Yola's Cafe and Coffee Shop of Madison

Just went there foe the first time and omg so happy with their gf food! Everything is clearly marked and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Menu is a little limited for gf but it really is just a brunch place so I am not expecting a huge selection. The truely surprising thing was their gf waffles. They tasted great, but they on the dense side but it is actually a good thing because for real one of those waffles and your good for the morning. Can't wait to go back!

The GF waffles are delicious! They have a separate waffle iron and other GF options

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of inconsistency. They now have a dedicated waffle maker for gluten free waffles, BUT bread for gf sandwiches is shared with regular bread. If they can have a dedicated gluten free waffle maker, it would make sense to have a dedicated toaster as well. At minimum, they should inform customers of cross contamination issue. I ate there and ordered a gf waffle and a sandwich. Was only told after I ate it that it wasn't in a gluten free toaster. I had to ask. They didn't let me know ahead of time. I appreciate the effort. It would be so much better if they got consistent and informed people when they order gf.

The Gluten Free Waffles are not cooked in a dedicated waffle iron and was told the syrup isn't gluten free either. Keep this in mind if you are sensitive to your allergy. I was looking forward to the waffles but ended up with a BLT that is cooked on a separate grill. I also the bottomless coffee, the coffee of the day by the Door County Coffee and Tea company was great!

The gluten free waffles are the best!! All of their drinks are amazing, too, so you can't go wrong with anything that you order. Great place!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of my favorite coffee shops on the west side of Madison. Made-to-order sweet or savory GF Belgian waffles available, frequent buyer card for their drinks AND waffles, and free wi-fi, too!
