Afters Ice Cream

After a day trip to LA from San Diego me and my boyfriend wanted to end the day with something sweet for the ride home. First we tried going to the loop but the crazy line drove us away, and we got on Unilocal and saw that this place wasn’t too far. Glad we got to try it out though because it was soo good. The line wasn’t too bad, only waited about 10 – 15 minutes, it was a Friday night around 10, only problem was there was no bathroom. Anyways, I got a glazed milky bun with the Cookie Monster ice cream and gummy bears and my boyfriend got a glazed milky bun with the strawberry ice cream and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, both were amazing. It’s something you can’t really find anywhere else with the warm donut and the variety of flavor ice creams they have. Would definitely come back to this place when we’re back in the area.

I heard about this place via a million Instagram posts and finally made my way to the Fountain Valley location yesterday. Wasn’t crowded, and the guy helping us gave us plenty of samples and suggestions! He even put toppings on our tasters to help us choose!
I opted for the glazed milky bun with milk and cereal flavor and corn flakes. My fiancé got the glazed milky bun with Cookie Monster and captain crunch. Both delicious, though I liked my choice better! VERY sweet (obviously) and filling.
I would definitely come back, loved all the flavors– I just would try to split one with someone next time!

I came here because the lines at Coachella were so long the entire weekend and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Four stars for the quality of the ice cream. I tried a few flavors and settled on the Jasmine Tea flavor (which was colored an inexplicable purple for fun?) and got it in an unglazed milky bun with Captain Crunch topping.
I can see the appeal of the warm milky bun and cold ice cream but I don’t really think I was a huge fan of it. It was getting a little messy so I felt like I had to gobble it down before the warmth of the bun melted the ice cream even more.
Staff was very helpful and didn’t hesitate to provide as many samples as you wanted. However, because people were sampling every flavor under the sun, the line took a little longer than usual. We were fortunate to have arrived during what looked a like a lull and only waited about 10 – 15 minutes for a big family in front of us to mosey along.
The counter area could have used cleaning, though. Customers (especially ones of the miniature variety) weren’t being very careful with the ice cream samples so there were a lot of drips here and there.
Great ice cream… I came, I saw, I conquered… but that’s ok for me now!

SERIOUSLY !!! What genius thought this up!
Donuts and ice cream!
WARNING: sugar over load

I tried the ice cream sandwich that they said was good and popular. If you really don’t like really sweet pastries I don’t suggest you try it. The milky bun reminded me of a glazed donut. If you do eat the ice cream sandwich make sure you eat it right away when the ice cream starts to melt it can start getting messy eating it. Be sure to get lots of napkins to wrap around the sandwich when its going to drip.
I really like the ice cream here they have unique flavors like Almond Cookie ice cream that taste exactly like an almond cookie except in a ice cream flavor. If you’re really into acai try the acai berry flavor too that is more like a sorbet. The popular flavor is the Cookie Monster combined with vanilla, chocolate and they dye the ice cream blue its delicious too.

My bf & I was going to try Afters for the first time but when we got to the store, it was already closed. Luckily, there was a sign directing us where their food truck was going to be at. When we got to the food truck, the line was really long. We waited for about a half hr.
We tried the Cookie Monster Milky Bun with mochi topping and it was delicious! The milky bun was a fresh sweet soft glazed donut. In the beginning, I was afraid the milky bun & ice cream was going to be super sweet together. But the ice cream actually helped balance it out. Everything blended in very well.
The worth was definitely worth the wait. We look forward to trying other flavors from their menu the next time we visit LA.

This place is OK. The ice cream overall is tasty but I didn’t see a lot of the «fruity» flavors options that goes with ice cream. Would be great to see flavors like mango, watermelon, strawberry, banana, etc, etc. overall the ambience is nice with the seating outside people watching and enjoying a breeze. Service is very nice and they even have a «selfie» background to take selfies — very hip! Haven’t tried the «milky bun» yet so maybe I’ll add another Unilocal star if they taste awesome next time.

