Yola's Cafe and Coffee Shop of Madison

The place is clearly a local favorite. I got there ~7 15 and by the time I left at 8 it was almost full, on a Wednesday! Belgian waffle with bacon inside was delicious, and the staff was friendly. Great way to start a day.

I'm addicted to their caprese panini sandwich!! Fresh focaccia, mozzarella, pesto, and tomatoes.

GLUTEN FREE APPROVED! We were in town visiting family and searched for gluten free food as we usually have to. Yola’s Cafe popped up so we tried it out and we were not disappointed. We got gluten free waffles with coffee and hot chocolate. Located in a cute area of town too. Nice outdoor seating as well.

During a stop along our trip to Minneapolis, we had breakfast here. You order your food at the counter and then they bring the food to you. There’s a nice outdoor seating area. Seems like a popular local spot. Maybe our expectations were a little high, the food was mediocre to us. My husband got a BLT and there was very little bacon- 4 small pieces. My son got a Belgian waffle and it was good. For the money, I would chose another restaurant if in the area again.

First time visiting here and even though they were very busy everyone was super nice and helpful.

The raspberry chai latte was absolutely fantastic! I haven't had one this good since moving to the Madison area! The food was great too but I'm still on cloud 9 with the latte!

McDonald's could make a better burrito. My 'meat' burrito came with 1 slice of bacon a half piece of cheese and stuffed with 5 unseasoned eggs and huge chunks of unseasoned potatoes. I was hopeful and all that hope disappeared from the first disappointing bite. No flavor, bland, the egg and potato chunks, yuck. Terrible meal.

Quality and customer service has gone down hill recently. My wife and I ordered a pick up order. We showed up on time and I came in to pick up our food and drinks. Our food was ready on time but no drinks. I asked about them and was told they would be made soon. I watched as a girl spent an inordinate amount of time making a hot drink. She then took out her phone and started taking photographs of the drink she made. The lid was put on the drink and was finally put out on the counter for another pickup order. I waited for approximately 15 minutes. When I asked about the drinks again I was told the person in the front doesn’t work in the back (not sure what that meant as she was making drinks at the time). I eventually came to find out no ticket had been put out for my drinks to even be made. I quickly asked for a refund and walked out. Then I came home to find my make your own breakfast sandwich was not made correctly. Also, the refund we received for the drinks was less than the total for the drinks, so not even sure what they did there. Am not interested in returning as a customer. This is not the first time we have had food made incorrectly and/or had super long waits to get our order. It seems like the quality has declined recently and the cafe cannot keep up with Saturday breakfast rush.

I love the food at Yola's. The breakfast burrito, waffles, and all of the wraps have been consistently great. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but my friends seem to really enjoy it. Unfortunately, Yola's hasn't reacted well to the pandemic. Their time estimates for online orders aren't based in reality, and it usually takes 10-15 minutes to get lucky and get past their busy signal on the phone. That adds up to a lot of time sitting in their parking lot if you're trying to do your part in social distancing.

I placed a large catering order for a baby shower from Yola’s for 30 people. Only 18 people showed up and there was absolutely no food left at the end. People were raving about how delicious everything was. The food was on time and warm and just perfect. The waffles were a hit and guests went back for seconds, and thirds, and fourths. The staff at Yolas are so sweet and professional—would absolutely recommend them for any event at all. ♥️

Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!! Everything here is amazing! From the staff to the food.
