Got pumpkin and pistachio with waffle crisps . The server/staff guy was really nice in recommending a flavor and really nice overall. Relaxed vibe even though it was closing time. 10/10 would recommend. Good value for money

No samples?!? No problem as the mint and chocolate flavors were all tasty. Ice cream is nice and creamy without being too buttery.

I had Red Bean and Vietnamese Coffee ice creams, they’re so good! Super cool to have unique flavors like red bean and durian.

Had ube and horchata ice cream combo sandwich. I’d say it’s ok for $10 price. Personally I don’t really appreciate the cinnamon flavored ice cream and the ube is just a-ok (equal or less good than Trader Joe’s ube ice cream).

Love Milkbomb for the unique ice cream flavors that they have. The people working there are always very friendly. The line can get a bit long at times, but I don’t mind with how good the ice cream is. My favorite flavors are cookies and cream and birthday cake!

First time for me and my son to try a bomb, which is, in our case, a Mexican bun or matcha bun, respectively, filled with your choice of available ice cream, sorbet, etc. fillings. We had the banana rocky road and respectively. Both were very good and the bombs were excellent. They also have cones and cups for traditionalists.

The only service issue was no samples, but the guys were very pleasant and helpful otherwise. This is the first ice cream store I've been to that doesn't allow you a taste.

As for atmosphere, there really is none, since they did not allow customers inside for some reason. You could sit at their tables and chairs outside, but you have to deal with those who don't respect that they are for customer use and, the passing dregs of society, druggies and smokers. The area is one of the worst in downtown, so best of luck to them. I will only put us there if we're close by for somewhere else.

My FAVORITE place for ice cream!!! The most amazing flavors, so unique, and extra delicious. I’ve become a regular and the staff is always so kind. It can be super busy but the line is worth the wait! Make sure you visit if you want high quality ice cream and wonderful service!

Had the pistachio and banana rocky road ice cream sandwich.The absolute worst i’ve had in a long long time. Tasted of nothing but artificial flavouring. Don’t know how this place is so popular

I wanted to like it, but unfortunately:

- You can’t see any of the ice cream. It’s all behind frosted glass.

- The Ube Horchata tasted like bitter food coloring. I love Horchata, and love Ube, but this missed the mark.

- You can’t sample anything. If I had, I would have known their Ube Horchata flavor would not meet my expectations.

- Frosted glass again. It continues as you approach the register, and it’s tall, making the whole thing feel like a fortress.

- Their plastic utensils were wrapped in plastic. It just seemed wasteful, especially since an employee putting a spoon in my cup for me could resolve that “extra plastic wrap” need.

- OVERALL: It missed the mark for me. Wasn’t tasty, and didn’t feel welcoming or inviting like a typical ice cream shop would. Maybe getting an ice cream in a doughnut like most people masks the flavor issues I had…
