This little guy was so soft and pure. The soft serve was creamy and milky. Not vanilla flavored. Legit tastes like the freshest milk shipped direct from pasture then made directly into soft serve. The actual sweetness came from the honey and honey comb. If you like that milk taste and you're a fan of soft serve then you and I would be best friends haha come with me next time? Surprisingly this doesn't melt super fast which I loved. But it is a little expensive for how lil it is so there's that read more

With such a cute name and delicious looking ice cream, we decided to check this place out before the weather started getting too cold. The ice cream is quite smooth and creamy. We ordered: *Tiramisu: actually tastes similar to tiramisu! Out of the two, this is def the fave of my group. Would recommend to try. - 4/5 *Black Pearl: compared to the tiramisu, this felt very ordinary. For the price, I don't think it was worth it, especially since the cup was small and wasn't filled in the middle. I didn't really taste much of the sea salt and the flavour was mostly overwhelmed with the hazelnut syrup which was a bit too sweet for me. - 2/5 read more

Love this novelty ice cream place in Richmond. We tried the snow cloud combo and it was soooo cute! Who wouldn't love yummy ice cream with fresh mango combined with a waffle and topped with a blue cotton candy as the cloud!!! It was super adorable. read more

My friend and I came here for dessert after lunch, as we had heard great things about it from another friend. The space itself is super trendy, featuring a lot of industrial open-concept modern decor as many cafes and shops do nowadays. The service was kind and quick. My friend ordered the Black Pearl, and I ordered the Milky Cube. The ice cream was creamy, cold, and honestly, really delicious and refreshing. The Black Pearl was a tad too sweet for me, but I enjoyed mine a lot. In my opinion, the quality and texture of the ice cream wins over Soft Peak's - which I find a little too creamy and not cold enough/as refreshing (though if you love a creamy ice cream, you may prefer that). We also tried their cold oolong teas (no sugar), and they're SUPER refreshing. Bitter, strong tea really hits the spot on a sweltering afternoon! We found these to be on the pricey side though, for cold tea. In general, you are paying for the quality, but I think the price vs. size of what you get puts this place on the pricier side (not a criticism, just something to consider). read more

I came here after dinner in Richmond. The cafe is pretty spacious and can seat about 20 people. They have about 12 different organic soft serve options and 2 seasonal flavours as well. We decided on the Tiramisu soft serve but we didn't know that it didn't come with a full swirl of ice cream on top. It did have a layer of mascarpone cheese and lady fingers soaked in espresso on the bottom. They told us the Ube souffle pancakes would take 30 minutes to make which was a bit long but luckily we had time to wait. The pancakes were soft, fluffy and jiggly just like the ones I had tried in Japan. The ube cream was mild in flavour and not too sweet. It also came with a side of ice cream. The ice cream didn't melt too fast which is a plus for me. This was a nice spot to hang out for dessert. read more

Their original "Milky Way" soft serve ice cream is one of my favourites! Such milkiness. So creamy. Much wow. If you want to try their soufflé pancake as well (which, i think you most definitely should) then order the soufflé pancake and it comes with the Milky Way ice cream! I've only tried the original flavour soufflé pancake, which comes with blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream on top. It is, so far, one of the better soufflé pancakes in Vancouver. Don't come here on an empty stomach though, because these fluffy pancakes take 30min to cook. 10CAD read more

Visited: Apr 10 2019 Yum yum yum.... I heard that they have ube soft serve and I finally got a chance to try it. The ube flavour is spot on, not too sweet, exactly how I feel ube ice cream should taste like. The ice cream was smooth and it wasn't heavily churned or heavy tasting; it was nice and light. For $5 I think it was acceptable given the amount of ice cream I got - easily shared with my partner. I saw a sign that they have soufflé type pancakes and I was super tempted to order. The price tag of almost $12 and the time it takes to prepare (25 minutes) steered me away from the extra calories, thank goodness. The last time I was here I tried their chocolate hazelnut sundae/ soft serve (Black Pearl) and that was very nice too. It wasn't particularly memorable and I remembered the price tag was around $7. I didn't think it was worth it. Definitely will come back for some more ube-goodness. Ordered: Straight up ube soft serve - $5 (tax in) read more

