I love this cute little shop! The Breakfast Burrito was soooo good and the Oreo Dream homemade ice cream in a waffle cone was scrumptious 😋 The staff was friendly, engaging and the music was fun! I will definitely be back!
The coconut mango had me floating on clouds. Love this place ❤️

The Good News Café & Ice Cream is an inviting spot on King Street in Madison, offering a delightful ice cream experience. This charming establishment serves a selection of 6-7 dairy-free ice cream flavors, catering to various dietary preferences and allergies. Known for its community spirit, the café is praised for its velvety and indulgent hand-scooped ice cream, with the blackberry vegan flavor being a standout choice. Customers have enjoyed unique flavors like Blue Moon, which has a marshmallow-like taste with a hint of almond, and delicious non-dairy options that are considered some of the best ever tasted. The café's warm and welcoming atmosphere, reminiscent of an old-school ice cream parlor, makes it the perfect place to satisfy a sweet tooth and enjoy a scoop of happiness.
The space has a great vibe, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, including patio seating, so visitors never feel crammed. The team behind the counter is friendly, helpful, and patient, often offering samples to help decide. Customers have tried flavors like vanilla, caramel honey peach, fig, and butter pecan, which are described as delicious, creamy, and full of flavor. The waffle cone is also highly praised for being good and not feeling "cheap." While the ice cream can be a bit pricey for a single scoop, the quality and variety make it worth a visit. Some reviewers note that the ice cream doesn't particularly stand out to make them want to return again and again, but many find it to be a fun treat and a place they want to come back to.
The shop offers a loyalty card, and service is fast, warm, and welcoming. Parking can be tricky, especially on weekends, so visitors should be prepared to walk a bit. The café also serves breakfast, lunch, coffee, and other cold beverages. It has additional seating in a side room, and unique flavors like watermelon mint, tajín mango, blueberry lavender, and blue moon are available, with options to try a flight of different flavors for variety. Each visit brings the excitement of new flavors, with no frost burn or leftover crumbly ice cream as found at other places, making it one of the top spots for ice cream in downtown Madison.
