We loved the cookie and scoop combo here ($6.50). We sampled a few flavors and settled for the brown butter toffee with the cookies and cream cookie. It was such a sweet treat and makes me super tempted to come back again for this visit! The Royal Hawaiian cookie is calling out to me! The shop was clean and nice, not much seating though. The service was pleasant while we sampled and the portions were generous. read more

Hiya B.UM.S., If you ever find yourself wandering through Downtown San Diego with a sudden craving for fresh cookies or ice cream, I have a place you simply need to check out: Milk & Cookies. We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit. read more

When you need cookie and you want better than most, Milk & Cookies is your place to order. They are large. They are freshly baked. Interesting flavors. I really enjoyed the lemon blueberry and the cookies and cream is excellent . Great staff that are efficient and helpful. The milk is excellent and they do sell out. read more

Visited milk and cookies recently and was impressed with the ice cream and cookies. They have a fairly small selection of ice cream. We asked and sampled a few and got several flavors (butter toffee, campfire, mint chip, peanut butter, and cookies and cream) they were all quite yummy! We also got a half dozen cookies (m&m rainbow, chocolate chip, two peanut butter jumbo, snickerdoodle, and toffee). Service was friendly. Would definitely come back. read more

I also got some of the milks they offer, banana, chocolate and strawberry milks. My favorite was the strawberry it was delicious! The only thing, is that the cookies are very pricey so be prepared! read more

We were so excited to come back to Milk & Cookies that we made a special 50 minute walk detour to visit. Unfortunately, this time around, a man followed us into the store. When my kids started looking at ice cream flavors, the man asked me if I could pay for a cookie and some ice cream for him. When I turned him down, he then asked me if I could buy him some milk and a cookie. After I turned him down for a second time, he then asked my wife. Finally, he asked my son. At this point, a second person behind the counter asked the man to leave. I'm ok with people asking for a handout, but it is totally not cool to repeatedly ask inside an ice cream shop and asking a minor after his parents already said no. That interaction really put a damper on things, but we eventually ordered a few scoops and a few cookies. Thought the cookies were spot on again (warm from the oven). The ice cream temperature wasn't quite right - a bit on the melted/soft side. Not quite what we were hoping for this time around. read more

Walked in on a Sunday evening and was shocked to hear they were out of regular chocolate chip cookies! I opted for the M&m cookie instead and got an ice cream sandwich with cookies and cream ice cream. My husband got a snickerdoodle cookie. The cookies were large and a good value, however I wish mine was a little softer. I had to chisel it a bit with the spoon to break off a piece to eat with my ice cream. They had a decent amount of cookie selections. The cashier was not very pleasant. They have a few small tables outside. A good spot if you're craving cookies and ice cream! read more

Stopped in on the way to a baseball game! It smells so good! We stopped on the sidewalk because of how good it smelled and had to go in. They have a fresh selection of cookies! We had a double chocolate chip and a red velvet. They are so dense and so they fill you up quickly! I'll definitely be back! read more

Milk & Cookies - Had wait for about 5 minutes and got attitude today. Just no customer service or common sense. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

This place has such heavenly sugary combos and satisfied my cravings right away. Their cookies are crispy, buttery, warm and just the right amount of sweetness and texture. I got the blueberry lemon cookie with the espresso Oreo ice cream. I also got their toffee crunch cookie which was SO GOOD. Their ice cream is also delectable and a great parking with a warm fresh cookie (they make everything fresh). If you like cookies, ice cream, milk or any combination, I'd highly recommend you try this place. The shop is clean and minimalistic but there's not a lot of seating. read more

Milk & Cookies - Toffee Crunch Lemon Blueberry (Jumbo) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

Saw this place as we were walking by downtown and decided to give it a try. We ordered a box of six cookies, with snickerdoodle being my main pick. The snickerdoodle we got in our box looked nothing like the ones on display. I've never seen a cookie so flat in my life, I swear it was just a few centimeters thick in some parts. The taste was fine but what a weird cookie. Service was fine, they were friendly and patient while we chose our flavors. However we did see them serve already baked cookies out of boxes from David's Cookies, so I don't even think they bake the cookies in house. Could explain why the cookies don't seem as fresh. There isn't much seating inside or out, only two benches inside and some tables outside. I probably wouldn't come back here, especially with downtown parking. But if you're craving a cookie and are nearby, possibly give it a try and maybe your cookie will turn out better than mine did. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Was walking my dog at Seaport village and boy was this place amazing!! Both people helping us were very welcoming and asked us to sample any flavor we wanted. It was a great experience and couldn't believe the ice cream flavors were creamy and flavorful & not too sweet. And cookies were warm and the variety of flavored milks amazing. Can't wait to come back when my family are in town. read more

