Super good, especially if you get the non-popular flavors. The main items here are cake flavored and then the main sando (which you should 100% get) is covered in sugar.I went with the Pandan and Lychee with the Ube sando and it had a great balance of not being too sweet and having a super unique texture on the sando and good flavors on the ice cream. It's pricey but can be split two ways with your date

On a whim, my friend and I decided to try Milkbomb when we noticed the line wasn't too long on a weekday evening. My friend warned me that Milkbomb often runs out due to popularity, but to our delight, there were still plenty of flavors left to choose from. On the day of our visit, two flavors caught my eye - adzuki bean and matchacado. Since this was my first visit, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try the sando. (The only available "bun" was pan dulce.)Since the store was manned by a single employee who took orders and served ice cream, the overall ordering process seemed highly inefficient. This minor setback was quickly forgotten when I received my ice cream - the flavors were next-level. I could have done without the bun, but I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely return for their ice cream!

Lowkey overhyped... Milkbomb has been on my list for a while and was a bit underwhelming.There's normally a line. Luckily, we did not run into it. Also, it's a smaller space where you order at the door.I ordered the THAI and UBE ice cream in a ube sandwich. I liked the Ube flavor more than the Thai. I tried my friend's MANGO ice cream. Honestly, the one bite of my friend's mango ice cream made my experience a lot better. I'd recommend to order the Mango over Ube and Thai. Overall, the ice cream tasted good but nothing outstanding. The sandwich was kinda mid. It was very dry. I noticed that a lot of people have marshmallow fluff on their ice cream. They ran out but I wonder if that would've made my experience better.I probably won't be back in the future. If there's no line, I'd recommend you check it out and make your own opinion. If there's a line, I'd lowkey say it's not worth the wait.

She is midThe storefront is just that. A storefront. Only one accessible table to sit at outside with 2 high chairs. Not recommended for large groups unless you want to stand! Which is not bad but just a heads up.Employee taking orders was friendly, funny, and helpful with recommending and explaining flavors.Mango ice cream: yummy. Tastes like Magnolia ice cream (iykyk).Red bean ice cream: not great. Tastes like vanilla with red beans in it. Skip.Ube "donut": it's pan de sal. yummy pan de sal, but definitely not a donut!

Our son had been asking for donuts all day, and also loves ube and ice cream, so upon a quick dessert search on Yelp, Milkbomb was the obvious answer. It's strictly walk-up orders only and the menu is pretty straightforward. We went with the milkbomb sando, and you can pick one or two flavors of ice cream and then choose between an ube bread or a pan dulce. Obviously had to go with the ube bread, with ube ice cream and also fudge brownie to mix it up. Everything tasted delicious! We ate it with spoons to avoid the mess but would've been easier to bite the bread if you ate with your hands. It's definitely shareable but also not too ridiculously big to finish by yourself!

Milkbomb is FUN! I came here recently with a few friends and we thoroughly enjoyed their ice cream sandwiches. It was $7 for a scoop of ice cream (!) and $10 for an ice cream sandwich, so they're definitely trying to push customers toward buying the sandwich. Nevertheless, if you're hungry for a sweet treat, their ice cream sandwich hits the spot!I was impressed with the quality of the ice cream. The birthday cake flavor was festive and I adored the butter brickle flavor! Everyone in my group was happy with their ice cream. The staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient! No samples offered :( so come ready to make a decision! Overall, Milkbomb is a bit gimmicky, but a unique ice cream experience! You can't go wrong sharing one of their ice cream sandwiches. :)

This is really good! When I came they only had 3 flavors left, and they didn't sound too great, however, upon seeing the line and the reviews I decided to give it a shot. The Pandan and Corn flavors were surprisingly good! I would love to try the other flavors next time I'm in Berkeley!Unfortunately they do not offer samples so it was a shot in the dark for me. I'm sure I would like other flavors more! I can see the potential for my 5 star review here.

The ice cream experience was good- but nothing exciting enough for me to return to. Had banana rocky road- and it was more like banana chocolate chip. Not at all what I would consider rocky road which is always loaded with things like chocolate, caramel and the like.Flavor profiles seemed weak in the ice creams- definitely not the loaded type flavor overload like Ben and Jerry' style flavors. But I liked the lemon my son had which was more like a sherbert. Would hope that a small boutique ice cream place made their own cones, but they do not. Overall not impressed for spending $25 on three cones for the fam.

I saw my friend had it so I came here to get it too. First of all, the guy working that day is absolutely helpful and cute!!!!! We ordered the ube bun. The ice cream itself is definitely good quality. It's so milky and sweet. The ube flavor is authentic and thick. We also got the banana rocky road as well. Again. It was milky and tasty. I personally didn't like the bun. The bun is rather lame. It's not tender enough nor crispy enough. And I could taste the plastic for some reason. I definitely recommend the ice cream here, maybe not the buns. I would recommend that they can toast it for 15 seconds. I will be back to try more things.

The aesthetics of these ice cream sandos are certainly present and salient. The ice cream quality and choices are top notch! I got the peach and mango with the ube bread while my SO got the mint with strawberry swirl.The peach and mango ice creams are worth it and the taste was immaculate. The strawberry swirl and mint tasted as expected while the ube bread was a miss for us. It did not add anything entirely different to the taste that my SO ended up peeling it off of his ice cream. Verdict is to come for the fruit flavored ice cream, skip on the bread part.
