Very nice and spacious coffee shop with some ice cream options as well! They had Cream and Flavored filled Cruffin's as well! I had the cookie and creams one and it didn't disappoint. My latte was super good and the beans def were freshly roasted ! My besttfriends lemonade also was to her liking ! They use premium syrups which also helps made my latte taste even better! The girls working were super sweet! I also loved that they have local art for sale on the walls.
Holy moly the Twix cookie was so good. I can't wait to go back and try other stuff the display was amazing and I could've gotten all of it! My friend had the chocolate cookie sandwich it was amazing also. Um don't forget the ice cream I had one scoop that was so generous coffee almond chip yum!! What seemed like the owner came out and was super friendly and willing to answer all the questions and anything. Super cute lil trendy place you should certainly go try it!!
I noticed that it's more of a coffee shop than a dessert shop since they appear to focus more on coffee. The seasonal pumpkin spice drink was pretty good, but I would go back to try their desserts. On the bright side, it was cozy inside which created the perfect autumn feeling despite the warm outdoor temperatures.
Very good coffee and pastries! I didn't try any of the ice cream but it looked delicious! It's decorated very cute inside and the staff are very friendly. This is a nice place to grab a coffee and get some work done or have a morning brunch with some friends!
I came here for an afternoon coffee on a Saturday and was glad I did! The space is pretty large with plenty of seating. They serve coffee, drinks, ice cream & baked goods. I got a hot latte as well as a chocolate cream pie and a peanut butter oreo brownie. The latte was absolutely perfect. The desserts were very good. I didn't eat them all in one sitting. They were still good when I had them later that night. I would definitely recommend Milkfloat!
TLDR: 5/5- Boss. Food: While the ice cream isn't homemade, (it's from Tillamook Creamery) the flavors and the smooth perfection of a honestly great ice cream make it clear why this local gem chose the creamery's offerings. For me, it does feel a bit like home, since that is the ice cream of my childhood, having grown up in the Pacific Northwest. This return to home seems like it is a theme that Milkfloat leans into. From their subtle nods to local talent and tradition from the art displayed in the walls to the ingredients featured in their offerings, it is clear that they take themselves and their hometown as seriously as I do mine. Service: The folks behind the counter were both lovely to chat with and knowledgeable. The easy conversation made the whole experience better, almost the way that one might imagine a bartender with a willing ear to be from tales of old, but this place was for real. Ambiance: I literally cannot tell you how pleasant the vibes were. I walked in and several folks were playing a game a table near the entrance. Their casual demeanor made it feel like I was walking into a friend's living room (in the best way). I wish that every local coffee shop house or sweet shop could spread this kind of casual and homey feeling to its patrons but this place does it better than most I have visited in the Wichita area. So head on down, get a scoop of my childhood and bask in the friendliness of a neighborhood staple.
Looking for a post sweet treat had us yelping our way around this town. Yelp never disappoints. Obviously, this is not a secret shop. Super busy on the night we visited, but still quick in getting us our orders. Fun, funky decor complete with a Lego wall in the back. Now, I want a Lego wall at home also. A hop and a skip from the Keeper of the Plains, which worked for us, since that's where we ended the night.
Milkfloat! Is the name that caught my eye, and this little coffee/ice cream shop is all that!! I'm not one for coffee shops, because I'm a Starbucks loyal app user, but this spot has tasty coffee cakes and the latte was on point. The 2 behind the counter were friendly and helpful, I did like not being rushed for being a 1st-Timer. The milkshake of the week is Cereal Bowl...and I did see them wheel in the tubs of Tillamook ice-cream, so it's for sure thing for tasting great. This spot is definitely worth your time and effort. ***Flight Attendant approved***
Ordered: Eggnog and Oreo Pie, Strawberry Poptart This was my second and third visit to this cafe. I visited when they first opened a few years back. I'm happy to see the high standards and quality of their pastry/dessert have only improved. On the first visit this trip, I arrived around 7 pm and not many options were available. They closed earlier during the Christmas holidays. The staff recommended the eggnog pie of which I was skeptical about. To my surprise, I ended up eating it all and ordering one to go. * Eggnog - It is a good balance of sweet and savory. I loved you could actually taste the spices. The crust was a mix between crisp and flaky yet delicious. * The Strawberry Poptart and Oreo were both pretty sweet, get milk or water to go with it you'll need it. The presentation is consistently good and the inside is always clean. I love the industrial contemporary, from the brick style walls, overhead pipes to lantern type lights. They have a boardroom style table perfect for small meetings and group gathering, it was in use on both of my visits. It a very chill and relaxing vibes inside. The staff is always friendly and attentive, the remember names and preferences which is always a plus. The items are worth the price. Note to management - have employees sample the products being sold, this way they can provide a better description of taste or texture.
okay am I a total millennial if I told you I found this place on IG first?! . We walked in and IT IS THE VIBE y'all! You're instantly taken aback by the modern chic decor! We were greeted by the sweetest (pun intended) employee who is name possibly Alena? She was sooo kind and patient with us. This place has everything babe! Pop tarts, pies, breakfast (only during a certain time), giant eye cookies (see pics), lattes, milkshakes, ice cream, I gotta stop talking about it bc my mouth is watering . If there one thing I know, it is this: you will regret not stopping by here.
Omg, came from the recommendation from Monarch and so glad I did!!! The young lady that waited on me was patient and was able to explain everything to this newcomer. And with her recommendation I absolutely enjoyed my experience.
Great cappuccinos, delicious dark chocolate butterfinger cookies, and raspberry dream pie! (I also love their brownie pie but it's not currently available as they rotate their treats.) I enjoy the atmosphere and the set up with big long tables up front, medium/small tables in the middle, a window to see their kitchen in the back kind of near the Lego area, and nice staff My only complaint is that when they rotate their treats out, I can't share them with a friend, nor do I know when that particular treat will be back. But maybe that adds to the fun of trying to discover something new knowing it might not be there next time? Tip-Just be sure that if you get a chai to get a lid on ASAP as it's not as hot as their cappuccinos. Also, they do have outlets to charge your device

