Life Is Better with Waffles
A sweet start to your day, and a taste of NoVo’s community events

Let’s be honest. There are few problems in life that can’t be softened by a golden, fluffy waffle. Especially when it’s fresh off the iron on a weekday morning. That’s exactly how residents at NoVo kicked off their day today, thanks to our latest resident event: a cozy community breakfast featuring the undisputed hero of breakfast carbs.
The scent of maple syrup and crispy batter wafted through the lounge as neighbors gathered around the waffle maker, loading up their plates with warm waffles, fresh fruit, bagels, and donuts. It wasn’t just a breakfast. It was a reminder of how shared moments, no matter how simple, can make apartment living feel a little more like home.
At NoVo, resident events are more than calendar fillers. They’re built-in chances to meet the people you pass in the hallway, to swap local restaurant recs, or just snag an extra cup of coffee. (Yes, we have that too. Complimentary, every day.) From yoga classes to holiday get-togethers, we believe community should come standard with the lease.
And for those mornings when you’d rather have someone else do the flipping? You’re in breakfast paradise. Living at NoVo means you're just a short stroll from some of Madison’s best breakfast and brunch spots. A few local favorites within walking distance:
- Ancora Café + Bakery – A bright, welcoming spot with excellent espresso, fresh-baked pastries, and creative breakfast plates.
- Marigold Kitchen – Bright, cozy, and serving up the kind of eggs Benedict that makes you text a friend mid-bite.
- Michelangelo’s Coffee House – A First Settlement staple for caffeine and pastries in a relaxed, artsy setting.
So if you’re on the hunt for apartments in Madison, WI, and you're looking for more than just square footage - something with character, connection, and the occasional waffle - we think you’ll love it here.
Come by for a tour. Or better yet, come hungry.
