| - Back in June, I was spending a night in Madison on my way back to Chicago and put out a call on Twitter for suggestions of places to eat breakfast while I was there. When all four of the people I specifically asked suggested Lazy Jane's, I knew that was the place to go. I was absolutely won over by every aspect of this place.
The cafe itself was totally adorable, and the staff was super friendly. I loved the mismatched plates and silverware. The whole place had a very cozy, eclectic feel to it. And nothing makes you feel more welcome in a new restaurant then when they give you free food! That's right, if you've never been to Lazy Jane's before they give you a few scone.
The food was delicious. I played it safe with the eggs, potatoes, and toast, but in retrospect, I wish I'd been a bit more adventurous. The breakfast potatoes were fabulous - and I'm VERY picky about my breakfast potatoes - and the scones were absolutely out of this world! We actually stopped at the bakery next door to pick up a couple to take back to Chicago with us.
I hear this place gets pretty crowded on the weekends, and I can understand why. However, it was only about half full, and there was no line, when we arrived about 9:30 Sunday morning. I chalked this up to fate, luck and the fact that the street it's on was totally torn up at the time.
I definitely understand why it was a unanimous suggestion among my friends.
