Milkcow Cafe offers extravagant flavors of ice cream and milk tea. I got the tiramisu while my friends got black pearl with choco balls and the strawberry flavors. We all thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream with its flavors, texture, toppings, and the small size was just perfect after dinner. We went on a Friday night and it wasnt busy at all. There isnt too much room inside (which also pairs with a poke bowl restaurant) but there are a few tables.

The best ice cream in the Bay. They use honey as a substitute for sugar in ice cream. It’s incredible! Great service and awesome employees too. Very kind. Love stopping by when I’m in town!

Super slow. Took 15 minutes (after paying) to get one milkshake and one ice cream cone. There were a few other people waiting outside ahead of us but maybe make their ice cream first then checkout with us? So at least the wait is transparent. I’ve never waited this long to get a milkshake and ice cream in other places.Note, there were many people behind the counter (4-5 people) but only one was making the ice cream or something.The fruit milkshake was tasty but not very fruity. Just felt like I was drinking a regular strawberry ice cream.

Plenty of parking and plenty of room inside also. This is a really big place with more bar style sitting arrangement. They have macron, coffee and soft serve ice cream. The ice cream is really smooth and thick, they use honey instead of sugar in the ice cream. Staff was polite and patient, service was quick and place was spotless when we went. They use Square for payment and NFC is accepted also. Multiple entrances to the place.

Great little dessert place with soft serve ice cream, in a variety of fun flavours. You can get either a small or large cup which comes with ice cream and one of their 12 signature flavour choices. From a more traditional cookies and cream (my go-to), to crazy cotton candy, or even fresh honeycomb.You can pair your ice cream with a side of stix (sliced toast with a flavoured syrup topping) or macaroons. They have also recently added a selection of Mitchell ice creams that you can buy per scoop.Theres a decent amount of parking in the lot, but once it gets busy you might not find a seat inside.If youre looking for a sweet treat after a movie in the nearby theater, or something after dinner, Milkcow is a great choice!

Ive been waiting for the watermelon sandwich to come back! Was in Fremont so popped on over, very friendly, smelled wonderful inside and while waiting I got to see other fun creations.Loved mine, be warned its super messy as its melting but oh so worth it.

Best soft serve ice cream Ive ever had.PS they are no longer in their old location, they are located in Sunfish poke bar

The soft serve ice cream is pretty good. I wouldnt say its that unique compared to Dairy Queen except for their toppings. They have honeycomb and cotton candy which is interesting. The honey tasted very refreshing. I would say the quality is above most however it is expensive for what it is. I wouldnt come again without a promotion.

It’s a great dessert place with many options. Although the base remains like plain cream based. There’s also honey comb for eating, if you are into that kind of stuff :)

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and it hit the spot on a hot day. I got the choco sundae, which came with soft serve ice cream, malt balls, chocolate sprinkles & syrup, 2 waffle sticks and a freshly made waffle ball thing. It was almost $9 bucks but I didnt mind since I was craving a sundae. This would be a great spot for a date night dessert.

Review №22

After milk cow moved the location, the ice cream isn’t the same anymore. I used to be a big fan. The ice cream is now straight up cream. My stomach feel bloated. So I tested it by leaving it under room temp for an hour, it didn’t melt!!! My stomach has been congested for a few days afterwards.

Review №32

Cute place and I love swinging by when Im in the area. They have options so you can have an egg waffle/bubble waffle with your soft serve which is really nice. One of the topping choices is honey comb so if you ever want the opportunity to try, you can! My favorite flavor when I go is the Strawberry. They put sweetened strawberries with your soft serve and strawberry glaze on top.

They raised their pricing and the ice cream is very fatty. But I like the taste still.

Review №34

I think this is my first 1 star review (you can see I am generally very generous when it comes to reviews and ratings). Worst experience in recent times. I asked for caramel macchiato but I got something without any trace of caramel. I asked for some caramel and got some but still nowhere near what a caramel macchiato would taste. When I asked about this to the person who made it, she said they dont make caramel macchiato with the caramel sauce but a little bit in the sides and she said cant give more syrup without charging extra (note that I tipped 1.5$ for counter service i.e., no table service). She didnt seem even a bit emphathetic to my frustration of having to drink a caramel macchiato without caramel. I really didnt care about paying for extra but cant digest her justification that what she made was caramel macchiato.

