Vegan Breakfast - Edit

Very charming welcoming neighborhood cafe in 1940 50s style. Fun to sit at the old timey counter and watch the variety of foods coming through the window. The neighborhood meets and greets here. Kinda like a watering hole for Middleton but attracts Madison people. This place has been around a long time when other establishment have come and gone. The place is always a hum of conversation and activity, people huddled together in amiable conversation. This is not a place to sit and do your email work because by and large people eating then moving on with their day. Management is highly experienced and hires well trained staff. The place is run in a friendly with well oiled efficiency. Sometimes I see waitresses carry 6-8 plates at a time.

I go there regularly for breakfast with a women's group and they have been very accommodating to my being vegan, especially when our group gets the Waitress Marla who advocates for my vegan breakfast with accommodations. I order tofu scramble with fried onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and sometimes sautéed spinach with hashbrowns done well, easy on the salt and oil. Sun-dried tomatoes can also be an addition. Instead of the biscuit, I ask for rye bread or sometimes sour dough because I avoid highly processed grains. I really wish their bakery would have an option of a whole grain or sprouted bread. They also have fresh fruit as an added side. Plant based whole foods can be found but you just have to hunt for them. I have also ordered toast with a side of avocado to make my own avocado toast as an alternative breakfast. Also available is large serving of oatmeal with fresh blueberries, strawberries, banana and or raisins. Not sure about craisens. You can ask for a sprinkling of nuts on top and nix the brown sugar cause it is not good for you. You can ask for soy or almond milk.

I generally ask for just plain coffee with soy or almond but they have a great soy latte if you are in the money or want to be fancy. You may wish to ask them to repeat the order so that you do not get dairy or cheese. Call ahead if you are bringing in a group larger than 6 so they can put tables together, however they do not take reservations. Find a non busy time to meet if going there with a larger group. Sometimes you can eat outside and umbrella tables in nice sunny mornings that are to the east of the building yet shaded from full sun and noise from the street. Will write more when I try some lunches and dinners. I like eating there. tip more

Pros: Staff friendly and willing to work with you., Mngmnt great understandng of vegan/veg lifestyle, Flexible and approachable

Cons: Does not mark menu with vegan options -Need to ask, Sort thru the menu cobble together vegan options, % of vegan/whole food options could be greater
