Fun time watching them make the ice cream with liquid nitrogen. The ice cream is super creamy. I grew up on Custard in Wisconsin and this might just be better than that.As pointed out by others you can wait a while for it. Especially if they have to change out the tank. However, the show of them making it is fun.

Great Place. Ice-cream was so creamy and soft. I loved it. Dont get confuse with location. It is inside BiggBY Coffee so dont look for the name Milkster. I have tried Dragon Balls, Cookies N cream and Strawberry. Dragon Balls was not that great ( should try once though if you have never done so).

Worth a visit! It’s fun to watch them make the ice cream. Interesting flavors too that they switch out occasionally. A little pricey, but too be expected.

The ice cream had a great texture and the flavours were alright but nothing extraordinary. They make it in front of you with the nitrogen. The place might hard to find, its right behind Bigby

This ice cream is really good! I love the Ferrero Rocher, its so creamy and it does taste like Ferrero! I also recommend the banana pie and pumpkin pie ice cream, but that one is seasonal.

We were skeptical of the Nitrogen claim before we stepped in, but were pleasantly surprised by one of the creamiest ice cream weve ever had! And the salted caramel that I got had a little bursts of salty crackles that made it even more enjoyable.The reason it loses a star is coz the premises and ambiance are nothing special considering the prices theyre charging. It hides behind a Biggby coffee shop and kinda looks pokey. And the gimmick of Topping in a syringe looks tacky and creates unnecessary landfill.Note that the place might be hard to spot from the road coz the signage is dominated by Biggby coffee. Just look for Biggby coffee if youre driving.

This lowkey creamerys(recently expanded co-op with Bigsby Coffee) nitrogen-created ice cream with frozen custard decadence is truly the top place around! blended with liquid nitrogen; the vapor looking like a science experiment. Getting ice cream became an experience! with rotating flavors including vegan options, flavored syringes, and Dragons Breathe

Amazing ice cream! Better than other nitrogen ice cream places by far! Always changing up seasonal flavors too! Definitely should stop in here!

Their dragon balls nitrogen ice cream is not even ice cream, its old soggy cereal balls that had liquid nitrogen poured on them... and they charge you 6.99 for that...! Wow! I spent 15 bucks on old cereal that we ended up throwing out after the nitrogen diffused. Ill never purchase from them again, thats how disappointed I am. At least tell people youll be paying 7 dollars for OLD CEREAL BALLS!!!

Ive been sitting in the connecting Biggby for about 3 hours and have seen almost 50 people come into the building just for this Ice cream. The only thing is that theyve closed for the winter I know that many ice cream places do this but I know that it might be more promising if people knew or they did stay open because people really want to come here! Opening in April I believe they said. Other than the closing, still amazing.

Amazing high quality ice cream. The texture is unbelievable. Its very creamy, something you can only get at a place that makes the ice cream from scratch.Each scoop is made individually by order. Its a bit pricey ($5 for a small scoop) but definitely worth trying at least once (if not more often).

Review №14

WOW! Where has this been all my life!? Creative flavors, deliciously creamy, and strangely smooth like peanut butter. And it was fun to watch them make the ice cream - like watching a scientist in a laboratory! I highly recommend the cookies and cream, and the biscoff cookie - both were phenomenal! Cant wait to go back!

I was told on March that this place wont be opened till mid of May, guess what, I went here today and the Biggy coffee shop was closed, too.And nothing has been marked on Google map, this place is now famous of keep disappointing folks sweet tooth. Big a good action.

Ice cream is phenomenal. Decor is nice. There is very limited seating as it shares the building with Biggby Coffee and unfortunately the outside benches have you directly face to face with the cars in the parking lot. The girl who rang us up was pleasant and helpful.

Review №17

I would go just for the experience. The ice cream is basically really creamy soft serve. That be said, it is overpriced for what you get. I guess your paying for the novelty and the made-to-order ice cream but still. The price puts me off from returning here on a usual basis.Also if you want to attract more costimers, get more tables or sitting area. Make your prices reasonable if you want returning customers.

Mi
Review №18

The experience was really cool, but the place was a mess. They were busy when we first got there, Ill give them that. But one of the employees had a friend that stood at the counter for 30 min. If you have that much time to chit-chat while working slowly, then maybe other things should be getting done, like washing the tables for customers, and taking out the over flowing trash can.

Review №19

The best texture in ice cream Ive ever had. The nitrogen isnt a gimmick, it legitimately makes the Ive cream melt in your mouth smooth and the flavors are creative and diverse. I highly recommend

We love the ice cream here! Unfortunately the service during our last visit wasnt as great as it usually is. The ladies didnt seem to know the topping for all of the ice creams. Otherwise, delicious as always!

Called beforehand, no one answered. Showed up during open hours a d the building is for sale. The company should at least update google and answering machine so that it doesn’t say they’re open. Don’t waste your time.

Review №24

Ice cream is ordinary and cost too much for a puff of liquid nitrogen. The dragon breath is an interesting experience. As you eat it, nitrogen comes out of your mouth in form of visible smoke.

Mi
Review №25

If you like creamy goodness and the best tasting ice cream youve ever had. Go no further. Service is a bit slow but understandably they make each dish individually.

Review №26

Yes please... A must watch and taste. Kids love the dragon Ball puffs. Cookies and cream is out of this world.

