Yola's Cafe and Coffee Shop of Madison

Just had an autumn cold brew coffee thing with toasted marshmallow cream & cocoa powder on top-party in my mouth! I'm usually a straight up cappucino person but........

This place is so cute! I went in for a late breakfast after running some errands on a Saturday. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating and a water dispenser to use while dining in. Loved the decor of the place.

Love this coffee shop! It's local, great service, and I love the atmosphere. They have a nice outdoor and indoor seating area. They have lovely fall decorations set out for the season too!

Great stop for coffee and a sandwich. Easy walking from a number of nearby hotels.

I live on the road about 9-10 months a year, I'd been staying at a hotel across the street for over two months when I found this place. And I wish that I had earlier, because it's great!! The breakfast burrito is 🔥 and Jen, who after going in there twice, remembered my name. Also their iced coffee is the bomb too. Absolutely love this little place, I'm going to miss it when I leave.

Modern café with creative menu for breakfast and lunch, slightly pricey for the amount of food in the plate.
Service is good, so is the ambiance.

“I recently treated myself to my first solo dining experience at this coffee shop, and it was absolutely perfect! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, making it the ideal spot to unwind. The food was amazing, and the coffee—simply delicious! If you’re looking for an amazing waffle, this is the place to be. The staff behind the counter were so friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I’ve never felt this relaxed in a café-restaurant setting before, and I will definitely be coming back again soon!”

Parking: Great parking right in front of the store

Wasn’t very impressed with the food, that value isn’t there for a small lunch wrap. California turkey wrap, maybe 2 slices of turkey and smear of avocado. I’m going to head home and have lunch, again.

First time at Yola's. We got the peaches and cream waffles (special) and a breakfast burrito. They were delectable, and we ate everything off our plate. The "sweet" iced matcha we got was not as sweet as we hoped. The atmosphere is lively; I would recommend getting there early if you want a table of your choice. Service was great! Super nice and attentive people all around.

Great outdoor seating, and a variety of chair options, which is nice if you’re like me and experience pain in certain positions. Delicious food and drinks and fair pricing.

Parking: Traveling in a 28 foot long vehicle can be tricky, so I appreciate the big parking lot with pull through stalls, and shaded areas I was able to back into and only take up a small amount of space.

Food was absolutely delicious! I had the almond apple salad and will be thinking about it for weeks. Definitely will be going next time I'm on that side of town!

Just stopped in here for a quick snack and mid afternoon coffee. Felt badly as we walked in 10 minutes before close, but the warmth and kindness of the staff removed that feeling right away!
We ordered 3 different drinks (2 seasonal flavors), all delicious! LOVED my coconut chai ?
Door County cherry coffee cake was tasty, croissants and cinnamon roll were fresh and yummy!
Very friendly young lady (who made my Chai) came out to the patio to let us know they were closing inside, and invited us to enjoy the patio as long as we'd like!
This is now on my list of go-to's every time I come to Madison ❗️

What a disappointing experience! We will not be returning.

First, the positives. The staff were friendly. Waiting times were reasonable. The honey lavender latte was pretty average with a below average price. The cafe was clean, if not generic and uninspired. My daughter said her waffle was good. To be fair, she says the same thing about Eggo waffles.

Now, the negatives. I ordered a bowl of granola with milk. They brought it out and asked if I’d be okay with yogurt to which I said I’d prefer milk. To their credit they did take it back without complaint. However, they simply brought it to the back scraped most of the yogurt off, and returned with the same plate and a shot glass of milk. The fruit still had quite a bit of yogurt on it (gross). The milk was warm. I suspect had the order been plated as ordered, it would have come in a bowl. At least I hope that’d the case. The paltry ounce and a half of milk barely covered the bottom of plate leaving almost entirely dry granola. This was compounded by another problem: about a quarter of the granola was visibly burnt and tasted as such, too. Oh, and they forgot to put strawberries on my daughter’s waffle, which was, of course, and upcharge that we paid for. Also, they served the latte in a paper cup, even though we were dining in. How wasteful!

We’ll be avoiding this place and strongly recommend you do the same. There are SO many great breakfast spots and coffee shops in the area, many of which are leagues better than this place, which is at best ordinary.

I love this coffee shop! The waffles were amazing and although it was busy, my food came out quick and fresh. Will definitely be stopping by again!
