I love, love, love this place. My bank account does not though. This place gives me inspiration for cooking, baking, and cocktails. It's a great place to bring guests who are new to Madison, and a great gift spot too. Who doesn't love booze in a nice bottle? Or an assortment of oil and vinegar to cook with? The staff is always helpful, and gives tons of suggestions. The owner (Justin) is a great guy and I always enjoy talking to him.
They recently remodeled and the store is beautiful. They still have the recipe cards, but you have to ask for them.
They also added a dining experience called Delectable, and it is unique and just a blast. I'm waiting for them to add a Yelp page for that so I can give them another 5 stars.
Keep an eye our for their cooking classes and guest chefs. The experience will not disappoint!