Want the best combination? You’ve found it right here. Let me explain it with a story.
Imagine Zeus sitting on Olympus, stomach growling and just being all cranky. Zeus then calls to his trusty delivery god to go and create UberEats so that he could order something that was made to satisfy even his Olympic tastebuds. After Hermes arrives at Afters Ice Cream and asks the kind gentleman what he recommends, and that is when he is told, «Everything is good, it is all about the creativity of the mind that makes it even better.» Fearing that his mind would not be enough, Hermes made the quick decision to choose a combination so divine, so exquisite, that he knew for sure that Zeus would enjoy it.
Zeus, anxious to try his new snack, tore open the packaging of the Milky Bun, looking ever so longingly into the depths of its soft, cushiony bussom. Slowly, Zeus took the first bite, chewing thoroughly, allowing the rich flavor to touch upon all his tastebuds. Zeus’ face contorted to that of discontent. The bun was regular, the ice cream abysmal, and the cereal, unnecessary. Deeming it a failure, Zeus moved to discard the snack, but mid motion decided, maybe another bite is an order. Taking the second bite made all the difference. Within that instant, with the sweetness already embedded into the tastebuds, Zeus tasted Olympus, he tasted life, he tasted the universe all tied to one, small, warm, icecream filled bite. With such success, Zeus deemed that this food, this «Milky Bun» was to be renamed as Ambrosia. And that, is the true story of how the gods of Olympus founded the deity-​worthy snack, known to them as Ambrosia, and to us, and the «Milky Bun.»
Endorsed by Zeus himself, the Milk Bun is delicious. Absolutely delicious. A hot doughnut stuffed with icecream, but not just any ice cream, Cookie Butter Ice Cream, with cereal as a topping for that extra crunch. Legend has it that this is the exact combination Zeus asked for when he required his first snack, the original ambrosia. This 6 $ snack is everything any god or goddess could ever desire, so do yourself a favor and go get yourself one of these snacks :3

Love this place. Small and bite size. PErfect even after a hearty meal.
I love the different flavors here, esp the JAsmine milk tea!
Different cereals and toppings to add. Service is quick and people are very friendly.
I’d recommend a nonglazed donut, by the way. A glazed donut tends to be too sweet for my liking after adding my ice cream and toppings :)

If you’re looking for good ice cream, Afters has some interesting flavors.
The décor is cute. Very trendy. Super hipster.
One scoop is $ 4, which is a little pricey, but I guess for specialty ice cream it is what it is. If you want to try the milky bun it’s $ 6.
I tried a lot of different flavors, but honestly didn’t find any of the flavors to be all that exciting. I mean, they were good, but I wasn’t particularly impressed or surprised by anything. I did like the Vietnamese coffee ice cream, which has a strong coffee flavor. I thought the Cookie Monster flavor (Afters’ version of cookies and cream, which is bright blue just like Cookie Monster) was pretty average and a little too sweet for my taste. The Milk and Cereal wasn’t bad, though.
The milky bun is pretty intense. Glazed donuts are already sweet enough on their own. Stuffing it with ice cream only makes it sweeter. This could just be me because when it comes to desserts I prefer something that isn’t going to make me diabetic, but let’s be real and admit putting ice cream inside of a donut is pretty decadent.
Overall, Afters was A-​OK. I wouldn’t go out of my way to drive here, nor would I ever crave any particular flavor here or the milky bun. However, if you do like sweet ice creams and sweet desserts, Afters could be a good place for you.

Cookie monster ice cream with milky buns!!! That sandwich was amazing and to die for!!! Next time I go to Cali, I’m definitely coming back here to try the other flavors!!!
Long lines but worth the wait :)

What could I possibly say that hasn’t already been said by the 2400 other reviewers? Probably nothing insightful.
Afters is a delicious unique experience & if you’re near one & you’ve never been, you need to go. The concept of a donut ice cream sandwich is well executed (& damn, don’t you wish you thought of it before because you’d be rich by now??) & the price is reasonable. Delicious ice cream with a topping of your choice & a milk bun? Yum. Sign me up.
Their waffle cones are great too & I love their mango & peach flavor. I didn’t really feel like their ice cream was too heavy, it’s fluffy & a little on the less creamy side, which is really good because it doesn’t make you feel like a complete fatass after.
Highly recommend. Not the best ice cream or donut you’ll ever have in the world, but they do a great job & their staff is really friendly. Worth a visit!!!

