Milkjam Creamery sets the standard for what great ice cream should be. The flavors are inventive, the texture is consistently creamy, and everything tastes carefully crafted rather than gimmicky. My go-to flavors are Uncle Grandpa, Uma Thurman, and Pineapple Lychee. Uncle Grandpa is comforting and rich, Uma Thurman is smooth and indulgent without being heavy, and Pineapple Lychee is bright, tropical, and incredibly refreshing. Even if you're not usually a sorbet person, this one converts people. What really says it all is this: Milkjam is the one ice cream shop I make a point to visit every single month. I don't do that with any other ice cream place. The quality is that consistent. The shop has a fun, welcoming vibe, the staff is great with samples and recommendations, and the rotating menu keeps things exciting. If you love ice cream and live in (or are visiting) the Twin Cities, Milkjam is non-negotiable. read more

The ice cream is good but they are extremely overpriced. $12 for a shake the size of a kids drink at McDonald's and you cant even pick a flavored ice cream to use in the shake. So many better options in the city read more

Milkjam Creamery is a small but inviting ice cream shop right next to World Street Kitchen. From the moment we walked in, the staff was immediately very welcoming and kind. There was one group ahead of us, but that gave us time to look through the list of unique flavors they had to offer. Most of the flavors had goofy names that added an element of fun to the experience that I appreciated. With only one employee working at the time, we waited a couple of minutes before being helped, but it was very reasonably quick. Given the fact that a lot of the flavors were unique, we wanted to try a lot of them, especially because it was our first time. Each month, there are a few rotating flavors. This month featured a Valentine's chocolate lineup. I ended up trying five flavors and felt too guilty to try more. I honestly was not a fan of most of the flavors I tried. I expected to enjoy the PB vs Everybody (a peanut butter banana ice cream with oreo chunks), but the banana really threw me off. The Tru Luv (milk chocolate truffle with chocolate almond crunch, caramel chocolate fudge) also had a "weird" kind of chocolate flavor that I didn't really enjoy. In retrospect, I'm not really sure how to describe it. I ended up choosing the Lemon Drizzle Cake and Ridin' Duuurty (oreo milk with oreo chunks and salted peanut butter). The Lemon Drizzle Cake had a very pleasant textural contrast, and the lemon flavor was not too strong. It was just enough to come through without being bitter. As for the Ridin' Duuurty, I was actually very hesitant to pull the trigger on this flavor. Typically, cookies 'n cream is one of my favorite ice cream flavors, and I also tend to really like peanut butter-flavored sweets, so this seemed like it would be a no-brainer. But when I sampled it, the ice cream base tasted weird. It had "oreo milk", which I wasn't sure about, but definitely wasn't quite what I was expecting. I ended up going for this flavor just because I was pretty sure I would still enjoy the flavor of two components I typically love in my desserts. I was surprised to see I actually enjoyed it slightly more after the fact. The peanut butter comes as a little cube that I didn't really get in my sample bite, which definitely helped. As for the ice cream itself, it had a very nice consistency. The ice cream wasn't overly creamy, yet it was still very rich and smooth. Although Milkjam has a lot of unique flavors, all of them are on the sweeter side. Even the default vanilla flavors are "sweet cream" and have "sweetened condensed milks". Because of this, I don't think Milkjam would be everyone's cup of tea, but they have so many interesting flavors that are at least worth giving a shot. Scoops are on the pricier side, with single scoops starting at 6.50, jumping to 8.50 for a single split scoop, and 11.50 for a double. If I were to come back, I probably wouldn't get anything more than a single. Scoop sizes aren't very generous, and an additional two dollars for the split scoop definitely didn't feel worth it. Milkjam wouldn't be my first choice, but every once in a while, I would be happy to come back to try out their rotating flavors and give others a shot. read more

Delicious ice cream! Lots of street parking to easily reach the shop. Lines can be long so be careful of timing! They have many unique flavors, and even offer a sampler to try up to 4 different ones! They were sold out of a few by the end of the day. Super creamy ice cream! Cute store with some seating along the window, connected to another restaurant. read more

