Came to Milk Jawn in South Philly and completely understood the hype after one visit. The service was amazing from the start, they let us sample a bunch of flavors and honestly every single one was so good that it made choosing stressful in the best way possible. I ended up getting the Playoff Party flavor, which I believe is only offered when one of the Philly teams is in the playoffs, and it was basically an Oreo ice cream lover's dream. The Earl Grey Honeycomb was also SO good. You could actually taste the Earl Grey tea flavor clearly, and the honeycomb balanced it perfectly without overpowering it. One thing I really liked about their ice cream in general was the texture because it had that perfect consistency where it's firm and dense but still soft. It's definitely on the pricier side though. Our total came out to around $15-16 for two single scoops, with one being in a waffle cone. I also wanted a waffle cone on the side, so they gave my single scoop in a larger bowl instead which I thought was really considerate. However, the waffle cone is on the thicker side so it's not as crispy. That said, for the price you are getting noticeably larger scoops, so honestly I still think it's very worth it. Would definitely come back to try more flavors. read more

I wanted to love the ice cream, but I was not impressed. After trying a few flavors I came to the conclusion that the consistency was more like ice milk than ice cream. The flavor combos - tahini fudge swirl, pistachio, lemon curd with blueberry basil swirl - sounded great. Unfortunately, the excitement for me was in name only. The tahini fudge was very toasty, but the fudge didn't hold up; pistachio had crunch but lacked the nut's flavor; the lemon curd wasn't tart enough for me, nor did I get much flavor from the blueberries. If you like a less creamy ice cream you'll like the texture. I'll try a vegan option the next time. read more

Ok I was blown away. Went to Milk Jawn on one of the only warm days recently during the jazz festival off East Passyunk. Music outside, line out the door, the whole vibe was there. Small batch ice cream and you can really taste the difference. Came with a group so we got to try a bunch of flavors. I got the vegan Earl Grey with honeycomb and wow. I do not know how they keep the honeycomb so soft and melty but it was incredible. Floral from the tea, sweet and slightly chewy from the honeycomb. So good. Really appreciate that they have solid vegan options too for lactose intolerant people. Did not feel like a compromise at all. Friends got the cold brew with cacao nibs and the blueberry basil swirl. Tried both and they were amazing. The cold brew was rich and slightly bitter in a good way, with crunchy cacao nibs adding texture. The blueberry basil was super fresh tasting, sweet and herbaceous at the same time without being weird. Scoops are generous and the flavors are creative but still really well executed. Honestly just one of those places where everything hits. Already want to go back. read more

For National Ice Cream Day, they make Peanut Chew ice cream. It is amazing as it is loaded with pieces of Peanut Chews. I ordered a scoop on a waffle cone. Unfortunately, the waffle is very stale. It is so stale that it is not crispy at all, very chewy and hard to bite. Next time I will order in a cup to be safe. read more

Absolutely love the vegan mango sticky rice and earl grey with honeycomb ice cream + waffle cone from here- so creamy, delicious & not too sweet. They carry lots of unique flavors, you can also buy by the pint, the staff is friendly & service is usually quick, quite pricey though. Small shop- no indoor seating, standing only & there's a few tables outside. Worth trying out if you're in the area :) read more

Milk Jawn - LOVE their Vegan Mango Sticky Rice ice cream w/ waffle cone!! - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Our first time trying the famed Milk Jawn and we absolutely fell in love. We sampled almost every flavor on the menu because it all looked so good; ordered a scoop each of our two favorites, the Cold Brew with Cacao Nibs and the Cookie Butter (seasonal). Both were divine, but Cookie Butter took it over the edge with swirls of crumbled Biscoff cookies. Sooo creamy and cold and not too sweet, just perfect ice cream. Can't wait to come again, cute patio seating too with lots of families walking around the neighborhood. read more

I love Milk Jawn!! The ice cream is so good. The regular flavors are really good. You can sample as many flavors as you want. I like to go when they have a special flavor. The thriller ice cream for Halloween was decadent! It was dark chocolate ice cream with a raspberry ribbon. The store is a light and bright with a big picture window. The window has a bar and seats. The staff is always super nice. read more

