Milkjam Creamery is a small but inviting ice cream shop right next to World Street Kitchen. From…read morethe 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.

Milkjam Creamery sets the standard for what great ice cream should be. The flavors are inventive,…read morethe 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.

There's just one problem: the lattes are inconsistent in the evenings. The majority of times I order a latte, I can hear the loud sound of the steam wand, which tells me the milk isn't being steamed properly. The loud sound tells me the wand is too far in the milk. Many times, the latte also turns out lukewarm. I really love Sebastian Joe's, but I can hear the indication that the baristas don't have proper coffee training. I have several years of barista experience under my belt; is there anyone there who can take some time to give better training? Fingers crossed this gets fixed.

This is such a cute ice cream shop! Never heard of it until my sister took me here (she probably…read moreseen it on TikTok or something lol). They have menus to checkout before you approach the counter. They have a few tables inside, some picnic tables along the outside of the restaurant and a super cute Euro themed patio. I really want to go back later in the evening to check it out & get more ice cream or a drink! This time I got a butter toffee scoop which had dark chocolate chunks in it. Very good. They have a one way flow of traffic through the shop, so if you need to reenter or use the bathroom you have to go back around to the front door. Staff were pretty chill. Street parking only, pretty easy to find a spot as it's in a less congested area.

Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully balanced, which made it hard to pick a favorite. If you enjoy inventive desserts done well, Edward Dessert Kitchen is definitely worth the stop.

But if you, like me, may have any interest in cheese curds, or spicy chicken, or a burger, god forbid; i suggest you carry on reading. I should preface this with an in depth disclaimer: i am not a picky eater. i eat things that others find repulsive, i eat things in ways other people would never dare to consider. when i cook, i consume a mouthful of each ingredient im using before i add it. i want to understand the taste! (this is not an exaggeration). i eat anything. and that's why it's so strange to me that for the first time in my life, the power of bebe zitos has rendered me incapable of finishing a dish. This food sucks, man. it's like, made by people without tastebuds. The food here is so aggressively bland, it's rather impressive. Not underseasoned... unseasoned. Every dish tastes like the kitchen staff has a personal vendetta against flavor. Chewing it is like having a mouthful of familiar textures with very little taste, if any. it's quite maddening. Here's what really gets me: they'll proudly serve a vanilla ice cream with MSG added, and use words like "umami" on their menu. But a burger? Fries? Those don't deserve salt. The cognitive dissonance is staggering. You understand flavor science well enough to dose your ice cream with MSG, but you can't be bothered to season a patty? it's bland incarnate, masquerading as classic diner fare, but deconstructed and self aware, in all its greasy goodness. And those precious little boxes everything comes in? The ones that look so adorable on Instagram? They're a disaster. The second your food goes in there, steam turns everything soggy. Your fries get limp, your burger sits in its own condensation. My mind has never before been a host to the abstract thought forms of "french fry" and "erectile dysfunction treatments" in my mind at the same time Speaking of which - I paid extra for avocado on my burger. What I got was half an avocado, uncut, just plopped on top like an afterthought. Not sliced. Not mashed. Just a whole hemisphere of avocado that's somehow both slimy and weirdly warm from sitting in that steam-trap box. Look at this thing. This is what $3 extra gets you - a sweaty, unsliced avocado half slowly dissolving into mush on top of an already soggy burger. Did anyone in the kitchen actually think about how this would be eaten? Or was the photo op the only consideration? The complaints keep piling up elsewhere too - overcooked tots, what appears to be frozen pre-packaged chicken, grossly overpriced for what you get. This is an ice cream shop pretending to run a kitchen, and it shows. The irony is that they clearly know how to make something excellent - the proof is in their ice cream. Creative flavors, perfect execution, a depth of understanding the chemistry of taste. So why does the savory menu taste like an afterthought prepared by people who've never actually eaten their own food? Come for dessert, skip literally everything else.

The seasonal rhubarb ice cream was unforgettable: perfectly balanced, fresh, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical ice cream shop. The experience went beyond the ice cream itself. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun, making us feel less like customers and more like neighborhood regulars.

The rotating menu keeps things exciting, but they always keep a few fan favorites. The flights are one of my favorite things to get. They're mini scoops, which makes it so fun to try different flavors without committing to just one. My top picks are the caramelized white chocolate, the sea salt caramel pecan, and the salted honey. All three are incredible. You can also grab pints to go, and the prices are super reasonable. A five-scoop flight for $6 is such a steal. Pump House is always worth the stop, and easily one of the best ice cream shops in the Twin Cities.

We enjoyed an appetizer, a few bruschettas, and a few pastas on our most recent visit. Arancini were the perfect start: crispy, creamy, and a little spice from the sauce! Chicken Liver Mousse Bruschetta was the weak point in the meal as it just seemed to be lacking a component that balanced the richness of the mousse. The Crispy Pork Shoulder and Carrot Bruschetta was VERY salty, but I kinda enjoyed how it would make my mouth water, quenched by the creamy carrot puree. The Gnocchi are little pillows of heaven, and the orange sauce is such a pleasant surprise. The real star for me was the Mushroom Agnolotti: little pillows of creamy, mushroomy goodness topped with a plethora of additional mushrooms. Chef's kiss. Can't wait to come back again and again!
