Lazy Jane's

I'm in Madison for a wedding and staying at an Airbnb in the seemingly very nice Marquette neighborhood. I searched for places to go for breakfast my first morning and this is the one my brother ended up suggesting this place. It's a fun location with a lot of locally owned shops nearby. The decor is very country hipster. They have a nice amount of pastries lined up where you order it's really nice. Just before I ordered I guy yelled that it was a 30 minute wait from the time you ordered till you got your food. That's not horrible but for a couple slices of French toast that wait seems excessive no matter how busy you are. Fortunately you get your pastries and drinks at the counter. I ordered an earl grey tea, almond croissant, and their Texas French toast special. After we ordered we then had to find a seat every table was full but eventually my party was able to snag a table that others were leaving. The almond croissant was very nice, maybe a bit dense and a hair on the sweeter side but ultimately satisfying. When my French toast arrived it looked appetizing and tasted good but failed to truly impress me. I tasted like somewhat standard up market breakfast fair that couple with what is essentially just counter service and a long-ish wait makes me hesitant to want to go back even if I enjoyed my trip.

It's been awhile since I've been to Lazy Jane's, but it's still as good as I remember it to be. We stopped in for a late breakfast and of course I had to get a couple of scones for later. I just love the chill vibe here and they take credit cards now (not sure when they started to take them but last time I went they only accepted cash).

I stopped by on a Saturday morning for breakfast. One pays in the counter, gets a buzzer and finds a seat. I got a seat right away. My buzzer didn't work. Not sure if they forgot to buzz or the buzzer itself is faulty. I waited for about half and hour and checked about the situation. My food was sitting in the counter window all that time. So finally I was asked to take the cold food and eat. Then came the next problem. No forks. They are still washing. I waited for a while and got the forks. By then the problem shifted to no knives. Finally I collected the knives after a while. Granola with berries and banana was good. My other items were corned beef hash and taco omelette. Both were cold to appreciate the taste. I think taco omelette was better. Chai latte was fine. Overall, I found food ok. But this place is very disorganized.

Overall it was good. Not much to say - obviously the food isn't amazing but it was right for the moment and we'd go back for another sat or sun breakfast

I'm sorry, but no. Nobody told me I had to season my own food. Even multiple trips to the condiment station couldn't save this food. Ordered the seitan hash, since I am vegetarian and the reviews highly recommend it. Scrambled eggs came unseasoned, toast was dry (menu said it was buttered unless you ordered it vegan). Seitan hash was inedible. They don't use the softer seitan; this was rubbery fake meat product. It smelled like dog food. I took a couple bites of everything and tossed it in one of the bus bins for disposal. Gross.And the person at the register was not friendly.PS- I want my tip back.

I love how unique the decor is. It is overstimulating and I love looking at all of the interesting decorations. I stuck with a simple breakfast, and was satisfied with my decision. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon portion was fair, and the morning bun was delicious!! The only bummer is the hash browns have no crunch, and the lighting is a bright white making is less cozy than ideal... other than that I enjoy this restaurant. The food is always served fast and the cooks are always friendly.

We loved Lazy Jane's as much on our recent visit. A must when in the area!The scones, scrambles and sourdough rye is worth the trip.

Good food, I had the BLPT Order at counter service. Cool house with open balcony to the upstairs seating. Self serve silverware, water & clearing table. Clean rag available to wipe down the table too. Not a great place to take your elderly mother the stairs cases are tight and you need to go get your food when it's ready. Take it to go!

Love the uniqueness of this spot. The location is super cool and has a different ambiance depending on which way you enter! The menu is interesting and might take some time for you to decide with all the options (it's ok there's usually a brief wait so this fills the time perfectly). There's glass behind the cooking counter where you can watch the cooking staff prep your plates (kitchen is not as visible but you can still see a little). Food was precisely what was ordered and they have small stations for water, marmalades, jams and other condiments. I personally like the vibe self serve areas give. The decor is interesting and some of the books they have on display are classics and probably worth a lotof $$$. We definitely will return to this gem again!

Fabulous as usual!! Great sandwich with chips AND salad. Yummy scones. Comfy dining areas. Fast, courteous, cheerful staff.
