The neighborhood
Where Gotham started
Joey Bagels opened Gotham in Madison, and this shop at 112 E Mifflin St is still cranking out the real thing: dough mixed in house, rolled by hand, kettle-boiled and baked in a rotating deck oven. Madison has its own menu, with its own sandwiches, so check the Madison menu before you order. The full history is in our story.
Downtown Madison runs on the Square. State workers, lawyers and lobbyists from the offices around the Capitol come in before work, students walk up State Street from the UW–Madison campus, and on Saturday mornings in season the Dane County Farmers’ Market wraps around the Square a block from our door.
The coffee here is Colectivo, roasted in Wisconsin.
Good to know
- The original Gotham Bagels, with a menu all its own.
