I can’t stop thinking about the fried chicken sandwich and mac n cheese. The pickles in the sandwich! Oh the pickles! The Mac n cheese made me melt 🫠 I’ve had the breakfast sandwich on a donut (10/10 recommend), and their other donuts (all delicious. I’ll be coming back to try the fried cauliflower sandwich soon!

The building was formerly an auto mechanic shop, which explains the name and gives the place a unique, quirky style. I’d read rave reviews about their fried chicken sandwich and donuts, so I decided to stop by. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich ($9) and a chocolate cake donut with buttercream icing ($1.50).

The sandwich was excellent—the breading was thick and crunchy, which I really enjoyed. The cake donut was also delicious, with a rich chocolate flavor and smooth buttercream on top, and the price is reasonable.

There’s plenty of parking, a few outdoor tables with umbrellas, and some indoor seating as well. The staff behind the counter were super friendly and welcoming. If I’m in the area again, I’d definitely stop in for another fried chicken sandwich.

Donuts taste like cooked in oil from chicken or fish. All you taste is the oil it was cooked in and it is not pleasant. Threw out donuts. Did not try any other food just the donuts first time buyer. Friendly staff.

My wife and I stopped in today for lunch. I got the 2 piece chicken. She got the north side spicy chicken sandwich. We also tried the mashed potatoes with gravy and the mac n cheese. Holy smokes! Easily the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. The Mac n cheese was fantastic. Mashed potatoes and gravy were top tier. My wife said the chicken sandwich was SOOOO good. No funky weird pieces like you find in other sandwiches. Everything appears homemade, down to the pickles on the sandwich. So of course with the food being so good, we had to get some donuts to take home and guess what??!! Those are freakin delicious too. Sorry for the missing bites lol.

We will definitely be back!

It’s so hard to find a good breakfast sandwich in Madison, especially on the east side, so when I recently discovered this place I was blown away. The English muffin breakfast sandwich (which can also be done on a dang DONUT) was amazing. It was like $5, can’t beat that!! I also find the lore behind the place funny. It used to be a car shop and literally looks like one, all the way down to the garage door. Definitely recommend trying it out!

I was double charged for my purchase of a large coffee. I notice the same day after looking at my bank account.
Next day I went in and explained to the same person who took my order. (Owner?) I'm so sorry would you like a free cup of coffee. I said yeah and he refused to refund me!

Had a great experience at Zippy Lube. The cashier was very friendly and our food came out quickly. The cauliflower sandwich was a very unique option and my partner and I both enjoyed the mac and cheese. Had a strawberry sprinkle donut and was pleasantly surprised to taste that it was clearly made from real strawberries. It was very moist and soft. Will definitely be back for breakfast sandwiches! I thought it was all reasonably priced as well.

Holy moly. I can't with this chicken sandwich. It is the best chicken sandwich I've had in my life. I've heard people describe flavors as "zippy" before and I get it now. The pickles? Insanely tasty, I want a jar of them. The bun? There like lingerie. The chicken? The well-seasoned, juicy star. I would cross the city to get this. I have no pictures because I started the review after a few bites. Super cute location, kind service, *super* tasty, 10/10. No notes.

I came just after 11 when they start serving chicken. Welcoming, friendly counter service. Shout out to Harvey who took my second order. Decaf and vegetarian options. Was great to see staff preparing food and having fun with each other. Delcious coffee, donuts, and fried chicken was phenomenal. Great vibes, parking on-site, single bathroom.

Indoor seating is a little tight and it can get busy. If you want to sit and study or do work, you may have to wait a moment for a spot. Which, most people there were grabbing food, so the wait was not long. I initially got my own table right away.

Or, you can strike up a conversation and share a table-- which I did and connected with a lovely stranger.

Overall, a fantastic place with a unique aesthetic, outstanding coffee and food, and a good place to hang out.

