While other coffee shops and even Panera Bread rush out the mobile workers (we use too much wi-fi and don’t drink and eat enough), the owner welcomes them and takes the time to introduce business people to each other. One day when it was too cold to take a call outside, the owner offered his office as a quiet spot for an important call. Now that’s outstanding customer service!

I recommend this wonderful cafe! They have a very comfortable interior where I can discuss business plans with colleagues or simply relax and read a book or finish some work. Their outdoor patio is also a wonderful place to read the morning paper. I tried their baked oatmeal — wanting to be more healthy — it is the best breakfast, best oatmeal I have had in years! This you must try — it is truly delicious!

Yola’s is a popular corner cafe in Madison that’s family owned and perhaps best known for their thick Golden Malted Belgian waffles. Grandma Yola prepared them the classic way, simply dusted with powdered sugar, however you’re able to create your own unique and delicious waffle however you like it. Ask for chocolate chips, strawberries, or blueberries baked into your waffle, and then pile it up with toppings like bacon, peanut butter, bananas, vanilla a la mode, and/or chocolate or caramel sauce.

Skip the supermarket and cancel the baby sitter. With so many kid-friendly eateries around, summer is a great time for a fun night out with the family.

In a recent poll, we asked our members to vote for their favorite place to take the kiddos for a bite. These restaurants will welcome your little ones with open arms (yep, really) and let you and your other half enjoy a night out, good food, and maybe even an adult beverage or two!

Yola’s is more kid friendly than just about any other coffee shop I’ve been to.

I just wanted to say thank you for the fabulous breakfast items ~ it was all thoroughly enjoyed! I appreciated all of your assistance in planning our event.

Yola’s Cafe brings a touch of family to Madison’s far west side

Charms include secret waffle recipe and Middleton-based Viamo coffee

Yola’s cozy vibe and darn good waffles make the short drive from the chaos of the mall area worth it any day. After a few visits, this bit of local flavor could even be called a home away from home, a thought Yola herself would surely smile about.

You all know it. That location that seems like a good spot for a restaurant but always ends with another eatery going out of business. When Lisa and Lance Ratze opened Yola’s Café in January 2009, it was fresh on the heels of a coffee shop that lasted only a year or so and another that made it only a few months. Watch the video to see Lance in person!
