I'll start off by saying yes, this does taste just as good as it looks. I'm so glad I gave this place a shot. It was super eye catching and looked like a very unique take on ice cream. Their flavors and pastries are all hand crafted from what I could tell and it shows because they taste amazing. Everything I had was absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be coming back. When we went, there was only one person working so be prepared to wait but I promise that it's worth it. I will say next time I'll probably go with a regular scoop because I feel like I got less ice cream than my girlfriend who didn't get the bun. The bun however, was very flavorful and wasn't too thick, which I appreciated. Also if you get a bun, it does melt and get messy which is to be expected so be prepared for that. Overall, absolutely love this place and would highly suggest to any ice cream enjoyer.

I came across this place on Instagram and it deserves all the hype. We got 2 milkbomb sandwiches and they were delicious! They melt in your mouth and are super flavorful. We tried the manila mango and the biscoff/cookies & cream flavors and they were so good! The Manila mango was perfectly sweet and the Biscoff/cookies and cream was fantastic as well. The worker was so nice and accommodating to us as well as provided us with a "new customer" and "local" discount :) I would definitely come here again!

This place is, in fact, the bomb. Had the concha sandwich with ube and oolong brown sugar Boba, and it was absolute fire. Will be going back and totally worth waiting in line for.

I've had many ice cream donut sandwiches in the past but man this place does it like no other. I may be biased but the ube pandesal is soooo fire. One of my favorite dessert spots in the Bay Area by far!

I'm just here to give the biggest shout out to the one man show! Not just impressive to deal with such a crowd by yourself and keep a smile and hold a conversation every single time. That's tough enough. But to also show off with the flavors, and such good ice cream is a whole other talent. Great ice cream, (my sphynx loves it too haha)great humans. I ran into this shop walking around the new neighborhood fresh moved into the city. Now all the homies that come through, have to try it here. Not one has been disappointed, keep the great work going yall, yall are appreciated more than you know Thank you guys for giving up some of your precious time with your loved ones, so we can have a sweet one with ours. May god bless you till the end of time.

Love the ice cream. All the service is cool when they're open. However, would it be too much to ask for more consistency when it comes to the hours of operation? They randomly close or push the opening time until they choose to open haha I would've been spent a lot more money there than I have already haha

So delicious and friendly staff. Lots of unique flavors and diversity. Well worth any wait if there is one. Can also conveniently order pints online. Highly recommend

I have been coming to milkbomb since moving to Potrero hill 3 years ago. They are a staple in the neighborhood and have some of the BEST ice cream! There can be a long line but the wait is SO worth it. Even on rainy days, I can't wait to grab a scoop of their aqua dreams ice cream. The team at milkbomb are so incredibly kind and care so much for the community. Love this place so much!
This ice cream shop is ridiculous how the hell are you supposed to support a local small business if there's one person to 6,000 people in line Mitchell's I've cream at least has been around for 100 years hire more people to help the poor one man team serve ice cream I was in line for 45 minutes

I scream, you scream, we all scream because my ice cream was on fire. And it was awesome. Milkbomb is an appropriate name for this place and I'm not even sure why. You aren't going to find a more unique dessert experience. We are talking customized ice cream sandwiches between donuts, ube buns, topped with a bunch of drizzles and toppings and even a flaming marshmallow. If you think you are a special person then you deserve this incredibly special treat. Don't let me ruin this with words. Hurry up and go wait in line and Milkbomb yourself to death. (4.7 Stars)

Absolutely delicious and creative flavours, had the ube pandesal sandwich with horchata and latik, torched with marshmallow fluff. Came during a rainy day and the service immediately warmed us up. Honestly I’ve been thinking about my milkbomb experience to this day and I’m already planning my next visit. Definitely treat yourself and say hi to Mike while you’re there!

This was one of my "must eat" places during my visit to the area. We came on a Saturday night, and even though it was rainy and cold there was still a line which speaks volumes. I love the Asian-inspired flavors and its unique take on the traditional ice cream sandwich. Because it was my first time here, I opted for the sandwich w ube pandesal. For the sandwich you get two flavors, which I really appreciated because all the flavors sounded delicious. The owner was so kind and was able to help is decide which flavors to get. My husband loves ube so we got the ube s'mores, which also happened to be the weekly flavor. We ended up pairing it with the Milo flavor. It was fantastic! The pandesal was the perfect texture paired with the ice cream. I loved the deep purple color of the pandesal. I think next time I would stick with just the ice cream because the sandwich can be a little bit heavy (but too much dessert is never a bad thing, right?) We will definitely be stopping by again the next time we're in the area. I can't wait to see what the weekly flavor is!

Hands down best ice cream in the city!!! Better than Humphrey's in my personal opinion. This shop is a family run business and they know what the crowd wants. They have over 20 unique flavors and are continuously bringing new flavors throughout the year. You can choose a cup, cone or a donut (ice cream sandwich). Love the whole concept and the owners are great! It's a one man show, but definitely worth the wait. If you're looking for a sweet treat, run don't walk to this treasure in the city!