You can’t get a better chicken sandwich!! The crispy breading on juicy chicken, literal perfection of the house pickle, approachable and flavorful spicy sauce, and thee ideal bun pairing! You will keep coming back, I promise you. You can tell a lot of love went into this sandwich to assure the ratios are perfect, especially for dining in or out. Plus, the staff and vibe there is top notch!

Common order: crispy chicken, northside spicy, slice of American cheese. Favorite sides, mac n’ cheese and the donuts of any flavor.

Great business, great customer, and a great neighbor.

I've been both serving and frequenting Zippy Lube since they opened. I live right down the street so I can always have access to great chicken and doughnuts! But the best for me is the sausage and egg breakfast sandwich on a fresh-made cinnamon doughnut!

Kate was great, hope the cold won't scare you back to Houston!

And they serve them until 11:00AM PST! (1:PM for us townies)

I'm proud to have them as a MWSCO customer, and I wish them a long, successful stay!

Zippy Lube is an awesome addition to our neighborhood. The chicken sandwich is a family favorite and their mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes are amazing.

We also frequent them on weekends for their tasty breakfast sandwiches. Breakfast sammie on a doughnut is fun, but I'm partial to the English muffin.

Watch me read this place for the filth it actually is…this place is horrible the food gives gas station and this place is overly priced and portioned horribly what the hell do you mean a small Mac and cheese is barely one bite? They aren’t really welcoming and talk to you like you are slow when you try to ask questions about the food and makes it seem like it’s rush.

Don’t even get me started with how un organized this place is the lines are overly long they need two cashiers and a drink maker instead they have one poor person working on register AND doughnuts and someone making drinks I’ve waited more than 15 minutes for a drink and not to mention their drinks suck and are also overly priced. The doughnuts need a lot more work and health regulations because why is an almond doughnut which is a nut BTW next to and touching the other doughnuts which is contaminating them? That’s not professional at all and they use the other tongs to pick the nut doughnuts or the ones people may be allergic to? NO you need one specific tong.

This place isn’t spacious especially for the people in the front they constantly bump each other and it just doesn’t really work out.

My personal opinion I think they should close this place down for a bit and re establish this place was too much a quick job and not a community they just need to do better honestly this could be a good thing for the north side but it’s not giving and maybe again I’ll try it out

Sorry Starbucks ZIpps got you beat on food and coffee!

Im not a big coffee drinker, in fact I don’t like it at all, but I needed a pick me up, so I just asked for something, kinda anything that’s sweet and caffeinated,

The coffee I got was… Amazing,

Just a simple Caramel Iced coffee add your own creamer, and a breakfast sandwich.

I’m serious when I say this coffee was the best I’ve ever had, this was awesome! their sandwiches are extremely good too and unique.

Definitely coming back every time I’m in town!

Cool new spot on the Northside! Coffee, donuts, and fried chicken?! We had a couple chicken sandwiches and 2 piece, great bun and perfectly fried piece of chicken (maybe lacking a tad bit of salt), good sauce and pickles! Fried chicken was really good, crispy and seemed slightly different in breading compared to chicken sandwich! Hot chicken was really good too, not too spicy and a little sweet! Mac and cheese was solid too. Will be back for donuts and coffee! They could and should do an amazing chicken and donut special with a hot honey or something(like a play on chicken and waffles).

So much fun! Love the concept. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was the perfect size. You didn't walk out ready for a nap. Now, why they don't offer fried chicken on a donut is beyond me. However, the gentleman working said they are looking to offer that soon. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely check back in.

Went for some chicken here, cuz the whole town was shut down by the police for some one coming tot he airport. Glad it all happened because we got some of the best fried chicken and mashed potatoes we’ve had in a very long time. The staff are all super friendly and the place is small. But, the chicken is about as perfect as it comes. We went a second time before leaving Madison just to see if it was a fluke and it wasn’t. Just as good the second time. Chicken sandwich is also excellent. 10 stars.

