National Waffle Day is coming this Thursday, August 24. Are you ready? We sure are!

National Waffle Day is the perfect time to stop into a local diner for breakfast or brunch and enjoy a plate of homemade waffles. You'll have plenty of options near Madison homes for sale, as well as Fitchburg, Verona and everywhere else in between.

Let's take a closer look at just a few popular waffle joints around the Madison area:

• Yola's Cafe – 494 Commerce Drive, Madison, WI 53719
  Yola's Cafe makes waffles an integral part of the menu even when it doesn't happen to be National Waffle Day. In fact, there's a monthly specialty waffle flavor every month. Boasting "The Best Waffles in Wisconsin," $1 from every purchase of the month's specialty waffle always goes to local nonprofits. You can savor delicious food and support a good cause, too!
  
  
• Bassett Street Brunch Club – 444 Johnson Street, Madison, WI 53703
  As the name suggests, Bassett Street Brunch Club might just turn out to be the perfect place to score a platter of waffles piled high with your favorite fresh fruit, whipped cream, syrup, and more. The specialty is the "Fool's Gold" waffle dish. This is a fresh waffle spread with hot peanut butter ganache, dressed with locally produced bacon and a banana crème brûlée style. It's finished with strawberry preserves and maple syrup.
  
  
• Oasis Cafe – 2690 Research Park Drive, Fitchburg, WI 53711
  Oasis Cafe isn't a mirage, but you might not believe your eyes when you see its waffles, pancakes, and other tasty breakfast specials. This is the place for locally roasted coffee, bakery items, and the signature pelmeni – a Slavic-style meat dumpling wrapped in thin, unleavened dough. The best time to appreciate lunch and brunch is on Sunday when the Oasis Cafe is open from 8 a.m. to noon and offers seasonal outdoor seating. It's another terrific reason to choose Fitchburg homes for sale, some of which are just a few minutes away.
  
  
• Icki Sticki – 407 West Verona Avenue, Verona, WI 53590
  Don't let the name fool you: Icki Sticki, which is a brand new ice cream parlor near Verona homes for sale, is anything but "icky." One of the cornerstones of its menu is Belgian waffles, baked right on-site every day. In addition, you'll discover smoothies, boba tea, frappes, lattes, cold brew, and even Italian-style affogato, carefully prepared according to traditional recipes. It's a refreshing treat that just can't be beat!
  
  
• The Original Pancake House (OPH) – 5518 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53705
  The Original Pancake House is last but not least on our list of spots for National Waffle Day. Lovingly known as "OPH" to its friends, this local mainstay has recently started to use online ordering. Hours are 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. seven days a week, and it's absolutely worth getting up a little bit early to sample the legendary likes of the Apple Waffle, Bacon Waffle, Blueberry Waffle, Belgian Waffle, Coconut Waffle, and Pecan Waffle.