Though "milk" is in the name, lactose intolerant people rejoice, there are dairy free or alternative options! Tons of really great options for both drinks and food! They had a variety of seasonal drinks that all sounded good and the praline latte was delicious! They shared that all of the desserts were made in house and there were a lot to choose from! Including vegan options . The space is really great for hanging out and/or working. There were board games and books you could read while enjoying the space. The staff was also super friendly! read more

We were on the hunt for dessert this past Saturday night after looking at Christmas lights. I've heard good things about this place so we decided to give it a try. We ordered an affogato, a banana pudding pie, and a dulce de leche cheesecake. Everything was delicious. The expresso in the affogato was strong and rich. The vanilla ice cream kicked it up a notch. The cheesecake had just the right amount of sweetness and don't get me started about the banana pudding pie, BOMB! read more

The place is a cute set up with open windows it has amazing lighting inside the establishment. They have a mini gift shop and very reasonable price! They have amazing Japanese drip coffee set up that I did not personally try but seems to be what they are known for. They have a seasonal menu so with the employee recommendation I tried the butter-beer cheese cake and the biscoff poptart. The butter beer cheese cake fell short for me wasn't too sweet but the whip cream was sweet and delicious. The cream cheese cake itself was very creamy and delicious but nothing special to it. The presentation as you can see in the picture is so pretty had glitter all over the cheesecake and whip cream it was definitely a magical touch the flavor fell short for me. Last off I got the biscoff poptart as a last minute buy and I was highly impressed. The crust was light and airy and had a very flakey consistency and was perfect to go with the filling. The filling of the biscoff filling was very well filled and was a heavy ratio to the crust which made it even better. I was worried that the poptart was going to be doughy and no filling but it was the exact opposite. I could not recommend that poptart enough! read more

Visited this cute dessert shop with my cousins. We got the chocolate cheesecake and lavender lemon cookie! The chocolate cheesecake was decadent, full of flavor, a chocolate lover's dream come true. The ganache on top of the cheesecake left a nice aftertaste. The lavender lemon cookie was very light and delightful. I loved how the cookie had lavender scents coming off of it - it was refreshing and relaxing. The girl behind the counter demonstrated optimal customer service and was very informative regarding the different desserts. She disclosed that the bakery creates a new menu every 2 months! Apparently, the pop tarts here are very popular. I'm planning a return very soon to try a pop tart! Edit: 6.28.18 - from 4 stars to 3 stars I came back today for the pop tart. The girl serving me today was very condescending (totally different from the awesome service I received last night). She made me feel stupid for asking questions. She made me feel rushed and asked if I wanted my dessert in a to go box. It was an hour before closing, and she seemed to be rushing me just to get off. She even slammed the glass door of the dessert display after serving my pop tart. However, the pop tart was still very good- just terrible and rude service. She made me very upset. I did not pay money to get disrespected. I was expecting another nice dessert experience. read more

