I would've never thought to see Purple Door Ice Cream in MADISON!!! I was so excited to see this…read morebecause I knew there'd be a wide variety of flavors to pick from. We jumped right into a scoop of the campfire - a smokey, non-marshmallow-based ice cream with chocolate and a cold brew blackberry chip - a caffeinated, not so bitter, sweet with blackberry chunks ice cream. The people who were helping us (who we also presumed had owned the place) were incredibly sweet and had us sample a ton of ice creams without asking. I guess in the same vein would recommend the salted vanilla bean!!

The owner is actually the sweetest soul ever. He gave me and my friend MANY samples without us even…read moreasking for them. The flavors are diverse and all tasted amazing and the price is great for the quality and size of what you get. I will definitely be returning and honestly I think this is one of the best ice cream shops I have been to in Madison.

Not to mention it was quite popular! I loved the selection of hot chocolate options and the translation for each. However I wasn't very impressed by the French one I ordered (dark chocolate plus vanilla). It was good but not as decadent as I was anticipating and even with 30 min to close I asked to dine in but they gave me everything in Togo containers. I also got a Swede sandwich- which was ham, Swiss and Dijon mustard. Nothing to write home about. It was very very average. However I did get an almond cookie with chocolate ganache which was fantastic. Sitting at a table in this shop and looking at all the treats was great. I have a feeling if I come back at an earlier time this place could really blow me away, but as of right now. It's mid. I'm not impressed and what was left at the end of the day was just average. Also the three items cost me about $20 so I would say this place Is on the pricer end

These fun milkshakes are the type you see in NYC and LA. They decorate the sides of the glasses, load up the toppings with local desserts in the milkshakes (like the cookie cups and cakes from Miggy's Bakes), have the cutest rainbow logo on the glasses, and are just delicious! The store itself is SO cute and instagramable. They have a gorgeous selfie wall that basically looks like a mural of Candy land. There are cute rainbows and decor everywhere that really adds to the vibe. They also go all out when decorating for private parties, go check out their Instagram, it's insane! The service is great and the staff is super friendly. They're really quick at making these complex desserts as well. They do a lot of cool things like handing out ''kindness tokens'' when employees see people in the community doing any acts of kindness. I love the concept of the business; focused on kindness, crafting unique and delicious desserts, supporting other local businesses, and making the inside cute and welcoming to all! I'm already addicted and keep returning for more. Go check Creekside Scoop out!!

Stopped in for a late night ice cream run and grabbed a gallon of milk as well because we needed it and it was one less stop. The ice cream was delicious- the banana bread French toast is a must try!!! Banana bread ice cream with pieces of crunchy French toast. Also beware because their sundaes are huge and can definitely be shared - it was loaded with Caramel and hot fudge, soo good. They also serve coffee in their ice cream shop. The grocery store/butcher shop had tons of variety! A wall of wine of every selection, can goods, cheese, fresh produce - basically everything you could possibly need. Love that they have outdoor seating and water bowls for the pups. A place I will definitely be back to visit or two.

The inside of the shop also carries goodies like cheeses and sparkling drinks, which I thought was so fun! I got a classic pairing of vanilla and chocolate and enjoyed every lick of it!

We had been looking for a local farm-to-table experience when we found Campo di Bella. Our first…read morevisit was a Saturday evening which consisted of a five course meal. Everything about the evening was exceptional. The first course was bruschetta, followed by a refreshing fresh salad with lemon dressing. The main course was flank steak, cooked perfectly. This was followed by a cheese board with delectable cheese samples from local dairies. For dessert, they had an absolutely amazing home made vanilla ice cream. It was rich, creamy, and very tasty. We enjoyed it so much, that we immediately reserved a second dinner which had cider braised pork shoulder as the entree. Again, the meal was exceptional. It started with prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe. I've never had prosciutto sliced so thinly, it was tender and flavorful. This was followed by a butternut squash soup that was thick and rich. I didn't know butternut squash could be so flavorful. I cleaned my bowl so thoroughly that the host jokingly asked if they forgot to serve me. The pork was next. Served with honey crisp apples. It was tender and perfectly juicy. Again, a cheese board was served before dessert. All very tasty local cheeses. For dessert, a French apple tart. I could have eaten a whole tray, it was so good. I've now been there over 20 times. Every time has been exceptional. They offer a variety of wines, ciders, and local beer to go with your meal. They also make their own vermouth which is sweet, with a hint of clove. It's so good, in fact, that we like it on the rocks. Not mixed. The host, Mary Ann, is wonderful. She takes time before each course to provide background on the home grown or locally sourced ingredients. She also gives a history of the farm and her family and, if the season permits, offers a tour of their farm. Marc (Mary Ann's Husband) is the chef. He is a culinary wizard. As I mentioned, I've been back over 20 times, which equates to almost 80 different dishes. All of them amazing! My only criticism (it's a minor one) is that the room is small and cozy and it can get a bit loud inside. It depends on the crowd, but it can be a bit hard to carry a conversation. In summary: exceptional food and exceptional people. I could not recommend it more. Update (12/13/24): We've been coming back to Campo di Bella for the last 5 years. At least 60 times or more and we've never been disappointed. Marc and Mary Ann are incredible hosts that continue to create amazing meals and experiences.

I am not usually a fan of chocolate, but this was delicious! At this restaurant, they use local ingredients as much as they can, too. Give Campo a try if you haven't already.

We tried the following traditional ice cream flavors: "This Just Got Serious"-which if I remember correctly was a caramel ice cream with cashews and chocolate pieces in it-it was delicious. "Blackberry Lemon bar"- lemon ice cream with lots of blackberry ribbon throughout, pieces of lemon bar in it. "Gumball"-tasted like pink bubble gum. "Zoreo"- I believe was chocolate with Oreo cookie pieces. "Sticks and Stones"-chocolate covered pretzels, caramel ribbon and marshmallow ice cream. They only offer drive-thru or walk up options. They have an outdoor patio area. Keep in mind if you have small children that this is on the corner of 2 main roads so you will need to keep an eye on them if they wonder. Staff was very friendly and took the time to explain the flavors to us. The amount of money we spent (around $7) for five kids scoops of ice cream was about $10 less than we would've spent at Dairy Queen, and it tasted better. I hear they also offer tasty popcorn. We didn't get any this time but will come back to try again due to the good customer service and delicious ice cream.
