“Milk + Sugar on Shepherd is a great little ice cream shop with a fun selection of flavors that are a little different from what you’d find at your typical ice cream shop. Instead of the usual vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry lineup, they have flavors like Cereal Milk, Butter Pecan Streusel, Ube, Thai Tea, Up All Night, and plenty of other interesting combinations. I had the Butter Pecan Streusel, which was very good, and we also tried the Cereal Milk. Overall, the ice cream is consistently good, and it’s a fun place to try something new. The staff is friendly and happy to let you sample different flavors before making a decision, which is especially nice considering how unusual some of their options are. The shop itself is clean, nicely decorated, and has a fun mural featuring the Heights, the Heights Trail, and other local landmarks. There’s a decent amount of indoor seating and a few tables outside, although being right on busy Shepherd Drive, the outdoor seating isn’t particularly appealing. Parking is easy and convenient, which is always a plus in the Heights. Overall, Milk + Sugar is a solid neighborhood ice cream shop with creative flavors, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area and looking for something a little different from your typical ice cream shop!”