Wow... what a plethora of unique flavors! I stopped by here after ordering food next door at World Street Kitchen and I had to try their ice cream (dessert before dinner)! In addition to ice cream scoops, they have sundaes and shakes, and different toppings and sauces if you want to add on. They even have this thing called a Jam Bun (ice cream in between a donut). And if you're celebrating something, you can buy an ice cream cake too! I liked that their menu board is conscious of dietary restrictions and will note what is vegan, has nuts, gluten free, and even if it contains alcohol (what?!?). Picked up Single Split ($8.50) and got the Kunafa and Thai Tea flavors. Both were amazing! They currently have candy bar flavors - but spelled different probably for copyright purposes? (Snyckers, Twix, Hearth Bar, Rease's Peanut Butter Cup) read more

I came here with my daughter when they first opened, since we had dinner down the street we decided to walk couple of blocks for dessert. This ice cream Cafe is unique, they have my favorite flavor- thai tea. They do have a rotating menu. Cafe is not too big, maybe 5 tables and chairs but they share the building with a restaurant. We got in line, checked out the menu, and ordered once we got to the front. This was one of the first location to offer donuts ice-cream sandwich. read more

I tried their January monthly ice cream flavors and they were delicious! There's a small parking lot off the side of the building. It's labeled customers for World Street Kitchen. Milkjam Creamery is inside World Street Kitchen. Service was pretty quick as I was the only customer there. You can see all of the ice cream flavors in the front while you wait. read more

I hate this place... for being good and making me want to go there more. Creative flavors, tons of options for vegans. Also you can pre-order pints, skip the line and pick them up, then go home and probably not eat the entire thing because I, dear reader, am an Adult. Also the kids get to it before I can. It's pricey for ice cream but entirely in line with the overall bougie ness of it, you know what you're getting into. read more

Their flavors don't miss! Came here with a big group after a show at the Walker and we were all so excited. They had an awesome lineup of flavors, and lucky for us, they still offer a few free samples so you can narrow things down. Service was efficient and friendly. I really appreciate that they offer some gluten free and vegan options, especially of flavors you wouldn't usually expect to be GF or vegan! I opted for chocolate swiss roll and cinnamon coffee cake - both of which were January rotating specials. Both were delicious! There were multiple flavors I would have tried. Prices have definitely increased since I last visited, with a single split being $8.50 and a double being $11.50. Their shakes are $14. That feels a bit steep to me. Looking back, I would have split the flight of 4 with friends - that's $13. It was good to be back here after not having been for quite a while! read more

We ordered 5 pints, got home, and realized that 2 of them were the wrong flavor. When we got back to the World Street Kitchen Counter, they realized they had just handed us the wrong ones and couldn't take those back, but still gave us the correct flavors. So we ended up with 7 pints! Btw, if you want pints and not cups/cones, you can skip the line at MilkJam and go straight to the counter next door at World Street Kitchen! That line was about 10-15 minutes long, spilled onto the sidewalk, at 8:45pm on a Friday in early August. BEST FLAVORS Black - great but note it was surprisingly sweeter than Sheet Cake. Pecan - one of the surprise winners of the night! This was one of the incorrect flavors we were allowed to keep. Sheet Cake Pineapple Lychee - very strong mango flavors (which was one of the top ingredients when we looked) OK FLAVORS Toasted Coconut 7-Layer Bar (though very similar to Pecan) BAD FLAVORS Roasted Strawberry - this was straight up weird, and tasted way too much like jam. No one in our group of 8 enjoyed this. read more

I scream, you scream forreal, milkjam is fantastic. They offer unique flavors as well as some classics so everyone is happy. I tried black, made of a super dark cocoa, and was not disappointed. They have a few vegan options (a sorbet and a creamy strawberry when I visited) as well as plenty that are gluten free, though I'm not sure about cross-contamination as all the tubs are next to each other in the case. I'll be back to try the Thai tea flavor! read more

Insanely good! Saw Milkjam written up as a Minneapolis must try, and so happy we did! Try the seasonal flavors... I will be dreaming about Ugly Sweater (chai gingerbread with toffee pieces). 7 degrees outside but it's never too cold for ice cream at Milkjam! #chefskiss read more

So we live in Philadelphia which is hot so we have a lot of incredible ice cream places including gelato, custard and regular places like Dairy Queen, Cold Stone and Busters, so on my trip home with my middle who loves ice cream, I decided to get him the "best" MN ice cream and we ordered "Riding durty" and "black." Both were good. Slightly above average. Maybe the unique flavors for some push it higher? Overall, decent ice cream. read more

