“My mom and I were picky customers taking at least 5 minutes to decide but the man at the counter was friendly and patient and suggesting flavors based on our preferences and feedback after the samples. He helped craft my ice cream and the store lets you add nuts or Oreos or chocolate as toppings. Also they make their waffle bowls in-house and it was tasty. Also had nondairy options with oat milk which I considered but the coconut ice cream was also good“

Mangonada 80s

“Some excellent ice cream with many unique flavors. The owner is very personable. Seems to a mixture of ice cream and sorbets. Tried a quinabana? It was mellow but very good, but it was a rude awakening to find non chewable nuts in it. Labels attached to the glass / near the ice cream would also help me understand my options, it is too much information to take in verbally.“

Paradise Ice Cream Ice Cream Shop • $$
4552 Monona Dr, Madison

“I was there on a weekend afternoon. There wasn't much rush at that time. Most of the people came in for their ice cream. I too had 3 scoops of ice cream and loved every flavor. Smore, gansita and eggnog were my flavors. May be the gansita was my top favorite, followed by smore followed by eggnog. Mexican corn was very simple but super delicious. Horcheta was really good as well. Gaspacho was a very different type of drink I had. It cannot even be called as a drink. It was not sweet, but rather spicy and flavorful. There was ton of solid fruit chunks, you need to eat most of it using a spoon. The taste may not be for everyone, but I liked it.“

“Ordered a cake for my daughter’s 11th birthday. Omg. The decorations were amazing. With very little information to go on, they created a beautiful cake. We chose the flower theme and the colors of purple, orange, yellow and black. And made a note that she is having a cat themed party and loves Halloween colors and asked if they could fit a black cat on there. The cake was perfect! Thank you so much!“

“I really love this place for the cozy community atmosphere and I come here often. Generally I’m really happy with the quality of food for the price. However, recently I got a panini for $11 and felt it was over priced considering there was only one slice of meet and 2 tomato slices in the panini with a side of chips.“

“Best ice cream in Wisconsin. ☺️ Very clean environment with a broad selection of rich wares to select from. It seems you really cannot go wrong, though I can strongly recommend the lemon poppyseed and the chocolate flavors. Just heavenly. There is a very pleasant little outdoor seating area around the back complete with umbrellas for shade.“

“Everything is very nice about this place...except the COFFEE...in my humble opinion. Its a matter of personal taste of course, but wow, its the weakest coffee...even the French Roast. I have preferred the more robust rich coffees at Ancora or Starbucks or others but I have revisited 3 times to give it a chance but its not a mistatke, the coffee is just weak. They get plenty of business so I guess its just not for me.“

“The sandwiches are very delicious. I loved the Bucky’s Veg Out. I tried the Blueberry Swirl ice cream, no lie, it’s the best ice cream I’ve ever had. It’s so rich and creamy and the blueberry flavor tasted so fresh and strong. Better than Chocolate Shoppe! Service was helpful and great, food was excellent, and the whole experience was fantastic. So cool that the cows live right here on campus and dairy products are made right here on campus! Highly recommend!“

“Happy to see this new location thriving! Coffee is good with variety of options available but not too many it becomes overwhelming - lots of options for tea drinkers as well!The food is amazing - highly recommend the Java Club as it was one of the best sandwiches i've had in a while - and in a market with ever increasing prices this place feels very fairly priced for what you get. Coupled with the fun atmosphere and art on the walls highly recommend checking this place out.Note that parking can be difficult - if busy times of the day parking across the street is much easier than hoping you can find a spot in the tiny parking lot“

“I was driving home from work and had a craving for ice cream. I saw this little shop and decided can’t hurt to try. Ummmm then wanted a manganada instead. It did not disappoint!!! Hands down the best manganada I had ever tasted. It was so simply made, but with tiny mangoes and that chamoy sauce in every bite!! Satisfying.To the girl who made my manganada . I felt so bad after I left and kept thinking what you were trying to say to me while making my order. I figured out while driving away that you were asking “anything else?” but I couldn’t understand your accent. I meant no disrespect towards you at all, and you were so polite to me even when I didn’t understand. Thank you.“
