Hazelnut Café

Start simple, bring quality ingredients to
the table, and create a community-centered café—that was Matt Heindl's plan
with Hazelnut Café, his modest coffee shop
set amid Blue Mounds' rolling green hills.
While Heindl's mainstays have been
quality coffee and pastries, including experimental flavors like Szechuan pepper
cinnamon rolls with ginger frosting, the
café's biggest draw has become his woodfired pizzas. Scratch-made, Heindl's pizzas come in a number of tempting tastes,
like Bianca—made of fresh mozzarella,
crushed garlic, sea salt and grape seed oil—
and get baked in a 760-degree oven he built
himself.
The café is a great pit-stop between
Madison and summer hotspots such as
Governor Dodge and Blue Mounds State
Parks. With Heindl chatting up customers and no posted closing time, you may
find yourself lingering a while. "If there's
people coming in, a good time being had…
I don't see a reason to close," says Heindl.
Hazelnut Café is located at 10985 Division
St., Blue Mounds; (608) 220-1100
from 1976 to 2013...
