Milk Jawn

This place was really amazing for ice cream! I’m lactose intolerant so I don’t often get to have fun ice cream flavors besides the typical chocolate that is offered in places. When I walked past the shop, I was really excited to see that they had four vegan flavors and none of them were the standard chocolate or a plain vanilla. I ended up having the vegan thriller night, which was a dark chocolate with raspberry swirls throughout. I think the raspberry was actually real raspberry, which was incredible! I can’t wait to come back and try all the other flavors and hopefully new seasonal ones to come. I’m so glad I made a serendipitous stop here.

I ordered the toffee ice cream and it was so good, lots of toffee chunks and a nice buttery flavor. I would say their flavors in general are pretty creative and diverse, not something you can get at every ice cream shop. My only qualm is the pricing, I thought $6.75 for a small single scoop of ice cream is a bit extreme even considering the quality. There is no indoor seating and it’s a bit tight inside but there are a couple tables outside.

Love this place! The staff was very friendly and the ice cream choices were very unique. I've never had mint ice cream that literally tastes like fresh mint leaves. Try it. No seating and not a ton of room inside but it's a great establisment.

Decent ice cream and service. Some cool flavors available, such as Tahini Fudge Swirl, and you can get a taste to see if you like it. Friendly staff member was helpful. The prices here are waaay expensive compared to what we are used to and we visit a lot of ice cream places.

5 stars is an understatement. I've had ice cream from all over and this place is the best ice cream!!! The flavors are so spot on and accurate and they are all so good. Highly highly recommend. And their specials are creative and delicious

Very tasty ice cream that has a great chewy texture. The tahini and earl grey ice cream were delicious, and they have many other unique flavors to try

I remember when they first arrived to passyunk and I can’t believe I am just now trying it! Really good ice cream! Spent around $15 for two single scoop ice cream cones. Not the most affordable ice cream but it was pretty good. Service was good and the scoopers are patient.

omg this is place is SO good!!! like i havent had ice cream this good like ever! all home made everything down to the waffle cones, we had the cookie butter, birthday cake & platter party! amazing 10/10

It's great ice cream! In my trips to Milk Jawn I have had the Lemon curd blueberry basil swirl (which is currently on the menu) and the Thai tea basil swirl (which isn't on the menu anymore). Both flavors were incredibly creamy with bold & innovative flavor profiles! The service is fast and friendly and Milk Jawn will happily let you taste any of the available flavors. As someone who enjoys lemon and eats gluten free this is the first place I've found that actually has lemon ice cream that's also gluten free. Typically lemon options at others places are reserved to lemon water ice or a lemon cookie variety (which is gluten containing). Milk Jawn has seating outside which is convenient on a nice day, though I always recommend taking a stroll through the neighborhood while enjoying your ice cream! Next time at Milk Jawn maybe I'll try something a little more standard like chocolate peanut butter, but I'm sure a new creative flavor will draw my eye.

My family recently stopped at Milk Jawn while we were in the city for an event. We saw the amazing reviews touting the homemade ice cream, so we were pumped. The store is super cute and has all the flavors on a board, you cannot see the ice cream as it's behind the counter. I selected the chocolate peanut butter and it was delicious - the ice cream was perfect and the peanut butter plentiful. Pints can be purchased in addition to plenty of cool merch. The staff was fairly standoffish and serving us seemed like a bother. Not sure if it's because we had kids with us, but the lack of friendliness was disappointing. A few other things to note: Street Parking (limited), Outdoor Seating, Credit Card accepted.

I love Milk Jawn!! The ice cream is so good. The regular flavors are really good. You can sample as many flavors as you want. I like to go when they have a special flavor. The thriller ice cream for Halloween was decadent! It was dark chocolate ice cream with a raspberry ribbon. The store is a light and bright with a big picture window. The window has a bar and seats. The staff is always super nice.

I love to love Milk Jawn. I keep forgetting how good they are at creating new flavors. Since it is near Halloween, we stopped by. They had a couple spooky flavors such as caramel apple pie and thriller night. They also had a Phillies playoff flavor which was interesting. The caramel apple pie tasted like apples and didn't taste that artificial. The caramel apple pie ice cream also had amazing pieces of crusty goodness. The Phillies playoff is a must get (too bad the Phillies didn't make it to the World Series this year). The playoff has salted caramel swirl and chocolate crumb crunch.

Loved that all the flavors were unique! I think they are also seasonal or rotated, so it's a new experience every time. I got the Tahini Fudge Swirl, which is truly nothing I've ever tried before - I was tempted to bring a pint home with me! The staff were also very friendly and nice, so a great experience all throughout!

