      Staff is super sweet and considerate. They accidentally gave me the wrong flavor and then offered to give me an extra one for compensation

      This hole in the wall spot is perfect whatever you're craving ice cream or dessert!

      Just a warning that it is a one-man show and everything is made to order so be prepared for a longer wait time especially when there's multiple people in line.

      Every single time I've been here there is always a longer line but that's a good sign.

      We got a scoop of ice cream and a selection of flavors include majority Asian inspired flavors but as well as the classics. We didn't get to try the sandwich, but that will be on my list for the next time!

      Mike and his team always have a smile on their faces to go with the smile on my face while I'm savoring* my ice cream. :-)

      I've lived in San Francisco for about 5 years. Not trying this place sooner is a massive regret.
      My friend came earlier and didn't love the ice cream with the bread, so he wasn't excited to come back. But we were in the area anyways, and I've never had it. When he had the ice cream alone... he regretted his words. We came here three times in one weekend, and we do not eat ice cream or dessert like that. It's that good. I drive here from San Bruno or sunset district, it's worth the traffic and drive.
      The employees are amazing. The lines may be long, but WORTH IT-they're long for a reason.
      I had to go back today for their pints. Will probably be back tomorrow....

      I have lived in the area and somehow never gone to Milkbomb. What a mistake! It is frustrating how good this is and how friendly the service is.

      They had playful banter with my 6 year old, made her a wonderful sprinkle topped cone.

      I told them to surprise me in my ice cream sandwich order, only requesting that one has marshmallow. So good! I ate the entire thing in a minute. Great contrast of hot and cold, smooth and crunchy.

      I'll be back!

      First time here and this place is the bomb indeed!

      I got the sandwich with a scoop of butter bricker(?) and brownie fudge. The bun part of the sandwich is warm and so good!!

      The only part that was not ideal is the warm toasty bun melts the ice cream super quickly, so I couldn't fully enjoy my ice cream but rather slurp it up as soon as I can before it all melted. (Probs less than 5 mins)

      But the service is fantastic and I don't think I've ever appreciated the person who handed me the ice cream more than the ice cream before today!!!

      Came by for a quick ice cream scoop. Arrived around opening as the operations is small and wait times can build up. While small, the business is mighty and delivers a very unique product - the Milkbomb Sandwich. As mentioned, only opted for a single scoop. Very unique flavors, many with Asian influence. Opted for something truly unique - ube s'mores. First bite and the s'more flavor really kicked in. Well balanced, sweet, but not too sweet. Ube came in next to round out the flavor. Service is friendly and authentic. You can tell a lot of work goes into making each product.

      I loved this hot & cold combo of sweet goodness. I can't wait for more. Sweet brioche donut, and ice cream!

      The owners were super nice & sweet. They gave me great tips as it was my first time, and surprised me with a first time discount.

      Take out only, but there are some patio seatings in this area. Street parking is available too.

      They ask how you like the fluff to be toasted. I asked for extra toasted - exactly how I like it.

      No wait on a Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm, and easy to get street parking near the park next door. Loved our creation with the toffee brittle ice cream and fruity pebbles (aside from the banana rocky road which was a little too banana-y for my liking). Would definitely come back again to try more flavors!