This is such a cool cafe. I wasn't sure where we were when we walked in because it is such a huge open space. There were some long tables and then a bunch of board games. Then we got to the middle of the space and saw the delicious desserts. We really wanted to try everything here after hearing our friends' experiences. We had a big group with us so we were able to try a few different things. My daughter loved her gingerbread pop tart and the rest of us were obsessed with the cookie butter pie. I can't wait for our next visit to try other items! read more
I enjoyed my s'mores Tart and iced chai latte! The girl behind the counter was very friendly and informative about the menu. The atmosphere was very casual and comfortable. The girl told us that every dessert they make are made fresh every morning before they open. My husband had a Japanese cold brew with sweet tea and some mint simple syrup. I sampled it and it was good. I'm not a big cold brew fan though. My husband also had a slice of the passion fruit cake. I tried it as well. The flavor was very subtle and you caught it at the end of your bite. If you aren't a fan of things that are overly sweet then this is for you. We will definitely be back. read more

This place! I'm obsessed! This is the cutest little coffee shop and The staff was wonderful and so helpful! We wanted to try everything so we got several things and shared. The breakfast was delicious and the espresso coffee cake was to die for. Best thing we tried was the caramel cold brew float. It was basically ice cream and caramel with cold brew poured over the top. Absolute heaven!!! read more

I was visiting from out of town and tried this unique coffee shop. Atmosphere was so much nicer than your typical chain and my Barista named Preston made me a great Carmel Latte. The brownie with powdered sugar was also delicious. read more
Ordered a caramel latte--it was very foamy which took up most of the cup (disappointing). After all I didn't pay for a cup of caramel foam. The latte was good, wish I had more it as the foam had no added value. Also ordered a twist of homemade soft serve icecream which I waited 20 minutes before asking for a refund. The person at the register failed to tell me that the ice cream was not ready. I watched them poor the cream into the machine after I ordered it. Needless to say, I wasn't completely satisfied with my order and the staff could have bee a little more forth coming with the wait time on a small cup of ice cream.... read more

The people there were so so so nice and made the description of the food simple enough to know what we were getting and if we would actually like it. Their pop tarts in my opinion are the best ever, I got lemon, they are a little sweet in my opinion but it was still delicious. Their whole store is very comfortable feeling and super cute. They did have slightly high prices but it's understandable because of their location and because they're a local business. I love them and their food, is definitely recommend trying them if you get the chance! read more

Milkfloat was a really nice establishment, very minimalist. They have TONS of seating; an open space concept. I am excited to bring big groups of my family and friends here for a fun night of desert! I will also probably frequent here as a place to sit down and get work done; the environment is very coffeeshop-esque. This vegan chocolate cake in a jar was phenomenal- so rich and flavorful, not to mention visually appealing. My little sister and I shared it and still couldn't finish the whole thing. For $5.00 this was a great deal! They have tons of unique deserts too, like home made pop tarts! It is all VERY affordable and appears to be high quality. I spoke with the owner who is SUPER approachable and lovely. They rotate their menu every 2 months, so they will always have new stuff to try. (This only worries me because I don't need all that sugar in my life but I don't think I'll be able to resist.) They have been open 6 months and are owned and operated by a local Wichita man. Their coffee is sourced from a small farm in another state nearby who grows their beans on a farm in Central America somewhere. I got a drip coffee and it wasn't bad! Slightly more affordable than some of the other places in town. A+ for me! read more
The name "Milkfloat" makes me think of Christina Tosi's Momofuku Milk Bar, not just because the names are similar but because there's an element of experimentation and whimsy at this Delano restaurant that mimics that extremely popular NYC restaurant I've never visited. Plus there's the large open interior that features a lot of wood and natural light in a way that indicates a hip and modern restaurant in a way that has only begun to catch on in the ICT. But mostly it's because they also offer cereal milk, the creation of which is largely attributed to Tosi. The newspaper first called Milkfloat a "dessert restaurant," which was a disservice because it made you expect the place to be something that it's not. It's a bakery that serves coffee. Or maybe it's secretly a coffeeshop that serves pastry, but I'll get to that in a minute. Chances are that Milkfloat will have something you will like. Chances are that you will hesitate for a second when considering the price of some of those things, but you're already in line and, hey, TREAT YO SELF. It all looks pretty, served up on a wooden block and ready for your favorite Instagram filter. The popular items seem to be the homemade Twinkies and Pop-Tarts, both of which are in and of themselves modified versions of actual baked goods to begin with, so there's not too much of a leap of faith here for the homemade versions. The Not-a-Twinkie sponge cake tastes good and the homemade frosting tastes better than the real thing, but it's gone pretty quickly. The homemade Pop-Tarts are much more tender than the boxed variety, so you won't mind if you get a bite that doesn't have filling. The cake pops are cute, though there was too much frosting for the amount of cake. They rotate through desserts, particularly pie, very frequently, so there's a lot of opportunity for variety. I can't think of the last time I saw a banoffe pie in a display case, but Milkfloat's rendition was everything I was looking for: rich and sweet with a great depth of flavor from the dulce de leche, with plenty of distinctive banana flavor and a hearty whipped cream. Their drink menu should be considered on equal footing as their desserts, because it's just as creative. This is perhaps the first egg cream I've found in Wichita, and it's one of many interesting non-coffee drinks that pop up from time to time. Their coffee game is on point, too, with beans from Tulsa's Topeca Coffee. Having a Japanese cold brew and enjoying the full flavor spectrum that it provides I realized that Milkfloat may not always be 100% successful at everything they put out, but they offer so many good things and do them so well that there's bonus points to be found here for creativity. Wichita needs more businesses that are willing to challenge their customers and push the envelope, but just the fact that Milkfloat can thrive in 2017 is proof enough that we're headed in the right direction. read more