After a long night out, a really nice serving of ice cream would be the perfect closing to a night out. Milkcow is definitely a nice place to try out and get a really pretty looking serving of ice cream. That said, there's an obvious problem if the highlight is the aesthetic. It's a really nice place that Milkcow has created for customers to enter and feel at home. Nice tables and comfy chairs make you want to stay which is a huge plus. Walls are nice and easy on the eyes meaning you can focus on creating the perfect shot for your serving of ice cream. There's actually a fair variety of flavours to choose from. There was a special watermelon flavour available which literally comes with a slice of watermelon. On the regular menu, the mango, affogato, and green light sounded super appealing. Decided however to go big and choose the pricey Santorini option which came with vanilla ice cream, oreo crumbles, tropical blue syrup, pistachio crumble, and cotton candy. Coming in at under $7, it definitely seemed like a fun choice to have. It's definitely an Instagram worthy moment to show off and share with others. There's been a lot of effort and care to make your ice cream dish appear stunning to others. All that being said, the stunning look is definitely the highlight which creates a problem. It wasn't a great ice cream and the extras definitely didn't help make it any better. Just from the look of it it seems so impractical to eat after taking photos. I didn't know if I was suppose to use the cotton candy with the ice cream or eat it alone. The tropical blue syrup and the pistachio crumble barely registered at all on my taste buds. I even totally forgot there was oreo crumbles in it until I got to the very bottom. Most disappointing, the vanilla ice cream itself wasn't very special. Heck, it felt like I was having ice cream from McDonald's and that was a huge letdown. Even then, it didn't even feel like it was the best serving of McDonald's ice cream I ever had. If you're gonna pay almost $7 for a cup of ice cream, one would hope that everything in it would mesh together well or that the ice cream itself is delightful. Maybe this issue is less pronounced in the lesser options but if your top option isn't good, I think that speaks to a greater issue around your product. At the end of the day, Milkcow is a fantastic spot for Instagram photos and showing off a special treat you have once in a while. There's definitely value in feeling like you've gotten something special. On the other hand, if you're looking for something tasty then I'm not quite sure I can recommend Milkcow wholeheartedly. I partially think you should just go to a McDonald's and offer to pay them extra if they give you a little of everything and still probably end up saving a dollar. I would recommend giving Milkcow a shot only if you have the time and would like to treat yourself. Hopefully some improvements can be made to the ice cream in future and rectify possibly the biggest issue. read more

The place is small but a few tables and two washrooms. The female washroom smells odd and not in a good way at all. The store itself is fairly clean and staffs aren't too friendly, but they are still polite. A further walk from bus stops so best if you drive or live around the area. Parking lot beside it. The ice cream is good, my favourite is milky honey even though it's quite simple. My friends like Santorini and the other sweeter options with more toppings. Those are on the sweeter side for me and I'm not too big of a fan for those flavours. The cotton candy is fun and in general it's good but a bit overpriced and not a place I'd travel all the way for unless I happen to be around the area. read more

Great location, mediocre ice cream for an high price. The soft serve ice cream here was not as good as we hoped. It tasted like frozen carton milk without any extra flavour to it in a small plastic cup. I had the "Macao dream" - a macaron with almonds. I picked the Pistachio macaron to go with my dessert and it was pretty good. My sister got the "Affogato" and the espresso gave the ice cream a great kick. My friend ordered "Black Pearl" with hazelnut syrup, sea salt, and a coco ball topping. There was so much potential in this one as well but the extra toppings just covers up the plain base. With so many options in the lower mainland for amazing dessert, you really have to hit it out of the park. Milkcow cafe just doesn't make the cut. read more