A must go to in the area! Has super unique flavors. My favorites were the classic milk jam flavor which has condensed milk. All the other flavors were amazing too! For a single scoop with one flavor it's $6.50 and to do two flavors it's $8.50. The flight is $16 for 4 flavors. Definitely a bit pricy but we did the flight to make it worth it split between 3 people and try as many flavors! There's a few seats inside but not too many. There's also street parking outside. Will definitely be back when I'm back in the area! read more

Cute little ice cream shop, super close to the lake! It's pretty popular so when we got there, there was a line. Only one person working but she was pretty fast! We found a place to sit in the ice cream shop, but if the seats are full there's more places to sit in the adjoining restaurant! Our ice cream was great and refreshing on this hot day! It's a bit pricey but worth it for a treat once in a while! read more

Stopped in randomly on a Friday night. Really unique flavors of ice cream. Small seating area.

This place is the jam! There's soooo many unique flavors, I wanted to try all of them - the Sticky Toffee Pudding was really good, as was the Tea & Scones. Wished our scoop of Uma had a bit more of the passionfruit lychee swirl. Really enjoyed these flavors and wished I lived nearby to be a regular here. 2 things that Milkjam does that I'm not accustomed to seeing is an upcharge for splitting scoops between flavors. Another thing is that they auto include a 17% service charge to ensure fair wages. Because of this, they don't ask for a tip when you pay, which I appreciate and feel is honest. Note: No cash, card only. read more

My favorite ice cream shop!!! I only ever get one flavor and I will never change it. I get the ridin' duuurty which contains oreo milk with oreo chunks and salted peanut butter. All of this already sounds sooo good. You can never go wrong with some nice ice cream on a hot summer day. The service is always great and they also give out samples if you aren't sure about what flavor to get. Please note this is street parking only but depending on the day/time you go it shouldn't be hard to find parking. All these flavors are a staple and they introduce new flavors each month!! Everyone needs to try this place out! :) read more

Milkjam Creamery - ridin' duuurty - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I would have to say Milkjam Creamery has to be in my top 3 ice cream spots if not #1...They have kept my favorite flavor since the first time I ever came, which is the Ridin' Dirty (oreo milk, oreo chunks and salted peanut butter). The last time I went I got one scoop of that along with a flavor that was new to me, Yoo-hoo puppy (yoo-hoo ice cream and peanut butter puppy chow). SO GOOD! My friend had the Milk Jam Brownie Sundae which we both loved, I believe the base was salted carmel ice cream. I love the variety of flavors, both regular and "eclectic". They usually have a line when I go but they have fast service. Parking can be a pain since it's on Lyndale but that really depends on the time of day you go. read more

We loved finally getting to try this well known ice cream stop. I got the Flight of 4 aka Ice Cream Sampler (4 Flavors: Kahwa, MilkJam, PBvsEverybody & Rid'n Dirty). I couldn't finish all of mine but I wanted to try more flavors. They do offer that you can try samples but I didn't want to make others wait. Husband Ordered the Waffle cone with 2 Scoops (Bailout & Hard Knock Life). He liked the chocolate ice cream the best. Service was fast & friendly. The restaurant was clean & they offered free self serve water (helps to wash down the ice cream). We will definitely come back when craving something sweet. read more

Very delicious! I didn't realize I did not take any pictures but I got the hard rock life?(chocolate) and toasted coconut. They had some interesting flavors and I was satisfied with what I had.

Wonderful spot in Uptown for a sweet afternoon treat with plenty of options. The place is clean and welcoming, with plenty of natural light. We tried a special flavor for Arab Heritage Month called Shosho. This is a mango-based ice cream with crushed pistachio and rose toffee. Absolutely delicious. Not too fruity, not too nutty. Perfect balance of flavors. Will definitely be visiting again to try more flavors! read more