I love to love Milk Jawn. I keep forgetting how good they are at creating new flavors. Since it is near Halloween, we stopped by. They had a couple spooky flavors such as caramel apple pie and thriller night. They also had a Phillies playoff flavor which was interesting. The caramel apple pie tasted like apples and didn't taste that artificial. The caramel apple pie ice cream also had amazing pieces of crusty goodness. The Phillies playoff is a must get (too bad the Phillies didn't make it to the World Series this year). The playoff has salted caramel swirl and chocolate crumb crunch. read more

It's great ice cream! In my trips to Milk Jawn I have had the Lemon curd blueberry basil swirl (which is currently on the menu) and the Thai tea basil swirl (which isn't on the menu anymore). Both flavors were incredibly creamy with bold & innovative flavor profiles! The service is fast and friendly and Milk Jawn will happily let you taste any of the available flavors. As someone who enjoys lemon and eats gluten free this is the first place I've found that actually has lemon ice cream that's also gluten free. Typically lemon options at others places are reserved to lemon water ice or a lemon cookie variety (which is gluten containing). Milk Jawn has seating outside which is convenient on a nice day, though I always recommend taking a stroll through the neighborhood while enjoying your ice cream! Next time at Milk Jawn maybe I'll try something a little more standard like chocolate peanut butter, but I'm sure a new creative flavor will draw my eye. read more

My family recently stopped at Milk Jawn while we were in the city for an event. We saw the amazing reviews touting the homemade ice cream, so we were pumped. The store is super cute and has all the flavors on a board, you cannot see the ice cream as it's behind the counter. I selected the chocolate peanut butter and it was delicious - the ice cream was perfect and the peanut butter plentiful. Pints can be purchased in addition to plenty of cool merch. The staff was fairly standoffish and serving us seemed like a bother. Not sure if it's because we had kids with us, but the lack of friendliness was disappointing. A few other things to note: Street Parking (limited), Outdoor Seating, Credit Card accepted. read more

Loved that all the flavors were unique! I think they are also seasonal or rotated, so it's a new experience every time. I got the Tahini Fudge Swirl, which is truly nothing I've ever tried before - I was tempted to bring a pint home with me! The staff were also very friendly and nice, so a great experience all throughout! read more

The strawberry rhubarb ice cream was incredible and everything I was hoping it'd be. Key lime pie was also very good but a full scoop was a bit much after awhile. I think if it was vanilla with a key lime swirl it would have been less overpowering. But all of this is if I really needed to find a critique. Let's be real I'd still eat both flavors again if offered to me. read more

I got the Earl Gray and honeycomb flavor after tasting their sample. Thankfully it was a chilly evening, so the line wasn't long and I got served pretty quickly. The earl grey and honeycomb flavors were perfectly balanced and you could taste them in every bite. I will be coming back for more and try other flavors. Milk Jawn is the real deal! read more

Milk Jawn - Earl grey with honeycomb. Delicious!! - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Incredibly creamy and flavorful small batch ice cream place with rotating creative flavors. This is one of the top ice cream places I've ever eaten, their ice cream is as good as it gets, very creamy, fresh and flavorful. It's a casual place with outdoor seats with warm and friendly service. I got the salted toffee crunch in their homemade waffle cones (also delicious) and my husband got the vegan mango coconut in a cone. Because I really love ice cream, I bought 3 additional pints - more of the toffee crunch, plus the tahini fudge and chocolate peanut butter. They thoughtfully offered a freeze bag for my 3 pints as I was traveling 30 min drive back home and my ice cream stayed well in tact! Thank you!! read more

Excellent! Has to be the best ice cream you'll ever have. I had a scoop of Milk and Cookies and a scoop of Malted Milk Toffee Crunch. It's so creamy, and great flavor. I will for sure be back...many times. (Excuse the photo I dug in before I remembered to take a pic) read more

