Some friends of mine went to try this place out and came back with exciting reviews about it, so I, along with my gf and friends, went to see what the big deal was. I'm not very good with reviews so I'll just tell you what happened. Saturday night, around 10pm. I drove from the 626 to Milk in about 20 minutes (traffic wasn't bad at all) and found parking within 5 minutes. I guess I was lucky because there was barely any street parking available. DON'T PARK ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS SURROUNDING THE BLOCK BECAUSE THEY WILL TICKET YOU
Anyway, we got in line (if it could even be called a line) and ordered. It was literally 5 minutes from the time we got in line to finding a table to sit and enjoy our yummy desserts. The menu was extensive and everything looked so good, heh. But I ordered their Mint Chocolate Crunch Shake and Sara had the Blue Velvet Cake, and my two other friends ordered several smaller things, like a Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bar, Caramal Apples, and Mini-Red-Velvet Cupcake. The Blue Velvet Cake was really sweet, but it was gooooood. The bread was still moist and the icing was still soft. My Mint Chocolate Crunch Shake was the perfect balance of milk, ice cream, mint, and chocolate. The crunch part came from... I don't know, but with every sip you get a crunch with it! It was fun to drink, and not to mention very good to drink! The place itself is kinda small, smaller than I thought it to be. But they make it work. The tables and seats are ehh, but hey, you're there to enjoy the desserts. I don't expect anyone to go to a place like Milk for the ambiance.
I wouldn't mind going back once a month to indulge in their (literally) sweet, sweet menu. And all this coming from someone who hates everything pastry and cake...