What a lovely place for cookies, ice cream and... if you want it.... Milk. Cookies were $2.75 each but they also had some that were $1.45 more expensive because they were HUGE. This included cookies and cream. We got 6 for $14 and got two of the premium so came out to close to $17. Well worth it. The white choc macadamia nut was my favorite. read more

2.5 stars... Just around the block from my new place, how could we not try?!? Lots of options, lots of up charges, and not a lot of info from the staff. Asked about the cookies and got short answers like I was bothering them. Cookies were average, ice cream was good, overall overpriced, and poor staff attitudes. With Insomnia and Cookie Plug nearby, No need to come back... this joint does not make the list. read more

This has become a frequent stop for me lately, not sure if that's a good or bad thing lol. I love warm cookies and every time i have gone, i get a nice perfectly warm cookie. I have tried several cookies from here. The lemon cookie is so good and chewy, i love it, but also think it would be even better if it were a bit more tart. The toffee one which is my absolute favorite right now, as the toffee flavor is just the right amount and its not overpowering like some toffee candy bars are, which is why o normally don't eat it. I honestly didn't think i would like this one as much as i did, because im a chocolate chip girl, and i got one of those as well. Surprisingly i liked the chocolate the least. It wasn't bad it just didn't really stand out. I think maybe if it had some sea salt or dark chocolate in it that would be something special. If you are in the area, I really suggest checking this place out for their fresh baked cookies. They also have vegan if I remember correctly. They usually have quite a few options to choose from, and they serve ice cream as well. They let you sample the ice cream, and have some unique flavors. I haven't had the ice cream yet other than just a few samples, but the ones I tried were good. I do wish they opened a little bit earlier during the week, as sometimes it would be nice to grab one after lunch. I think they may have recently changed their hours. As far as parking goes, it's East Village so mostly street parking, unless you want to pay to park in the Padres stadium. read more

Out with poke and in with milk, cookies, and ice cream... that was what happened recently with the debut of this new dessert shop in the East Village two blocks north of Petco Park. Milk & Cookies is an Orange County import with this downtown location being their first in the SD market. No seating was available inside, however a few small round top tables were placed outside in front of the suite. Two self service kiosks were available to place an order, but one of them was out of operation during my visit. A display board at the service counter showed eight types of cookies that cost $2.50 each, and another six varieties that were priced $1.45 more apiece. Six kinds of milk were available for $4 (12 oz) and $7 (quart) respectively. Five of them were flavored... banana, chocolate, orange cream, root beer, and strawberry. Lastly, a dozen choices of ice cream were on display in a freezer to the left of the register. On the menu hanging behind the counter were three combos of which I chose the two cookies and milk for $8. My picks were Snickerdoodle, Toffee Crunch, and Root Beer Milk. The two cookies were removed from a temperature controlled drawer that kept them warm and placed inside individual sleeves. The Toffee Crunch was the better of the duo because of the melted toffee chips. As for the milk, it came in a sealed glass bottle that was produced by the Rosa Brothers Milk Company. The label said 'Root Beer Float Milk' which was exactly how it tasted. The root beer flavor was mild but noticeable. Without an event at the stadium, the foot traffic in this neighborhood was minimal unlike the Gaslamp Quarter. I hope the concept can succeed as there are other dessert spots in downtown that stay open later than this place. The staff was very welcoming and encouraged me to sample the ice cream which I politely declined this time. I gave a four star rating for my visit to Milk & Cookies. read more

Decent stop for ice cream and cookies. Good variety of flavors, though nothing that really stood out as memorable. The cookie was okay but I wish it had been served warmer -- would've made a big difference. Solid, just not exceptional. read more

