Ice Cream & Sweets
Madison's visitors have never had it sweeter. Pair your sweets with a great cup of coffee at Aldo's Cafe, featuring locally-roasted beans and made-from-scratch bakery items.
Daisy Cafe and Cupcakery on Atwood Ave is your sweet spot for cupcakes—they've made more than 600 flavor combinations thus far! Also on the east side is the Market Street Diner, a classic diner with bright decor and delicious desserts like pies and cookies. Try a slice of Carl's cakes (or take one home)! Another great eatery with pies and cakes is Hubbard Avenue Diner and Bakery—with specials like "Pie in July" and "National Pecan Pie Day," everyday is an excuse to eat dessert at Hubbard!
Looking for something a little more ... romantic? Indulge in gourmet, handmade dark chocolates from Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier which offers selections that are made fresh locally.
