Yolas is an example of why we moved from Chicago to Madison! The owners are behind the counter, friendly.
The Waffles are their specialty, get them a la mode! We bring our 2 year old to "Waffles with Santa" their annual community Christmas event. Having "Liked" their facebook page, I can see they do a number of events like this.
Free Wifi is handy, but they also have a computer I can use if I forget my laptop. The kid's play area is always clean which is huge for us. The roast beef sandwich has a horseradish mayo and caramelized onions, my fave. We have a small business and have had them do some catering which was a pretty inexpensive way to go and Lance was able to customize it to our needs. He has an old fashion cappuccino machine to bring to fancier events. Pretty happy to have found "our" community cafe/coffee house.
