They have a wide variety of Babcock ice creams to choose from for cones and dishes and there are unique flavors of shakes, floats, and sundaes. We ended up ordering the cold brew coffee float which features Let It Ride cold brew coffee and the hot honey mango shake. Both were quite tasty, but the shake was a standout. It's a flavor we haven't seen around Madison before and it's wonderfully balanced between the sweetness of the mango and the slight spicing of the hot honey to make a delightful shake. Staff was very friendly and we were able to try some samples of the ice creams to decide what we wanted. There is also a nice patio setup off of the bike path in the back. As it was opening day, they are still working out some kinks and working on some fun other options for the menu. We spoke to the owner and it sounds like there will be some vegan options coming in the very near future in some sorbets.

We were just wandering through the building with our drinks when the staffer at Calliope (connected to Ian's Pizza) waved and offered us a sample of a few flavors. We didn't plan to order anything, and I explained we just picked up our drinks so didn't intend to order, but he suggested to sample something anyway as "ice cream goes good with lemonade." Very friendly and welcoming. I am sooooo glad we did sample the ice cream. The Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble was the best ice cream I have ever had. I ended up ordered a scoop in a waffle cone and enjoyed every bite. Just incredible. House-made. So rich. Small batches. Generous scoop for $6. My friend sampled something like "Breakfast Flavor" which was waffle, syrup and bacon (?) I believe. What a unique flavor combo! I will definitely return for another scoop next time I am in Madison. I am going to try to Lemon Lavender next, if it is still available. I love the cheery open setting and the quick service. Price was reasonable considering the high-quality. Loved this place!

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!

We've been fascinated that Chocolate Shoppe sends their special ice cream to independent ice cream shops across the country. Being in the Midwest for a vacation we made a special stop in Madison to see the Chocolate Shoppe flagship store, operating since 1964. The store is not large, but it has the good stuff: all 48 flavors! It took us a little time, but my wife finally chose Caramel Chaos, and my selection was PB Hearts Chocolate - never seen in CA - with peanut butter ice cream, chocolate layers and peanut butter cups. They have a few indoor tables and a number of outdoor ones as well. There was a steady stream of customers while we were savoring our ice cream. Still as the flagship store I was expecting a little more. First there is no indication that this in fact is a special store, with unique history. I wish there was a write up in the store about Chocllate Shoppe's founding family and how it all came about. And where they are today, with customers across the country. Still, this was a memorable stop for our ice cream pilgrimage.

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!

I'm going to start off this review by stating that I grew up in the Milwaukee area with Leon's and…read moreKopp's (and Le Duc's further out of the area). My life has been spoiled with good custard. Madison has plenty of good ice cream, but sometimes I want *frozen custard.* Rather than wait for my next trip to Milwaukee, I decided to finally give Michael's a shot. Note: Yes, I know about Culver's. Love their burgers. Their custard is fine and works really in moments of desperation. I decided to also try the basic (single) cheeseburger and fries to complete my dinner alongside my small vanilla malt. The fries were good, and I love that they're a sliced potato style that curls up as touch to create a perfect well for scooping into your custard. The cheeseburger was a very standard burger at $4, the reduced price as part of their 40th anniversary specials. Were I to get another burger, I would likely opt for one of the others that comes with toppings beyond ketchup. My shake was also fine. It was a bit on the thinner side, and I'm unsure if that's the custard or the ratio of custard to milk when mixing. Though I was giving a thicker straw, it wasn't needed. Overall, I liked my meal but was a little underwhelmed given the prices. I am intrigued by the rest of their menu, particularly the signature sundaes, so I will give the custard a further shot in the future. I can see why this is a popular Madison spot, especially on a summer night with its classic diner/soda shop vibes. I just continue to remain a spoiled Milwaukee custard loyalist.