Stopped here after lunch at WSK. Cute little shop. The line was out the door. Initially there was only one person working so the line was moving slowly. She had to take the order, make the order and ring up the person. After a few minutes, had another person joined her and things went a little faster. I ordered the Kunefe Sundae and my wife ordered the Jam Bun. They kids ordered assorted single scoops in cones and cups. The sundae was really yummy. The crunch from the phyllo and the sugar syrup and dried rose petals gave it a crunchy texture and a balance of flavors. The assorted scoops were fine. The pineapple / lychee sorbet was the standout. The jam bun was a mess to eat. The bun was hot so melted the ice cream very quickly. Definitely an interesting array of flavors and I would go back for the kunefe sundae. Worth checking out. read more

Milkjam is so delicious! I've tried a good handful of their flavors at this point & I haven't been disappointed once. This time around I got a split single scoop with Waka Flocka Flakes & Ridin' Duuurty: --The Waka Flocka Flakes was a sweet but not overly sweet base with lots of jam throughout; the flakes included were a little bit bigger than I would've ideally picked, but they added a nice texture to the ice cream. Picture toast with jam & that's this ice cream! --Ridin' Duuurty was also perfectly sweet; I loved the chunks of peanut butter, they were large & in charge. Everything was well balanced & super tasty, this one was my favorite of the 2 that I got! I see a lot of reviews regarding the prices; yeah, Milkjam isn't the cheapest place around, BUT their flavors are unique & delicious, the folks scooping the ice cream have always been really fast & helpful (while staying upbeat even during rushes), & the storefront itself is simple but cute. If you're going out for ice cream anyway, why not spend a little more & get the good stuff? read more

Over rated Okay I sound like a broken record but everything in Minneapolis is over rated. I would take 0.5 points off any team rating. Another place I really wanted to taste good and it wasn't. If your from out of town - don't waste your time. Food -C The ice cream was just okay I can think of dozens of better places Service - C Sloooooooowwww - they had 2 people working but one was on break or something. Customers walked out. We were about to. Minneapolis workers are the slowest I have ever experienced. Especially the places that have service changers for "fair wages". Value - D Expensive and not worth it. Also super high taxes. Like everything is 10% more. Not sure where the money goes because the infrastructure is terrible. If you are going to Minneapolis stay away from any place that adds an automatic service charge for its employees. The portions sizes will be small and the service will be terrible. No incentive for workers to work. If you're a virtue signaling hipster who has never left Minnesota you will be heaven. Believe all the negative reviews read more

I tried Milkjam for the first time several years ago and it has remained one of my top favorite places to get ice cream. I love how unique the flavors are and how there is a flavor rotation every month. The service is always quick and friendly and they even let you sample the ice cream before picking a flavor, which is perfect for me - since I'm particularly indecisive! It's hard to choose ice cream when there are so many options. Probably one of the most unique flavors I've tried from them was Kanafeh but I've absolutely loved the Ridin Durty! The ambiance is modern and they have a cute neon sign - perfect for the 'gram. There is a decent amount of seating as well. Recently I tried their Thanksgiving ice cream pies, which are phenomenal. This particular one was a pumpkin cheesecake pie. It didn't even taste like ice cream. It was SO good! Definitely hit up Milkjam the next time you're in town. It's worth it. read more

A higher standard ice cream shop with friendly staff and a few places to sit as you enjoy your frozen treat. They have unique rotating flavors and lots of portion options. If you can't decide, I recommend getting the single split! You can get two flavors in a cup or cone. The flight was just way too big to finish by myself. I really enjoyed the Thai tea and cereal killers. It was a nice place to just sit and dissociate for a bit. Parking wasn't too bad on the street. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place is so good! Unique flavors, instagram-able desserts and much more. My favorite part is that each flavor indicate whether it contains nuts and whether it is Vegan, which is great for allergies. Great spot to hang with friends or with family.

*Review for event catering* Best ice cream spot in the Twin Cities! We had a Milk Jam ice cream scooping station come to our wedding reception for 50 people and it was a huge hit! 3 flavors, lots of toppings, they were willing to personalize one of the flavor names, the two scoopers were super friendly... what's not to love? Would highly recommend booking a scooper station for an event (you book it through World Street Kitchen)! read more

Wanted to try something different and this hit the spot. There is street parking on a very busy street. The ice cream was very smooth and creamy. I enjoyed the topping which was different then your typical caramel topping. They have staple flavors every day and switch out 3 flavors monthly. You can sign up for their rewards club if you like. The owners are from Oakistan and own a restaurant connected to ice cream shop. I really enjoyed it. read more
