10 Years of Hollander Madison: A Love Letter to Hilldale

October 14, 2025
Cafe Hollander Madison Turns 10 Banner

Ten years. A whole decade. It feels like only yesterday we were breaking ground at Hilldale, ready to bring Café Hollander’s legacy to a brand-new community. And wow—what a wild, beautiful ride it’s been.

Madison, you’ve been our people from the start. We’ve cheered on Wisconsin wins together, Spicy Badger in hand. We’ve witnessed love stories unfold under ivy and bicycles. We’ve shared the magic of our Alpen Globes each winter, toasting to snowy nights under twinkling lights. We’ve navigated unpredictable times side by side (looking at you, global pandemic). And through it all, one thing has never wavered: your support. (Well, that and cheese curds. 😉)

This anniversary isn’t just about us—it’s about you. Every guest who’s walked through our doors. Every clink of a glass, every shared plate, every laugh that’s filled the room. This decade wouldn’t have been possible without this incredible community.

And because a milestone like this deserves more than just a toast, we’re throwing a week-long party.

Anniversary Week Festivities: October 20–27

Join us for a full week of fun, flavor, and a few surprises along the way.


To the Madison community and our Hilldale neighbors and friends: thank you for a decade of gezellig moments, Badger pride, winter tradition, late-night laughs, and everything in between. Here’s to the next 10 years of Hollander magic at Hilldale.

Come for the food, stay for the fun, and help us make this birthday unforgettable.
