If you love milk tea, that's insta picture ready. They have a variety or choices of milk teas, teas, and ice cream. The best thing is they offer this split cup that you can choose two flavors. The tapioca pearl was soft, I chose taro milk tea and vietnamese coffee, loved how it's not sweet. We also ordered waffle pandaan sundae with fruit and taro icecream. The waffle is made with pandaan (Asian green leaf used in cooking like "vanilla"), so don't be surpise that the waffle is green. You can choose what flavor of ice cream to top off. The decor inside was nice, with a flower wall to take pictures as a backdrop. It's next to a Vietnamese restaurant so you can eat first then get some dessert next door. read more

I stumbled onto this place by accident. I was fairly exhausted, as a law student usually is, and needed some sustenance to keep me alive while I push myself through bad eating habits and lack of sleep. I was craving pho, but my go to pho spot (Pho Gia Dinh in Chandler) was a mission from the Phoenix area. I ended up yelping (is this a verb?) the pho spot conjoined with "Milk Run." While I was having my pho, I overheard the ladies across from me mention about how this place next door has good dessert/ice cream. I decided to check it out. The place itself is very small with a few tables. They have quite a large ice cream selection, but I wanted to try their drinks instead. Since I was dozing off (either from food coma or simply from exhaustion) and I still needed to stay awake, I decided to order their "Vietnamese Sea Salt Coffee." Lately, I have grown to be a fan of Vietnamese coffee after I had tried the coffee at Lee's Sandwiches. When I had a sip of the coffee, I knew I loved it right away. The coffee was robust and not overly-sweet, which made the drink simply delicious. I would visit this establishment again. read more

I just moved to Phoenix from Los Angeles, where boba was pretty much accessible within 15 minutes at all times. I was craving a sweet drink so I had to check this place out (it was the highest rated and most reviewed boba place around me). This shop was 30 minutes away from my house but it was worth it!! The place was decorated very aesthetically so it would be a nice place to hang out. They have a lot of seating so they can accommodate both small and big groups. I ordered 2 slushies: large watermelon with boba and large pinky lychee with lychee jelly. I used the 10 percent off offer from the yelp check in and racked up some Fivestars points on top of the discount. There wasn't a wait so I got my drinks pretty quickly (~5 minutes). I love how they make their slushies with real fruit and you can tell because they taste fresh. I got them to go and they still tasted great when I got home. Overall I was very pleased by the quick service and quality of drinks here. I'll definitely be back for more. read more

Oh my gosh this place is so awesome. Great aesthetic, excellent drinks, I got a matcha coffee with add-on boba, while my boyfriend got the matcha boba with green tea ice cream. I have found my new favorite coffee and it's beyond delicious. My boyfriend isn't a HUGE fan of matcha but loved the ice cream that came in his drink. Definitely coming back. read more

Tried this place on a weeknight right before closing time at 8:30 pm and wow was it busy! I got the AZ Sunset flavored tea with boba and a scoop of the Andes Mint ice cream. The ice cream tastes just like the Andes candy! But for $2.99 a scoop, it was a bit pricy, in my opinion. I got the tea to go in a glass bottle for an additional $1.50. It's so cute! But to be honest, it's a bit hard to mix the flavors in the skinny glass bottle. After a couple of minutes, I finally mixed all the flavors and tasted how good it was! The interior is small but there are seats for dates or just hanging out with friends. I do wish they had more ice cream flavors. Overall, I thought it was good and I'd come back to try other items. read more

