Stella's Bakery

Stella's Bakery keeps me looking forward to the Dane County Farmer's Market quite literally every weekend. Their booth is easily one of the most popular with multiple lines forming from all ends.

Obviously, Stella's is known for their hot and spicy cheese bread. This stuff is amazing; always warm and seemingly fresh out of the oven. I'm pretty sure they must use a Hawaiian style roll for this and it is so good and pairs nicely with their spices and cheese. If you're not a big spice person, don't let this steer you away. It's very mild in terms of spice level but does have the slightest kick.

The more we try the cheese bread, I've noticed that the cheese isn't always evenly dispersed, so you wind up with a big cheese glob in one section and no cheese in another. This doesn't bother me too much as I genuinely enjoy the bread alone. However, my technique to overcome this issue is to pull off pieces of the plain areas of the bread and uses them to break away at the big cheese clump sections... if that makes sense?

Anyways, Stella's also serves a fair amount of other baked goods. We've tried their spicy cheese empanada which was surprisingly cold. We were a little disappointed by that but the empanada was still really good and could be promising if served warm!

In Dane County Farmer's market they had very long line. So tried their hot and spicy cheese bread. It was really good. Bread has cheese and chilli flakes embedded in it. $13 was the price for a piece.

Giant bread for the same price as at the supermarket. Super cheesy though the cheese wasn't dispersed evenly, so you'd get pockets of pure cheese then pockets of just bread. The bread was also devoid of spice despite the pepper flakes. Still really soft, fluffy, warm bread that's well worth the asking price.

I've been to their storefront as well as their stall at the farmer's market and bother everyone who's heading to Madison for a load of their spicy, cheesy bread because it is so good! When heading to their storefront you might feel like you're going to the wrong spot but just trust your GPS to lead you to the right address. It's a nondescript warehouse looking spot that houses the most wonderful smells and friendly, helpful staff. Stella's is definitely a Madison fave!

The Hot spicy cheese bread is amazing
I buy it every time I'm at Stella's I buy a loaf
This week I bought 2 one for a friend

Very nice bakery. Love the quick in and out. Their pastries are delicious. I usually go for the puff pastries. The Turkey and spinach are the best.

OMG the hot and spicy cheese bread is SO good. I waited in a looong line at the Madison farmers market for 1 loaf and man do I wish I picked up a few more. Totally worth the $12 they're charging.
The loaf is large and seriously packed full of gooey cheese and perfectly cooked soft bread (think soft challah). I shared with my family and it was gone in a matter of minutes!
We also chose 1 rhubarb pie (recommended by the employee) and it was so tasty. The crust was buttery and flaky and the filling was a perfect mixture of sweet, tart, and fresh from the rhubarb.

Went here and grabbed some cheese breads, French baguette and apple pies. Good breads. The apple pies were so unique. Not too sweet and super tart . Also, I loved the crumble topping as well. Highly recommend to warm the pies up and top it with vanilla ice cream.

Was a bit difficult to find , but glad I did. Very friendly staff and the smells... add the taste=
Well worth any effort expended ., no photos as I ate it !

They have some stuff. If you attend farmers market you'll know this place.

Fresh and hot breads, pastries, and other awesome products. Back in an industrial park but not hard to find.
Don't miss this place.
