I was first introduced years ago to Daisy when I received a package of their delicious cupcakes for my birthday. Fast forward a few years, and I finally had the opportunity to visit a few months back for brunch.
I love the small cafe feel of Daisy and it's a nice change of pace from some of the larger brunch spots in Madison. You instantly feel very welcome and at home in the bright and cheery decorated restaurant. We were quickly seated inside, and I have to say the service was great. On this particular day, I was extremely under the weather and barely had a voice. But, our experience made up for it.
I really wanted to try one of the signature egg casserole dishes, and ordered the Crimini Mushroom & Gruyere Strata. Unfortunately, after placing the order our waitress came back to let me know that they had just run out of that item for the day. No worries. I had heard the egg sandwich was great as well so placed an order for the Award-Winning Egg Sandwich. It comes with fried egg, bacon, cream cheese, purple onion and cilantro on grilled rosemary bread and is served with oven-roasted potatoes and fresh fruit. Basically it's delicious.
I also of course had a bloody which was good and some coffee to wake me up a little. After devouring brunch, our waitress brought us our check and to our surprise had taken fifty percent off my my particular meal because my original order wasn't available. Completely unexpected but also very kind of her! It's those little things that make such a difference.
I couldn't leave Daisy without ordering a couple cupcakes to go. They were almost all gone as it was later in the morning. TIP - They can quickly sell out of cupcakes. If you're planning on birthday orders or any pick ups I would definitely call in advance and plan ahead.
This is definitely a place you should try out. Prices are great and the food and service fantastic.
