In Short
It's the bakeshop that greets you, before you even notice the casual-chic dining room, with glass cases stuffed with scones, cakes and elaborately decorated shortbread cookies. Menu boards overhead announce a full,… Read Full Editorial
Love this place... by 12456789 via Citysearch on 5/19/2011
They have great breakfast burritos & muffins, usually a wait on weekend mornings but they have cute outside seating, great for spring weather here in NC. Also they have a special decorate your own birthday cupcake for kids, my girls love…
$5.00 iced mocha?! by duke2009 via Citysearch on 9/25/2009
I took a friend here for coffee today and was amazed to find out that the Mad Hatter charges $5.00 for an iced mocha. It was just a bit of coffee and chocolate milk in a plastic cup full of crushed ice. Five dollars? Really? ----

Mad Hatter's Bake Shop - great bakery by Sowmya R via Insider Pages on 7/13/2009
Great bakery! Also they have a lot of food choices if you just want to hang out. And they do have free wi-fi. Mostly students hang out here.... I have been there a few times.
Great cakes/pastry. Below Average Coffee by bullseyeguy via Citysearch on 2/8/2009
The cakes are awesome! i would recommend the Strawberry Shortcake. The German Chocolate is also VERY good!
Too much icing, not enough cake by zoraunc via Citysearch on 1/29/2009
I purchased a piece white cake with chocolate icing from Mad Hatter's last night. I was shocked to find that most of it was icing. You could see where 1 pan of cake had been sliced in to 3 pieces and then stacked with excessive amounts…
Love this place by Christine S via Insider Pages on 1/23/2009
Mad Hatter has everything for a casual meal that is anything but typical. The food tastes fresh and refreshing, not heavy. They have lots of vegetarian and healthy options as well as sinful treats like cookies and cakes. They have free…
Amazing cakes! by Gigglyeeyore via Citysearch on 6/28/2008
We would go here anytime! My family has gotten lunch there many times and the food has always been wonderful. They have a nice selection and healthy options for kids. Their baked goods are hard to beat, and they have a large variety of…
Where in the world has mad Hatters gone? oh where oh where can they be? by respectability via Citysearch on 5/30/2008
Wow. I had just picked up the phone to order several cakes from Mad Hatter for a party I am having. I am not going to place an order based on the negative reviews I have just read. Have been several times myself and thought the food was…
The worst noodle I can remember. by poopaskoopa via Citysearch on 5/8/2008
Ok, first, let me say that I actually like the place "ok". I think their bakery/cake stuff is ok. I like sweets. I like coffee. I like hanging out with my friends and drink coffee and eat sweets. This place is good for that. \r

Horribly Disappointing Wedding Cake by smithwla1 via Citysearch on 3/2/2008
As a Duke undergrad, I loved the cakes at Mad Hatters, so when it came time to choose a baker for our wedding, Mad Hatters was the obvious choice. I ignored the advice of a florist, who told me that he was embarrassed about the looks and…
happy to have found it by vmarlow via Citysearch on 2/3/2008
after frequenting a number of like priced, quick food establishments, it is nice to finally see one deliver on their hype. i am sick of eating so so food out of baskets or the ubiquitous metal tray. at mad hatters, i got a tasty fresh…

thank you mad hatter for having delicious organic food and friendly service. the atmosphere is wonderful and cheery. thanks for having the intelligence to cut off wi-fi at lunch - its nice when people are talking and enjoying the food…
Best Cakes Around!!! by goldiesmom via Citysearch on 1/16/2008
As I was looking for the phone number to order my husband's bday cake, I was VERY surprised by all the negative cake reviews. We have been always 100% satisfied with the selection of cakes, not only the ones on hand but I specialty…

Been many times, never disappointed by grellin via Citysearch on 11/16/2007
I was surprised to see the bad reviews - I consider myself fairly hard to impress when it comes to restaurants, but have been to Mad Hatter's about 10 times and have always really enjoyed the food. Staff there have never been rude to us…
Terrible Customer Service - Not Worth the Effort by dancingheather via Citysearch on 11/9/2007
Sure, the cupcakes were good. BUT when I had a simple billing inquiry I was treated very rudely. As a corporate client who probably would have given them repeat business they treated me I personally conned them out of tons of money. …
Wedding Whoops! by murry53 via Citysearch on 10/7/2007
We decided to use Mad Hatter's for my daughter's wedding. They were gracious and eager when we first met, but as time went on, we could not get our questions answered. Three days before my daughter's wedding, I was in the restaurant to…
Avoid cakes by marshamunn via Citysearch on 8/22/2007
I met a friend for lunch there a few weeks ago. Lunch was pretty good, although a bit overpriced. I bought a cake for my mother's birthday. It looked gorgeous but when we ate it that night, it was not just tasteless but bad. The cake was…
Best Bake Shop in the Triangle by joe_poughkeepsie via Citysearch on 4/26/2007
I'll never be confused for a local, but the Mad Hatter is one of the bright spots for me since leaving New York. I enjoy lunch there whenever I can, but the best part for me is the bakery. The cakes, cannoli, etc. are outstanding. The…

I saw the rating on CitySearch & decided to check it out. i was in the process of looking for a baker for my wedding. One afternoon last week, my fiance & I decided to go to Mad Hatters for lunch & to inquire about their cakes. …
