Homey goodness from a “Pop-Tart” at 4 & 20.
Marzipan croissant
Prairie Cafe, 3109 Pheasant Branch Rd., Middleton
This sweet almond paste is just the right match for buttery croissant dough, and Prairie Cafe gets the balance just right.
Peach danish
Madison Sourdough Co., 916 Williamson St.
The shatteringly crisp pastry exterior and the not-too-sweet/tart peach preserves banish all thoughts of prepackaged danish drowning in layers of vanilla icing.
Pop tart
4 & 20 Bakery & Cafe, 305 N. 4th St.
A homemade cherry or raspberry “Pop-Tart” from this laid-back neighborhood cafe will change your mind about needing to try the new A&W root beer version from Kellogg’s.
