Sweet Treats

Visitors to The Dairy State have never had it sweeter.  Come sample our finest dairy-inspired product - ice cream - at numerous locations throughout the city.  Ella's Deli & Ice Cream Parlor is a children's wonderland complete with a circus atmosphere, flying puppets and moving toy railroad over-head.  Outside, enjoy Madison's only full-sized Carousel open seasonally to the young and young-at-heart.  Home to the University of Wisconsin's own Babcock Ice Cream, make sure to visit the UW Memorial Union to taste one of their many delicious flavors.  Take your treats out back to the Student Union Terrace overlooking Lake Mendota and enjoy one of the most beautiful views around.  If chocolate is your taste, plan to visit Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier or Candinas Chocolatier.  Or, indulge in gourmet cupcakes at Daisy Café and Cupcakery where the flavor combinations are endless.  Both locales specialize in gourmet, handcrafted chocolate.  Visit Bluephie's, Market Street Diner and Hubbard Avenue Diner for an amazing array of desserts and specialty pies.  Stroll down State Street, and find your favorite flavor of ice cream at Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream. 

All of these exceptional venues are locally owned and committed to providing the best ingredients, atmosphere and service to our visitors.
