We love this little diner that has a historic, eclectic feel! It was really good, with the exception of the dressing on the salad. It was a little too bland for our house. We loved the hummus on the Mediterranean plate! You can tell it is homemade with love! read more

I finally made it to Lazy James in Madison, and let me tell you--it was worth every second of the wait. The setup is casual and inviting: you order at the counter, grab a seat, and wait for your name to be . The menu is small with a focus on classic breakfast staples. They also have a variety of scones and pastries that are perfect with a cup of coffee or as a sweet finish to your breakfast. It does get busy, especially on weekends. I visited during peak hours and had to wait,but they move people through pretty fast. If you're looking for a relaxed breakfast spot that delivers on flavor and charm, Lazy James should be on your list. read more

Scones were amazing and iced coconut latte was also really good. We had the lemon and chocolate scone; lemon was moist and fresh but chocolate was a tad bit dry. Biggest negative was the staff. The lady that took our order was dismissive and rude. When we ordered an iced latte, we asked for a small and she said in a negative and derogatory tone that we couldn't and needed to get a large. I thought I was overthinking it but the person I was with also agreed that she was overly rude. We noticed WiFi was not available so we asked about this too and she was very dismissive and simply said no WiFi available then. read more

This was my first meal in Madison and it did not disappoint! There were so many delicious options on the menu and in the pastry case, but I went with the veggie frittata special and split a blackberry scone with my friend. The scone was perfectly moist and had whole blackberries inside, with a delicious sweet glaze on top! This may have been the best scone I ever had and I wish I lived close so I could try more flavors! The meal was delicious as well, and I loved that they had fresh jams to use on the toast. I also had a hot mocha latte which was absolutely delicious, and I'm picky with hot coffee! The service was very quick and the inside is adorable, with a very homey vibe. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area for a cute little brunch spot. read more

One of my fav breakfast spots (and really the only) that I went to when I lived in Madison. I still have dreams about the raspberry and lemon scones. Menu isn't your typical breakfast that you find, though they do have a basic eggs, hash-brown, and protein w/ toast option. Chai tea latte was always good, however, very very hot. Sometimes too hot to enjoy with breakfast so I'd recommend asking for them to not make it with scalding hot water. If you want to get the scones, make sure you get there early before all the good ones run out. Service here was meh. Typical order food at the register and find your own place to sit. No personalism with the staff at the register really. Again, make sure you get here early as sometimes later in the morning or afternoon you'll have to wait for seating. This goes for parking. Sometimes the parking lot is a disaster. Very cutely decorated, overall 10/10 recommend read more

FAVORITE. I've came here for about a year now and it's amazing, cute area, cute vibe, cute decor, amazing food! Thanks Jane!!

My fiancé really wanted a waffles so we ended up here on Sunday morning! The food was delicious. My eggs were perfectly cooked and the hashbrowns were nice and crispy. He loved the waffle with all the toppings. The gal taking orders was very personable and answered our questions honestly. The restaurant itself is super quaint and cozy, perfect for a Sunday breakfast. There's lots of street parking around if the lot is full! We will definitely be back. read more

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). read more

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. read more

The food tasted like a home cooked meal. A little tiny, but I like the way they run their operation. I'd definitely come back again.

Lazy Jane's is such a staple on Willy Street! It's very unique and eclectic and a fun casual spot. You order at the counter and they call out your order when it's ready. We've ordered many things but this last visit I chose the waffles. They are fluffy and delicious! I will say at times, the service is slow, but they are always busy so it's just something to keep in mind, especially if you're going on a weekend! read more

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. read more

Lazy Jane's - SCC scramble and BLT - Bakeries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

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. read more

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. read more

The setting itself is really pretty and aesthetic, but there were multiple hairs in my girlfriends food. Staff was nice and experience was chill nonetheless, but I'm definitely not coming back given how much I spent. Plus no accommodation for an entire meal ruined. Just wear hairnets. Also the food tasted like McDonald's lowkey, shit was weak. Will never be coming back I'm w that other reviewer didn't know I had to season my own shit too. And my order was wrong I had to go ask for it twice until I sent in the big guns (my gf). read more

Lazy Jane's is such a cozy little spot! You order food up front, wait for them to call your name, pick it up at the window, and find a table to sit at. I love taking our meal upstairs, it feels like we're sitting in a little cottage. Anyway, on to the food. I always get the tofu scramble, a scone, and a chai latte. Everything is so flavorful and yummy. It's a little expensive, we usually spend around $40 for two on brunch, but the portions are large. The staff are friendly and helpful. Always happy going here!! read more

Dang what a cute place!! Lots of paintings of vintage gals adorning the walls. Kooky colors and mismatched furniture. Truly screams Willy St. we came in for lunch, and it was super solid. Got a grilled cheese and tomato soup- can't go wrong there. I got a Turkey sando also great. I wasn't astounded by the food but it was still good, and I think it's really more of the quaint campy experience that brings you here. Would recommend trying! read more

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.