Milk Jawn - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Milk Jawn is my favorite place in Philly to get ice cream. When I lived in South Philly, I used to visit their stand at the East Passyunk farmer's market and buy pints from them. So when they opened their first brick and mortar, my husband and I became regular visitors and for good reason. The ice cream is high quality and I like the consistency: creamy without being too rich. As someone who has a dairy sensitivity, I love the fact that there are so many vegan versions of the dairy version of a flavor. Especially because most ice cream shops will usually offer only one or two dairy free options and/or offer sorbets as their dairy free option. Also, Milk Jawn's dairy free ice cream is actually really good. I would argue as good as dairy ice cream. If you're debating between getting your ice cream in a cup, sugar cone, or waffle cone, I would personally go with the sugar cone. Out of all the ice cream shops, I've been to, Milk Jawn has the best sugar cone; I love the flavor and how crispy it is. Ice Cream Ordered: * worth trying - [Pistachio*]: If I ate dairy ice cream, this would be one of my favorite flavors but I just have to be content with taking one (or two) spoonfuls from my husband when he orders it. You can tell the pistachios they use are high quality and the brittle takes the flavor to the next level. Milk Jawn, please make a dairy free version of this. I'll be patiently waiting haha. - [Vegan Cinnamon Cookie Jawn*]: This is one of their winter seasonal flavors. I originally didn't like this flavor when I first tried it but it gradually grew on me. I didn't love the cookies they made for the flavor but I like the additional textural layer it added and the flavor wasn't too sweet. - [Vegan Mango Sticky Rice*]: This is my go-to flavor. I like that it really captures the essence of mango sticky rice because of the coconut base and mango puree. I think the addition of the coconut sticky rice was a nice touch as well. - [Vegan Earl Grey with Honeycomb]: I don't personally like the taste of whatever earl grey tea they use. -[Lemon Curd with Blueberry Basil Swirl*]: The flavor is bright and tart and really refreshing on a hot day. -[Vegan Caramel Apple Pie*]: This is one of their fall seasonal flavors. If you ever wanted apple pie as an ice cream, this is it. I feel like the summer version of this is the Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp flavor, which I comparatively like a little better. -[Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp*]: This is one of their summer seasonal flavors. Think strawberry ice cream 2.0. I like the slight tartness from the rhubarb. - [Vegan Matcha Strawberry*]: If this was more of a permanent flavor, this would be tied with the Vegan Mango Sticky Rice for my favorite flavor. I love almost anything matcha flavored and Milk Jawn truly honoured the matcha in this flavor. Would I go back? : In a heartbeat! I like how Milk Jawn is always coming up with new flavors, with a regularly rotating menu, but knows when to bring back customer favorites. Check their Instagram (@milkjawn) for new/returning flavor updates. And I'm so happy for them on their more recent second location in Fishtown. It attests to their success, which is well deserved. read more

I felt like a child again walking into my neighborhood ice cream parlor in the "80's". Milk Jawn has an awesome partnership with Mycopolitan for mushroom subscription pickup. As a child, getting ice cream was everything. I was not going to leave without getting some yummy, uniquely flavored vegan ice cream. Eat now or take for later Waffle tacos were being made as a walked in. Yum! Another South Philly gem. Staff is so kind. read more

Love a good ice cream spot in South Philly. They are open late til midnight (bonus!) and have lots of flavors to pick and try from. I got earl grey with honeycomb in a cup. The earl gray had a strong balanced flavor with the honeycomb, which gave a gooey texture with some crunch (could have used more crunch). The place is small though with not much seating, more of a grab and go. Will come back to try more flavors~ read more

So I would always pass this up previously because of the name, but wow was I wrong. Need to try some more of their flavors, but I'd have to say this is the best ice cream in the city. A few others are close, and there's some top tier soft serve / gelato, but this is a very strong and likely contender for #1. Earl grey honeycomb was amazing, perfect creaminess and flavor. No aftertaste or chunkiness, just phenomenal. Pistachio also was excellent. As I ate the scoops, it got better as the ice cream became a little melty outside in the heat. The inside is small but the line moves pretty quick. Definitely stop here to try their ice cream! Thanks read more

I took a bite of my ice cream from Milk Jawn and almost wept inside because it's so, so far away from where I live and I just want easy access to this incredible ice cream forever. Absolutely incredible. If you're visiting Philly (or better yet, live here), I cannot recommend Milk Jawn enough. And if you're a tourist like me who doesn't know how to pronounce Schuylkill or Passyunk without help, "jawn" means any thing (person, place or thing). No place like jawn. This jawn is hoppin'. You get the drift! There's really good ice cream in NYC/Boston and then there's Milk Jawn, in my humble opinion. The texture is intensely creamy; the flavors are super saturated; the ice cream as a whole didn't leave my mouth really sticky. I basically tried all the flavors before deciding on the mint with straciatella - I used to be the biggest hater of mint in dessert before I realized that mint is the perfect after-meal flavor. Loved the generous chunks of dark chocolate embedded throughout. The real star was the pistachio. Not only are there actual hunks of pistachio, there was just so much pistachio flavor. I've had some truly terrible fluorescent green pistachio ice creams and the one here is truly in a league of its own. I hardcore regretted not getting the pistachio. They also have to-go pints. Parking is tricky in this neighborhood but I'm talking about some seriously good ice cream and, regardless of circumstance (cars backing up behind you, snow on the ground), the ice cream here is worth the effort! read more

I've heard such great things about this place so I had to pop in to try. It was an awesome experience. There are tons of unique and tasty flavors.