This place is truly magical. As the name suggests, the stars of the menu are the coffee, donuts, and fried chicken. My usual go-to at a donut shop is a chocolate sprinkle donut, but they were sold out by the time I arrived. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the strawberry frosted and glazed donuts. The apple cider flavor had a nostalgic quality, though I can't quite pinpoint why. The fried chicken was incredibly moist and juicy, perfectly complementing the donuts. It wasn’t overly breaded, so there was no bready overload—just the right balance. The mac and cheese was also a standout, with a luscious texture that wasn’t too creamy or cheesy. It was just perfect.

I loved the experience so much that I wanted to return for dinner and breakfast the next day. I also spotted a fried chicken breast sandwich on the menu as I was leaving, so that’s on my list for next time. This place is an absolute must-visit if you’re ever in the area, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Wisconsin.

I love this place; good food and good prices!! I am currently obsessed with the breakfast sandwich. I prefer it on the English muffin, but overall, it's great. Just a classic, basic breakfast sandwich! Sometimes, the sandwich can get too greasy with sausage, but this one is not greasy at all.

The coffee is also decent! I got a flavored latte, and it's sweet but not overpowering. If you're looking for something very sweet like Starbucks, this is not for you.

Oh..my. gosh. I heard about Zippy from Gina at the uh... That antique place on Willy street. What a trip. I've biked by here frequently not knowing what the heck I was missing!!!

They aren't shorting on staff at Zippys. You're gonna be served well. The place is clean and well run. The food menu is small and fantastic.

I hope they never fear taking away menu items. I hope they do that. I hope they bring in occasional entertainment for events. I hope they make those events like a show and tell for employees interests maybe. I don't know just spit balling!

I hope their logo and identity become more well known. I wanna see that menu simple and delicious all the time.

Excuse me, as for their food? The mashed spuds on the side are to die for, with a tangy gravy that will literally blow your mind.
The side Mac and cheese are to die for, with chunks of garlic and creamy
I had the veggie patties breakfast Sammy on an apple cider donut. I wouldn't do apple cider for a Sammy again but the egg was killerr!! It was kinda melted into the cheese.

My Americano was good as heck too. I'd love to see their key tools have character or identity added to it. In the kitchen staff have their fryers or make tables. In the front staff have their tills and coffee machines.

Amazing hidden gem. We came in on a Friday and ordered a few things. The breakfast sandwich with sausage and bacon on a cinnamon sugar bagel was amazing and would definitely get that again. We got a half dozen donuts and would get the apple cider again along with the triple chocolate and key lime (even though it was not filled). The strawberry was alright but plain and probably wouldn’t get again. The iced latte with caramel was perfect; exactly how a coffee should be made. They have different milks too like almond, whole, 2%. The place looks cool with very good theming and they have good merch too. For how much we got we spent $40 with tip which isn’t bad.

Cute little cafe, love the theme, and love the color schemes. I had gotten the chocolate buttercream donut, and it was a 9/10. The buttercream was perfect, not too sweet at all. The mac and cheese was delicious. 9.5/10 it tasted garlicy, like a garlic bread mac and cheese. The iced latte I got was a 6/10. More on the milky and creamy side couldn't really taste the espressos. Also, got the spicy chicken sandwhich, and it was amazing 9.5/10 crunchy, juicy, and perfect spices. Taste like a Nashville spice almost, and the pickles seem homemade and aren't fully pickled, so the pickles almost taste like what a papya salad with cumbers if you've had that.

Not a very amiable atmosphere. The person behind the counter did not seem very welcoming. Granted, they are in a rough part of town so the crowd they're accustomed to catering to aren't the most tranquil. Naming the place after motor oil does cast an acrid brush across the menu but even without it, the donuts tasted like cardboard and its odd selection of table offerings isn't very flavorful.

Overall, would highly recommend! I’m a sucker for a fried chicken sandwich and this place has you covered. I went with the spicy and will definitely be getting it again next time. Frankly, the photo doesn’t do the chicken sandwich justice. As for the donut, perfect balance of sweetness. We could have eaten like 10 of these. And the coffee was good too! I had a black drip coffee and my fiancé had an iced hazelnut latte. The hazelnut latte was one of the best lattes I’ve had in a while.

