About Lane's Bakery

When you walk into Lane’s, you quickly find that we’re more than a bakery. We’ve played a role in the Madison community since 1954, providing home made cake, donuts, cookies and coffee for every day — and for extra special days like weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.

From the day Charles and Flay Lane opened our door in 1954, we’ve been dedicated to bringing fresh delicacies to our community, all made in our very own kitchen. After Charles became too ill to run the bakery, their son, Jerry, left college and came to help his father run the business. In 1961 Jerry and his wife Nancy took over ownership. Their sons, Mike and Charles (Chuck) both quickly found their place in the family bakery at a young age and the family tradition continued on. Our family-run business is now in its third generation, with Chuck and his wife Becky carrying on the heritage of using premium ingredients, like real butter and eggs, because they’re healthier and they taste better than processed ingredients. We even make our own dough! It’s just one of the many things we “kneed” to do in order to make Lane’s Bakery your destination for deliciousness!

A true neighborhood establishment, we know many of our customers on a first-name basis, as well as what cookies, donuts and coffee are their favorites. And although carrying on our family tradition is hard work, it’s also extremely satisfying. When we see the joy on the faces of our customers — from toddlers to adults — it warms our hearts to know that our bakery has brought a little happiness to their day. It may sound corny, but everything we make is baked with love.