If you like great ice cream make this a stop on your list. The start with real ingredients add some Liquid Nitrogen and you get a super creamy amazing treat.

One of the Great place for nitrogen ice cream in Detroit area. Dont get confused with the directions. Its under bigB coffee building.

The very first time visited the staff was superb. In addition, the lighting was dark and purple. It was cool for kids... This time, customer service wasnt anything to write home about nor was the atmosphere.

Great ice cream for an even greater cause. Every cup sold goes to provide water to those in need. Watching them make it in front of you with liquid nitrogen is really interesting to watch. Its located inside at the back end of the Biggby at John R and 13 Mile.

Wonderful experience. Fast friendly service. Honestly the best icecream I have ever had. Order the strawberry!

Review №33

The texture of the ice cream is great, because of the nitrogen. However, flavor is average at best, similar to what you can find at McDonalds.Honorable mention for providing biodegradable spoons.

Review №34

The place is nice. Service was ok. We were extremely disappointed with our Dragon Breath dessert. It never smoked for us. It was never even cold really. When we told someone about it, he explained it is only a 4 min deal. Well we didnt even get a 1 min experience. Just nasty stale cereal puffs w/ gross dipping sauce. Biggest waste of $6 bucks. Well you live and learn, I guess.

Ca
Review №35

I have to agree with all the other fans of this place. You must go and try and dragons breath and be prepared to laugh and laugh while you eat it! They have super cool flavors, all made while you wait and even a super good non dairy option in the cookies and cream made with almond milk. Soooo good.

A must try for the ice cream lover!! Ice cream is made fresh right in front of you and has a smooth texture. Try an espresso shot on top if youre a coffee lover. Located in the Biggby on John R. We will definitely be back!

Ka
Review №38

Only reason I wouldnt give it a 1 star is because we came on a slow day and the service was pretty quick. ice cream was creamy af very medicore and the dragon balls? was pretty much fruity pebble cereal on steroids. From the second we got from the counter to the table the nitrogen was pretty much gone and I was stuck eating breakfast.

Wow! I’m shook this is the best ice cream in the world! The dragon breath was awesome! The cookie n’ cream was amazing! So creamy!!

Review №40

The most popular thing here is, the nitrogen ice cream that they make freshly and in front of you. Very delicious!My cousin recommended it for me and even chose the flavor of the ice cream for me. Try the Ferrero Rocher and you wont regret it ;)

Review №41

Expensive, not very customizable, and inconsistent quality from visit to visit. Ive had some very delicious ice cream here, but today was the opposite end of the spectrum.When its good, its great. When its not, I regret the $6+ per cup.

Review №42

The experience was fun but the ice cream was a little too sugary (I tried the salted caramel - and it was a little too salty as well). Would be more fun for kids.

Li
Review №43

The dragons breath is a lot of fun, and the ice cream is really rich. I got the cereal and milk ice cream, which tastes just like fruity pebbles milk turned into ice cream.

Ka
Review №44

What an interesting experience. I am not sure if the staff had an off night or of theyre always difficult but it wasnt the most pleasant experience.For one, the Dragons breath was $6+ tax, which would have been fine if they worked. It was disappointing when they werent really cold.Then we ordered 3 ice creams and had to go up 3 separate times to remind them to make it. Thankfully they did and the ice cream was great but it was very frustrating to keep reminding them what we ordered and paid for.With out all of that mess, it was very enjoyable to eat and watch. There was also enough seating for the large group we had.

Review №45

Ordered the Biscoff Voyage and a Vegan Vanilla. Wait was long because everything is made to order and its pretty expensive (around six dollars for a scoop.) My Biscoff Ice cream did not taste like anything really except sweet cream. The vegan, however was at least not so bad. Probably wont return because it wasnt worth the price or wait.

Amazing hole-in-the-wall ice cream shop that makes all of their stuff with liquid nitrogen! A fun experience and the ice cream tastes amazing (Cookies and Creme for life.)

Review №47

I crave this stuff all the time. So smooth and flavorful! The most popular flavor seems to be the chocolaty Ferrero Rocher but the other fruity flavors available are very refreshing. The only downside is the wait time when the place gets packed.

Interesting concept. Ice cream taste great. Sometimes there can be a line of 6+ people and it may take a while.

Review №49

After their expansion they have smaller portion sizes they dont even fill the cup anymore. Its more of half a scoop than a full scoop. Not worth for a small that you pay almost $4 for. Use to be one of my favorite places.

They have great ice cream but no matter what size you get, you get the same amount. I paid for a large, it’s the same amount as my friend who got a small one.

Honestly one of the worse places i have been to. The staff were kind but the dragon breath and dragon drop were AWFUL!!! It was just regular cereal with liquid nitrogen & a big fat mint -_- not worth the money. Totally not recommend

Ice cream was really creamy. But I dont think its worth $5 a scoop, esp when the flavor topping is an extra $1.5! I might try the dragons breath next time.

What a dissapoinrment!! You drive 1 hour to a place that supposedly closes at 11 you arrive at 10:00 when you are greeted by a mean owner who tells you they are closed!! Maybe they should get there hours right and not dissapoint kids. Never will I go here again and neither should you!

Id been to a similar place in South Korea that made ice cream the same way: topping syringes, kitchenaids, and N2. Nice Modern Creamery makes Waaaaaay better ice cream. Its actually creamy and doesnt have ice crystals like the one I had in Korea.
