    Cookies n Cream popsicle drizzled with white chocolate, sprinkles, and vanilla wafers
    Jacqueline F.

    If you love ice cream and popsicles then you've got to check out Milk And Wood. For $5 you get to: 1. Choose your popsicle flavor - ube, cookies n cream, peach, etc 2. Choose your drizzle - white/dark/milk chocolate, condensed milk 3. Choose your toppings - sprinkles, nuts, crushed oreos, etc Took my parents to the Crab Pad for dinner today and Milk and Wood is located inside the Crab Pad. I was a little dissapointed in the lack of popsicle flavors that were available during my visit - there were only 4 to choose from. I have been wanting to try this place for the longest time and wanted to make the best of my visit. Good thing they had the ube (taro) flavor and the cookies n cream. Those 2 flavors were so rich and creamy that it surprised me at how delicious a popsicle can be!! The drizzle and toppings coupled with the creaminess of the popsicle blew my mind. It was so yummy! The popsicle tasted like ice cream on a stick. Not the usual waterbased popsicles that we are normally used to. My dad got the peach flavored popsicle which i didnt care for too much, but he seemed to like it. It was a little too sour for a popsicle flavor for me based off of the little bite that I took. I would have loved to give them 5 stars today based off of the flavor of the 2 popsicles that I had alone. I took off a star because i wanted the other awesome flavors that I've been reading about to have been available too. From reading the other reviews, I can't wait to come back and try the other flavors such as the green tea/matcha. I am an ice cream person and i foresee myself coming back here in the future. Until we meet again Milk and Wood!

    Thai tea popsicle with dark chocolate and sprinkles

    A fun dessert bar located in the Crab Pad! These popsicles are completely customizable. You get to pick which flavor, what chocolate drizzle or dip you want, and any of the toppings. This is all included in the price, no extra fees. When I went we had a Groupon. Even better! The flavors change often so don't be expecting to get the same thing every time. They have some classic flavors and other unique flavors like Cereal Milk or Thai Tea. I personally like the unique flavors! Also don't be afraid to ask the staff what chocolate and toppings go well with the popsicle. They have great suggestions and are friendly. It's worth a trip, even if you want to just grab a popsicle and not eat at the Crab Pad. BUUUT I would highly suggest eating at the Crab Pad first!!

    Not sure if this was a popup shop inside Crab Pad or what but it definitely swayed me to pick Crab Pad over a competitor! I was googley-eyes when I saw the Popsicles! Some flavors were classics while others were more unique. Step 1: pick your popsicle flavor Step 2: pick your drizzle or dip: white, milk, or dark chocolate Step 3: pick any of the toppings (unlimited choices included in the price) We ended up getting the green tea kitkat with milk chocolate and condense milk drizzle and peanuts as well as the vietnamese coffee with dark chocolate drizzle and cookie and graham cracker crumbs. I almost go the mango strawberry one but couldn't picture what drizzle or topping would go well with it. I believe popsicles are $5 each with unlimited toppings. We also got a coupon for BOGO, which I let my friend keep. I admit it was a little overrated but yolo lol gotta try everything once...

    This is definitely a good choice for a cheat day! After my third visit, I noticed that their ice cream bar flavors change often. Which is good because this will have you coming back for something different. And the flavors are unique - ube, tiramisu, green tea kit kat, chai tea, etc. Their melted chocolate offerings are good - white and milk chocolate. You can drape your ice cream and have them cascade their toppings which are off the charts - coconut, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, peanuts, etc. It's unlimited so you can ask for a wild combo. I do want to say that the person preparing your customized dessert will determine if it'll be over the top or just mediocre. On my first two visits - the desserts were a work of art. On my last visit, I felt like she was trying to save on ingredients. I guess I should have just requested more toppings - so that's what I'll do on my next visit.

    Smores popsicle!!!
    Sarah S.

    GELATO POPSICLES! Deep within the depths of The Crab Pad (not really, it's right up front), lies a mysterious and wondrous side shop (again, not really, it's all pretty well explained and laid out), ran by curious creatures (i lie, they are lovely, friendly and informative people) and full of delicious treats (now that part is finally true). A friend had told me about Milk and Wood plus it's walkable from home, so when I saw a Groupon pop up for them, I jumped on it. My friend and I dined at The Crab Pad first because really, how can you not when they share the same space, then made our way to the Milk and Wood counter. The lady working there was so friendly and so excited to tell us about a new kid on the block - the Smores Pop. She was so psyched about it, that it rubbed off on me and I ordered one straight away. She was really excited when I ordered it and got to work! Adding all of the toppings on their milk bars is definitely a process and took some time. Layer after layer was put on top, drizzling some of this, spreading some of that, fireblowing (yes, they scorched part of mine) a little of this - it was intense. But in the end, I came out with a really delicious, monstrous dessert. Now my gelato pop was incredibly good with all the cray toppings but I have a feeling even without anything you'd be happy. They had some really cool flavors of gelato pops like my Smores flavor, Vietnamese Coffee, Green tea, and a bunch more. The Smores pop I got had preset toppings and she would ask every step of the way if I wanted this or that and I said HECK YEA to everything. However, you can decide all your own toppings if you like, as well. Now the base price of $5 may seem pricey to some but you can add as many toppings as you like for that price. And if you can snag a deal like I did, you're way ahead of the game! I would absolutely go to Milk and Wood again to try more of their tasty treats.

