| - This was my first taste of Madison during my recent road trip and I loved it! I insisted to my husband that we must come here to try out the infamous Cookie Dough Egg Rolls, but I didn't know their lunch fare would be so delicious, too! We love love loved the butternut squash soup, which had such a rich depth of spices. My crab sandwich with aoili sauce was to die for. Hubby's chicken mac and cheese was decent. We liked the Cookie Dough Egg Rolls, which came with a side of creamy vanilla custard; however, I have to say I do not agree that they should be award winning. I thought the melty texture of the cookie dough inside was a bit offputting and the wonton wrappers lacked flavor. But hey, I won't argue with any desssert that involves cookies, chocolate, and custard. The cakes in the bakery case, such as the Carrot Cake, Chocolate or Raspberry Explosion (Eruption?) Cakes, and the Red Velvet Cake looked extremely sinful and I so wish I would have indulged in a slice of cake instead. If I am in Madison ever again, I will definitely be back for cake at Bluephies.
A couple other notes - service was pretty poor and the decor is an upscale diner atmosphere, very much like Saved by the Bell as someone else mentioned. I would say it's a good family breakfast or lunch place, but not a date place.
