"Milkcow" is a korean soft serve menu located inside Sunfish Poke Bar in Fremont, CA…read more I was doing a Yelp search for matcha soft serve, and Milkcow popped up. To clear up any confusion, this is a korean soft serve dessert menu offered inside Sunfish Poke Bar. They offer milky soft serve and shakes. I've been here twice. Staff are cross trained in both menus, so there's no delays. If you have no problem having soft serve in a restaurant that smells like seafood, then Milkcow is the place for you! I had the Milky Matcha with a chocolate drizzle on my first visit. Then I had the Milky Coffee w/ Caramel drizzle on my second visit. This was my first time trying korean soft serve. It has a different texture than regular soft serve ice cream. I would describe it as a soft, fluffy, and velvety texture. The Milky Matcha is a twist combo of matcha and vanilla, with a matcha sauce/topping. Even with a chocolate drizzle, you could still taste the earthy flavor of the matcha. The Milky Coffee wasn't as impressive, but still a nice dessert. I will definitely come again.

I come here whenever I am craving soft-serve ice cream. The service here is pretty good; I don't…read morereally have to wait too long for my order. The space is shared with sunfish pokebar, so getting ice cream after lunch is always awesome :)

Looking at the other photos, it appears to be a standard practice. Presentation is important. Customers want value for their money. So being skimpy on the gelato isn't a good thing. (Serving Size: 2/5). Customer service was great. I asked for 2 scoops in a cup for $7, chocolate and cappuccino chip. I told the chatty clerk it was my first time here, and she offered me a free sample. The gelato was good and creamy. Wafers and chocolate drizzle cost extra. Customer service: (4/5). The shop looks dark from the outside. The lights were low, and the AC was on. They have a few tables inside. Only 1 of the 2 gelato cases were was stocked. Ambiance: (3/5). Would I return? Maybe. There's two frozen yogurt shops nearby that will probably get my business. Free parking

I've had this place bookmarked for forever and was super excited when I realized I'd be in the area and could finally check it out. You can either order via walk-in or drive through. I opted to do the drive through as I didn't see any available street parking right in front of the ice cream shop. Luckily the drive through line was very short when I came by Tuesday evening around 6 pm. The first confusing thing for me was how to get into the drive through line, as I was coming from the wrong direction. There were no signs for this. Eventually I pulled up and asked one of the workers, and she said the drive through line entrance is on Neal St, coming from the First St direction. The second confusing thing was that there wasn't much of a menu for the drive through. There's just one small sign with a list of their everyday flavors and another one with some new flavors listed, but that was it. It was a spontaneous decision to come here, but had I known, I would've done more research on available flavors. No prices were listed either. After coming, I looked on their IG page and saw a bunch more flavors featured that would've been fun to try. Oh well. I ended up going the most basic route with a small vanilla soft serve. It was ready for me when I pulled up to the inside. The vanilla soft serve was delicious! I'm used to "lighter" soft serves from the fast food chains, but the ice cream here is creamier and more dense, which I absolutely loved. It felt like it had more substance to it. Plus you can't beat the price! It was only $3.50 for a small, which was already very large.

I ordered an Ube Shake which had a nice texture and flavor. To some, it might be considered as an artificial ube taste though. It didn't melt instantly with the hot weather outside! To me, it was a refreshing sweet treat. Only downside is the shake was pretty pricey ($9.95) for a small. Might be back but will most likely come for a ice cream cup instead.

I ordered through the tablet, though you can also order at the register. They seem efficient enough, and my order was served in a short amount of time. One of their biggest draws is their massive range of available flavors in both ice creams and sherbets. I tried their Double Fudge Brownie & Mocha Almond Fudge. While I did enjoy the ice cream, I found it a little too sweet & a little too strong on that gummy thickener texture that some ice creams have. The toppings are also kind of expensive at $1-2 for things like sprinkles or chocolate syrup. If I'm in the area and looking for dessert after dinner, I'll definitely keep this spot in mind, but I can't see myself specifically visiting for their ice cream alone, especially because there's no seating outside of two tall outside tables.

Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. The ice cream had a very icy texture with noticeable ice crystals. The black sesame flavor itself was strong, which I enjoyed, but there were barely any pieces of brittle throughout. The Blueberry Oreo, on the other hand, lacked flavor, and I only got about two small pieces of Oreo in the entire scoop. The double was also $9.50, which felt pretty steep considering how small and skimpy the portion was. I literally finished it in a few minutes. Overall, this was just not worth the price for me. I really wanted to like this place, especially because of the unique flavors, but unfortunately, I left feeling pretty disappointed. Wouldn't come back or recommend it to anyone else.

The smallest ice cream scoop was selected by the supposed new guy and they started to scoop the gold medal ribbon that was almost melting away on the scoop itself. However, I spoke up politely inquiring why the ice cream was melting away. The new guy replied that it had caramel inside which is why it was melting. This did not make any sense. Thankfully, it did not make any sense to the other experienced server as well and they immediately took notice and asked the new guy to scoop ice cream from the frozen section of the ice cream container. The experienced employee also asked the new guy to select a larger scoop for large scoops of ice cream requested by the customer.

I went there to order a cake a week and a half in advance, and everything seemed to go ok. I spoke to the manger over the phone at the store when the guy behind the counter wasn't sure about the cakes because their freezer was broken. She assured me that everything was ok. He wrote down the order EXACTLY and PRECISELY. After paying my $70 (gulp) for the ice cream cake my soon to be 6 year old BOY picked out, we left. On the day of the party, I went to pick up the cake and they had made the WRONG cake!!! Pink flowers, and girlie flip flops adorned my little boy's cake. When I told mercedes, the cake decorator, she jumped into action. Turns out the manager had FLAT OUT LIED to her and said she had spoken to me (also saying I was a guy-im not) and that I said the other cake was fine. What exactly did she think was going to happen when I came to get the cake?! Well, Mercedes spent her time fixing the cake. She came out with bags of frosting and just went to work. She carefully removed the pink flowers that surely took her a while to put on, and did her best to make the cake the one that we picked. They did not have the things that went on the cake I ordered, but she used frosting to make it great, and even told me where to get the things I needed. She didn't hesitate - just went to work fixing someone else's mistake. My son loved the cake! And if this were simply a review for the shop, I'd give 2-3 stars (the ice cream cakes are delicious as is the ice cream itself), but mercedes single handedly earned them more! Thanks so much! I will not be ordering from there again without speaking directly to her. She is truly an asset. They'd have lost at least this customer for life without her. read more

I was thrilled to try Nirvanaah this weekend when it was a million degrees outside. I was impressed with the flavor selection and decent interior. The complaint I have is about the flies and the service. My wife and I waited for a good 5-7 minutes before anyone acknowledged us, and the place only had one other customer who was already eating. We chose the basic chocolate flavor and lychee flavor - both were good. The issue I had was with several flies that were inside. The employees did not seem to care, and the flies were buzzing about while my wife and I were eating. That can be quite unappetizing. Pros: Good Ice Cream Pros: Nice interior Cons: Slow service Cons: Sanitary issues with flies read more

I love something different, and one of the things I'm am always happy to try is ice cream. Nirvanaah is a great place to go. They do have a small selection of the standard flavors you'll find in everyday ice cream shops but it's the flavors they mark as special that get your taste buds going. The group i was with tried a few different things, but I first tried a pistachio and something else (sorry, I don't recall) which was great, but decided on the Mukhwas. I found that out of this world, the flavors and textures made it one of the best cones I've had in a long time. read more

This ice cream shop offers many different flavors that you don't normally find at typical ice cream shops like lychee, pistachio, mango, rose petal, etc. The ice cream is very good and creamy. I ordered a birthday ice cream cake for my daughter (mango and lychee flavors) and Nirvanaah did not disappoint. The staff was nice and very accommodating. The owner even came an hour prior to opening hours so that I could pick up the cake on time for the party. Can't wait to come back and try their other flavors. read more
