Yola's Cafe and Coffee Shop of Madison

I chose this restaurant because I was looking for a kid friendly breakfast place, where they had a play area for the kids. I found the play area to be in a tight corner, maybe good for only a couple of kids. The food was delivered in multiple trips and the order was messed up. My friend had to go up to the counter and get it corrected three times. The counter person just seemed a little inexperienced but she handled it politely. It was embarrassing because I brought two friends there at my recommendation. My friend got a gift card to compensate for their errors but I would not recommend it for parents with a group of kids. The food was ok, but I did appreciate the gluten free options there. I would go back if I was in the area and I needed a quick bite to eat, but not for the purposes I needed that morning.

Yola's is a great place to stop while I'm out running errands. Cozy atmosphere and delicious items.

The food is good, the staff mostly helpful. The less than good is that you will may, or probably will, need to clean up after the last person who sat wherever you sit. The staff don't typically bus the tables, but some diners don't do that, either. Staff don't have time to clean much if it's very busy. It seems to be a pretty trendy spot. But the food is good, quite busy on weekend mornings.

Yum! I been coming here for about 2 years. Great coffee, scones, and waffles. I'm sitting here now having the baked oatmeal for the first time. IT IS AWESOME! Man I been missing out. Highly recommend this place. Cozy atmosphere and kind staff.

This place has good coffee and good service. My only issue was one particular waitress was talking to two customers literally the entire time I was there and I was there for probably a good hour. The tables are pretty close together so it was really hard to focus on my studying because she spoke so loudly even with headphones on.

Food was pretty good. Cappuccino was really good. Service was sub-par. Food came out staggered and a side order of sausage ordered for my daughter didn't come out (which can happen). When we asked about it, the server brought sausage out and said "see the cashier when leaving." You'd think that after ordering $50 of food and forgetting a part of the order they could offer a piece of sausage and say "no problem." Nope. Oh well, not a huge deal but not very customer friendly and awkward, to say the least. :-/

We order often from area eateries for our work meetings. This was the first time we've ordered from Yola's. While I did not order from a "catering" menu I was surprised that they did not include napkins and utensils. My salad was very fresh, tasted good and the strawberry dressing was great - but I was a little disappointed with the size and the amount of toppings. I will say though...that those coworkers who ordered sandwiches were very well pleased... they said delicious and full of good stuff.

As a follow-up, I received a nice email from Yola's after reading my review which let me know that they are serious about providing good value and good customer service and were sorry that we were not 100% satisfied. I appreciated the email and the sentiment. We'll try them again in the future.

Always a warm cozy atmosphere and delicious food. I had the baked oatmeal and a vegan blueberry scone - yummy. There were groups of people gathered and they looked so relaxed. You feel that when you walk in the door.

This restaurant quickly accommodated our party of 7 (even though they were busy) and we got our food quickly. Also, the waffles were great!

Cozy place. Like the Barrique's chain in Madison only more breakfast-y. Waffles! Great place. I hope they last. I think they will. It seems like they are doing a good mix of distanced in-person customers and delivery. Godspeed Yola's.
