Maybe take a moment away from your social media and actually do some work that you are getting paid for. May I suggest taking out the trash? The ice cream was good but that was about it. The counter was also a mess. Think twice before coming to this place.

We always try to eat here when we are in town to visit family. The menu is quite good but the…read morespecials are usually even better. We had the Baja Shrimp Taco special last Wed and restaurant week started so we had the entire Thai tasting menu on Friday. It was fabulous - please check it out. It is Midwest hot, not Thai hot. Staff is always great. We almost always end with carrot cake - I had ZoeBakes carrot cake in the Twin Cities and it was not anywhere close to as tasty as The Cafe's version. I would agree with some other posts that the lighting in some areas makes it very hard to read the menus or see your food. Updated lighting would be helpful. We try to come early and get a spot near the windows so that we can see better.

They were pleasant to talk to and very patient. They make it all look so fun!

I tell you what, aside from its odd color, the great mix of Kit Kat, Halloween Oreos, cake batter ice cream, and M&Ms spooked my taste buds with how delicious the combination was! Its a great treat for the season. Definitely recommend stopping in and getting this ice cream! The staff was super kind and patient with explaining what all goes into the Boo Batter. Overall great experience; try the Boo Batter while you can!

It looks like most of the parking in the area is dedicated to staff and permits. We found a few metered spots down the street on Wallace and Beach. We tried cardinal tracks (chocolate ice cream with chocolate-covered raspberry cups and fudge swirls) and business brew (espresso and vanilla ice cream with espresso flakes and fudge swirls). The cardinal tracks were good but the espresso flavors from the business brew was nowhere to be found. It just tasted like another chocolate ice cream.

You may have to hike a little bit to get there, but the flavors on offer are more than ample reward. Be warned, however: in addition to being delicious, many of their flavors are riiiiich, so you may be tempted to use the little hand-wash sink in the small seating area to grab a quick swallow of water. Don't do it, you philistine! There are restrooms just down the hall with a drinking fountain you can use. Also, be sure to visit the courtyard on the ground level, and their awesome 'tribute to the Art of Dairy' cow-fountain, replete with bas-reliefs of the various stages of milk production.