If you've never explored the West Camelback Road corridor between 7th Avenue and the I-17, it might be time to take a drive and look around. For some reason this area seems to be an incubator for a variety of international restaurants, particularly of the Asian variety. Names Kwan & Wok, Da Vang, Han Korean BBQ, Ichi Bowl, Thai Rama, Cafe Sai Gon, PT Noodles, and (one of my favorites) Pho Thanh are all within a short distance of one another. But seemingly the most popular Asian spot on this stretch is Milk Run (at least judging by the crowds and glowing Yelp reviews). I like milk teas and bobas and I've had some good ones here in town. But I came here tonight for what I hear are some dynamite ice cream floats. On a Saturday evening, I stepped inside. Milk Run can be found right next door to Pho Thanh on the northwest corner of 17th Avenue and Camelback. Whereas Pho Thanh is a giant restaurant that can pack in upwards of 200, Milk Run is a fairly small small space that can seat a couple dozen tops. The look and feel is somewhat reminiscent of Snoh Ice Shavery's flagship location in central Phoenix. A lit up menu on the wall and all the fixings behind the counter. Microbiologist turned entrepreneur Tho Ly is the brains behind this operation, offering a surprising variety of treats and sweets. Here you've got your choice of Milk Teas, Iced Teas, Smoothies, Slushies, Sparklers, as well as Vietnamese coffees. But I'm here for the Milk Tea Floats with house made ice cream. You can go with one of the five tea & ice cream combos they recommend or you can mix and match however you want to. I asked the gals behind the counter which of their combos are Milk Run 101. Without hesitation, they pointed to their Taro Float. FYI, Taro is a purple yam and is apparently a popular flavor in east Asia and the Philippines in particular. I sampled a little of the Taro ice cream before ordering. Mildly sweet, mildly nutty, almost like pistachio (your opinions of course may vary). The float is taro milk tea with a scoop of taro milk ice cream. I got a regular sized float this first go around (with boba). Total cost (including usage of the Yelp 10% check in discount) came to $5. I really liked the smooth creaminess of the ice cream with the richness of the tea. I'm totally sold on the taro as an ice cream flavor that should be more widely available. My only critique was the somewhat ludicrous amount of ice cubes that were mixed in. I understand wanting to keep the tea and ice cream sufficiently cold, but this was a bit much. My recommendation? I'll trade you less ice cubes in exchange for more tea (or a second scoop of that delicious ice cream). All in all, a pretty good first impression. Next time I'll probably try one of their smoothies (the Jackfruit smoothie in particular caught my attention). A fun, inexpensive, family friendly dessert and coffee spot with flavors and combinations you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. If you're coming for lunch or dinner at Pho Thanh, do yourself a favor and save room for dessert next door. From now on, I know I will. read more

This was a great boba place in Phoenix to try, that was a recommendation from a friend! I tried the "AZ Sunset" iced tea, which is not only so pretty and aesthetic-looking, but it tastes so delicious and refreshing too! It seems like one of their popular drinks here, so I would recommend getting this drink here. The wait wasn't crazy long when I went. I went in the evening after dinner time and my drink came out pretty fast. Loved it! read more

Amazing drinks, amazing ice cream, and boba. Highly recommend trying the Vietnamese coffee float, the green tea float, and the taro float. This place makes the best boba and milk tea in the valley. Tip: the glass bottles are $1.50 and gets 10% any drink by bringing the glass in; but during covid they don't re-use the glass. Also signing up for rewards via phone number gets a free 4.50 drink after 100 points read more

The drinks were super fantabulous. I ordered the coconut smoothie as well as the Thai milk tea. Both beverages were off the chain! My thirst was quenched, and my craving for something sweet was equally satiated. This is by far one of the best boba tea places that I've ever been to, and the people were very positive and helpful in my drink selection. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful oasis of marvelous sweet-filled beverages. read more

I always get the same thing a Thai tea milkshake hold the whip. I get the large one because when I get home I still have so much. I simply put it in the freezer and I have more ice cream the next day! We've tried ALOT of boba places and this one here beats all of them. It's a drive for us but we know it's so worth it read more

Best thai milk tea I've had; I've tired many places including from Chicago (where I live) and I still think about this place sometimes!

Coming from Hawaii I like my milk tea! They had my favorite flavor which is taro. So excited to find a place here that offers boba tea. I get into my car and everything looks great.. go to take the first sip and man sugar rush. There has to be an option for sweetness... 25%, 50% etc.. I couldn't finish mine and was disappointed. Can't way I won't try them again but a different flavor. I'll see if they sweetness is tamed. Staff was super friendly and kind. read more

Great find while in town on vacation. The teens with us love Boba tea and Milk Run has a huge selection. They even have floats made with their homemade ice cream. Personally love their Thai Tea (sometimes w/honey boba, sometimes w/out). Sweet guy running the register, quick service, decent prices - we've gone everyday while here and plan to continue. read more

In central Phoenix, this is probably one of the better places. The milk tea is allright. I personally prefer more tea flavor. The boba has a decent consistency. Their Thai tea and Thai tea floats are absolute bomb tho. Fruit teas are pretty good too! They had a stand at Asian Night Market where they sold sugarcane juice which was hella good too! read more

Was not sure what to expect with this place being tucked away into a tiny plaza with limited parking. However, being located next to my favorite Pho spot I had high expectations. Furthermore, you will not be disappointed. The place itself is very modern and cute and far as décor goes. The menu is posted to the left of the entrance when you walk in. There are picnic style tables that offer plenty of seating options. There were so many tasty sounding treats on the menu I had a hard time narrowing it down. My sister suggested the Thai tea float with boba. For starters, I was over joyed in how delectable my drink was. This made me realize why the place can become very crowded and lines long. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out if you are a fan of boba tea or wanting a sweet treat. You shall not be disappointed. read more

