Out of town visitor and saw this place had Ube ice cream. I am an Ube fan. Walked in and noticed it was clean and the service was friendly. I was able to try samples of any ice cream. I ended up with a double of Ube and Pandan. I am spoiled coming from San Diego where the #1 rated ice cream shop two years in a row is located. Milk + Sugar is solid but the flavors are farely simple with not alot of imagination. But with that said, the Ube was 5 stars because of the creaminess and strong Ube flavor. On the other hand, the Pandan was a miss with the flavor. It lacked enough Pandan. But it was creamy. I will return while I am here in Houston and try other flavors. I do recommend the Ube ice cream here. It is solid and the creaminess is there!! Give it a try. read more

milk + sugar - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

Got a taste for ice cream? Three words...Milk and Sugar! This adorable spot located in a West University Shopping Center is the cutest, with limited indoor and out door seating. Eclectic ice cream flavors too, not your "boring" vanilla (though vanilla is far from that to me), but vanilla...elevated, but other concoctions sure to make your tastebuds dance and shout. I selected the "Cereal and Milk" that had little cereal flakes inside, so yummy! And I just had to try their "Rain or Shine" that was light and refreshing for the Summer. One scoop cost a little over $5.00, but they give a heaping amount that is well worth the spend. Service was fast and friendly. Great place to come for a date night, family night, friends night or just solo solo. Worth checking out! Enjoy! read more

milk + sugar - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

My friend was telling me that milk + sugar opened on Buffalo Speedway and was raving about how good the ice cream was so I had to go try it! I've been to the one in Montrose but didn't love it so I was a bit skeptical going to this new location. Boy was I so wrong! There's a bunch of flavors - traditional-ish and some that are more Asian inspired.. some of the flavors we tried were Almond Pound Cake, Cereal Milk, Pandan, Ube, Cheesecake, etc. Now let me stop and say the Cereal Milk is to die for!!! If you're like me and loved drinking the sweet milk after I was done with my Frosted Cornflakes as a child, you will love this one too! I dream of this place just to go back and get this flavor. My son had the Almond Pound Cake and destroyed a large scoop - they don't do kids scoops, which can be a bit much for kiddos. They do two split scoops though for the same price so the 2nd time we went, we did that and gave him one split scoop instead. They won't split it for you though so grab it in a cup, with a cone on the side, and split it at the table! Love they have a grassy area out front for the kiddos to play! Right next to the donut shop so if you want a sugar high, go to both! Service was fantastic, ambiance was clean and casual - no frills here! Just an ice cream shop with seating and plenty of fantastic flavors. My son did initially ask for vanilla and they don't have just plain flavors as a PSA. Looking forward to our next time back! They also have pints you can buy and water/bowls/cups on the side to self grab, as well as some merch! A cool space city mural decorates the interior wall. read more

milk + sugar - Mmmmm... cereal milk - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

Probably my favorite ice cream in Houston currently. My cousin and I go once a month after dinner. Service is friendly, space has indoor and outdoor seating, parking lot is big but not at the same time so I just park further away and walk. The ice cream is creamy, thick (I hate soft/airy ice cream), doesn't melt fast, and of course I always support an Asian owned business. My go to flavors are pandan (yum cha) and Thai tea. They're so good. I love trying their seasonal items but stick to my go to's. read more

Ice cream was delicious! We had the happy wife and the hello summer. Both delicious. The shop itself had plenty of seating and was clean. The service, that's where the rating comes in. The worker that was there seemed annoyed that we were bothering her. She was the only worker there and there were zero other customers. When we walked in she was sitting on her phone and looked annoyed that she had to be distracted from her phone. We ordered and she said but 2 words to us, "anything else" after we ordered our first cup. We will probably avoid this location and go elsewhere. read more

Milk + Sugar is always a good idea for dessert. I usually get thai tea and rain or shine. It has been a while since I last stopped by so I decided to switch it up. I got a scoop of heart of glass, it has a cream cheese base and it is so fricking good. It was my first time trying Yum Cha... this one in itself carries that 5-star rating. Hands down one of the best ice cream flavors I ever had. I can't stop thinking about it! read more