The strawberry rhubarb ice cream was incredible and everything I was hoping it'd be. Key lime pie was also very good but a full scoop was a bit much after awhile. I think if it was vanilla with a key lime swirl it would have been less overpowering. But all of this is if I really needed to find a critique. Let's be real I'd still eat both flavors again if offered to me.

I got the Earl Gray and honeycomb flavor after tasting their sample. Thankfully it was a chilly evening, so the line wasn't long and I got served pretty quickly. The earl grey and honeycomb flavors were perfectly balanced and you could taste them in every bite. I will be coming back for more and try other flavors. Milk Jawn is the real deal!

Excellent! Has to be the best ice cream you'll ever have. I had a scoop of Milk and Cookies and a scoop of Malted Milk Toffee Crunch. It's so creamy, and great flavor. I will for sure be back...many times. (Excuse the photo I dug in before I remembered to take a pic)

DELICIOUS ICECREAM! Staff was super friendly and let us try out flavors before buying. I had the cookie butter and the milk and cookies both very rich and filled with lots of cookies! Place itself is not huge but they have seating outside!

Milk Jawn is my favorite place in Philly to get ice cream. When I lived in South Philly, I used to visit their stand at the East Passyunk farmer's market and buy pints from them. So when they opened their first brick and mortar, my husband and I became regular visitors and for good reason. The ice cream is high quality and I like the consistency: creamy without being too rich. As someone who has a dairy sensitivity, I love the fact that there are so many vegan versions of the dairy version of a flavor. Especially because most ice cream shops will usually offer only one or two dairy free options and/or offer sorbets as their dairy free option. Also, Milk Jawn's dairy free ice cream is actually really good. I would argue as good as dairy ice cream. If you're debating between getting your ice cream in a cup, sugar cone, or waffle cone, I would personally go with the sugar cone. Out of all the ice cream shops, I've been to, Milk Jawn has the best sugar cone; I love the flavor and how crispy it is. Ice Cream Ordered: * worth trying - [Pistachio*]: If I ate dairy ice cream, this would be one of my favorite flavors but I just have to be content with taking one (or two) spoonfuls from my husband when he orders it. You can tell the pistachios they use are high quality and the brittle takes the flavor to the next level. Milk Jawn, please make a dairy free version of this. I'll be patiently waiting haha. - [Vegan Cinnamon Cookie Jawn*]: This is one of their winter seasonal flavors. I originally didn't like this flavor when I first tried it but it gradually grew on me. I didn't love the cookies they made for the flavor but I like the additional textural layer it added and the flavor wasn't too sweet. - [Vegan Mango Sticky Rice*]: This is my go-to flavor. I like that it really captures the essence of mango sticky rice because of the coconut base and mango puree. I think the addition of the coconut sticky rice was a nice touch as well. - [Vegan Earl Grey with Honeycomb]: I don't personally like the taste of whatever earl grey tea they use. -[Lemon Curd with Blueberry Basil Swirl*]: The flavor is bright and tart and really refreshing on a hot day. -[Vegan Caramel Apple Pie*]: This is one of their fall seasonal flavors. If you ever wanted apple pie as an ice cream, this is it. I feel like the summer version of this is the Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp flavor, which I comparatively like a little better. -[Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp*]: This is one of their summer seasonal flavors. Think strawberry ice cream 2.0. I like the slight tartness from the rhubarb. - [Vegan Matcha Strawberry*]: If this was more of a permanent flavor, this would be tied with the Vegan Mango Sticky Rice for my favorite flavor. I love almost anything matcha flavored and Milk Jawn truly honoured the matcha in this flavor. Would I go back? : In a heartbeat! I like how Milk Jawn is always coming up with new flavors, with a regularly rotating menu, but knows when to bring back customer favorites. Check their Instagram (@milkjawn) for new/returning flavor updates. And I'm so happy for them on their more recent second location in Fishtown. It attests to their success, which is well deserved.