This place is nuts! Ice cream sandwiched between donuts and cookies?! I love the concept because you can control the cookie/​donut and the ice cream. Who doesn’t like ice cream sandwiches? Whether it’s donuts or cookies, ice cream is meant to be with either.
We got two milky buns with glazed donuts + 1 scoop cookie monster + 1 scoop jasmine milk tea and the other one with Vietnamese coffee. The cookie monster is totally worth, and paired with the jasmine milk tea and the donuts it’s perfect! Perfect! The Vietnamese coffee with the donuts though were not meant to be. The ice cream is good, but with the glazed donut it didn’t leave quite an impression like the cookie monster/​jasmine milk tea combo. The donuts are warm and chewy, but by themselves they’re just ok.
I would love to try this place again – it’s such a cool concept to me which is why I can’t really say whether or not the value is there or not. I need some more to make sure it’s not just a gimmick to me. I think they got the ice cream right, but on initial try the donut could be better. We will definitely have to try this place again next time we’re in Cali.

For those that know me, then you should know I’ve recently became a hardcore sweet tooth person. I love ice cream. Ice cream all day every day, I’ll eat it any time, rain or shine. LOL
I love the concept that AFTERS offers. You would think an ice-​cream donut sandwich would be too much, but it was amazing. I usually get in the Milky Bun: $ 6 (Glazed donuts with cookie monster ice cream) & for some odd reason, I felt like the ice cream mellows down the sweetness of the donut which is surprising!
Prices: 1 Scoop ($ 4), 2 Scoops ($ 6), 3 Scoops ($ 7)
Flavors: Vietnamese coffee, vanilla, strawberry cookie crunch, peanut butter s’mores, mint monster, milk & cereal, jasmine milk tea, cookie monster (my favorite), churro, cookie butter, banana walnut fudge, almond cookie, acai blueberry, & triple C.
Notes:
— It can get SUPER messy so prepare yourself!
— Spot is tiny, no seats inside & a few seats outside.

This Afters location is the first one I believe, but they don’t have any signs up except ICE CREAM on the building so it’s easy to miss.
They’re open late for those late night ice cream cravings. Try anything you’d like, the workers here are friendly. The most popular item is the Cookie Monster which has Oreos, famous amos and another type of cookie. Be careful though because it’ll make your mouth blue! The mint monster is also Very good in my opinion as well as their jasmine milk tea. I haven’t found another place that sells jasmine milk tea ice cream! You can get half of one flavor and half of another.
Afters is famous for their milky bun, which is a donut with ice cream inside however the milky bun gets too cold from the ice cream and after a while it feels like you’re just eating bread. Ice cream cones are only $ 0.50 which is a great deal because other places charge $ 1 or more.

Afters is part of a very large shopping center and we didn’t have any proplems finding an available spot near this shop.
There was no line. No customers at all, considering my former co-​worker very highly recommended this place AND it is hot as heck on the day of our visit.
They are known for serving their ice cream in a bun but I just could not get myself to do it. I just really want to enjoy my ice cram without interference from a piece of bread. Tried to get the hubby to do it but he never did like the idea.
So I was left to enjoy my Lavender Tea ice cream in a cup and THAT was the right call. So refreshing in the middle of this heat wave. The lavender was so strong!
So was the Vietnamese Coffee ice cream. Well, it WAS Vietnamese ice cream.
Great flavors.

Stopped by for the first time for some ice cream today. The first thing I noticed was the sign outside. There wasn’t an official store name sign on the outer part of the building but rather, there is only the signs «Ice Cream.» Don’t know why, but very interesting.
I walked into the ice cream shop and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They let me sample the Jasmine Milk Tea and Churro flavored ice cream. I liked the Churro better but I ended up ordering the Jasmine Milk Tea because it was purple in color LOL. I got it in a cone and topped off with fruity pebbles. Boyyy, was that a mistake.
Although I did enjoy the flavor of the ice cream, the ice cream itself melted rather quickly. After taking a couple pictures of it with their nice wall décor, my friends and I went outside to eat. My ice cream quickly started to melt and it started running down the cone. I even got a spoon to easily eat my ice cream but that still wasn’t fast enough.
For me, this wasn’t very enjoyable. If I’m eating my ice cream off a cone, I like to savor it and take bites of the ice cream and the cone. With ice cream that easily melts this fast, I spent more time trying to eat all the ice cream and using napkins to hold my cone, rather than just enjoying the treat.
Overall, great and engaging staff and good flavors of ice cream but the quality of the ice cream wasn’t worth it to me.

