    I never thought ice cream could be this delicious! They have such creative, funky flavors like “Yum Cha,” “City That Never Sleeps,” and “Happy Wife.” The friendly staff lets you taste up to four flavors before ordering, which is super helpful. Plus, having dedicated parking spots in the back with a rear entrance makes visiting so convenient. A truly great experience—I’ll definitely be back when next time visit Houston!!!

    This is such a nice ice cream place in Houston. It’s all homemade and they have such a variety of flavors, including some seasonal ones. The ice cream here is so smooth and has such a refreshing after taste to it. This time, I got the Sundae Funday. The sweet cream and the hints of chocolate worked super well together. The portions are relatively large so bear that in mind. As an aside, the waffle cones do have a surcharge but are pretty good. Definitely recommend this place.

    Milk + Sugar is not the place to go if you’re looking for basic flavors and that’s exactly why it’s so good. Their whole vibe is built around the idea that life is too short for plain vanilla, and they truly live up to it. All of the ice cream and mix-ins are made in-house, and the flavors are creative, modern, and fun. Think brownie chunks, pieces of cake, seasonal ingredients, and unique combinations you won’t find anywhere else. Every flavor is exclusive to Milk + Sugar, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into them. The day I went, the flavor selection was stacked Brown Butter Brown Sugar, Dulce de Horchata, Ube (vegan), Thai Tea Yum Cha, PB Cookies & Cream, and more. I ordered the Cereal Milk, and it genuinely tasted like the real thing nostalgic but elevated. So good. Parking can be a little limited in the lot behind the shop, but it was empty when I went, so no issues that day. Definitely check their Instagram for seasonal flavors, including dairy-free options. This is the kind of place you go when you want something different, indulgent, and thoughtfully made.

    Exceptional ice cream with primarily unique flavors from around the world (15, with 1 or 2 vegan), great portions and value (2 large scoops for $8) and ample seating. My favorite shop in Texas, very strongly recommend. We got multiple flavors and our favorites were the Yumcha (Chrysanthemum and Pandan ice cream), Rain or Shine (Earl grey with honey and lemon) and the vegan Ube. The flavors were spot on and ice cream was of perfect sweetness. They also got really good merch and I got a T-shirt.
