My family and I have always enjoyed our experiences eating at Daisy! The owners, staff, and food have been consistently spectacular over the years! We'll greatly miss this place and all its people! Thank you for all the hard work everyone involved put in to make it one of our absolute favorite places to eat! Wishing all of you the best of luck in the future!

Daisy Cafe and Cupcakery is wonderful! In the heart of Madison- East siders! Options available for everyone is what makes this place so special. Hi, my name is Cortney and I've worked at Daisy Cafe for 6 years! Being at Daisy, I've encountered all walks of life. When I first started at Daisy back in 2018 I was blown away by all the lovely, exciting, humorous and most importantly "KIND" people to serve. "What a joy to be here!" - I thought! I've never worked in an environment and felt wanted by my efforts.
Kathy and Daryl are the owners of Daisy Cafe and they've made a beautiful environment for customers and staff. We're all family here! These two people are amazing, and I've had the opportunity to become friends with them. I'm so thankful for everything they both have done for everyone! I love them and Daisy so much!!! It saddens my heart to say Daisy Cafe doors will close on SUNDAY, AUGUST 25th 2024. at 2 pm. :( So, please come see all of us at the Daisy till the end.

*Kathy(Owner) The best!
*Daryl (Owner) Also, the best!
( You know it's good when you combine these two people to create a safe, happy and tasty place for all!)

I was visiting briefly from otw from Baltimore to Seattle. The food, service and prices were all excellent. Great little place. Would definitely go again. I had the regular breakfast: eggs, sausage, potatoes and fruit. Good portion size for the price.

Me and my wife were excited to stop in for breakfast/brunch last Saturday. It was Atwood Fest so we thought it would be great to get a nice breakfast and then check out the festival. We got there around 11 am, waitress was nice, got our drinks and order in relatively quickly. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Around noon our waitress came and apologized and gave us 4 free cupcakes which was nice. At 12:15 we left without receiving our food. Very disappointing. It wasnt our waitresses fault, we threw down a twenty for her troubles. Damn, I really wanted to like this place

First time going here and I was not impressed. My eggs were ordered over easy and they weren’t even cooked (I get the middle should be runny and that does mean a little on the raw side). The eggs were so lightly cooked it looked they were just cracked open and it was terrible. I couldn’t even eat them! My sister ordered pancakes with her meal and they were never brought out. So she had to ask for a refund and the waitress did say “oh sorry I forgot.” Which hey sometimes this happens. Our table had to wait for drinks and it was hot out. The place wasn’t even that busy. The food was subpar. Ancora is better. My boyfriend wants to go here again to try the lunch menu, so I’ll see what happens next time. Just a disappointing visit. I still tipped of course because it was hot and it’s definitely not an easy job. If the staff cared enough they would have asked if everything was ok or tasting good. Good service definitely gets more money in the door and I just don’t feel this place was worth it.

I am so disappointed by Daisys. It took the poor overworked server, who was working alone, 20 minutes to come to me. My mixed greens were limp and awful, underripe pineapple, and my strata was flavorless and dry. Quite expensive for such low quality food!

Tofu scramble had great flavor but was a bit too greasy, especially with the potatoes. Vegan cupcakes are only on the weekend.

Will go back. Great choc chip pancakes!

The Vegan Rancheros were presented beautifully on a white plate (I wish I would have taken a picture) The flavor was fresh and tasty with the perfect portion size. The service was awesome. Breakfast is served all day. There are non vegan option offered as well.

The food is average (and that’s being generous), but the cupcakes are some of the worst I’ve ever had. My family got 4 different flavors and they all tasted like stale air. No discernible flavor other than just stale. It’s really crazy to me that they call themselves a cupcakery when I’ve had better cupcakes out of a box.

Love coming here for the great vegan options! The patio dining is great. The service is a bit on the relaxed side so don’t plan on being in a big hurry :)