I took a bite of my ice cream from Milk Jawn and almost wept inside because it's so, so far away from where I live and I just want easy access to this incredible ice cream forever. Absolutely incredible. If you're visiting Philly (or better yet, live here), I cannot recommend Milk Jawn enough. And if you're a tourist like me who doesn't know how to pronounce Schuylkill or Passyunk without help, "jawn" means any thing (person, place or thing). No place like jawn. This jawn is hoppin'. You get the drift! There's really good ice cream in NYC/Boston and then there's Milk Jawn, in my humble opinion. The texture is intensely creamy; the flavors are super saturated; the ice cream as a whole didn't leave my mouth really sticky. I basically tried all the flavors before deciding on the mint with straciatella - I used to be the biggest hater of mint in dessert before I realized that mint is the perfect after-meal flavor. Loved the generous chunks of dark chocolate embedded throughout. The real star was the pistachio. Not only are there actual hunks of pistachio, there was just so much pistachio flavor. I've had some truly terrible fluorescent green pistachio ice creams and the one here is truly in a league of its own. I hardcore regretted not getting the pistachio. They also have to-go pints. Parking is tricky in this neighborhood but I'm talking about some seriously good ice cream and, regardless of circumstance (cars backing up behind you, snow on the ground), the ice cream here is worth the effort!

So I would always pass this up previously because of the name, but wow was I wrong. Need to try some more of their flavors, but I'd have to say this is the best ice cream in the city. A few others are close, and there's some top tier soft serve / gelato, but this is a very strong and likely contender for #1. Earl grey honeycomb was amazing, perfect creaminess and flavor. No aftertaste or chunkiness, just phenomenal. Pistachio also was excellent. As I ate the scoops, it got better as the ice cream became a little melty outside in the heat. The inside is small but the line moves pretty quick. Definitely stop here to try their ice cream! Thanks

I felt like a child again walking into my neighborhood ice cream parlor in the "80's". Milk Jawn has an awesome partnership with Mycopolitan for mushroom subscription pickup. As a child, getting ice cream was everything. I was not going to leave without getting some yummy, uniquely flavored vegan ice cream. Eat now or take for later Waffle tacos were being made as a walked in. Yum! Another South Philly gem. Staff is so kind.

This is becoming my favorite new ice cream spot! They have excellent customer service, everyone is friendly and informative. They have a couple tables outside to sit and eat your ice cream that's really cool . They have rotating flavors as well as their standard. Last time I was there I had to Girl Scout cookie ice cream called Troop Leader, it was amazing. This time I tried the malted milk toffee crunch and i was not disappointed. Also brought my mom there over the weekend and she loved her milk and cookies in a waffle cone. Happy spring!!!

Incredibly creamy and flavorful small batch ice cream place with rotating creative flavors. This is one of the top ice cream places I've ever eaten, their ice cream is as good as it gets, very creamy, fresh and flavorful. It's a casual place with outdoor seats with warm and friendly service. I got the salted toffee crunch in their homemade waffle cones (also delicious) and my husband got the vegan mango coconut in a cone. Because I really love ice cream, I bought 3 additional pints - more of the toffee crunch, plus the tahini fudge and chocolate peanut butter. They thoughtfully offered a freeze bag for my 3 pints as I was traveling 30 min drive back home and my ice cream stayed well in tact! Thank you!!

My 5/5 rating is simply for how good the ice cream is here! I tried several of them and wanted it all, but we all got different ones and tried each other's after ordering. Simply delicious! The girl who took our order wasn't the most friendly, but I've come to learn that people from Philly can be that way!

I've heard such great things about this place so I had to pop in to try. It was an awesome experience. There are tons of unique and tasty flavors. Sample quite a few and end up going for the Double Fold Vanilla. Always have to go with the classic on my first try. I'll be back for Pistachio I was also delighted to see the amount of vegan options on the menu.

My favorite ice cream jawn in the city. The best is earl Frey with honeycomb crunch. And I usually get the toffee crunch too. Tried the super fold vanilla and will be delicious with my Nespresso dribbled over top

I have already had a pint of milk and cookies from Di Bruno's but this was first time at the shop. If was delish. I really enjoyed their vegan options, I got vegan mango sticky rice and vegan pb&j. Staff was helpful in choosing. The inside is a bit small but there are some tables outside that were nice to sit at on a warm fall evening. Will definitely be returning!

Some of the best ice cream to be had in Philly with shops in East Passyunk and NoLibs. Interesting flavors and a substantial selection of vegan ice creams.

I got lots of free samples on a hot day I am very happy service was very good and kind

Got the Earl Gray with Honeycomb and husband got the Malted Milk Toffee Crunch. Both were so good but the Earl Gray with Honeycomb has to be one of the most deliciously creative combos I have tried. The guys behind the counter were super friendly and very good at small talk :) I will definitely be back for the Earl Gray!

Great ice cream in Philadelphia! I got the chocolate scoop on a waffle cone. Chocolate was a nice rich flavor, and waffle cone very crunchy and not too sweet. One scoop is pretty large and costs $5.50. Fast and friendly service. Clean interior with limited standing space.

