All about bringing back memories, we went out of our way to go back to one of my daughter's favorite ice cream places while growing up. We frequented La Michoacana soon after it opened, loving the observation that it seemed to start out slow, but became a lot more busy as the word got out. It was the first Michaoacana that we frequented. Since then, we've visited others in SoCal, but there really is something about a first, especially if infused with nostalgia. I loved getting their goat's milk caramel ice cream, and as my daughter observed, we couldn't find this flavor anywhere else since we moved away. They still have it (though they call it toffee now). Prices have gone up (of course) and is actually comparable to the chain ice cream shops across town. As always, the workers are super friendly. Two scoops is $6.13 in a cup, and I got the mentioned toffee ice cream made with goat's milk. For me, it is still very good: very creamy with a very rich caramel flavor. My daughter said hers wasn't as good as she remembered, and she is pretty good about things like that so it must be different (which makes sense since they changed the name).

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.

Of course, we had to get the Mangonada but they also have a variety of ice cream flavors, in addition to drinks and savor items like elote. As far as the Mangonada, the medium size is a good amount to share and thought it was the right combo of sweet and slushy mango with the chamoy drizzle. It's maybe a tad steep at $7.99, but this is Madison after all, where everything is a tad more than you would expect. Overall, a great experience and we will be back! Would recommend!

This is my must-go spot when I have friends visiting from out of town. The flavors are constantly rotating, but if you follow their Instagram they update it with whats in stock. 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. But the stand out flavors for me includes: lavender honeycomb, harvest moon, and fluffy the mint slayer!

This last visit I got a hot dirty chai and a money business waffle that were both delicious. I also really liked that. They have a pay it forward wall, where several people paid for items for people in need. Staff was very friendly but it was a slight wait as there was only one person working. Overall great place.

It's not a huge space, but there were enough tables for everyone who was gathering in the coffee shop and our drinks were very good. Since we were staying there to drink and converse, our coffees and teas came in very cool ceramic mugs that were just fun to drink out of. It's nice that this place is near stuff, far enough away from the mall chaos, and still has a nice sized parking lot.
