    split scoop with cone on top
    Suelynn N.

    Everyone should come here at least once. Their flavors are so unique and refreshing. They are mostly east Asian inspired. I had a hard time choosing between them. I ended up getting a panda/ chrysanthemum and happy wife with a cone on top. The staff were amazingly just as sweet as the ice cream. The place was cute and decorated. Great for an after meal dessert or a short date/hang out. You can smell the hint of brown sugar from the waffle cones in the room. There is free parking behind the store.

    So delicious, the service was nice and it was a line but it went by fast , they let me try some samples , and the homemade brown butter cones was amazing I had the split ice cream cone and it was delicious and reasonable

    Yum cha + ube
    Ellen K.

    I loved how creative and unique their flavor profiles are. I went with the yum cha and the ube (vegan option) and was very pleased. My only minor note was that the ube was a touch icier in texture than I'd have liked, but honestly still very good and worth every bite. Looking forward to trying more~

    Milk and sugar is my favorite ice cream shop in Houston and I went to their Montrose location on two different occasions the first time I went I got the limited time xoxo flavor, which has a white chocolate base with red velvet gooey butter cake. This was so so gasssss. Very creamy like the happy wife flavor but with red velvet cake bits inside instead. Both times I also got their happy wife flavor, which is one of their signature ones. It is a sweet cream ice cream with almond pound cake. Really similar to the xoxo flavor but with a different cake. I also got the Thai tea and their Thai tea flavor is stronggggg. You can distinctly taste the depth of flavor. This place has never let me down. They have such unique flavors and make them all in house.

    I ordered scoops of the yum cha (chrysanthemum and pandan) and Thai tea ice cream and really enjoyed both! I'm so glad the yum cha is a permanent flavor now. The pandan part of the yum cha was better than the chrysanthemum, but both were good. It was smoother and melted a lot faster than the Thai tea. The Thai tea was rich, thick, and slightly grainy but not in a bothersome way. It had a nice amount of Thai tea flavor. Both ice creams were pretty sweet (as expected). The service was fast and friendly. They have some long tables to sit and enjoy your ice cream at. There's also Lactaid pills you can buy for 50 cents. It was a little dark at night. There is a small parking lot behind the building and street parking.

    Yumcha, a la "moe"
    Alex W.

    I came here twice in two days and it was a banger both times. Obviously you have to go for the YumCha. I liked the Alamo (a la "moe") a lot because of the texture difference, compared to Thai tea which just tasted like more milk and sugar.

    Came to Milk & Sugar for a sweet treat, and it reminded me why this place is one of my go-to spots in the city for ice cream. They consistently deliver some of the most unique and thoughtfully crafted flavors--definitely not your typical "vanilla and chocolate" lineup. You can tell they put real effort into creating combinations that are different but still delicious, and they really do it right. The servers here are always so helpful and genuinely sweet, which makes the experience even better. There's also a good amount of seating inside, so it's an easy spot to hang out with friends or just enjoy your ice cream without feeling rushed. If you're in the mood for something a little different and seriously tasty, Milk & Sugar never disappoints

    LOVE THIS PLACE! I cannot begin to say how much Ice cream I've been eating since finding out about this place. From the friendly service, bright and clean interior to the absolutely incredible creative flavors, you cannot go wrong. While I enjoy the more traditional flavors (who doesn't love chocolate?) it's the more unique flavors that truly have me sold. The Yumcha, Hojicha and Thai Tea truly are a perfect match, with authentic and addictive flavors that complement each other perfectly. The rotating seasonal options are also amazing, including the truly revelational corn one. The portion sizes are also very generous, and the split scoop options allow for trying more than one flavor even when you only want one scoop. Another standout factor are the employees. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful, which just makes the entire experience pleasant!

    Probably my new favorite ice cream shop. I'm not necessary a sweet person, but I've probably gone here 3 times in the last month. I guess I like coffee and chocolate flavor so my go to is always "city that never sleeps". It has coffee and pretzels with crispy chocolate flakes that gives it a sensational bite after a hot Houston summer day. Their Thai tea and happy wife which has almond pound cake with sweet cream.