After a Halloween Haunting done in Langhorne, me and my family was on our way home to NE Philly. I came across Milk Jawn on Facebook, and decided to stop by. Yes we drove from Langhorne to South Philly just to try them out. Heads up folks, parking was horrendous. There is no parking unless you willing to park blocks away and walk. Luckily we found a spot one block away. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted. I heard about the taste test, so I had ask for a couple of spoons before ordering. I had try the Buttermilk Peach and Mango Sticky Rice. Didn't like the Buttermilk Peach as it is pretty tangy. Mango sticky rice was pretty light if you likes light flavors. Unfortunately, I want something heavier that night so I opted for the double scoop. One scoop of Earl Grey with Honeycomb and the other scoop is Malted Milk Toffee Crunch. My favorite is Earl Grey with Honeycomb. Hubby got the Chocolate Peanut Butter, which he says he can't barely taste the peanut butter, just the chocolate. My daughter got the Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, she says is a bit too tangy for her. They should have taste test it before they decided!

Easily the best ice cream in philly. Unique flavors and a quality vegan selection as well.

Have been here a few times and it's always a delicious way to end the night. They do rotate flavors and try some interesting combinations of things. This time we tried the butterscotch krimpet flavor, which was delicious and reminded me of eating plenty of these as a child. They're not shy about letting you taste-test, which is obviously a plus. And the cones are freshly made and delicious. I will say we've been here a few times when the line is out the door, so you may sometimes wait a little bit of time but it moves quickly. And this is the first time I noticed they had outdoor seating, which was nice. Easily accessible from nearby restaurants.

Earl Grey Honeycomb Icecream! Delicious! The place is expensive, but this is quality. Staff is kind enough. Clean atmosphere

The ice cream flavors at Milk Jawn - birthday cake, milk & cookies, and earl grey with honeycomb - may not jump off the page when compared to the other creative flavors in the universe of ice cream shops here in Philadelphia, but the thoughtful attention to the details - the perfect, impossibly tender texture of the birthday cake, somehow suspended in creamy, smooth ice cream, the contrasting flavors of the apples and the pie crust and the vanilla ice cream base in the apple pie ice cream - make Milk Jawn the best ice cream shop in the city. I've never had a flavor at Milk Jawn that didn't taste like the absolute best version of what that flavor could be. I just had their strawberry rhubarb crisp this past weekend, and every bite had the perfect ratio of sweet-tart fruit and somehow-still-crunchy crisp mixed with the ice cream. My partner gets the milk & cookies flavor every single time because it's the best he has ever had, and and he still gets excited about it. Milk Jawn also has great vegan flavors. I brought a pint of the mango sticky rice flavor to a dinner and people straight up did not believe me when I told them it was vegan. To top it all off, the service is always super friendly - the staff are helpful if you ask them for suggestions and happy to let you taste flavors, which is always appreciated.

One of my favorite ice cream shop. First time I tried them was at Herman's; before they got a brick and mortar shop and they were good then and is still good. There is not a flavor that I don't like. Love their mango sticky rice, thai tea, earl grey and love when they have their Girl Scout cookies flavor! My pup also loves the pup cup! Will always be back!

Picked up a pint of Earl Grey w Honeycomb at Milk Jawn a few weeks ago after sampling it as part of a Yelp Event introducing us to some of the exceptional small batch ice cream parlors around Philadelphia. The small scoop in cup was so delicious that I wanted to bring some home for the family. They sure appreciated it. The texture was again very creamy with no ice crystals. The Earl Grey Tea flavor was mild and tasted a little like lavender. The Honeycomb looked like golden syrup mixed in bands throughout, and tasted something of bittersweet honey. The effect on our tongues was complementary, as the sweet and slightly salty combined and melted in our mouths. Totally impossible to put down as we finished off the pint with direct spoon attack in minutes. Had it been a gallon, the impact would have been the same. Deliciously addictive. Gotta go back to Milk Jawn for more!

This Ben & Jerry's and 31 Flavors boy (me) is hard pressed to accept the new peeps on the block, ala: Jeni's Van Leeuwen McConnells Bobas Yeah sure Häagen-Dazs is very doable but when I "Go Ice Cream" I go Bens and 31! That is until this past Sunday here in South Phillie, my son introduced me to Milk Jawn Ice Cream. First off, the line to get served was around the block. That got my attention. Second off, the menu here is short and sweet (no pun intended). Some pretty good looking basics and the same go for the very attractive specials. I had a scoop in a waffle cone of their Tahini Fudge Swirl that was out of this world. I totally loved it! I think this brand is a local Philadelphia thing, so I enjoyed the hell out of this scoop until I come back. In the mean time, I'll stay with my oldies but goodies with Milk Jawn in my thoughts.

