Expect natural soft serve ice cream in an array of flavors and topped with creative flourishes like honeycomb, macarons and cotton candy, with pricing ranging from $3.95 to $5.95. (See a menu here.) Wash it down with Milkcow's beverage offerings, which include milkshakes, espresso drinks and teas (with optional cheese foam, a newish trend).

Yelper Jason H. is a fan of Milkcow's offering, stating that "it's very good and definitely the best milk soft serve in the LA area," while Emily G. loved the vibe, saying "the inside is SO cute and I love all their decorations and interior furniture."
