What is Worth Choosing

When deciding what to indulge in at Milk & Cookies, the most highly-praised items are an excellent starting point. The overall concept here is about indulgence and high quality, making any choice a great one, but the customer favorites truly shine.

Many customers highly recommend combining the two main specialties: the cookies and the ice cream. An ice cream sandwich created with two warm cookies and one of the artisan ice cream flavors is the ultimate signature dessert. For those who prefer to keep their cookies and ice cream separate, the homemade ice cream pints are a massive hit, with Cookies & Creme frequently cited as a top-selling flavor, lauded for having real Oreos hand-tossed into the base. The Salted Caramel Ice Cream and the California Strawberry also receive high praise for their rich and natural flavor profiles.

Among the cookies, the classic Chocolate Chip remains the undisputed number-one favorite, celebrated for being perfectly soft and gooey. The jumbo-sized Peanut Buttercup is another must-try, offering a rich peanut butter cookie base topped with pieces of Reese's Peanut Buttercups. For a tropical twist that resonates with the Southern California locale, the Royal Hawaiian cookie—a mix of semi-sweet chocolate, macadamia nuts, and coconut—is a highly rated specialty item. A truly unique and highly-rated flavor to seek out is the Lemon & Blueberry (JUMBO), which reviewers have called a perfect springtime cookie, featuring a tart and chewy lemon base with dried blueberries. Finally, for large events and celebrations, choosing the Cookie & Scoop Cart for onsite service offers a completely unique and fun dessert bar experience that your California guests are sure to talk about long after the event ends.