Donut + ice cream. Brownie + ice cream. Cookie + ice cream. It sounds like anything with ice cream, wins.
Sugar overload. Came here after dinner for some dessert with a few friends. I got their glazed milky bun with coffee ice cream & captain crunch toppings. It was good & definitely packed with sugar! I thought I was going to go into diabetic shock. The Milky bun aka glaze donuts was ok, I thought is would be warmer. My friend got the lavender milk tea ice cream in a milky bun. She said the lavender milk tea would have been better minus the milky bun. The ice cream shop is a good concept but the main attraction really is their ice cream flavors & the milky bun. I think the ice cream is good alone, but if you’re looking for a sugar kick, this is the place. The staff is friendly and the place is clean, which is always a good thing!

Tried the mint chocolate chip and Cookie Monster flavor. Delicious!
The prices are pretty standard for ice cream shops $ 4/​scoop and the scoop was generous.
I tried the milky bun with mint chocolate chip and it was delicious. $ 6 I believe?
The warm, sweet, slightly chewy doughnut was perfect with the cold ice cream. If you like chocolate chip cookie a la mode then you will love this!
A bit messy since you’re served the milky bun in a paper envelope since the ice cream melts and the doughnut sticks to the paper, but it’s delicious.
My friends split one and the lady at the counter was nice enough to cut it in half and place into seperate containers. It’s just enough sweetness there.
Definitely ask them for help if you plan to share because it’ll be a huge mess if you try to split it by hand.
Cookie Monster and mint chip stained our mouths! But overall delicious and I would come back again.

You would think an ice-​cream donut sandwich would be too much, but it was amazing. Afters Ice cream is one of my new OC Go-​To spots.
Ambience: the place is tiny, no seats inside and a few seats outside.
Price: Pricier for ice-​cream, but the portions are pretty big
Milky bun: GET IT! Its the donut ice cream sandwich. I got the mint ice cream, with oreo in a glazed donut. I split it with my friend, so the size was perfect. Warning: Its SUPER messy, but its soooo good. The blue monster ice cream was also really good, but we ended up getting the mint instead.
Parking: EASY ITS OC.
Lines: We went at a weird time, so there wasn’t a wait. But I’ve heard the line gets very long for this place.
Will definitely come back if I’m in the area again! And will definitely recommend it to any friend in the area!

Really good! They have a selection to pick from. Towards the end it was a little too much for my taste. So next time I might try the ice cream alone or share. But definitely try the combination at least once!

One of the best dessert places I have been to in a while. Their milky buns are amazing and they have a great selection of ice cream flavors. The line was long but it was so worth it. If you love donuts and ice cream, you are going to be very pleasantly surprised!

so i said i wouldn’t return but it was near my work and i thought i deserved some damn ice cream for my hard work so… afters it was! thankfully around 9pm there was no wait and me and my coworkers got in fairly quickly. i liked that even though it was slower at the time there was still a large amount of staff which made the process go quicker. i decided the milky bun was still a little pricey (but still creative) so i opted for a scoop of vietnamese coffee (still the best one by far) with captain crunch topping.
i actually think i like the ice cream alone with the topping rather than in a milky bun. but i think i may come back to retry the milky bun when I’m feeling like i have a lot of dough in my pocket to spend and hopefully there won’t be a huge line out the door.
i def have to shout out the worker that helped me and my coworkers when i came in that day! Quan had amazing patience with our group as we literally sampled so much and helped my coworkers that hadn’t been there before with how the process works. also, he was extremely friendly and had great customer service!!! you go!!! someone give this man a raise!!!
anyways… you’ll probably see me again thanks to Quan’s superb service ill give this place another shot!

