Overall, good ice cream and a nice little spot to stop, but pay attention to the order at checkout. Saluti.

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!

I was gifted a six pack of Insomnia Cookies, so really, who am I to complain?…read more If you haven't had late night cookies, available for carry out or delivery, you need to try this. I rate four stars instead of five because there is a truly 5 Star cookie delivery in town. For awhile Insomnia Cookies was the only game in town. But we're a couple years into the Crumbl experience and it is my preferred cookie shop. Insomnia has the edge if you like consistency of flavors, rather than the weekly rotations à la Crumbl. Insomnia Cookies are flatter and to my mind serving size manageable. One cookie (I hope) is a serving. Whereas at the other place, one cookie is multiple servings and you gain weight and take in too much sugar real fast! Insomnia Cookies is the originator of late night cookies in Madison and worth it especially near campus and downtown. Delivery beyond the local area is available so you can even gift your friend! From this insomniac and the company's college student insomniac founder to your eyes and taste buds, try it. Don't sleep on the oatmeal chocolate walnut.

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.

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!