I'll be back for Pistachio I was also delighted to see the amount of vegan options on the menu. read more

This is becoming my favorite new ice cream spot! They have excellent customer service, everyone is friendly and informative. They have a couple tables outside to sit and eat your ice cream that's really cool . They have rotating flavors as well as their standard. Last time I was there I had to Girl Scout cookie ice cream called Troop Leader, it was amazing. This time I tried the malted milk toffee crunch and i was not disappointed. Also brought my mom there over the weekend and she loved her milk and cookies in a waffle cone. Happy spring!!! read more

After a Halloween Haunting done in Langhorne, me and my family was on our way home to NE Philly. I came across Milk Jawn on Facebook, and decided to stop by. Yes we drove from Langhorne to South Philly just to try them out. Heads up folks, parking was horrendous. There is no parking unless you willing to park blocks away and walk. Luckily we found a spot one block away. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted. I heard about the taste test, so I had ask for a couple of spoons before ordering. I had try the Buttermilk Peach and Mango Sticky Rice. Didn't like the Buttermilk Peach as it is pretty tangy. Mango sticky rice was pretty light if you likes light flavors. Unfortunately, I want something heavier that night so I opted for the double scoop. One scoop of Earl Grey with Honeycomb and the other scoop is Malted Milk Toffee Crunch. My favorite is Earl Grey with Honeycomb. Hubby got the Chocolate Peanut Butter, which he says he can't barely taste the peanut butter, just the chocolate. My daughter got the Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, she says is a bit too tangy for her. They should have taste test it before they decided! read more

This Ben & Jerry's and 31 Flavors boy (me) is hard pressed to accept the new peeps on the block, ala: Jeni's Van Leeuwen McConnells Bobas Yeah sure Häagen-Dazs is very doable but when I "Go Ice Cream" I go Bens and 31! That is until this past Sunday here in South Phillie, my son introduced me to Milk Jawn Ice Cream. First off, the line to get served was around the block. That got my attention. Second off, the menu here is short and sweet (no pun intended). Some pretty good looking basics and the same go for the very attractive specials. I had a scoop in a waffle cone of their Tahini Fudge Swirl that was out of this world. I totally loved it! I think this brand is a local Philadelphia thing, so I enjoyed the hell out of this scoop until I come back. In the mean time, I'll stay with my oldies but goodies with Milk Jawn in my thoughts. read more

I decided to go with a seasonal flavor - key lime pie. This cream was so so good. Tart and sweet with a bunch of graham cracker crumbs. Yumm! I would def.

Picked up a pint of Earl Grey w Honeycomb at Milk Jawn a few weeks ago after sampling it as part of a Yelp Event introducing us to some of the exceptional small batch ice cream parlors around Philadelphia. The small scoop in cup was so delicious that I wanted to bring some home for the family. They sure appreciated it. The texture was again very creamy with no ice crystals. The Earl Grey Tea flavor was mild and tasted a little like lavender. The Honeycomb looked like golden syrup mixed in bands throughout, and tasted something of bittersweet honey. The effect on our tongues was complementary, as the sweet and slightly salty combined and melted in our mouths. Totally impossible to put down as we finished off the pint with direct spoon attack in minutes. Had it been a gallon, the impact would have been the same. Deliciously addictive. Gotta go back to Milk Jawn for more! read more

Have been here a few times and it's always a delicious way to end the night. They do rotate flavors and try some interesting combinations of things. This time we tried the butterscotch krimpet flavor, which was delicious and reminded me of eating plenty of these as a child. They're not shy about letting you taste-test, which is obviously a plus. And the cones are freshly made and delicious. I will say we've been here a few times when the line is out the door, so you may sometimes wait a little bit of time but it moves quickly. And this is the first time I noticed they had outdoor seating, which was nice. Easily accessible from nearby restaurants. read more