Finally got to try this dessert place! Glad I went! Soufflé Pancake with Milky Way Ice Cream ($10+tax) was sooooooo delicious! The pancake itself was fluffy and has the "eggy" taste!!! Unlike the ones I tried in HK in the beginning of the year!!! I enjoyed it a lot! FYI: it may take 20-30mins for them to make, so if you are in a time crunch, just beware! Milky Way Ice cream was milky alright! It was delicious! Rich milky flavour is what I love in my ice creams! Overall, I can't believe took me so long to try this place out!!! Highly recommend their soufflé pancake!!! And highly recommend this place for dessert hang out! Great service as well! Will come back again! read more

Came here after dinner at Copa Cafe on a Monday night and it was nice and quiet. We ordered the Milk Cube (organic milk soft serve, honey, and honeycomb), which came to $6.70 after tax. The price isn't too shabby considering the ingredients. It's quite good! The soft serve tastes like just regular milk, no added sugar or anything. It was super nice with the honey. The honeycomb was chewy and sweet. They also have water for self service. The decor is modern and the place is well kept and clean. Note that they only take cash and debit. Pro tip: you can ask for more honey if the middle of your soft serve is naked! read more

finally had the chance to have dessert here and was very satisfied! what stands out here is the soft serve isnt overly sweet. i really enjoyed it without the guilt feel. the soft serve is frozen enough to maintain its shape when served and not melt all over the place. its cold enough to hold the toppings and exta trimmings. tried oreo, ube, and the black pearl with maltesers at the bottom. the oreo one hd generous sprinkles of oreo bits a a piece of orea. flavours were all there and square. the ube one was a bit mild. flavours were not as strong or robust for my palette. i do come from a place that serves real ube dessert so wasnt up to par. the black pearl was a better version of the mcdonalds choco sundae. nice drizzle of choco syrup paired up with maltesers candy for that extra crunch and texture. when eaten with the soft serve, it was heavenly. so many other flavours that i wanna try and i cant wait to go back. the honeycomb for one is highly recommended. the place is quite small and seating can be a challenge. but hey, id be back for sure. cheers! happy eating! read more

There is something to be said for a limited menu. This means they specialize in something and it's likely something quite good. Don'tcha think? Yeah, and I never realized that when it came to Korean soft cones or soft cream, they would specialize in that. Lo an behold, the Milkcow Cafe from Korea (I think). Located in the same building as the Fitness World in Richmond, near the Olympic Oval, this place is cavernous for such a small place. The modern hip establishment with giant mural/map of where all the other Milkcow Cafe locations located around the world add to the big big big effect that this isn't just your ordinary place to get your limited variety of freshly made Ice milk. The basic version is vanilla and as plain as that may sound, it is quite tasty in it's "vanilla" way. First thing we did was compare compare compare. To what you might ask of me? Wellllllll....others say it's similar to Affogato or Milk Club, but I made the comparison to, dare I say it....McDonalds and Dairy Queen. "NO!!! You didn't!" said the Asian Millennial in her Fashionista and Stella McCartney bib and oversized Prada sunglasses. "OMG" said the Hipster swimming in her oversized overalls and plaid and sandals with braided hair. "Yes. I did!" and it was glorious. This was a good comparison. I think it really was. Now before you all go "churchie" on me, let me say why. To me, from my ancient background and lack of Asian culture and understanding since I am coming from a perspective as a Canadian, born and bred. I was brought up on comfort food and ice cream. This dates me all the way back to the "Big Scoop" and the TEXAS Ice creams from Vancouver's 70's. The simple plain vanilla had me thinking about what it was like in those days. The familiarity yet the totally newness of it all was an experience that brought me to my childhood. OK Am I getting lost here? Let's just say, that with all the other dishes, they really kick it up a few notches from my basic favourite. Different from the McD and DQ flavourings and good. But for moi? I guess I'm too far stuck into the past and can't look beyond to letting my tastebuds grow any further. Maybe it's because I'm just too old and the little kid inside has kinda lost her way. I am giving them 4 stars for the plain Jane vanilla and that's all I need to satisfy my memory. Sorry another lacklustre review where I got lost. But yeah, it's worth a try. read more

