If somebody wants to tell us what the blue flavor is (we all know what we're talking about) please hit our line, we would love for a know it all to let us know. This makes your mouth so blue, just looking too damn childish to be walking around like that. Also thoughts on the bubble cone, when are you too old for that and why is it 25? Back to the blue ice cream what flavor could that possibly be. Also please answer if your stomach hurt bad and you felt ashamed not for eating it but for ordering it. I am 26 for those who are wondering. Will not be coming back will hit bartaco though and probably sweetfrog if they have Strawberry Shortcake, long story check other reviews.

I'm from out of state and have never been here before, so this is an unbiased review - it looks like in the past this location has specialized in using nitrogen to rapidly chill and make ice cream on-demand, this is no longer the case.As usual, my baseline for an ice cream joint is Josh & John's in CO Springs. Great ice cream, unique flavors, and all-around a solid, homely place.Milkcrafts' owner likes to wax poetic on Google review responses regarding the freshness of the ice cream they dispense - likely to dissolve concerns that the quality of the ice cream has now suffered after the production process change. This isn't necessarily the case, but advertising that your ice cream is made fresh every hour of the day is not quite a bold-faced lie, but unless you're turning insane quantities of product on weekdays, this is impossible to achieve. I didn't get a picture, but bulk container lids left on the counter DEFINITELY read 3/29, 4/1 and so on. Don't lie to people about the product they're getting, especially if they can see that it's obviously not trueThe ice cream itself is good. It's not excellent, but it's worth visiting if you're in the area. I would not drive long distances (>45 minutes) to get ice cream here. This ice cream only slightly edges out gourmet pints (Graeter's, Jeni's, and so on) that are sold at comparable prices across the northeast.There were reports that the blue flavor (Blue Butter Cookie) wreaked havoc on some folks' GI reacts, I did not suffer such a fate. It was tasty! Vanilla can use a stronger vanilla.A small is altogether a too much ice cream for a treat after dinner - splitting it into two flavors also resulted in a 0.50$ surcharge. I don't care, but others may. Not sure if this is due to the blue cookie butter or the splitting of the flavors.Parking: Limited street parking near store. Someone in front of the store really attempted too many times to parallel park.Likely a public, paid, lot somewhere nearby.

The girl behind the counter tonight was amazing. The person she was working with was a smart a** don’t mean to curse but he look like he hated his job and was picking at the little things. 10/10 don’t recommend him for hire.

Nice little ice cream shop, good atmosphere, all the toppings in the world. Would recommend the Thai Coffee if it's still there. Word on the street is the manager is a Bowser main. Don't know how he pulls that one off.

Love the ice cream. Love the decor and friendly staff. I gave 4 star for service because one time I made the 1.5 hour drive to find that despite it was supposed to be open, the shop was closed in the middle of the day.Parking: Difficult to find parking because of the busy area. It's all metered parking.

Drove nearly an hour to get there at 930pm and everyone is inside cleaning and closing the store even though it doesn't close until 11pm. They just looked at us through the window without explaining until we left, no one would answer the phone either. How disappointing and irritating wasting our time, gas and excitement.

It was a good place, the ice cream was incredibly delicious but since they have it ready in the containers it is no longer the same, the truth is that it is an ice cream like any other, too bad because it was very delicious, it is no longer worth going.

Great experience. Some of the best artisanal ice cream I've ever had. You can sample anything you want and they have only a few but high-quality unique flavors. We got the Mexican Chocolate, and it was so rich and dark. I'd go back any day to try the rest of what they make.

Milkcraft as a whole is great, but this location is dirty and often overcrowded. Find another...

Though the service was great, the “top selling” blue ice cream seriously messes with your stomach. It’s 2 AM and I woke up with extreme stomach pains, sweating, nausea, and everything was blue without getting into details. I have no dairy issues and never have had stomach pains this bad before. This was my first time coming here and sadly was not a good experience for me.