Love that this place is attached to a restaurant. The boba is delicious. I love getting the floats. My favorite it's the Taro Float. That Taro ice cream is DEVINE. I've had some of their teas too and the sunset one is very refreshing. read more

Quick service, clean interior and tons of choices. Whether you would like milk teas, smoothies or float type drinks you'll find them all here. They also have ice cream. I had the original milk tea (Taiwanese style) with boba and custard and hubby had the taro with custard smoothie. I found mine to be a little sweeter than I prefer so will try the black milk tea on our next visit. I was really interested in the Thai tea or green tea float and can't wait to go back. Their service is extra quick and you can check in with yelp for 10% off! read more

Milk Run is so cute, I love the aesthetic and wish I had visited pre-Covid to see it full swing. The staff is wearing masks, they're friendly and patient. The place was popping thirty minutes to close, but we barely waited for our order at all! Awesome menu with cute descriptions, no unpleasant surprises here! Nutella Milk Tea with Honey Vanilla ice cream is SO good. The Pinky Lychee was also unbelievably good. I wish I had thought to take a picture before I started drinking mine, it was empty long before I even thought to do it. I loved that it was attached to the Pho place next door, which seemed to be packed! Check it out for a super quick, beautiful treat! read more

I went down to Arizona to visit my siblings and my brother recommended me to go here. There was a huge selection and my drink was very good!

I would definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

This is my second time going to Milk Run. It was busy both times but the wait wasn't bad at all. Pre-pandemic there were board games and seating. Now there is no seating, which was totally fine with me. Today I ordered the Matcha tea and Honeydew Tea split with honey boba. The honeydew is super duper sweet and the matcha is a mild tea and they perfectly balance each other. Very pleased with the service and products here. Will come again! read more

We were so excited to try this place! It was okay! I'd go back to try something else... maybe the floats? My bf got the strawberry black tea with lychee jelly and he didn't like his drink. It tasted watered down. I got the AZ sunset tea and my first sip was AHhhmazing! But the rest tasted watered down also, once I mixed it. And no, we didn't let our ice melt... we drank it pretty quickly due to it being super hot outside! I was so sad. I concluded that whatever tea is the bottom layer, is what I really enjoyed. read more

Adorable IG picture worthy shop. White and earthy decor with an adorable pink flower wall. I appreciate that they make their ice cream in house but I didn't try any this time around. I absolutely love the huge variety of drink flavors that this shop has! We got the passion fruit tea with passion fruit seeds and lychee jelly. The seeds added a nice crunch and tartness. The jelly added a yummy chewy texture. We also got the AZ sunset(with honey boba) which taste reminds me of the Starbucks hibiscus refresher that I love! Beautiful presentation, quality tea/ingredients, fresh boba, friendly customer service and happy vibes all around! Games and community seating for small or large parties. Side note: This shop is connected(open wall) to a pho restaurant so you could grab a drink after a meal:) We'll be back! read more

First time at Milk Run, won't be running back soon. It is located in a small shopping center with minimal parking. We cheated at parked where we shouldn't just so I could run in and grab our drinks. The decor is cute and simple. Like most boba locations it has a cute wall worthy of an Instagram background. We got a Taro Smoothie and a Taro Milk Tea. Both were pretty bland. Almost like not enough flavoring had been added. The liquid to boba ratio was good. I like that they do the cute glass bottles which are recyclable. I just haven't reached the level of success where I can spend more to be green, maybe some day! The staff was friendly and the menu was in a good location and easy to break down. I didn't look at all the options but the shop smells like warm waffle cones which is lovely. But we have definitely found better Boba Drinks in the area. read more

Love Milk Run, it's my favorite boba spot. Not only is the interior super bright and cute but they have thee BEST ice cream. Ive tried the Vanilla, Matcha and my go to Taro (purple) flavor. My boyfriend and I actually tend to crave it quite a bit so we enjoy taking our son and spending time playing some of there games like Jenga, Connect four, or Soc em' Bop em' while enjoying a drink or ice cream. Boba drinks are also tasty you can them og (milk tea)style, blended or a float. The parking is a bit sparse but we deal with it. read more

Stopped by to grab a quick drink and decided to chill inside for a bit. Seems pretty popular since there was a decent line of folks waiting for drinks. It's nice that they have games inside a (somewhat ratchet) shopping cart.. makes me wonder where they got the cart from. There are definitely insta-worthy drinks like the floats, but I did the math and decided $7+ for a drink ($1.50 for the glass jar) wasn't worth it for my first time. So we stuck with the plain black milk tea - it's hard to go wrong there. Tasted fine, although without the 20% off (thanks, Yelp), it would have definitely been overpriced. Seems to be the only boba place around, wouldn't hurt to give it a shot! read more
