This is where all things Forage got their start back in 2015 when two UW grads cooked up an idea for healthier, tastier food that was fast enough to grab and go but also delicious enough to sit and stay. Tucked in the corner of State and Lake, this spot is perfect when you’re out and about on the University of Wisconsin Madison campus, shopping on State Street or grabbing lunch and headed back to the Capitol Square.

Super delicious, quick spot to grab a healthy meal. I was at a meeting on campus (Pyle Center, v close) and came here for lunch every day. Love the automatic offer to have dressing on the side and also free bread :) Friendly staff and the cashew bowl + add tofu was my go to. I also had the power bowl + add chicken. Yum I’m getting hungry.
Best after class spot. Super clean ingredients, wide variety, and great taste.