Milk + Sugar is a must-try if you're looking for something different. They don't just stick to the usual flavors like chocolate or vanilla, which makes the experience really fun and unique. Every flavor we tried was creative and tasted great. The ice cream itself is high quality, rich, and smooth. The location is convenient with easy parking, which is always a plus. The shop is also very clean and well kept. read more

If milk + sugar ever have no fans, that means I am no longer on this earth. By far my favorite ice cream spot, I've been going here every other week for about a year now and I haven't been disappointed a single time. If it's on the menu (because it's a seasonal flavor) I 10000000% recommend getting a la moe, it might be the best ice cream flavor to ever grace this beautiful earth. For non seasonal flavors, I heavily recommend happy wife, Thai tea, PB cookies and cream, and city that never sleeps, but I still recommend trying any seasonal flavor that catches your eye because 9 times out of 10 it's going to be amazing. Workers at this location especially are all super nice, and it always feels like they put in the extra effort to make you feel welcomed. The inside is nice, but I definitely recommend eating outside if the weather permits it! Can't recommend this place enough, please try a la moe before it rotates out if you can!! read more

I went to this business for the first time ever tonight ordering a Small Size Ube Ice Cream. It was very delicious, exotic, rich, good quality and thick without being too icy or too cold. I always wanted to try an ube dessert and almost drove out to Chinatown to finally find it tbh. This was my very first time having that in any form and really enjoyed its unique flavor profile. It had a buttery, creamy, sweet potato / yam, coconut, buttermilk and tiny pinch of cinnamon taste all very well-mixed in one bite. It was sweet just enough, floral in a subtle manner and different, but not out of this world different either. Some other ice cream types that caught my attention for future visits were their Thai Tea, Pumpkin and Double Chocolate. Service was good and fast. read more

We've been a fan of milk + sugar since their OG location. Their Heights spot and this Greenway spot are the two branch locations with the same flavors and style of interior. We obviously prefer the original location for style points but this location has plenty of parking and is in a new, upscale plaza. I got their seasonal ube and pandan double scoop. Great texture and the flavors were delicious. They need to put these on the regular menu honestly. Service is spot on as with all of their stores. read more

I think I just found my new favorite ice cream place! Milk + sugar is a small ice cream chain, offering unique flavors from thai tea to pb cookies and cream. All of them are absolutely tasty, and they come in pints too. When you walk in, the place smells of waffles cones and it's nice and cool inside. They have lots of bench areas so it's perfect to work or just sit and chat with friends. The workers are there are also super friendly and they let you sample as much as you want. The ice cream... oh man. It is so creamy and the flavors are spectacular. My absolute favorite is the yum cha and rain or shine. It remind me of my childhood. The yum cha flavor is so strong of pandan flavor and also has a good balance of chrysanthemum, so it is the perfect combination. In the picture I got the almond strawberry cheesecake which had a very strong almond flavor (almost like cherry) and chunks of cheesecake, but it was still delicious. I liked the flavor, but I liked another one more which was the rain or shine. It's an earl grey and lemon ice cream and the combination is amazing. Overall, milk + sugar is my new favorite ice cream place. This is a place you definitely don't want to miss out on and I will for sure be buying those pints! read more

milk + sugar - strawberry almond cheesecake and yumcha - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

