I don't generally like wild combinations of flavors, but they had an Oreo ice cream that I just couldn't resist. It was incredible - not just some vanilla ice cream with Oreos in it... this felt like the actual creamy ice cream part was also Oreo flavor loaded. I could have eaten the whole tub by myself. The staff person there was very nice. I saw on their menu that they can also make some boozy ice cream concoctions, which is always a fun option so hopefully I'll be back to sample some of that goodness. The spoons also changed colors when it contacted the cold ice cream, so that was super fun. They also had a food/cafe menu if you want a meal with your ice cream!

My husband cannot have dairy or gluten, and they were happily able to accommodate him with a gluten-free sugar cone and strawberry hibiscus sorbet. it is super delicious. Classics like Rocky Road are a delight. My kids always love getting what used to be called the Superman before. Apparently there was a cease-and-desist for using the name. It is now known as superhuman. The parking lot is shared with a lot of other businesses, so parking can be a little challenging at busy times of the day. Great spot to go with the fam or when you are craving something sweet and cold. They do sell some of their flavors in pints. Unfortunately, none of them are the dairy free options. Hopefully one day they can sell pints of dairy free, sorbets and/or ice creams.

I was gifted a six pack of Insomnia Cookies, so really, who am I to complain?…read more If you haven't had late night cookies, available for carry out or delivery, you need to try this. I rate four stars instead of five because there is a truly 5 Star cookie delivery in town. For awhile Insomnia Cookies was the only game in town. But we're a couple years into the Crumbl experience and it is my preferred cookie shop. Insomnia has the edge if you like consistency of flavors, rather than the weekly rotations à la Crumbl. Insomnia Cookies are flatter and to my mind serving size manageable. One cookie (I hope) is a serving. Whereas at the other place, one cookie is multiple servings and you gain weight and take in too much sugar real fast! Insomnia Cookies is the originator of late night cookies in Madison and worth it especially near campus and downtown. Delivery beyond the local area is available so you can even gift your friend! From this insomniac and the company's college student insomniac founder to your eyes and taste buds, try it. Don't sleep on the oatmeal chocolate walnut.

They also have all the perfect add-ons for a cheese board, so it's an easy stop whether you're building a picnic, hosting, or just want a great souvenir from Madison.

There is some indoor seating and outdoor as well during the summer months. I don't think I've ever had anything I *disliked* here.
