And shout out to the young lady running this place, your baking is amazing! My wife and I were referred here by the staff at River Road Coffee House (check out my review over there too!), and I'm doing the same for you. I'm gluten free, and my wife is gluten, dairy, and egg free so we plan as though we are on our own in the small towns we love to visit so much. Boy we're we wrong in Newark, OH! Madelyn's is a treasure. We tried the cinnamon roll bar (stocked at River Road Coffee), two different kinds of muffins, a jalapeño "cheese" focaccia, and homemade oatmeal crème pies. My only complaint was that the focaccia was a little dry. The oatmeal crème pies were so good! I'm sure they're even better when fresh. The shop is warm and inviting, and the staff were very friendly and helpful! Again, another place in central Ohio that we will be back to!

I found this place while exploring North Market and decided to give it a try because I liked what I…read moresaw. The display of chocolates was completely mesmerizing and contained a wide variety of truffles and handmade candy bars. The shop owner was very friendly and also gave recommendations on what to try. I tried only two truffles because I was so full from all the foods I tried before: Lavender Hand Rolled Truffle: The truffle itself was very dense and rich with a strong presence of cocoa. Every bite melted in my mouth just like any good quality chocolate. What ruined this one was the lavender flavoring which was so overpowering that all I could taste was cocoa and lavender. Vietnamese Cinnamon Hand Rolled Truffle: I really enjoyed this one. The cinnamon and honey in the truffle paired perfectly with the strong cocoa flavor and the chocolate itself was very rich. If I was ever in the area again, I would probably come by to try their handmade candy bars and white chocolate items.

The staff was so friendly and took the time to tell us about their various products. They had some really neat options, including Filipino tokels, described as a shortbread, a Welcome to Fall "WTF" cake with apples and cinnamon, a lemon cookie called a lemondino, and a whole lot more. I was intrigued by the sampler box, which had pieces of all of their small treats to try, but the youngest member of the group had immediately zeroed in on the truffle fudge and voted quite strongly for the entire La Patricia box (6 pieces of chocolatey fudge with a hint of peanut butter). The fudge was rich and delicious and much and enjoyed, and I'm still interested in going back to try some more of these delightful treats!

Staff: The employees were very kind and kept talking about how muscular and tall I was and asked me for tips. Very fun conversations. Service was great and our orders were delivered perfectly. Mom almost died last year from stage 4 cancer, but we healed her with conspiracy medicine. Now since cancer she gets confused sometimes and had us sitting in the reserved seating, and the staff did not ask us to move. Very friendly which is typical for country Ohio people, love it. 5 stars. Food: Parents ordered ice cream and I ordered a shake. All three of us enjoyed our orders. 4.5 stars. Ambiance: Volume is not too loud and conversation inside is easy, but if you sit at the outdoor tables the live music was too loud and hard to hear conversations. Indoor has air conditioning and about 15 tables for sitting. Outdoor has 7 tables for sitting. This location also has a shelter house for events and a pond and restrooms. 4 stars. Overall: This is a great place to come on a weekend and get ice cream with family, dates, or friends. I can imagine someday taking my friends from Ohio (and other states) to eat, then driving here for ice cream.. fun Ohio getaway weekend. (4+5+4.5+4)/4 = 4.375 stars.
