The Bavarian Rye. If you have not tried it you should. It is the best bread I have ever eaten. For many years I assumed that silly yak/bread barn was exclusively gluten free and never stopped in. What a mistake. They have the best moist freshest tasting bread. I am sure it is because they grind the grain right at the bakery. Fabulous bread, oh and snickerdoodle cookies. As long as you're there you should try the snickerdoodle cookie, and the molasses cookies, oh and the jalapeño popper rolls, and well pretty much everything else.

SO cute! Super friendly workers. Great selection. Imagine those little kid bakeries at schools x10 with so many great things and a great selection. You know its made right there. Great prices. Love Love Love.

WOW, the bread is the BEST I have EVER had. I tried their cinnamon and it was soft, yummy and very good. My favorite bread in the world is their Cranberry Orange bread, WOWWWWW, it's the best in the world. I LOVE this place

Gluten-free heaven!! Finally got to stop in here before flying back to Denver. SO GLAD. They apparently ship nationwide, so I will be making an order very soon. I haven't had a scone since going GF...the blueberry one was the best scone (with or without gluten!) I have ever had. Chocolate doughnut...yes. Nailed it. The dried fruit granola is delicious to the point my somewhat picky toddler will gobble it. I have bread and a couple other treats left to try, and I can't wait. Will be my first stop next time I am in Madison. YUM!!!!!

The selection of gluten free products is amazing! You can see the bakers making the bread if you get to the store early enough. I hadn't had a donut since I went gluten free and I bought one my first visit and fell in love. Also, try the garlic cheddar gluten free bread. It's deeeeelicious.

Silly Yak sells egg-free, casein-free, and gluten-free (marked GFCFEF) baked delights! If you adhere to these dietary restrictions, Silly Yak is the perfect place to find breads, muffins, and cookies. I am mostly pleased with them because of their selection of "contains gluten" goods. YESS YUM I will eat my "contains gluten" lemon blueberry scone while you munch away on your GFCFEF coffee chocolate muffin, both equally delicious. Everything in the store is clearly marked, so whether you're looking for gluten-free & egg-free or only gluten-free goods, you can easily find the right type. They also have a useful calendar of their bake dates, and apparently have shipping available if you're interested in that. My sister mentioned that the xanthan gum (used as an egg equivalent in the egg-free products) made her mint chocolate chip muffin extra chewy, but didn't compromise the taste. pros: clearly marked goods, something for everyone!, odd assortment of other gluten-free foods (beer and pizzas!)

Wow! I just got an assortment of breakfast treats for my department this morning and everything is awesome: chocolate chip and coffee scones, cinnamon rolls (dense and doughy yummers!), muffins (raspberry, apple cinnamon, and cornbread honey), and pecan rolls. I hit an all time sugar high because I couldn't stop putting stuff in my mouth. I'm going to have to walk another 10 miles today to burn off it all.

I've been driving to madison to get goodies from Silly Yak since I was diagnosed with Celiacs. Even with GF bakery items becoming easier to find and make, you can't beat Silly Yak's treats! Last thanksgiving, they made it easy for me to make my family's traditional stuffing and my in-laws favorite treats both GF and delicious! We get our birthday cakes and pies there for special occasions, and always get something new to try each time we are there. The scones are probably my favorite sweet treat, and their specialty breads make the best sandwiches! Looking forward to farmers market season when I can grab some goodies while walking around the Capitol. YUM!

Okay, I've been to a lot of gluten free bakeries since I have Celiac's and I really, really want to like this one because the selection is amazing. I mean, pasta, a million types of bread and pastries... but, I just can't like this one. I've had several different varieties of things, egg-free, casein free, just the gluten free stuff, but they all lacked moisture. And that's the thing I find in this bakery, is that the items all consistently lack moisture. And yes that's hard to do with GF baking but it can be done. I haven't found a product I truly enjoy, everything sort of tastes like a chalky, crumbly version of a Pillsbury product. The bread is also dense (I've had gluten-free bread that isn't) and costs way too much - its almost cheaper to buy the frozen GF bread from the grocery store. The other thing that worries me is there is a regular bakery next door, and while I assume that they do not share a ventilation system I do worry about contamination. (Flour can stay suspended in the air for 3 - 10 days) and if you are sensitive to gluten that can be worrisome. The staff is friendly though, and the place is warm and cozy - I just wish the food tasted like it.

