Meet Me at Madison’s in Montclair: A Family-Owned Cafe With Plenty of Personal Touches

Meet Me at Madison’s in Montclair

STYLE

Bright, welcoming cafe serving Latin-influenced food with modern touches. 

THE SCOOP

Open since January 2023, Meet Me at Madison’s brings Latin flavors to brunch and dinner offerings. Named for the owners’ daughter, Madison Sanchez, this spot was mainly designed by her mother, Madeline, who wanted to honor the fact that their family created the restaurant together. It was also inspired by their love for travel and Latin culture.

THE MENU

The cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Madison’s Caesar salad with roasted chicken was delicious, with incredibly tender chicken. Also a hit was the French Cobb salad, which comes with a choice of roasted chicken or grilled Angus steak; the portion was big enough for two meals.

The lunch dishes include a mix of burgers, wrap sandwiches and pasta, many with a Latin twist. The chicken, mushroom and mozzarella empanadas were delicate (and could be ordered as a side dish, if you’re extra hungry). Signature drinks include the Pacienca y Fe, a golden, creamy espresso with Dominican chocolate and cream or milk. Breakfast dishes include eggs Benedict and avocado toast.

HEADS UP

There are prepared sandwiches, desserts and pastries that you can take to go. When the weather is nice, outdoor seating is available.