This place is nicely decorated with nice music as backdrop ambiance. The location itself is by T&T and residential area - nice quiet neighbourhood. Onto the main course, the soft serve itself. It's good... feels like you're eating really good quality milk (if that makes sense at all). We tried the regular so can't comment on the toppings. I would say that their soft serve is marginally better than soft peak. The original doesn't have any condiments like crackers or vector like soft peak. Ultimately, is this place good enough to make me drive all the way richmond? probably not. read more

Milkcow Cafe is a cute Korean dessert shop that sells organic milk soft serve, drinks, and macarons. I came with a group of four to try one of the last dessert places on my list when in Vancouver before heading back to NYC later in the day. We got the Tiramisu ($6.50+tax CAD), Watermelon Soft Serve ($7.50+tax CAD), Santorini ($6.50+tax CAD), and Mango Tree ($6.50+tax CAD), which were presented really nicely. It was insta-worthy. I had the Tiramisu and it was pretty small for its price, but it was tasty. There was a strong espresso flavor. The soft serve was smooth, milky, and soft to my liking. The service, here, was friendly and welcoming. This was a great place for hangouts and I would be back when I'm in the area to try the Milky Cube and the Ube Souffle Pancakes. read more

My cone was hollow and was not milky. Expensive and disappointing. I visited here when it first opened was much better before.

With the weather being super hot recently, ice cream was the perfect alternative to cool myself down. A friend and I came to Milkcow Cafe around 4:00 PM. There is a parkade entrance next to it and you get free parking for 90 minutes. However, coming back up was a little confusing, we ended up walking around two corners before arriving at the shop. The shop is simple with a handful of tables but it was very clean and modern. We were going along with the hype and ordered the Watermelon soft serve ($7.50), as well as the Cookies n Cream soft serve ($5.50). We did not wait long at all before our desserts were ready. The watermelon soft serve was much bigger than I expected. The amount of soft serve was very generous. The soft serve itself had a strong watermelon flavour and it was just refreshing. It was the truly the perfect dessert for summer. The watermelon itself was very juicy and sweet. However, I wasn't a fan of the chocolate chips along the side of the watermelon which were supposed to be the "seeds". I must say though, that it was very clever of them to come up with this idea. I strongly recommend this dessert if you are craving for something that will refresh you from the inside out. The cookies n cream soft serve had a strong milk flavour, it felt like I was drinking milk except in a more solid form. Personally, I do not like drinking milk in general, but for some reason I didn't mind the flavour when it was a soft serve. Nonetheless, all it was was a regular soft serve with crumbled oreo's, and a whole oreo on the side for decoration. The soft serve itself wasn't the smoothest I had, compared to other shops. Unfortunately, there is only one size for their soft serve but it was filled up to double the height of the cup itself. For $5.50...it could be justified. read more

We tried Milkcow's dirty boba souffle pancakes and natural milk ice cream a couple months ago. It was around 2pm when we went, and we were the only ones in the shop. Service was friendly but very slow as we waited about 20 minutes for the dessert. We enjoyed the pancakes as they were fluffy and soft and not too sweet. The boba was a nice texture. The ice cream flavour was subtle and if you like sweets that are not top sweet, you might like this. I found it lacked a bit of flavour so would recommend adding more syrup to it! read more