Found this place on line for its water melon ice cream and organic soft serve ice cream. But when we asked, the cafe is no longer serving water melon ice cream sandwich, very disappointed. We instead tried strawberry and honey soft serve ice cream. Both are very tasty and creamy. The cotton candy one is a bit too sweet.

Every time I come to Milkcow Cafe, I leave with a smile. Their fresh soft serve is delicious! Usually I have the cookies and cream, love it!Only reason it does not have 5 stars is because most of the time it isnt very clean. Used the bathrooms once and they were not clean at all.

Friendly, fast service! And delicious treats - its my favorite ice cream in Fremont. The milky cube (vanilla soft serve with honeycomb) is especially yummy.

I’m so glad that this place is struggling to survive now. I hope it will close down soon. Their attitude is so bad that it’s like people are begging them for ice cream, honestly is not that great.

Bought a tiramisu here and I can say that it was great. Great varieties and unique. Staffs were nice and clean place.

Review №44

The M2 is an amazing standard. I like to add honeycomb to it, but it’s not necessary to making it good. The ice cream topped with honey such an amazing combo, the honey almost solidifying as the ice cream brings it close to freezing, very nice experience.

Review №45

Man if you like honey and you like ice cream this place is for you! Very unique and grateful that this place is in Fremont. The milk honey is what I always get and have been so addicted to this that I havent been able to try all the other many flavors/ combinations this place has to offer. Everytime Ive come its been perfect and end up with that same buzz of bliss each time.

An
Review №46

The ice cream here is very delicious! Not too sweet, but the balance of flavors that they offer are great. To be honest, not all flavors are appealing but the classic with honey would have to be the best! Add nuts on top for a better tasting milkcow experience!

Review №47

Small variety of deserts, good for meeting up for quick cup of coffee, its very big store but the display and layout is odd, space is used inefficiently. They can try putting some games or make the place more cozy....Kind of feels empty and cold when inside. The products is good tasting though.

Review №48

I really enjoy the soft serve with the hazelnut sauce. It is a bit pricey for the small serving. The service is not great. Seems like the employees dont really care and definitely arent moving with any kind of efficiency. That said, the wait can be long. Theres plenty of parking. Kids really like it because they have lots of topping choices including cotton candy. There are several tables inside, but again it seems like the employees dont care and tables and chairs are out of strewn about and need to be wiped or the floor cleaned.

Air conditioning works extra good for hot day so plan on getting cold. Clean shop, good bathroom, decent service. Food options are limited and expensive. Ice cream was really good. I had a vanilla milkshake. It was excellent.

Review №52

A bit expensive little ice cream shop with a novelty in their ice cream design and presentation. Good for a date or a birthday for two but Im not a huge fan. The customer service and food quality is great.

Review №53

Love this new take on soft serve. It tastes premium and not overly sweet. Its a little pricey but surprisingly a small leaves you satisfied. If youre not into artificial add ons, m7 which comes with almonds and a house macaroon is the way to go! They offer authentic honey from honey comb so peep that unique add on too. Lots of space to chill.

J
Review №54

Delicious milk flavored ice cream. I usually get the milky honey, which has the cup drizzled with honey, then has more honey on top of the ice cream itself. The honey gets cold and firm and is amazing! May get busy in the summer months, but the rest of the year is fast.

Review №55

Ive always wanted to try Milkcow, but never had the opportunity until a few days ago. The wait was pretty long, as it seemed to be only one employee during the shift. She was at the front and also the one who was making the desserts. One person showed up for 30 seconds and was gone.I ordered one of their desserts with cotton candy. I didnt really care for the chocolate rocks at the bottom, and I opted for cotton candy syrup over the apple syrup it came with. I wouldnt recommend this place to people who arent fond of sweets, but I have a huge sweet tooth.We also got the mango slushie with little mango bits and it was super good. Not sour at all! I would love to come back again. I dont think they have FiveStar, but they should!

