We come to Magpie just about two to three times a week. Unfortunately, the weekend service is…read morebecoming pretty subpar from what we are used to. This morning we came in at 9:00 ordered two crepes and two coffees. We had to change one of our normal crepe orders because they were out of lemon curd and said it would be about 20-30 minutes before it was ready. Since we had other errands we switched that to a chocolate hazelnut crepe. At 9:44 we have finally received two coffees and one crepe. The one crepe (cinnamon brown sugar) they did deliver was over cooked to the point you needed a knife to cut it and it was still hard. At this point we could have waiting for the lemon curd to have been made. I hope the service improves as we love coming here, but too many of these incidents have resulted in this review.

To be honest, we visited twice in one day, for coffee and wine during the day, and then for night cap or two later at night. Had great service both times, awesome friendly staff, live music during the night, and surprisingly good and diverse wine list. Yea, we haven't tried chocolate, and it did look good too, by the way, but the wine, service, and atmosphere were all so nice, that we could do without chocolate!

I sadly don't eat candy too much at all anymore but me and my wife recently stopped her to see what…read morethis place had to offer and maybe there are some treats for the road. The lady that was working here was very friendly. They had a small selection of ice cream as well. I loved how the candy was all separated from different regions and even the vegan ice cream had its own little booth. I thought the selection was pretty fair for what it was prices might be a little high but it was a great casual store worth checking out.

I stopped by on a Saturday noon. The place was not busy. They have many interesting kinds of…read moreinternational chocolates including multiple flavors of kitkat.

As always, really good Mexican style ice cream in a non-descript, empty strip mall in Madison's…read morewest side. All about bringing back memories, we went out of our way to go back to one of my daughter's favorite ice cream places while growing up. We frequented La Michoacana soon after it opened, loving the observation that it seemed to start out slow, but became a lot more busy as the word got out. It was the first Michaoacana that we frequented. Since then, we've visited others in SoCal, but there really is something about a first, especially if infused with nostalgia. I loved getting their goat's milk caramel ice cream, and as my daughter observed, we couldn't find this flavor anywhere else since we moved away. They still have it (though they call it toffee now). Prices have gone up (of course) and is actually comparable to the chain ice cream shops across town. As always, the workers are super friendly. Two scoops is $6.13 in a cup, and I got the mentioned toffee ice cream made with goat's milk. For me, it is still very good: very creamy with a very rich caramel flavor. My daughter said hers wasn't as good as she remembered, and she is pretty good about things like that so it must be different (which makes sense since they changed the name).

This is a bright, welcoming, beautifully decorated and spacious coffee shop that also sells ice…read morecream, baked treats, real meals, and has ice cold cans of Diet Coke!!!! The staff was exceptionally friendly and made us feel like regulars, even on my first ever visit. I didn't order a meal, but they offer a full menu, plus the baked goods looked delicious. There are art and pottery for sale, made by local artists and a young potter. I picked up two pieces of pottery, for a great price. The art was out of my budget, but was truly stunning! I wish there was a Java Cat in every town. So lucky to have found it on my visit to Madison last weekend. I'll definitely return!!

I decided to come here before I went to work, and needless to say I love this place. The atmosphere…read moreis very cozy and feels like a house mixed with a business, and the food is very delicious. I also like how they often play international music that celebrates different cultures and traditions rather than just American music, and in a very divided world that means a lot to me. Overall, I highly recommend coming to this place. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is lovely.

After how she addressed us, I asked if she was a 4 year old, of which she replied "no, you are!" I'm pretty appalled a woman of her age would act like an actual child! I love to always support local, and this is the time to do that, but this woman needs to get back on her broom and go back to her dark mean place. What a shame that this is how she conducts herself. I should have read the reviews before we stepped foot in here. Too bad. Perhaps the next shop that opens In this space will be far better owners!

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.

A summer staple in Madison! The turtle sundae is absolute perfection. The caramel, hot fudge, and…read morepecans make for an amazing salty/sweet combo. A friend I was with recommended the cheese curds, and they delivered! Which is a big deal for a born and raised Wisconsinite! The breading wasn't too thick or oily, and they stayed hot. Service was very fast, and the outdoor tables were clean and available to sit at. I love that each table easily seats up to six. Cute spot for a sweet treat. It even drizzled a little, but the umbrella over the table kept us completely dry.