The idea is right but not so much the price. My friend and I decided to check this place out as we've seen them before in Korea. After examining the menu, the tiramisu flavour caught our attention. My friend really wanted to try the honey comb so we ordered tiramisu with additional honey comb. We should have expected what we were going to get based on the photo. Instead of the beautiful swirls, we only got a dental cup size worth of ice cream with some tiramisu features like cocoa powder on top and lady fingers at the bottom. Where were our swirls? Did we trade out half out ice cream for some sponge cake soaked in coffee? But again, we saw the pictures, we should have expected it. But paying $8 ($2 extra for the honey comb) for that much ice cream? It's a little ridiculous. The soft serve itself was alright. Tasted like ... plain ol' milk. Again, what were we expecting. The "lady fingers", however, were so soggy that my gag reflect almost rejected it. But this maybe because I generally don't like mushy foods. Idk, not the greatest attempt at tiramisu. (Tira-missing some swirls) Overall, my experience wasn't a great one. Maybe I will give another flavour a try. But for now, I'll just buy some honey comb and stick that with my Mcdonald's ice cream. read more

We come to Milkcow whenever we have a chance to be at Richmond. I first had a milkcow soft serve in Seoul and was excited they are somewhat nearby. We always order the Oreo and tiramisu and they never disappoint. The ice cream is rich and creamy, never sweet tasting. I can tell they use quality ingredients. The tiramisu ice cream tastes like you are eating a tiramisu cake but with the heavenly ice cream. On our last trip, we ate here twice a day. And on our last day my husband tried the honeycomb and he raves about it. I find myself missing them quite a bit. They only take cash or debit card, fyi. read more

Loved the milky texture of this place. The ice cream is unique, with cotton candy options on top of your soft serve. The flavour was delicious. I've never been able to taste such a milky flavour in other soft serve places. The restaurant is spacious and can get busy at times but it's quite enough to study or socialize with friends. Wifi works well and is very fast and reliable. Parking garage is right beside the dessert place, and very convenient to park. The layout is modern and clean. Got the M12 Strattoni (or something like that) and M3 honeycomb. Would come back in the summer for the watermelon ice cream and mango soft serve with cotton candy!

Milkcow Cafe has been making waves on social media with their IG worthy desserts. When we first arrived the entire cafe was full, but by the time we left about an hour later the cafe was empty. We tried their Milky Honey ($5.25) and Tiramisu ($6.50) The Milky Honey is one of their most basic offerings. The organic milk soft serve is highlighted by a sweet honey drizzle. This was nothing special, but I appreciated that the milk taste was the hero of this dessert. The Tiramisu looks small at first glance, but it is quite rich in taste, so in the end I was quite full. There is a very strong espresso taste which I liked a lot! It's a simple dessert elevated with good ingredients. If I was in the area and craving ice cream I would love to come back to try their other desserts! read more

Heard this place from a local foodie, went to check it out in a snowy afternoon. Not going to lie I was a bit disappointed. The ice cream is super soft and pricey for what it worth. The menu is pretty innovative, pairing with cotton candy and macrons. I ordered the honey bomb with a nature chunk of honey, didn't even get to take a photo, the ice cream melted already! It went all over the place I had to eat it with an napkin around the cup. The chunky honey was pretty sweet at the beginning, as it's being sucked down, it became tasteless with somewhat plastic taste in my mouth. However, the soft serve ice cream itself is naturally made and taste fresh. The best thing is that it's not sweet at all. Good place for dessert after a first date. read more

Richmond is in need of a ice cream only shop. I usually have to go to Vancouver for my ice creams. Thanks to Milkcow I can stay in Richmond and indulge in simple or fancy creations of softserve. I've tried a few, cookies & cream, santorini, tiramisu and affogato. I got the cotton candy ones for the gram and honestly like the simpler affogato way more. Tiramisu is very dense and heavy but I like it. I think it could have used more coffee flavour. I personally didn't think ordering the cookies and cream was worth it 'cause it's not much different compared to a McFlurry with oreo's. Note: The ice cream is an ok size for me but it melts quite fast even in winter/spring. I wonder how it's gonna be during summer time. read more

