| - I'm excited to write a review of Willalby's Cafe in Madison. As usual, my review is based on what my experience AS A VEGAN was at this establishment.
I was eager to go to Willalby's because they came up with good ratings on Happy Cow for a place to go for vegan breakfast all day. A friend and I met there. We got a nice booth seat easily because it was around 10:30 on a beautiful Saturday in Madison. I hear its usually more crowded. It was pretty warm inside but we got used to it.
The service was night and day. One server seemed inexplicably annoyed with us from the get go. The other couldn't have been more fun and friendly. So, we broke even I guess. At some point one of the servers and what I assume were customers who were friends broke into loud song along with one of the tunes being played. Okay, but it was a little distracting and annoying for my friend and I while we were trying to talk. I also was a little put off by seeing one of the servers puffing on a pipe in the kitchen. At least I think that is what I saw. I assume it was a vape, but can that even be allowed?? Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me.
On the menu there are delicious-sounding options for us vegans like vegan french toast, tofus skillet, and vegan biscuits and gravy. Sides like vegan sausage and vegan chefs make ordering even more fun. I got the vegan biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns and vegan sausage. By the way, they can crumble the vegan sausage into the gravy, or you can just get it on the side. Ah, choices...thank you!
The meal was spectacular. There was no question that I would be taking my leftovers home with me for a midnight snack. The coffee (of which we had 4 cups) was fresh and smooth.
So two thank you's that I want to throw out there then. First, thank you to Willalby's for making the vegan items clear on the menu. It's breakfast, I'm sleepy, I don't want to launch into an investigation of every ingredient in every vegan-sounding dish. You didn't require me to do that and I appreciate it! Second, thank you for having some sides I can eat. It makes the dining experience so much more enjoyable when there are choices to mix and match. I can't wait to come back and try the french toast next!