The rise of milk + sugar over the last several years has been nothing short of impressive. Despite the saturation of ice creameries setting up shop all throughout the city, they've managed to stay in the good graces of the ice cream goers in the city, by offering a unique set of flavors ranging from atypical to seasonal. Their popularity exploded with their initial location in Montrose, which has resulted in additional locations in the Heights and finally here in West U earlier this year. While every location has been excellent, this one happens to be my favorite. The reasons are practically infinite: * As the newest location, it feels like a new car every time I come in. The place is clean, significantly less busy than the other locations, and has an atrium out front to enjoy a bit of outdoor ice cream consumption. It makes for a great date spot, a kid-friendly locale, and an ideal after spot for any of the restaurants next door. * Parking is indeed the best and most abundant at this location. The other locations have limited parking but there is certainly no shortage of spaces here. It is a shared parking lot but one that has plenty of availability. * Customer service is excellent in every location and there is no exception here. The people working here have been friendly, cordial, and extremely efficient, making sure that every scoop counts. * And of course the ice cream is outstanding. Butter pecan streusel has been my latest obsession, but the cereal milk is slowly becoming an easy go-to for every visit. I was enamored earlier this year with their yum cha flavor, which was a nod to their Asian-owned Roots, in the form of a delicious pandan and chrysanthemum concoction in frozen treat form. Lately their seasonal holiday flavor, Christmas morning which contains sweet ice cream with the helping of gingerbread cake and oat crumble. While it's gaining traction, it seems the feel the local crowd favorite is still Thai tea. And similarly to the other locations, they offer intangibles such as a little wash area for the sticky aftermath, plasticware with to-go lids, and a whole fridge of pints for folks like me who simply can't get enough. There are dessert places and ice cream spots all throughout the neighborhood, but I think very few of them have the same elements that milk + sugar brings to the table. Through their non-classic approach to quality flavors, it does trigger nostalgia for love of the Northeast but also comfort in knowing that I can score the same in what I consider home. read more

Ever since going to Agnes and Sherman and finding out that they get their ice cream from Milk and Sugar, I've been planning to make a stop over for a scoop of ice cream! I was in love with the pandan ice cream and thai tea flavors because there's really never a place that makes pandan flavored anything! I'm a huge pandan fan so of course when I came, I had to get that! I found out that their standalone pandan ice cream was only seasonal so I opted for a scoop of that and also a container of their yum cha which is pandan ice cream with chrysanthemum ice cream swirled inside! It's very delicious with the floral notes at the end of the vanilla- pandan flavor! I can't wait to finish the pint I got and to go back for their thai tea flavor! Service is average, the people I've met there (twice now) don't really greet you when you arrive, they just stare and wait for you to order and don't really smile much. I don't know if it's because they're tired and at the end of the day (I came around 4-5pm) that they're bored? maybe it's just not busy for several hours but it'd be great if they could smile and greet when people come in the door. read more

We were craving something sweet and stopped by to get some dessert. I was very impressed by how helpful the employee at the counter was. We're were the only people there, but he was very attentive and friendly, giving recommendations when asked. The interior was clean and brightly lit, very appropriate for an ice cream parlor. I picked the coffee flavored ice cream city that never sleeps and WOOH! What a blast of caffeine, which is exactly what I wanted. The texture and flavor were great and refreshing. The portions were also very generous! read more

Took my uncle to milk + sugar for dessert after dinner. We went to their location in West U, which had plenty of parking. The shop was empty on a Saturday night, such a difference compared to their original locations. The workers let us sample any flavor we wanted before we ordered. My uncle got the happy wife flavor which is sweet cream ice cream with almond pound cake. I got the yum cha and the butter pecan streusel. The butter pecan was made of brown butter and brown sugar ice cream with pecan streusel and the yum cha is made of pandan and chrysanthemum ice cream. I liked both of them. There was a pandan and chrysanthemum flavors were strong and the butter pecan was sweet and rich. They make all of their ice cream in house and all of their flavors are so unique. Their scoops are huge too read more

***HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: 20% OFF IF YOU COME IN COSTUME*** This is my second time coming to this location, and I'll say I prefer it to the Montrose counterpart. Ordered the hocus pocus, which tastes like the sunflower seeds flavor, with big chunks of brown sugar. The other flavor was the city that never sleeps-- which has a great coffee + chocolate combo. They also informed me you are not limited to tasting samples like at the Montrose location. More parking and space too, relaxing family atmosphere. read more

