Milk & Froth Ice Cream

We stopped in from the cold to get some heat and also ice cream - honeycomb. The interior of the restaurant was so cute with what looked to be red milk carton sections to sit upon. Take it from my Mother, the ice cream was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to find a small selection of vegan ice cream. Considering I’m lactose intolerant, I should have tried one of the three flavours they had. Alas, I’ve been so sick before on ice cream that I’m shell shocked - this and I’m on a diet! I will try it the next time I return to Ann Arbor. The price of the ice cream for a single scoop is a little steep at $5, but my Mother said it was definitely worth it.

This is the second time I have came here and the first waffle cones are phenomenal and the pecan Butter Brittle ice cream is to die for! If you haven't tried this place I recommend you come try them out. They will let you sample any of the ice creams first to make sure you like them before purchasing. And if you're vegan I have four different options for you as well!

This creamery is a gem—great variety of interesting, unique flavors that go beyond the usual. The staff was super helpful and genuinely kind, making the experience even sweeter. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!

Amazing ice cream! We got malted cherry chocolate and roasted strawberry and both flavors were delicious. I didn't even realize the strawberry was vegan until my husband pointed it out, and would totally eat it again regardless. Our favorite part was the homemade waffle cone, which was an absolute steal for just $1 extra. It was strong enough to hold up the ice cream while providing a great chewy, cookie-like texture when bitten.

Lovely new space! The flavors of ice cream are great and very yummy! There is a good mix of vegan and dairy flavors - perfect for everyone! Grand opening is coming up soon, so be sure to check it out! The design is very cool inside and quite unique.

Love this place! We try to come every summer when we visit. Sea salt butter cake or caramel are the absolute best flavors. They didn’t have either this time, but the malted cherry chocolate was still great!

While there are many options for ice cream in town, I feel that Milk & Froth has the best mix of service, originality, and quality. It's so hard to pick a flavor when they're all so distinct, novel, and delicious.

This place is nice, but maybe a bit overcomplicated. I was saying to the wife that even in the name Milk & Froth they have concentrated on the wrong parts of ice cream. I would prefer Flavour and Chunk. The Peppermint Patty was very minty (perhaps lacking in pepperminty-ness), but it didn’t have the chunks of dark chocolate you want in a good mint ice cream. The honeycomb was really disappointing, not much comb chunk at all and just kind of tasted buttery. Good cone, but you know if your cone is the star of the show you’re probably not writing your magnum opus. I recommend they take a leaf out of the book of their spiritual rival, Flavour and Chunk, and reach for that chunky, flavoursome summit of excellence that is easily within reach.

So YUMMMMMMMM. This place is pretty new as I don't remember it last time I was in town. The first sign of it being good is that the line was out the door. Super cute inside with a "ice cream industrial" feel to it. The second sign it was good was that everyone walking out was already halfway finished eating their ice cream. LOL. Kids were working really hard and it was busy. Not a huge amount of flavors but the flavors they had were amazing!!!!! I got the strawberry and it was so so good!!!! My wife and both kids were all in agreement that theirs were awesome too. We all got the waffle cone as well. Definitely check it out if you're an ice cream lover.

Pretty underwhelming ice cream imo. Not a ton of different flavors and nothing that I tried really blew me away. For the price, your money is better spent at Blank Slate.

Every time I visit Ann Arbor, I always look up new restaurants, cafes and dessert shops to check out. I'm glad I stumbled across Milk & Froth. My friends and I stopped by this past Tuesday evening. The interior is pretty small with minimal seating (a couple benches, several stools, and an interesting choice of concave wall seating -- not sure how to describe it but you'll know what I mean if you're there). Lots of red. Pretty clean and new looking, overall. Fortunately, not a lot of people when we went, so we were able to find seating for all six of us. A single scoop is 5.00, but the scoop is quite large. I also tried a couple flavors before picking the one I wanted and also had the opportunity to try flavors that my friends got. I think their menu changes pretty regularly. They only offer 10-12 flavors, but they're pretty unique and I definitely had a hard time choosing. Overall, the ice cream was super creamy and very good -- also, not too sweet :) * HONEYCOMB - I ended up choosing this one because I wanted the crunchy honeycomb bits, but there wasn't too much of that here. Also at the end, it was a bit too sweet for me. * MATCHA PISTACHIO - Lots of matcha flavor, but couldn't really tell the pistachio. My friend enjoyed this a lot, though. * BLACK SESAME - Best black sesame ice cream I've had, probably. The black sesame flavor was super strong and didn't feel diluted like other versions of it that I've had * ROASTED STRAWBERRY (V) - I wouldn't be able to tell this was vegan if they didn't tell me. This was quite good and had a strong strawberry flavor. I'd recommend for sure. * SALTED BUTTER CAKE - I love a lil bit of sea salt in my ice cream. The butter cake was a bit too much for me, but overall, solid flavor for the sweet tooth individuals out there. Definitely check Milk & Froth out!

