Discovering Sweet Bliss at Milk Jawn

“ Great ice cream in Philadelphia! I got the chocolate scoop on a waffle cone. Chocolate was a nice rich flavor, and waffle cone very crunchy and not too sweet. One scoop is pretty large and costs $5.50. Fast and friendly service. Clean interior with limited standing space. ”

“ My favorite ice cream jawn in the city. The best is earl Frey with honeycomb crunch. And I usually get the toffee crunch too. Tried the super fold vanilla and will be delicious with my Nespresso dribbled over top ”

“ Easily the best ice cream in philly. Unique flavors and a quality vegan selection as well. ”

“ Some of the best ice cream to be had in Philly with shops in East Passyunk and NoLibs. Interesting flavors and a substantial selection of vegan ice creams. ”

“ 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!!! ”

“ 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~ ”

“ 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. ”

“ Let's go, Milk Jawn! Our little princess wanted some ice cream and I pulled Milk Jawn out of my Yelp collections after dinner nearby. I ordered the tahini vanilla fudge and the bits of tahini really bursted thru. Service was darn fast! There was waaaay more ice cream than I expected and I love that! Lol I can't wait to try one of their seasonal flavors! ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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) ”