Love a good ice cream spot in South Philly. They are open late til midnight (bonus!) and have lots of flavors to pick and try from. I got earl grey with honeycomb in a cup. The earl gray had a strong balanced flavor with the honeycomb, which gave a gooey texture with some crunch (could have used more crunch). The place is small though with not much seating, more of a grab and go. Will come back to try more flavors~

Great spot to cool down in a warm day. The crowd moved pretty fast because they have sufficient staff to get the line moving. I tried white coffee and it was pretty good. I could taste the coffee flavor but not overpowering. I tried key lime pie. It was tart and definitely sweeter than my white coffee to balance out the tartness.

Milk Jawn needs no introduction. I absolutely love the cool funky flavors they come up with - honestly so innovate AND delicious. Recently tried the matcha strawberry and it was so good omg! The service is amazing as always- very friendly and personable.

After dinner I wanted some ice cream so I saw that Milk Jawn was a 10 min walk from where I was :) I walked in and the place was so cute! There are even tables outside where you can enjoy your ice cream. I love how they have a variety of flavors and also a bunch of vegan flavors (immediately let me vegan friends know). I decided to go with a seasonal flavor - key lime pie. This cream was so so good. Tart and sweet with a bunch of graham cracker crumbs. Yumm! I would def. Come back again especially with my vegan friends to try more flavors :)

A friend got these catered for her birthday. Brilliant idea! They were frozen solid. Like rock hard. But it didn't take too long to thaw. I had the malted milk toffee crunch. It was delicious and so creamy! Great idea!!!!

Honestly some of the best ice cream I have ever had. Smooth, tasty, amazing. Even on a cold May evening, there was a line out the door. I will be back.

Very friendly staff. Ice cream is delicious, thick, and creamy. A little pricey, but worth it for an occasional treat in south Philly!

The honeycomb earl grey is soooo delicious! I love that there's real chunks of honeycomb. Truly so unique and yummy. I also enjoyed the toffee. Overall the flavors and taste of the ice cream is so delicious! Definitely will be back

Delicious and unique flavors! We walked there after a night of drinking at Bok bar, the perfect late night snack. Friendly service and cool name. Will be back again!

Take my money! One of my favorite local South Philly ice creamery around. The flavors are creative and texture is smooth and creamy. Each flavor is robust and packed with fresh ingredients! This has become a family weekly or so trip for us with the kids, and of course the kids give their stamps of approval too.

All I can say is wow!!! I tried the dairy free pb&j and it was amazing! There was plenty of flavors and happy they had some dairy free options. They were friendly and the service was great.

We were greeted by two workers and they tended to us right away. Small joint, but it's got such a fun and chill vibe. The quality of the ice creeks is pretty great, and while it can seem pricey, you can definitely tell this was made carefully so it would taste amazing. I also feel like their flavors have a clean taste if that make sense, in terms of ingredients. That isn't really something I could say for many ice cream trays I have tried! We had the tahini fudge swirl and it had such a good balance of flavors, as expected. It really had a good nuttiness, but in a way where the chocolate felt enhanced. Chocolate scoop was for my kid and not a single drop was left behind. Even that, a simple flavor, was very well made. I do wish they had more outdoor seating! Definitely worth checking out and sampling flavors. I love that they also have mango sticky rice ice cream, which is also vegan. We plan on buying a few pints to indulge on next week.

The ice cream was really good and cheap. It was very cold and nice inside the store. The workers were also nice and gave us a lot of samples. My experience was amazing and I highly recommend.

Great tasting flavors. Enjoyed very much I've come back for more and now happy to have found this place.

This is the best ice cream I have ever had. The ladies that served me found a way to get an entire scoop of ice cream all the way to the bottom of the waffle cone. It was fresh, smooth and tasty! Good luck finding parking in this area, but it was so good I went back in to get a pint to take home.

Caramel apple pie was good but so sweet I couldn't finish it. Cousin was more than happy to finish it for me. Would get the earl gray honeycomb again.

Wow wow wow what an incredible ice cream shop. The options at Milk Jawn are varied and creative and both vegan and non vegan options are solid, with a good amount of creaminess. I got a scoop of the earl grey with honeycomb and a scoop of the pistachio flavor and both portion sizes were generous. The flavors were spot on!!!

Probably the best pistachio ice cream I've ever tasted! I was in town for a conference and this spot was right near my Airbnb so I went two days in a row. The ice cream itself was so creamy and there were crunchy bits of pistachio mixed in, which is my favorite part! Definitely recommend 10/10!!!