Disclaimer: I’m not an ice cream sandwich fan in general. Afters has revolutionized the ice cream sandwich by placing the ice cream inside of a glazed donut. I chose the vietnamese coffee ice cream topped with oreos inside the glazed donut. The hubby had churro ice cream inside the glazed donut. We also tried cookie butter ice cream and peanut butter smores.
I really enjoyed the ice cream and donut on their own. The two sandwiched together is a bit odd to me but that’s because I don’t like biting into cold things. The warm donut and cold ice cream combo was definitely unique.

On my birthday, I opted for Afters Ice Cream instead of birthday cake. That’s how much I like it!
This place offers a lot of quirky flavors and toppings (ex: cookie monster, churro, fruity pebbles, etc), but my all time favorite would have to be the Jasmine tea. It’s clean, simple, and subtly sweet. Complements the best with the hot donut, and tastes good even by itself.
Tip: the donut does not taste good to-​go. Eating there is recommended.

Deliciousness in a bun :)
I have been waiting forever and a day to come and try out this place! Finally got around to it.
I ordered the Cookie Monster in a glazed milky bun with fruity pebbles. Apparently you get one free topping, so might as well! They had a variety of flavored and toppings to choose from, so you can customize it however you like ~ and you can get your milky bun glazed or unglazed. If you don’t want a bun, they have cones or cups as options as well.
You get one big scoop of ice cream inside of the bun (which is basically a delicious donut), and the bun is warm! It all came together really well. I can see why some would say it was too sweet, because really, it’s sweetness overload. But I have a sweet tooth, and I loved it. If you think it’ll be too sweet, get the bun unglazed or opt out of the bun.
This location was fairly small, but there’s seating outside if you want to just hang with friends. &it’s not as packed as I thought but I’m assuming it’s because they have so many other locations now. There’s tons of parking because of it!
The service was great, and the guy was patient with what we wanted since it was our first time. I’ll definitely be back to try other flavors!

As a ice cream enthusiast, I do love me some good ice cream. But not this place LOL. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a big sweet tooth but I don’t think After’s Ice Cream lives up to its hype :(In fact, I’m not too sure why people rave this place so much. It’s really not all that great. I remembered when I first came here when it was newly opened in 2014… there was huge line and everyone was desperately wanting to go here due to all the hype. Dumb decision ever.
Anyways personally, I just think that the ice cream here is hella sweet. Like really… a glazed donut ice cream sandwich (or milky bun or whatever you call it LOL)? Um, hello diabetes. Just the ice cream alone is sweet but with a glazed donut on top of it is waayyy too much. I think of the flavors, the Cookie Monster is prolly my favorite of the bunch but I’m not too crazy about this place. Maybe I’m more of the artisan, boughie ice cream flavors but oh well…
Also, when will they ever have a proper After’s sign in front of the store? Haha oh yeah, tons of free parking. It’s a pass for me.

Came here after a meal and it was a little tough to find since they light sign «ice cream» wasn’t on.
I wasn’t planning on getting anything but the «vietnamese coffee» caught my eye. (I’m a sucker for coffee)
It definitely tasted like Lee’s coffee. I will be here again if I’m ever in the area!

I’m somewhat of an ice cream sandwich connoisseur. Cookies, donuts, garlic bread (no seriously, try it) — anything with ice cream in between, I’m down for.
This location is situated inside a plaza so there’s a huge lot for parking. Now, finding the place proved to be pretty difficult had it not been for Google Maps. I came at night and you would think you’d be able to see the sign lit up. Not at all. And the sign just said «Ice Cream» so I wasn’t sure at first if this was Afters. Either that or I’m just completely blind and didn’t see the whole sign.
There was no wait at all which was pretty surprising so I took my sweet time and made sure to sample everything I wanted to. My top two flavors are churro and Cookie Monster. Get the churro flavor with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and you could swear you became diabetic with all the sugar intake. But hey, I promise it’s really good if you’re into really sweet treats. Now I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to fully commit to inside their famous milky buns. They asked me what my favorite flavors were and I just said «I just want a really pretty Instagram picture.» Low and behold, they have a secret «Instagram Bun». They took their time making it and all it is is Cookie Monster ice cream inside a milky bun with Fruity Pebbles on top. They cut it perfectly in half to «make sure you get hella likes» according to the guy who suggested I order it. And hella likes I got. Thank you, Afters!
There are options to try the ice cream sans milky bun. Opt out of the few hundred calories and just go for a cup or a cone, whichever way works, it’ll still be reallyyyyyy good!