I've been to Milkfloat many times, and I'm always over the moon happy with my food and experience! My dietary needs can make eating out difficult, but they clearly label gluten free and vegan items, and they have caffeine free espresso as well -- and my favorite item to order happens to be their affogato. Their ice creams are so rich and delicious. And beyond the food, the staff are super helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is clean and inviting and so bright! We like to bring out-of-town guests here because it's just such a great spot with so many wonderful options. read more

My wife and I had finished eating diner at another restaurant and after letting our food settle we decided to give this place a try. We had a peanut butter cheese cake I believe, as well as some coffee to end our night. This place had a fantastic atmosphere and wonderful dessert. Next time I come to town we will be sure to stop by again when we get a sweet tooth. read more

Stopped in for a latte and was very pleasantly surprised with the large space, friendly staff, and homemade treats. The vanilla latte I got was creamy and flavorful with just the right amount of sweet. We were told every treat is made from scratch and the vanilla for the latte is locally grown. A great place to hang with friends, date or just grab a yummy cup of coffee. read more

I absolutely adore this place, it's a great place to study! All the workers are super nice, I've been here for a couple of years and they never disappoint! I've noticed there's a new worker here and they're super nice! The drinks are great, my favorites are the chai lattes and the ice teas. Their ice creams are great, the place is clean, it's near the river so it's a great place to drop by after a good walk. The place is also really pretty! Wichita is honestly really boring but I love this place! read more
This place is one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever explored around Wichita. It wasn't hard to find since the name "Milkfloat" is decaled on the front windows. The shop is super spacious when you walk in, and the register/kitchen area is placed in the middle. There are long and small tables set up around the shop, and the amount of natural sunlight is perfect if you were to do a photoshoot The menu is placed at the end of the line and next to the bakery display. Everything is baked in-store, so the pastries should be fresh. I haven't tried any yet, but they all looked delicious! My sister & I ordered 2 hot chocolates, and we sat at the small table next to the wall as we wait for the workers to make the drinks. I really like the design and environment of the shop, because of how quiet and clean it is. As I looked around, I see people meeting up with friends, studying or just surfing on the Interweb. Ps, they have free Wifi! The worker messed up my order because he thought I also ordered a small hot cocoa like my sister, but I ordered the large one instead. I corrected him and he remade my drink from scratch. The hot chocolate was cute and definitely picture-worthy. We spent some time taking pictures before chugging the entire cup down. It tasted really sweet & chocolately, I don't think I like it much-- (I can't handle too much sweet). But the walls, chairs, tables, etc are all picture worthy! Although I didn't get anything to eat this time, I'll be coming back later to try the pastries and also take more photos Environment: 5/5 Taste: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 read more