    I was lucky enough to attend a Yelp Elite event at milk + sugar in West U and immediately bookmarked all their locations so I can visit when that craving hit. We had dinner nearby and my dining companion and I needed a little something sweet for dessert. I remembered the OG milk + sugar was down the street so we decided to check it out. It is located on Westheimer in an older building and can be easily missed. It shares a lot with a couple of other businesses so parking can be tight at peak times. There's an entrance into the business from the lot or an entrance in the front. Customer service was great . We were able to try any flavors that peaked our interest before making a final decision. They were out of a few flavors which was a bummer but totally understandable. When it comes to choosing flavors, it all just depends on my mood or the weather. In the summer months, I lean more towards fruity, refreshing flavors. The rest of the year I seek out the rest of the flavors. I tried a few flavors that were all delicious, but I settled on the PB Cookies and Cream and Sundae Funday. My go to ice cream fave is cookies and cream. One of my other favorite flavor profiles is peanut butter. They combined the two and made one of the most delicious ice cream flavors I've had. It wasn't just an essence of the flavors, but it contained nice chunks of Oreos and bites of peanut butter. The second scoop of Sundae Funday was just as tasty. It was a sweet cream ice cream with a generous amount of brownie bits and fudge. Absolute deliciousness all around! Milk + sugar has moved up to the top of my list of best ice cream spots in the city. I will be back!

    split scoop: yum cha (some pandan) + thai tea, reverse cone. So good !!
    Nina T.

    Houston local brand, and my favorite ice cream shop in town. I've followed this ice cream shop since they've opened their first location in Montrose! This one is located in the plaza with Kroger on Buffalo Speedway, across from HEB, next to Adair Kitchen and Craft Pita. It's the consistency, it's the delicious flavors and very unique, it's their cone. It's also about the super big parking space, as they're sharing with Kroger and everyone else, space to sit inside and outside, cute mini semicycle to hang out. Top flavors remain: thai tea, rain or shine. Discovery of the week: yum cha, with a kick of pandan flavor. I really appreciate that this is asian owned and they're sharing some specific flavors here. It's not empowering, it's really well blended. Just try ! They also have seasonal flavors so can only catch them temporarily. They also have pints so once you've discovered your favorites, you can store them at home ! Their cones are made in house, so you may catch a sweet smell throughout the store! It's so good ! I also really like their idea of a split scoop. It's the price of 1 scoop but you get to have two flavors at the size of a half scoop each! But of course, there's always the 2 scoops options, no judging here ! Sometimes, it gets really packed. Patience and won't be disappointed. Really really appreciate the simplicity of the menu. 10/10!

    single scoop yum cha
    Ricardo P.

    What a great last minute find for dessert! We came to Milk and Sugar on a recent trip to Houston. We were in the mood for ice cream and saw the great reviews this place had. The ambiance was quiet, and the service was quick. I tried the yum cha (pandan flavored) and my wife had the Red, white, and blue. Both were amazing. Would definitely come back here again.

    I was first introduced to milk + sugar via the Elite Week over the summer at their new West U location off 59 and Buffalo Speedway. We came here for dessert at the request of our out-of-town visitor, so I was excited to return to milk + sugar at their OG location! Staff behind the counter is very friendly and knowledgeable about all of the flavors. They allow you to sample the flavors but have a limit of 4, which I also found at the West U location to be a bit strange. Probably implemented this rule due to folks taking advantage of free samples. I got the Yum Cha and Thai Tea flavors. I love that they have some Asian-inspired flavors here, which makes milk + sugar stick out to me among other ice cream joints! The Yum Cha has pandan and chrysanthemum in it, which tastes almost like a milk tea. The Thai Tea course tastes just like a hearty glass of Thai Tea from your local Thai restaurant. I appreciate that they have lactase available for purchase ($0.50) - they know who they are catering to! ;) At around 8:30pm on a Sunday, there was a steady stream of customers coming through and sticking around to enjoy their ice cream. Dining in with the lively atmosphere here is the smart thing to do so that your ice cream doesn't melt on the car ride home!

Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more.

Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely need to be back!

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Perhaps it was how bready it was or that I found the toppings slightly underwhelming but... yeah. Still yummy though but not my fav. My husbands though - his was amazing! But also incredibly rich.