This is a new cookie shop in our neighborhood and I was so excited to try it out! They have a variety of flavors and I got the 6-pack. The price point is actually not bad. The bigger cookies are just a little bit pricier than the smaller ones. My favorites so far are the lemon blueberry and cookies and cream! They're served warm and chewy in the middle. They also have ice cream and milk available in-store which I have yet to try. Giving it a high 4.5 just because I prefer chunkier cookies but we'll definitely be back. *note: they are also open til 11 pm which is rare for our neighborhood! So very impressive and might come in handy if you're craving a late-night sweet treat. read more

Great experience at Milk & Cookies. The store was clean and had a nice design, though it's worth noting that there isn't much indoor seating and the outdoor seating was not very clean when we visited. The cashier was really friendly and patient while we decided what to order. The cookie selection was great. About a dozen different flavors to choose from and all looked very good. I chose salted caramel, chocolate chip, and cookies and cream. All of the cookies were chewy, warm, and soft. I also got my son cookies n' cream ice cream, and he loved it. read more

Such a great place for satisfying your sweet tooth! The place sells both cookies (which are highly addicting) and ice creams. Their jumbo Oreo cookie just hit the spot. Real sweet with the crunchy edges and gooey center. The ice cream tasted nice on a cool night. The staff were very helpful and the place looked bright and smelled delicious. read more

CEEEEE IS FOR COOKIE!!! This place is a dream come true for a cookie monster like me!! What more could I ask for fresh hot out of the oven cookies and colorfully flavors of Milk, and ice cream oooo the Ice cream to go with my cookies and milk. This place was made for me. So since majority of the cookies are good with a very few that are underwhelming let's rank my top five #1 Cookies and Cream Cookie( GREATEST COOKIE OF ALL TIME) they did it they took my favorite ice cream and made a cookie out of it, it's heaven that's all I can say #2 Toffee Crunch Cookie (BEINGS TEARS OF JOY) the only way to explain it is it's everything you need in a cookie. #3 Lemon Blueberry ( GENIUS) whose idea was it to take a blueberry lemon muffin and smash it into a cookie!!! Give this person a Noble piece prize! #4 Royal Hawaiian (AKA THE ULTIMATE GIRL SCOUT) this cookie had to have been made by a 80yr old girls scout vet who said to her self, I can do better! #5 Triple Chocolate (The Classic Done right) come on this should be called quadruple chocolate. Nuff said try it for your self(with banana milk) The Snickerdoodle (The 6th Man of the year) a humble cookie.... A cookie you can take home to meet your mother!! Haha We Love Milk and Cookies read more

Her welcoming energy, beautiful smile, and superb customer service completely stood out.

I ordered a few cookies here on a weekend evening. I got the salted caramel, peanut butter chocolate and the cowboy. The cowboy cookie was my absolute favorite of the bunch. It had oatmeal, chocolate and walnuts. I chugged it down with a glass of milk (which they sell in varieties but I didn't purchase there) and it was so good. It's nice to have a sweet treat place close by. I think these cookies are decent and if I was coming home from a long night of partying and wanted to round out the night with something sweet I'd come here. Service is whatever, my original order was two cowboys and two salted..the math wasn't mathing. The crew was ready to go home I think and that's valid but you never know who is going to Yelp ya. Despite the wrong order, I'll be back. read more

Late night cookie run to start off our vacation and the employee was very rude. We bought 12 cookies and 4 milks. And spent a decent amount of money. 2 cookies were super tiny compared to the others. Not impressed with the service. And they were not busy at 10:30pm. read more

Consider this your warning: once you try these cookies, regular cookies won't cut it anymore. And I say that as someone who genuinely doesn't have a sweet tooth. I've added these on to my Postmates order four separate times now, and every single time they deliver. The classics like chocolate chip, white macadamia, and snickerdoodle are done exceptionally well. I find myself eating them slowly just to make them last, which says a lot. These aren't just good cookies. They're those cookies. read more

Toffee crunch cookie is top 3 cookies I've ever had in my entire life.

I tried a couple of ice cream samples and they were nothing special. Parking is tricky so I'll only return if I'm already nearby! read more

Walked in one Saturday night and was so excited for cookies since I absolutely love cookies. This place was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. For a cookie spot they sure did have a lot of items to choose from. From cookies to flavors of milk and ice cream. The price of the cookies were pretty decent especially because they were so big. I ordered the six pack and was excited that my cookies were warm and fresh. I can't wait to come back and try the other flavors of the cookies. Thank you Milk & Cookies for the hospitality and tasty cookies. read more
