About Us

Today’s Main Street Cafe, owned and operated by Tammy and John Hall, was constructed to be Madisons third City Hall in 1954-55. The second City Hall was a two-story wooden structure located at Garner and Martin Streets. The building at 101 Main Street was converted into a cafe after its use in the 1990s as a gift shop by Tina and Brian Bice. Cindy Sensenberger leased it from the City of Madison in the year 2000 and opened for business in December of that year. In October 2018, she sold the business to Tammy and John Hall, and they still offer the same excellent cuisine to their customers and have a loyal clientele from throughout the region.