Thank you to everyone at the Silly Yak Bakery! The gluten-free casein-free donuts are to die for!

A friend and I bought a sampling of Silly Yak's egg-free, casein-free, and gluten-free baked goods. I had high hopes but ultimately everything we bought was dry, dense, and lacking in flavor. I rarely find anything truly inedible but this time I did throw my share away. A major disappointment after the other positive reviews.

We love this bread. I tell all my friends about it. It is the only bread we eat. Careful though, you need to refrigerate after a few days if you don't eat it all up right away. They make half loaves for smaller appetites. Delicious. Our favorite is the Dakota and the Grandma's white is second.

Gluten-free baked goods galore, as well as GF pastas, cereals, snack bars, beers, as well as some conventional baked goods that contain gluten. Their website lists bake days and allows shipping. If you're there on a day they're baking conventional goods, you can get frozen GF items. I greatly enjoyed the GF blueberry muffin I had this morning and hear the chocolate cherry scones are not to be missed.

This is one of the two best places for gluten-free products that I've been to in the entire country (the other being Andrea's in St. Louis, though they have since closed their retail outlet and now sell only through grocery stores). Aside from the clever name, Silly Yak has delicious food. The jalapeno-cheddar bread is wonderful, as are the cinnamon rolls and pumpkin muffins and the regular bread and ... well pretty much everything is delicious. Two extra bonuses: they have a stall at the farmer's market, and they sell beer. According to one of the employees, they are the only bakery in Wisconsin with a liquor license. They should frame that and put it on the store window. All in all, a terrific place.

I am enjoying the bread. Will be back.

The bread here is amazing. I guess they close the place down, clean out the ovens hardcore and bake all the gluten free goods once or twice a week. Some stuff is sold fresh and other stuff is frozen and sold all week. Besides bread, they offer fresh pasta, cookies/muffins, croutons, and pizza crust. Their cakes look pretty terrible though, they bake em in a square tin pan and frost em like my kid brother frosts his brownies... they should get a cake decorator!

If you are at ALL a fan of breakfast sandwiches, you have GOT to try the "jalapeño poppers" (small rolls) made here - just cook up an egg, heat the roll, and serve as sandwich. OMG. HEAVEN! I've been a connoisseur of breakfast sandwiches for years now and I can truly say that nothing beats these little rolls at home with an egg. The rolls are very soft and fairly small - perfect size for an egg sandwich. Most importantly, they're baked chalk full of cheddar, bits of jalapeño, and cream cheese. They're amazing plain or even with hummus, but as for me I'll be having them EVERY morning I'm back in Madison, with an egg. And orange juice. And coffee. I discovered these last fall at the farmer's market downtown Madison and they've been my best Farmer's Market find - ever. I'm utterly in love and I'm sure these rolls will soon have a cult following, if they don't already. Bonus: Great customer service. Very friendly workers. Double Bonus: Their danishes are PERFECTO. Flaky but still super moist and stretchy - you MUST try if you like danishes!!

I don't have gluten intolerance or any dietary concerns, I just love the baked goods and breads here. Muffins, cookies and breads are all amazing and reasonably priced. The staff is super sweet. Just wish they were open on Sundays too so I could get my Silly Yak fix! :) The staff is super sweet and nice. Update: I also wish you sold coffee products - this area of Mineral Point Road is a desert for good coffee unless you want to go to the gas station or a chain place like the Starbucks in Target or Panera.

This bakery is the best gluten-free bakery I have ever been to. Lots of variety for products (pasta, breads, cookies, pizza crust, etc.). The staff is friendly and the bread tastes much better than national brands bought in the grocery store. Very satisfied on the first visit and can't wait to try more varieties!