If you haven’t been here, what are you even doing?
Great food, great price and great service.

Let me start off by talking about their cauliflower “wings” because we went there for a chicken sandwich and these alternative chicken bites took over the show. We love trying new things and cauliflower bites aren’t anything I’ve ever cared for but now its definitely in our list.

The chicken sandwich is a must try, if you like the heat I recommend their spicy chicken sandwich. It is consistent with the flavor since the first time we ever got it.

To be completely honest We tried all their donuts when they first opened and we didn’t care for them, little too dry and very small selection.
I can tell you for a fact that wasn’t the case when we went recently. I completely regret not grabbing more passion fruit donuts and the strawberry chocolate donuts because they were definitely unique and full of flavor. Their donut selection doubled in size if not it tripled. Very happy to try the new flavors definitely need to go try all the other ones.

The only complaint I have is the large side portion of the mac and cheese is over priced. Unless they make their pasta from scratch that side is too small for $8.

The muffins,eggs and bacon are warm flake. The donut with cream cheese was fluffy and light.

Coffee seems basic, probably like one person reviewed — out of a vending machine. Or at least conventional. I’m better off going to the Willy St co-op down the road for 1.99$ 12oz of Organic coffee and Organic half n half. Plus the donuts were not as good as I’d expect from a shop that makes them in house, but they were not bad for conventional ingredient donuts. Decent treat for cheaper than a really good Bloom Bake Shop donut, however Bloom wins at high quality healthier donuts.

The customer service was welcoming and personable, the atmosphere with music was lively. It was nice to see them employing POC and seemingly enjoying their time. However I think their decor could use some touches — but fits their “food-out-of-a-car-shop” vibe.

Edit: Cauliflower wings are better!

Someone brought these donuts into my work - the experience was like chewing on a sponge. Hope they aren't always like that. I had heard good things in the past...

The Mac & Cheese was tiny for $3. Do not buy a small, it’s not worth it…but the taste was great! & the quality of the cauliflower sandwich was good. Very delicious & fresh. I would say it was better than Dave’s Hot Chicken cauliflower sandwich. No napkins or spoons in bag.

$32 for 2 cauliflower sandwiches & 2 small Mac & Cheeses.

Have enjoyed Zippy Lube chicken several times. Tried their fried cauliflower yesterday. Very good and even better reheated in the oven the next day. Batter still crunchy!

The food here is great. I wish I could also get fried chicken for breakfast. Like a doughnut chicken sandwich. Is that too weird ?

My experience at Zippy Lube boils down to nothing but excellence. Food? 10/10. Chicken was moist the entire time I was eating it, seasoned well, and with a little of their "Zippy" sauce, really made the experience. Service? Phenomenal. The staff was friendly and had no issues carrying on a conversation of the food and area alike, even going as far as to recommend some other places for me to try in the area. A personal and heartfelt thanks to this business feels required.

Food and service was great. I would love to see a spicy fried chicken sandwhich, where the breading is spicy, not just a hot sauce, but recommend nonetheless.

This place is awesome, found it on accident and I'm glad I did find it. You have to try their breakfast sandwich on a donut, its beyond amazing. Looking forward to trying more items next time I am in the area.

I wanted donuts when I arrived but they were all out. The chicken was thick skinned. I prefer smoother chicken. I was enjoying the sunlight and the man rolled down the curtains. He asked me if the light was bothering me. It felt great.

They get very busy around the eating hours. So it's difficult to call ahead for an order to go. If you call when their not busy, they will take your call and you can order ahead of time. Remember they put Zippy sauce on the chicken sandwich. I ask for no sauce, It can get a little sloppy. Awesome sandwich though!

Wonderful addition to the Northside. Great in the morning for a donut and a coffee and chicken later in the day.
