Paradise Island - Monona

Absolutely delicious! I was searching for something refreshing on a hot day, and this place caught my attention after I saw some photos of their shakes online. It certainly lived up to my expectations. The ice cream was delightful, and I loved the presentation of my shake. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, pleasant outdoor seating, and the prices are great!

Paradise Ice Cream is our favorite spot for ice cream in Madison. We're always welcomed with friendly smiles and leave with delicious, fresh ice cream! It's important for us to support BIPOC-owned businesses over the many white-owned ones. This ice cream shop is a true gem and stands out from any other ice cream place in Madison. We especially love their pistachio and piñón (pine nut) flavors!

This ice cream shop is absolutely fantastic, featuring the friendliest staff. They are more than happy to offer samples if you'd like to try any of the flavors. We absolutely love the pistachio and pine nut varieties, which are packed with actual nuts! Next time, we plan to try the mango chavoy!

Homemade ice cream and more! This place is an absolute gem. I mixed a sorbet of mango and another fruit I forgot the name of, so good they had small pieces of the real fruit in them too. My two friends and I came and are so glad we did, will be back! :

Mango con chavoy is a delight! It is mango ice cream, chunks of fresh mango, a candy straw made of strawberries and Chile, and a red sauce with salty and Chile flavors. So refreshing and, as far as I can tell, totally dairy-free! This is the first time I have ever had frozen fruit with salty chiles and it is remarkably good.
