When you're in the Cheese Capital, your first stop has to be a cheese shop--and Fromagination is…read moreone of the top-rated cheese stores in the U.S. for a reason. This place is a dream if you love cheese (or snacks in general). You can sample a ton of different cheeses, and the staff is super helpful at guiding you toward what you'll actually love. I tried multiple varieties and ended up taking home their top-selling, award-winning cheese--and wow, it lived up to the hype. 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. Save this for your next trip to Madison, Wisconsin!

This. Place. Is. Awesome! It was recommended on a work website, as a must visit when in Madison…read more And I can see why! It is a small shop that does big business. They have such a wonderful selection of all things cheese related. Not just delectable dairy, but all kinds of accoutrements, snacks, seasonings, even books about cheese. They have samples, sandwiches, and even glasses of wine available. It is a shopping experience. I was there on a random weekday, and the shop was busy. Though they were fully staffed and able to quickly attend to everyone there. Unfortunately, this was my first stop while I was out exploring the town, and I didn't want to go back to my hotel yet and didn't purchase anything. By the time I came back around, they had just closed. I will know better next time.

Recently we were at a party where the hostess had purchased a dozen or more cheeses from Cheesers -…read morethey were all great. So when we were heading to Stoughton we knew we needed to stop at this place. The store was hopping on a late Saturday morning. We were there for the cheese but the front part of the store was filled with wine and liquor (they also have a tasting room upstairs - apparently it is a do-it-yourself tasting). They also have gifts and gourmet foods. The cheese counter probably had over 100 selections. There were many tempting cheeses. We selected a smoked blue cheese that we are looking forward to try. Given the wide selection we will definitely stop here again when searching for interesting cheeses even though it is a 25 minute drive.

Since it was a Monday, most of the shops and restaurants were closed, but Cheesers was open -- and they had Babcock (UW-Madison) ice cream. It's a cute little shop with lots of gourmet food items, wines, and gifts. We got a couple of cones. Union Utopia for me, served in generous portions on a sugar cone. So good on a warm day. The owner was super nice and told us a little about the downtown area, especially the Opera House that offers concerts. Definitely seems like a place we'd love to come back to.

The store feels a bit sparsely stocked but they do have a nice selection of cheeses from around the state. They do offer some small samples. The prices are not cheap but similar to other specialty cheese stores around the area. We've picked up many different cheeses here over the years. This store isn't as nice or as well stocked as their location in Milwaukee on 3rd Street. I hope this place continues to survive on State Street.

We went on a Thursday in November at 11 am…read more Food 3/5: if you like grilled cheese and nothing else, this will be your favorite stop. Overall not many options besides grilled cheese. We all got grilled cheese variations with apples, salad and soup as sides. The chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese was overall the best. Both of the salads had rotten leaves, so best to avoid that unless you're ok picking through for good leaves. Service 5/5: the food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. Ambiance 1/5: we were very disappointed overall since they hype themselves up as an experience that includes cows. There were no cows in sight. I know during the summertime they will have baby cows, but overall to me there should be more transparency around not actually seeing cows when you visit the creamery. Other than that there is a small parking lot that can get very busy at times, but plenty of places to sit. We did love the kids playground outside but all of the bikes were broken/didn't work and the bags put away for corn hole. Overall we were really disappointed at this trip. No cows and lunch was just ok. If you are looking for a spot just for ice cream, they have amazing options and plenty of room for the kids to play, just don't tell your kids there are cows because you likely won't see any.

Service was very good. And in the mornings on the weekend, they had live music. We loved the vibe. And they even have classes how to teach you to make butter. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy this place one more time.
