Madison is lacking in good, artisanal ice cream spots - but this one fills that gap tremendously!…read moreThat and the business's continued mission of donating a portion of their profits to local social justice organizations makes it a no-brainer for you to stop by and spend your money here. 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 time I got a double scoop ice cream cone with orange custard, chocolate chip and the occasionally available, Blue Moon. It's always hard for people to describe what the flavor of Blue Moon is. It's kind of berry flavored but not blueberry. But it is delicious. I was wearing a tie and the person working the cash register offered me a cup along with my cone "just in case." It was very warm outside. The clerk knew exactly what he was talking about. I still ended up with "Blue Moon" ice cream on my purple tie. It's off to the dry cleaners now.

The cappuccino was fantastic as well, just the right balance of rich coffee and frothy milk. I also tried the Kenefeh, and it was delicious! The flavors were spot on, nothing we had was overly sweet which was nice. I really enjoyed the background music! The owner is incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing desserts! Highly recommend checking this place out!

My friend took me out for my birthday and hinted there would be a surprise at the end. Knowing I'm…read morea huge tiramisu fan, she brought me to a new dessert spot in town. 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.

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 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.

She is personable, and gives great recommendations. I am a sucker for tajin and chamoy on top of something sweet. This place carries a mangolata popsicle that satisfies my dessert needs every time.