Review №56

Super thick custard-like ice cream. I love the texture and flavor! Ive found its is quite polarizing though, you either hate it or love it.

Review №57

Asian soft serve concept store. Soft serve was indeed very good. But then they force you to add all this other stuff on top of it (honey, nut powder, cotton candy, egg waffle which is like a warm waffle crossed with a fortune cookie) which makes it all incredibly sweet and caloric. And more expensive. The honey drizzled soft serve was exotic but to sweet in the end for $8. Didnt finish it. Might go back for the tiramisu one day. IMO a once and done.

Review №58

EVERYONE: I love this spot. Such a cute place for desert, sweet treat or a drink anytime of the day. Not many places in Fremont with great options and great vibes like Milk Cow!My personal favorite: milky honey soft serve. It really is their best! The first time I came here I couldn’t believe how amazing their honey is. They use actual honey combs in this little desert! Deliciousssssss!

Delicious soft serve!They have the same base of soft serve in all of them, but different toppings. We tried mango tree and macaroons soft serve. Mango chuncks in mango tree were tasteless, otherwise all is delicious.

First trial, love the soft ice cream with honey, its creamy rich and yummy. Will come back for macaroons and egg waffles. its a conducive place to hangout with friends and family. Stuffs are friendly too.My fourth visit, ordered thai milk tea, its a bummer. It doesnt have the creamy ice cream taste in their milk tea, different with their ads which stated tea + their soft ice cream. Its pretty plain, watery, i am not even see the employee put any ice cream on my Thai tea.

Pa
Review №62

Workers are too slow, tables are dirty, and the building has a bad smell inside. To add flavoring they only put syrups on top and cannot actually blend the flavor into the ice cream (unless its a milkshake). Flavors are unusual. The ice cream itself isnt bad but the employees need to get faster and do a better job. Also they need to open the doors and window to get rid of that smell.

Smooth ice cream! Great atmosphere, especially a good chill place for late night chills. Definitely check this out if youre in the area, after dinner, and dont wanna head home too early!

Review №64

Milkcow is following the Korean soft serve craze that has hit LA (Honeymee). The soft serve is great and I love the honey comb that they have available for a topping, but the ice cream isnt cheap. They have a number of preset ice creams with things like cotton candy, honey, and nuts.

Milk Cow has a good collection of ice cream and milk teas. The service is a really good. The rewards points system is sparsely works.

Review №67

After all the talk, this was a bit disappointing. While I can tell the ingredients were fresh and organic, the flavor was not there. I am not a fan of needed gimmicks (cotton candy or honey comb) to bring flavor to ice cream. This needed it. We will probably not go back as there are plenty of other options close by.

Review №68

It is a very trendy shop. However, all of their ice cream has eggs, so due to our allergy, we missed out on many items. The milk tea also had ice cream although they agreed to make it with whole milk. They were very kind.

Ri
Review №69

Photogenic soft serve. I would recommend the honey comb. Getting the cotton candy on top is only for looks and doesnt add anything to the taste honestly.

Review №70

Totally different softserve from any other soft serve. Super rich creamy flavor with a wholesome sweetness and a rich texture on the tongue. This icecream is the perfect foil to a spicy meal. The flavors are so much richer then what you find in other icecream retailers.

Mc
Review №71

Waaaay too sweet. Great for kids on a sugar rush, or if you want early onset diabetes, then this is the place. Honestly, this is just a richer McDonalds soft serve. Nothing special. Cost way too much. European ice cream is much better and way less sugar.Sugar is not good for you, in case you are wondering why I constantly bring it up.

Soft ice-cream is such a trend these days. Even a small order here is too much for me to finish. I like creamy texture of the ice-cream. I typically get the most basic item on the menu. honey with vanilla

Not worth the price. They may use organic ice cream, but their toppings arent organic. If youre only going for simple scoops of organic ice cream, then Id say its worth it. Try their mango.

I had honey comb ice cream back in Seoul, so my expectation was a bit high before I visited. I guess this place is perfectly all right for those who never been to Seoul.The ice cream place is huge relatively speaking to a store that only sells ice cream.