Great vibe, loved the ice cream and service was amazing. My wife and I recommend this place, you should give it a try.

Took my daughter here for a day date. Super yummy flavors to choose from. Small shop with a bit of seating on Main Street outside. Friendly crew working there. I'd certainly go back!

This might just be the best ice cream in AA! The texture of this ice cream is unreal. I've never had ice cream that was this creamy. The flavors are unique and complex. I appreciated that they offered samples. The black sesame had such a great depth of flavor. The honeycomb had delicious bits of honeycomb that added perfectly to the texture. The sea salt butter cake was delcious and very sweet. My favorite is the chocolate hazelnut. They have vegan options too. They have cute seating inside.

Stopped into Milk & Froth on New Year's Eve because they were open and we were craving something sweet after dinner (and because yelper Kevin Z. said it was good!!) Their menu is small but mighty. We had the: *Black Sesame (nutty refreshing toasted black sesame) & Sea Salt Butter Cake (lightly salted ice cream with swirls of butterscotch and pieces of gooey butter cake) on a waffle cone - I liked the black sesame so much that I bought a pint to go! The sea salt butter cake was SOO lovely; the touch of salt made this ice cream outstanding. *Coffee & Cream (medium-roast coffee steeped in coconut cream) - If you didn't tell me this was a vegan flavor, I wouldn't have known! The texture was as luscious and creamy as normal dairy ice cream. It's not common for a place to have as many vegan flavors as they have "regular" dairy flavors so I was fairy impressed!

I finally made it here! Boy, am I glad I did. This is hands- down the best ice cream I've ever had. They provide you with samples, and after, I opted for a split scoop of black sesame and matcha pistachio. Truthfully, I'll bet every flavor is fab! I also loved the bright red, modern decor. I'll surely return and indulge in every flavor...

After just one visit and two scoops of ice cream I'm gonna call it... Milk & Froth is the best ice cream in Ann Arbor. But wait, there's more. It's also better than that beloved place in Ypsi which recently closed its doors. Yes, and also better than the gelato made by A2s famous Z. These are bold statements, I know. And I'm sure the townies don't want to hear that the newcomer from the big city might displace the beloved local institution around the corner. There is room for both places, even in the downtown corridor, and I welcome the new arrival for a variety of reasons. 1) It's open all. year. round. That's right. Ice cream every month, for twelve months. Just like God intended. Eating ice cream in February is a joy, because you can walk down the street with your cone in your gloved hand eating it at a leisurely pace since it is in no risk of melting whatsoever. Just ask any Bostonian. That's another four season ice cream town. Are the folks in Beantown tougher than those of us who live around the Motor City? Probably. But we can learn a thing or two from them and squeeze some more joy out of winter. 2) Texture. There is a quality about truly great ice cream that I have been missing since moving to Michigan. And that is the dense, sticky, and almost elastic pull of a well churned custard. The scoops at Milk & Froth had the texture down in spades. I could tell from my first bite that I had found the ice cream for which I had been longing. 3) Flavor and inclusions. Every shop has winners and losers. Personal preferences are fascinating things, but also part of the diversity of life that keeps things interesting. If everyone loved the same flavored ice cream, think how boring the world would be. That said, intensity and depth of flavor, in addition to thoughtful, well distributed inclusions are far less subjective. Gazing into the bin of Honeycomb was mesmerizing, with all of those glorious chunks of honeycomb brittle, and I'm going to have to go back for a scoop very very soon. The maiden voyage was reserved for two flavors. One scoop of their perennially popular "Sea Salt Butter Cake" which honestly didn't sound like a winner to me. But the interplay of salted ice cream, butter scotch, and bits of soft butter cake were both delicious and unique. More than anything, I think this worked best when paired with another sweeter flavor to serve as foil to the salt. The other scoop hit on some personal favorite flavor combinations. "Malt Cherry Chocolate" was malt ice cream with tons of delicate chocolate shavings, mixed with roasted Michigan cherries. Dang that was delicious. But I am also a malt freak. On its own, and being super critical, it was just a hair on the sweet side. But with the salted ice cream, the two were just perfect. For anyone who might be skeptical about my state of mind while enjoying these scoops, given the glowing nature of this review, I would like to provide the following context. I had no preconceived notions of this shop. I had never heard of them before, and was not anticipating their grand opening. Heck, I wasn't even hungry. I had just finished a massive brunch, but felt like I needed to try a couple of scoops "for science". Knowing nothing about Milk & Froth I was also deeply suspicious about a place that billed itself as "craft ice cream". My mother-in-law asked me what that meant. I told her that it meant it was expensive. Maybe that last part is still true. I don't know. A bowl with two scoops set me back $8. But you know what? Given how good this was, I'm already looking forward to my next visit. That Honeycomb is on my short list, and maybe the chocolate hazelnut too? The staff was super friendly and the space is visually striking. My kid thought the music being piped in didn't quite match the vibe. I didn't notice. I was entirely transfixed on the ice cream, as you could probably tell.

