We heard that this was supposed to be Madison's best ice cream so we had to check it out (we were…read morenot disappointed) As you enter the door you see the elongated freezer display case holding the multitude of unique and creative flavors. They ranged from the classics (think chocolate and vanilla) to the crazy culinary adaptations (raspberry lemon bar & bourbon espresso) We ordered a flight of four scoops so we could try some different flavors. I picked the peanut butter & jelly with pound cake and the bourbon espresso; she picked raspberry lemon bar and party animal. Everything tasted spot on, every flavor came through nicely in the ice cream.. the only con was the serving vessel, it was a wooden beer flight board but there were no cups or anything in the holes, the ice cream was just placed on the board which made for a mess when it began to melt.

The baked goods look amazing, with a wide variety of options. I tried two, a ginger bomb cookie and a Lady Lock vanilla and they were rich without being overly sweet. The cookie had a great texture and nice ginger chunks, and the pastry shell of the Lady Lock was great. Both could have used a touch more sweet to my taste. My vibe was more French pastry than American taste. I would try different things next time, which is okay as there as so much to choose from. Breakfast was a mushroom/egg/mozz/spinach on a biscuit. Great and full of flavor. Lasted me a long while. Cafe au lait was perfect. Friend and I sat and chatted in the somewhat uncomfortable cafe chairs. Atmosphere was lovely, quiet conversations and delicious smells. Will definitely try to return.

When we walked in, we noticed several tables, with only one other party enjoying their coffee. The atmosphere was not cozy like other cafes, coffee houses. A gentleman came over to take our order, and we saw the menu written on the wall. I decided on a banana date smoothie and a slice of pistachio tiramisu, while my friend ordered a fresh lemonade and a Mediterranean dessert. I debated getting the Dubai chocolate crepe, but the gentleman mentioned it would take 10-15 minutes to prepare, which felt surprisingly long given there was no one ahead of us. Ww picked up our food a few minutes after paying at the counter. The disappointment started with the banana date smoothie. It was extremely watered down--more like icy water, and I could barely taste banana or date. For $9, I couldn't help but wonder how much fruit was actually used. The pistachio tiramisu wasn't much better. While the edges were soft enough to eat, they were dry, and the whole thing was very frozen. When I mentioned this, the gentleman explained they had taken it out of the freezer three hours earlier. Honestly, it would be helpful if they told customers the tiramisu might still be frozen, or suggested other options if you plan to eat there but no warning was given. The lemonade was okay, and the Mediterranean dessert was bland until my friend added some syrup, which made it a bit better. All in all, I'm grateful my friend treated me, but we both agreed there's no need to return. The quality simply wasn't there, and the prices felt steep for what was offered. They offer Dubai chocolate bars but the price was ridiculous. I have had them in CA, NY and TX in 2024 and it looks like folks in Madison are now catching on this trend.
