Madison Catering FAQ

We’re ready to help you with all your catering needs!

How do I start my order?

There's two easy ways to get your order started.

Are you taking standing/prepaid orders right now for our business/cafe?

Presently due to COVID-19, we are not. Our entire ordering system is on our website, where we can control orders, limits of staff, and safe money exchanges. However, we are willing to discuss what your needs are and see if they fit into our safety plan.

Can I pre-order catering and pay for it?

It depends. If you need a dozen bagels or two and a lox platter, we would recommend you order online. You can expect a delivery 1 hour from when you place it. If you have an order for 20 to 30 sandwiches, we would appreciate a phone call before you place the order online. For anything larger, say 5 dozen bagels or 30 plus sandwiches, we would need a day in advance. Please email at wholesale@gothambagels.com or call us at 608-467-7642.

What is your delivery range?

Our $9 delivery charge covers The City of Madison.

Outside of city limits are as follows:

  • Middleton, WI $15.00
  • Sun Prairie, WI $15.00
  • Anywhere else: Please call or email us.
Can I change my order once it's been placed?

We are usually able to accommodate changes made at least five days before your event. Let us know when submitting your order if you anticipate making any adjustments. Please note that we consider all orders final four days before the scheduled event date and are not able to make any changes after this time.

I am perusing your website and I do not see something I’ve ordered from you in the past. How can I find out if it is still available?

Since COVID-19, we have been limited with our staff scheduling. Thus, we have simplified our menu. However, we can make almost anything you have ordered from us previously with 24hr notice, except of course if we rolled Sushi for you or roasted a whole pig in the past. 😊

How many bagels feed ___ number of people?

Generally we feel the bagel ratio for adults should be about 10 bagels for 12 adults, provided you slice them and arrange. We would hate to give you too much unless you don’t mind, and we would hate to short you.

How much lox generally feeds ___ people?

We usually figure one pound of lox will feed 12 to 15 people, unless you are very familiar with the tastes of your group (ie, vegans, family members)

I ordered ___ bagels, how much Cream cheese will I need?

We recommend 1 pound of cream cheese per dozen.

We've got plenty of bagel and sandwich fixings. Add on tomato, arugula, red onion, capers, butter, mustard or mayo for $1.75 a person.

What if I need tableware?

Plates, napkins and plasticware are available for $0.75 a person.

Yes, we ship anywhere in the world, Monday to Friday. We add on the shipping fees directly. If your order requires refrigeration, we pass along the cost for ice-packs, insulated containers, etc.

Do you have vegan platters?

Yes!

Are your Bagels Vegan?

Yes, EXCEPT the Egg Bagels.