New craft ice cream spot that just opened on Main St a couple weeks ago! And it's SO GOOD. I walked in on the earlier side of the evening (~5:30pm) and was the only one there. I imagine it's going to get busier soon. The ice cream is delicious. They offer samples, but I was feeling decisive and just got a single "split scoop" with Roasted Strawberry and Black Sesame. The strawberry is delicious, but the black sesame was an absolute standout to me. Next time I'd like to try their Honeycomb. Or maybe I just get Black Sesame again :). Crafted in small batches at Eastern Market! Very cool look! The trendy interior glows in pink and red, which you can see even from the outside. There's not a lot of seating (yet?). Vegan options as well. UPDATE - went back 3 days later lol... the Honeycomb is UNREAL. It is dethroning black sesame for me for now :). Also was pleasantly surprised to learn that the roasted strawberry is one of the vegan flavors!

Obsessed. So, so impressed with this place. I am dairy-free and have basically given up on all alternatives because they are either far too sweet, taste like coconut or are iced. Milk & Froth offers both non dairy and traditional ice creams that could be lined up and indistinguishable. My husband is good with dairy and got a split scoop with a vegan flavor too which he usually wouldn't because quality can lack in DF ice cream. Love that we were both able to find flavors we liked and that they were so unique. I also love that there are a good amount of options for both dairy and dairy free so one isn't left out of the fun. This will be a regular stop on date night! Staff were friendly and efficient even in the chaos of just opening and it being a weekend. Love it here!

The BEST ice cream spot in Ann Arbor !! Although they have limited options, each flavor is crafted with care. I love Black Sesame ice cream and theirs did not disappoint. The flavor is rich and nutty. My friend let me try her Matcha Pistachio and it was amazing as well. It's very unique and strikes the perfect balance between matcha and pistachio. Can't wait to come back!

Tasty flavors with a limited menu. Earl Grey and black sesame were the standout flavors. Waffle cones are delicious and fresh - but that's the only cone option and there's an upcharge for it. This location must be new because they didn't have anything in the freezer (which was a bummer because there's a flavor that I really wanted to try) and it felt kind of bare inside. Service was super friendly. Several places to sit inside and enjoy your scoops.

Milk & Froth is definitely a top contender to be the best ice cream in Ann Arbor. They have so many craft ice cream flavors unlike others, such as black sesame, matcha & pistachio, roasted strawberry, and more. I tried a few flavors, and honeycomb takes the crown for sure. It leaves a very pleasant aftertaste and has the perfect sweetness. Matcha and pistachio is also pretty good. Black sesame could have a stronger, deeper sesame flavor. They are a tiny bit more expensive than Blank Slate with a smaller and more refined variety. I came late at night and this place was packed! Definitely worth a try, and this place might become a staple in the town!

Wow. The ice cream is amazing. They clearly use high quality ingredients. It is very creamy and full of flavor without being too sweet. I love the vegan options too. So good.

After standing in line forever. I found this long strand of hair in my ice cream. What a waste of time and energy. They need start wearing hairnets.

Such a fun new spot on Main Street in AA. The list of flavors is pretty short but I still think there's something for everyone, especially if you are willing to look at both dairy and vegan options. I have gotten the sea salt butter cake twice now and it is so decadent and delicious. Last time I was there I also tried the vegan milk chocolate option and it was perfect, couldn't even tell that it didn't have diary in it. The line can get a little long on the weekend evenings but they move it through pretty fast. Would definitely recommend!

The ice cream is fantastic!!! Honeycomb flavor is superlative. Also loved the coffee & cream (really strong coffee flavor) and the butter pecan brittle. A must try

Freshly made ice cream. The flavors are unique and really tasty. Stopped by here after dinner and was pleasantly surprised!

Easily the best I've cream in the state. Great flavors, textures and density. Has already been worth there drive downtown Detroit, excited to see it in A2!

Ice cream was mid and expensive!! Blank slate ice cream is better hands down. Not a lot of options!
