    I've been here 3x and I love this location! Ample parking and the staff give decent scoops!! Ice cream tastes the same as the Westheimer location. My go to is Thai tea and city that never sleeps split scoop!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Fantastic Ube Ice Cream !!!
    Michael C.

    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.

    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.

    strawberry almond cheesecake and yumcha
    Laura L.

    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!

    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.

    A la moe and banana pudding ice cream
    Chris F.

    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!!

    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!

    Yum cha
    Brandon D.

    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

    ***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.

    Salud to my cone
    Lou C.

    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.

That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and welcoming. They are also open late, which I loved. I had already dined in the area, so this ended up being the perfect post dinner treat. I have been here before, but it had been a long time, and it was great to return and enjoy it again. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the overall environment made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. I ordered a kid's cup, and it was honestly the perfect amount. Anything larger would have been too much for me, so the price point felt very fair for the portion and quality. I also tried the macaron and the tea. Both were fine but nothing standout for me. I have had better macarons and better tea elsewhere, and as someone who really appreciates good tea, it was decent but not something I would go back for specifically. That said, the gelato alone is absolutely worth returning for and even making a drive for. The space itself is very small and cozy, more of a boutique style spot. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or very small groups. Larger groups may prefer to enjoy their treats outdoors around the plaza and then move along, as this is more of a grab and go or short stay kind of place. Overall, I would definitely be back. The gelato is truly the star here and well worth it.

You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

Both were very good. As for food, we ordered a Chicken Breakfast Sandwich(pictured), Cinnamon Roll Crepe (Pictured), Dulce De Leche Crepe with Almonds and Strawberries (pictured), and a strawberry cheesecake crepe (not pictured but looked like a normal crepe with powdered sugar). My favorites were the strawberry cheesecake and the cinnamon roll. My girlfriend's favorite was the Dulce De Leche and the strawberry cheesecake.

We have determined-the breakfast sandwich will not be ordered anymore. But again the drinks were good. Overall, we will be back. The staff is nice, the drinks are good and so are the Crepes.