I came here after dinner one night with my sister to try their Korean style soft serve! Prices range from $5.25-$6.50 or so for a decent sized cup with various topping choices, or $4.75 for the plain milk soft serve. This is one of those cash or debit only places, by the way. I had the Milky Honey ($5.25) which was simple and enjoyable. I would get it again! My sister had the Cookies & Cream one ($5.50) that came with Oreo cookie crumble and an Oreo cookie. I was pleasantly surprised at the taste of the soft serve, it was so creamy with just the right amount of sweetness, without being too overpowering. It was better than soft peaks in my opinion. I only wish I didn't have to venture all the way down to Richmond to get it! And it'd be nice to see some extra flavours for sure. As for parking, there's underground parking nearby :) read more

I had the Japanese (or Korean?) Pancake Souffle today. It was my first time trying this so I didn't know what to expect. I had only seen this delicious looking dessert on other Vancouver instagram feeds. I ordered the original flavor. Next time I will be more adventurous to try the Ube flavor - which is purple yam. The staff member said it would take 20 - 30 minutes to make, so we sat down and waited. When we got our pancake souffle, I was surprised that it came with the ice cream. I thought I was just getting the pancake. It was so fluffy, soft, and had an tasty eggy taste to it. The pancake was topped with whipped cream, strawberries, and blueberries. I really enjoyed it because it was like biting into a warm cloud of moist cake. The ice cream was the original milky flavor, which is made with organic milk. I also liked the ice cream because it was not overly sweet like most soft-serve ice cream places. If you aren't very hungry, one dessert tray is enough to share between two people as a mid-afternoon snack for both. But if you are hungry, I suggest ordering your own souffle pancake - which is a dessert tray filled with 2 pancake souffles and a cup of soft-serve ice cream. The music the cafe had on at the time was interesting. I don't know what genre of music it was, but it kind of reminded me of the tunes from the Steven Universe animated series. Eventually, it switched over to mainstream pop. It was very quiet when we first came in with only one other person at a table, but when we were finished at around 4:30, a queue had started at the counter and several tables were filling up with mostly highschool and college age clientele. This was the signal for me to get up and leave, because as you know, I am the "Introvert Foodie" on Yelp. So if you are an introvert foodie like me who would like to come in at a peaceful time, going in between 2pm - 3pm on a weekday will be most quiet. Avoid the weekends because I'm sure those would be the busiest times. read more

I discovered this place through mutuals, and they all said that it's similar to Soft Peaks. I am a huge Soft Peaks fan so I decided to try it out today while I was in the area. Not too busy when I walked in. Decor is all white, and there were only a few tables. I ordered Milky Cube which is their milk soft serve with honey drizzle and a small cube of honeycomb. My brother ordered Cookies n' Cream which included the milk soft serve with oreo crumbs and an oreo on the side. We both added cotton candy as a topping. Milky Cube was great in my opinion. The honey was well complimented with the soft serve which isn't too sweet. Honeycomb was nice but the wax got stuck in my teeth afterwards which was a little annoying. Cookies and cream tasted like an oreo blizzard from DQ but not overly sweet. The cotton candy we got on top was honestly the softest cotton candy i've had. Wasn't too sweet like the ones you get at the fair, this is some high quality cotton candy they are putting out. Only complaint is the price. Very expensive for soft serve (similar price to Soft Peaks). For both of our cups and the add-on cotton candy ($2.50!!), it came out to $18. You could get so much more at other dessert places. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience here and will come back occasionally. read more

My hubby and I were entertaining his parents who flew in from Italy for a visit. We decided to check out the menu, while we were in the area and google listed this dessert house near by. The pictures of their icecream they offered were very appealing and creative. We walked in, the atmosphere easy going, very clean and bright. Had a nice comfy coZy feel. We all tried something different (refer to picture) and after paying $28 for 4 small Dixie cup sized soft-servered. It was not what we were expecting, sadly very boring taste wise, as it's a plain boring unsweetened milk icecream with a sputtering chinse of topping.. the only highlight was the macaroon on my Macao dream which was dark espresso. Sorry, but you didn't win any of our votes to come back again. Save yourself the temptation, unless your just looking for social media highlights, that's as food as it gets. read more