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 lot of $$$. We definitely will return to this gem again! read more

Visited Lazy Janes for brunch last Saturday with my girlfriend. The venue was very unique as the restaurant reminded me of a historic house. The decor and furniture had a type of controlled chaos look and looked very creative. We initially got the blackberry scone and it was absolutely delicious. The scone had a hint of lemon inside which was very tasty. For brunch, I got one of the egg and meat plates and the plate was good. My favorite part was probably the hash browns which were crispy yet light and fluffy. Overall, very solid spot for brunch. read more

This is honestly my go to breakfast place on the isthmus. Food: Lots of freshly baked goods -- highly recommend any of their scones. They have a board of specials every day. Any choice is a good choice. Coffee is also great. You get one refill with your purchase -- just go back up to the counter. Love their hazelnut coffee. I love love love their hashbrowns. I always go for a special because you can go anytime for their regular menu items. Self-Serve: They will announce your name when your order is ready and you pick it up from their food counter. Lots of different condiments and spreads too. Water is on the opposite wall. Also, clean up your own table afterwards! Seating: there is seating upstairs too. Great for small groups but also family friendly. Feels very accessible. Parking: small parking lot most of the year -- summer may be different with more outdoor seating. Plenty of street parking! Enjoy! I can't wait to go back each time I think of this place. read more

Located in a green house with mismatched furniture and cozy vibes, Lazy Jane's is my GO TO breakfast spot in Madison. Order at the counter, walking past the irresistible bakery case. I particularly recommend their blueberry scones. Packed with flavor and berries, they just about melt in your mouth! The breakfast menu is short but offers some tasty classic and original options. I am a big fan of their Seitan hash. The red peppers give it great flavor! Chose a place to sit either downstairs or upstairs and admire the eclectic artwork. You'll feel like you're at Grandma's house! When you hear your name called, pick up your plate at window downstairs. Don't forget to grab silverware and some hot sauce! read more

Delicious scones, best for couples and to-go orders on weekends due to crowded but super cozy atmosphere.

I'll say that in general I agree with most of the reviews here. Fun place to eat, nice ambience, generally good food if a little on the high price side. When I went in I did not realize there was no wait staff. When we gave our order and the cashier then swung the screen to me with the suggested tip (which I think is tacky) I still did not realize there was no wait staff. Asking for a tip, especially at amounts that at least imply your helping pay the wait staff, when in fact you're delivering your own food is at best tacky. In addition to serving myself I get to bus my table too. That's fine. I do it at McDonald's, et al too. I am not expected to leave a tip either. Adding insult to injury I'm a little bit older guy (and yea I'll own maybe being a little curmudgeonly). I have balance issues. Carrying food upstairs when you have to hold a banister is a little bit of a challenge. Fortunately we found a table downstairs. Of course if they had a wait staff that matched the tip I'd not have to carry it up the stairs. read more

Stopped by for a blueberry scone, raspberry scone, and a morning bun. I thought that the scones were really good - soft and moist on the inside and very flavorful. The fruits are fresh and tasty. The morning bun was a bit hard to eat, it was not easy to chew and really was just a glorified cinnamon roll. I think it would've tasted great warm and soft though! The employees are nice, but I felt a bit rushed. I like that there is an inside space for dining! read more

We were traveling through Madison and needed a breakfast stop that would satisfy adults and kids. This was the place. The positive attitudes of the staff helped make the stay even better. I had the monthly special of a veggie scramble. It was very fresh and tasty. I was given multiple different options for sides. For my kids (6-11) they had the Belgium waffles (the two littles split) and French toast. All kids were happy with the food. There was upstairs seating as well as downstairs. Even though my kids weren't exactly quiet, the tables were spread out to where they weren't disturbing others trying to have a nice breakfast. Overall, this place was exactly what we were looking for and would recommend to solo, couples or family. read more

Don't buy just one and walk away. You'll regret it more than the extra calories you have just packed on. read more

Such a cute and homey breakfast spot! It is an older home converted restaurant and has all the breakfast favorites. One of those places where the mugs and chairs don't match but adds to the character of the place. The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly!
