Yola's Cafe and Coffee Shop of Madison

Yola’s has always been my favorite waffle shop, but when they featured cookie butter waffles during my birthday month, they won a million extra restaurant points. While we’re talking about the food, their breakfast burritos are also out of this world.

The environment here is always welcoming and inviting. The staff is always friendly and the reward points make is so easy to get good discounts on a nice breakfast or lunch. My favorite place to stop by for a nice weekend breakfast before hitting up the mall or going grocery shopping.

Near impossible to dine in when most of the tables are occupied by social clubs or folks working at a laptop with no food to keep them there. Those who order food are left awkwardly waiting for literally anyone to leave without much luck. My waffle was also unfortunately overcooked and crumbly. I also received a pitiful amount of whipped cream which I paid extra for. Cannot recommend.

Great little spot with seating inside and out. Waffles are amazing. I suggest chocolate chip and banana.

This was our second experience hiring Yola's for our company's catering needs and it certainly won't be the last. Fantastic customer service, generous menu options (including Vegetarian and Gluten-free) at reasonable prices and their Liège waffles are out of this world!

An intimate, local café hidden in the Commerce Drive area. Went around 8:30am on a weekday, and glad I did as this place gets popular mid-morning/lunch hour with all ages.

The whole menu looked tasty, but this time I opted to build my own breakfast sandwich (who doesn't love their own creation?) of egg white, smoked turkey, oven roasted tomato, avocado, and herb cheese on a flour tortilla. The size seemed on the smaller end but top-notch in taste. Also indulged in a creamy matcha latté - not sure if they have different milk options since I wasn't asked.

Definitely have to return for the delicious looking waffles I was eyeing from another table. Also a plus that Yola's supports local orgs with proceeds from their waffle of the month!

If you’re craving Belgium goodness, Yola’s “Waffle Wednesday” is where it’s at ($1 OFF any waffle!). Took a chance on the Country Breakfast waffle with cheddar and sausage baked in and a fried egg on top.

WOAH. That perfect sweet and savory combination deserves an updated review. Also - the lightly-sweet coconut matcha is heavenly on a spring morning.

Breakfast sandwich was good! Liked the cream cheese spread; could have used more of the greens, there were just a few pieces. Also got a chai tea with oat milk. First one was just on the warm side (I was surprised!) but they made me a new and hot one with no fuss. Will go back to try a waffle!

Lance + his staff ensure the customers are well taken care of with great ambiance, perfect networking spaces, and great food with many gluten-free options!

If you like your avocados rock hard & black this is your place

Update: Thank you so much for your reply and refund! I will think about trying you again in the future🙏🏽

Shockingly good, worthy of a brag, delicious breakfast. Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had, amazing cinnamon roll waffle, and delicious smoothie. Only thing I wish is that it wasn't 3 hours away.

What a cozy cafe that is a refreshing change from sterile hipster coffeehouses! The food is so delicious… my favorite is the vegan Belgian waffle that is fluffy, genuine and incredible! I love that there are always dairy free options at this cafe. The workers are super nice, it’s filled with sunshine inside and out, and the place just FEELS good!
