Bakery Haus was pleasant. Eggs, bacon, the usual. I had corned beef hash, hash browns and a (requested) well done English muffin. Three trys in they finally got well done. Mom’s bacon and eggs with hash brownes — also requested well done but not — were okay. The staff was cheerful if a bit clueless.
The place is cute. Really cute. There is a village, rather a city, of small buildings from 19^th century to a modern Lowe’s store on shelves all over the restaurant as well as a long wall of nutcrackers. I have a mild fear of nutcrackers but seeing them lined up by color and type makes them seem pretty silly. Unless you are there at night. Alone. Naked…
ANYWAY. The only bakery goods in evidence are the donuts not made on site. Coffee was decent and if you are not picky about getting food the way you request for $ 13, Horst’s is okay.