    Pandan Pop

    Beat the heat with this yummy popsicle. It was a little on the sweeter side since I asked for condensed milk and coconut shreds over the already covered in white chocolate bar. I enjoyed the flavors of the bar and will be back for the Ube pop next time!

    Ube with coconut and graham crackers

    A small stand within The Crab Pad, came here because it looked Morelia-adjacent, and it is a pretty good facsimile, not quite as amazing, but yummy. And the price is right, only $5 for a custom popsicle, with the spooned on sauce of your choice (dark, milk or white chocolate) and any toppings you want. The server helping us was really nice and put a healthy amount of toppings on top. I got Ube with dark chocolate and coconut and graham crackers and they also sprinkle on some condensed milk syrup. It's very sweet and fun. E got Cookie Monster with chocolate sprinkles and vanilla wafers (and dark chocolate and condensed milk). Her's was good too. Neither of them had the top tier tastes, but again, it's fun, yummy and reasonably priced! The consistency was a little icy, so could be better, but I'd go here again for the unique flavor and customization options.

    Pandan- white/milk chocolate, coconut, fruity pebbles and condensed milk. Ube - white chocolate, sprinkles, and graham crackers.

    Wanted to check this place out because of all the good reviews I've read and the yummy looking pictures of their ice creams. First off, the ice cream stand is located in The Crab Pad. I went on a Tuesday around 5pm and I was sad to see the small selection of flavors they had available. I tried the buko pandan and my boyfriend had the Ube (purple yam) flavor. I like how you are able to add as many toppings as you would like. It seemed like they lacked toppings or ran out of it, despite them just opening for the day which I found disappointing, but maybe I just went on a bad day. The ice cream was SO GOOD. Perfect on a hot day. Would like to come back to try other flavors but so far pandan is my favorite.

    Matcha kit Kat with coconut flakes, and milk chocolate & condensed milk drizzle, fo shizzle!
    Sabrina R.

    Milk and Wood is located inside the Crab Pad restaurant. It's a nice sweet addition after indulging in seafood, but patrons are welcome to puchase ice cream, even if they are not eating at the Crab Pad. I had the match kit kat bar with milk chocolate and condensed milk drizzle, and topped with coconut. Soooooo good! I love the flavor of the bar, and it had a big kit kat chunk in it. It would have been great by itself, but the drizzle and toppings just added to it without overdoing it.

    These were so delicious and you get unlimited toppings. I loved the ube one that I got. It was the best part of the meal. One of the people I was with got marshmallow and they even toast it for you.

    I bought this deal on Groupon a few months ago. Today was my last day to take full advantage of this deal. Since the weather was beautiful. I decide to treat myself and son to a nice cold dessert. I was just a tad bit worried that my gelanto popsicle would taste like seafood. Milk and Woods is locate right inside Crab Pads. I'm not a seafood eater so I was hoping that I wasn't going to break out in hives. Once We made it inside and saw the yummy display of all flavored pops. My worries went right out the door. I mean they have so many flavors to chose from and the toppings are unlimited for $5.00. My deal was 2 popsicle with unlimited toppings for $5.00. What a steal The young girl behind the counter was very attentive and helpful when you asked her a question. She explained that each day there are many other flavors to pick from the cooler display. I mean the display alone caught my eye. We both decide to get the oreo with chocolate drizzle on top with butterfinger crushed on top. I took one bite and fell in love. It was delicious. I'm a very picky person so when I tell you this dessert hit a home run in my tummy. The location is cool with plenty of street meter parking. It's a nice place to bring your kids for a nice treat. Or just an after brunch treat with your friends. The price is well worth it & you can't beat unlimited toppings. I tried to go back on Groupon to purchase anotjer deal. But it is no longer on the site. Which is cool because Milk & Wood is still worth the money. I will make sure to come back and try the other flavors A

    Unexpected little ice cream shop in Crab Pad! Unique flavors like Ube and Green Tea KitKat - as well as the classics like Cookies and Cream and Strawberry. The pops come with unlimited toppings ranging from graham cracker crumbs to fruit pebbles! The quantity is pretty generous and decorated quite prettily. You also get $2 for a yelp check in! This really hit the spot for a quick sweet treat after dinner that Logan Square is sorely missing. We will be back!

    Previously melty and refrozen sugar pops with underwhelming toppings. Not worth the hype.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the selection, and the freshness of the donuts left something to be desired. The presentation also took away from the experience. Seeing donuts sitting exposed in boxes where customers can easily view them isn't particularly appealing and doesn't create the freshest visual impression. I tried the maple pecan glazed donut, which was overwhelmingly sweet. Even after just one bite, the intense sugar rush was immediate and overpowering, making it difficult to enjoy the other flavors. The vanilla donut was the better of the two--pleasantly doughy, though it still lacked the freshness I was hoping for. Overall, this was an average experience. The donuts were serviceable, but neither the selection, presentation, nor freshness gave me much reason to return.