What a pleasant surprise to find an ice cream parlor located at the same shopping center with Kroger and Capital One Bank. I frequent the Plaza in the Park mall for groceries and banking. It doesn't take long to find Milk+Sugar. I came here after an hour of workout at 24 Hour Fitness at West University. I figured that I burned 300 calories and I should deserve to replenish with a delicious ice cream. Employees were friendly and helpful. They explained how to identify seasonal and regular flavors on the labels. Yellow ones are the usuals. I sampled Ube with coconut water and Love is Love. I didn't quite like the coconut flavor overpowering ube. The rainbow sprinkles are overly sweet for the simple ice cream. Then, I glanced over to the usual ones. I was thinking the phrase "good wife good life". I didn't ask for sample. I assumed it should be good. Sure, it was. I loved the simple ingredients and lightly sweet. I had one scoop in a cone. The waffle cone was so fresh and delicious. I felt like getting another one. But I think I'd better come back when I get to burn calories next time. read more

I would recommend getting a double scoop so you can enjoy at least two of their delicious flavors. Cheers!! read more

I can't tell you how much I love milk + sugar! When I heard they were opening a West U location, I gasped at how close they were to me. Just within walking distance! Forget buying dessert at Kroger next door, I'm going to milk + sugar! It's also the PERFECT dessert stop after a dinner in the area. PLENTY of parking! The space inside is spacious! There's even enough space to sit outside. (Just no tables yet) Their waffle cones are truly the best! You will never see me getting a cup. Their waffle cones have such a distinct brown sugar taste that you can't pass up. I've tried every single flavor and I keep coming back to the almond strawberry cheesecake and the butter pecan streusel. Look, I love this place so much that I would have them catered at my wedding. You best believe the two best flavors will be there. read more

Really really enjoyed the ice cream here! Unique flavors with super friendly service. Not that I abuse samples, but they actually welcome samples, and what I mean by that is they won't give you the stink eye if you ask to sample a 3rd or 4th flavor. Rain or Shine was my favorite flavor, with either Happy Wife or Yum Cha a close second. Will definitely have to come back to try some more flavors, especially as some of them are seasonal. Parking is behind the store in a shared lot. A good handful of spots, and odds are you'll be able to park in there. An abundance of indoor seating, especially for an ice cream shop. Love that they have water available - it's the little details that count. read more

My friends and I all agree that this is THE spot for ice cream in Houston, TX. I've been to 3 of their locations but this one is my personal favorite as the parking accessibility is a lot better and it's not as packed as the original location. If you love coffee and chocolate then you'll love the city that never sleeps flavor! All their flavors are unique and delicious. Plus, their cone is made with brown sugar! Employees are always kind at all locations and everyone's having a good time. If you haven't gone, this is your sign to visit them! read more

Like the location in Montrose, this new location is great too. I really liked the fudge sundae and cereal milk flavors (the cereal milk flavor is delightful and is like the flavor at Milk Bar in New York, just ice cream instead of soft serve). The place is clean and nice, and there's actually enough seating indoors for a group to sit down. And there's an area outside as well where you can enjoy your ice cream. Don't get me wrong, the ice cream was delightful--and it should be delightful for how much we paid. For three small cups of ice cream our group paid about $24 (including tax and tip). I get it, that's what most high-end ice cream places are charging these days, but still! read more

The only part I didn't love is when I walked up the person behind the counter immediately said: "you only get to try only 5 flavors" which felt a little hostile since I hadn't even asked yet. Maybe she didn't mean it that way but I was a little put off. read more

Very unique flavors for those who are willing to delve beyond the "regular" flavors. Not only do they have ... for example, matcha tea ice cream ... they mix it with white chocolate chips. Delicious actually! They definitely know how to come up with special flavor mixes that work well together. Very nice staff! Great location and plentiful parking, unlike the Montrose location. Interior is sparsely decorated and not a whole lot of bright colors, but it's spacious and clean. My personal opinion is that for young children it wouldn't be my first choice in the area for an ice cream treat, not even my second choice actually. But definitely a cool hang out spot for adolescents, young adults and ... well, us "mature" people lol! read more
