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~

Thai tea

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.

Yum cha - pandan and chrysanthemum (left), Thai tea (right)

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.

Lactase pills

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.

Mynika C.

It was my first time at milk + sugar and I was thoroughly impressed. Before ordering, I tried several flavors. Ultimately, decided on the Happy Wife & Sundae Funday (left) + Peach Cobbler & Butter Pecan Streusel (right), you'll see the pics if you take a look! I love that they give you an option to pair two flavors. The customer service was great, and we were greeted upon entering. The vibe was chill and they have tons of merch along with ice cream to-go. I'll definitely be back!

There are some unique flavors but the service is just flat. The waffle cone was fresh and tasted great. Plenty of space to sit and chat.

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.

Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. 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.