I didn’t know they have a location so
Close to my house! It is awesome… I went in a Wednesday night. There wasn’t line at all. The customer service was great. And the glazed donut with milk ice cream was delicious. Amazing !!

Donut + Ice cream? What can go wrong?
Bomb COOKIE MONSTER ICE CREAM. Ok milky bun.
Price: Look to spend about $ 5 for a milky bun w ice cream.
Parking: large lot
Food:
The milky bun is okay. With the ice cream, it’s just way too sweet.
I am loving loving loving the Cookie monster ice cream though. I LOVE chunky ice cream and this guy got some big chunks of oreos. YUM.
The food coloring adds to the name, but would be just as tasty without!
Notes: There’s no sign outside! but you can spot this place based on the CROWD.

I LOVEEEE AFTERS!!!
Why?
1. Unlike the other nitrogen or new or «cool» ice cream stores, YOU CAN SAMPLE the ice cream flavors before so you can make a decision based on what your taste buds tell you and not based on pictures! Yay!
2. Perfect consistency of ice cream texture. Not too thick and not too milky. My AFTERS ice cream in a cup was able to stay cold and not melt the entire drive home!!! Placed the AFTERS ice cream cup in the car cup holder and not only did my ice cream survive the drive back to Irvine, but my car cup holder wasn’t sticky or covered in ice cream residue!
3. 3 words (haha what a coincidence): MILK and CEREAL… Make sure you say YES to flakes!!! Just as much as sweet and salty go together, soft and crunchy is a pair made in heaven! You cannot go wrong with Milk + cereal… Tried it at other ice cream stores that offer this, but the AFTERS concoction is unbeatable. Also, if you get the flakes you can opt out of getting the milky bun and a cone because you get the added crunch and texture from the cereal flakes!!! (JUST DO IT & try it for soul)
4. Workers here are super sweet & friendly! 10/10!i

The first time I tried Afters was about a year ago when it first opened in Fountain Valley. Since then, my friends and I have made multiple trips to satisfy our craving for their unique flavors. We went to school near LAX, so this was a 30 – 40 minute commitment each way.
I came again today after a short hiatus from Afters and I am just as pleased with their ice cream and service!
Although they are famous for their milky buns, I typically get their ice cream in a cup because I think it’s easier to eat. I have had their regular milky buns and the donut adds a nice texture along with their ice cream. However, many of my friends think that the glazed donut makes it too sweet, so if you’re sensitive to sweetness, I would suggest ordering the milky bun with an unglazed donut!
Today I ordered a scoop of Milk & Cereal and Peanut Butter S’mores ($ 6.00/ 2 scoops.)
There are a lot of milk flavored soft serves out there, but I haven’t seen a lot of milk flavored ice cream. If you like the thicker and creamier texture of ice cream, go to Afters. It’s not too sweet of an ice cream so you won’t have to worry about getting sick of the flavor after two bites. If you like pretty food, Milk & Cereal is the most instagram-​able flavor in a cup!
Peanut Butter S’mores is also very satisfying, but probably only for those with a sweet tooth. There are fun textures like marshmallows and pretzels that add to its flavor. Definitely worth trying for the kid in you!
Their prices are as follows:
–Single scoop ice cream ($ 4.00)
–Double ($ 6.00)
–Triple ($ 7.00)
–Milky Bun ($ 6.00)
**If you want to have your double/​triple scoops in different cups, make sure to clarify or else you will be charged $ 4.00 for each scoop.
S/​o to their employee Andrew! He was incredibly sweet and patient when I was deciding what to order.

This review is overdue! The location it’s in has plenty of parking, but be sure to look for the sign that says «ice cream» in black letters. It is located next to Pick Up Stix. There were huge lines when the shop first opened, but luckily when my friends and I chose to go, the line was about 15 minutes.
It felt like playing a Mario game as we approached the counter. You know, like the game where if you fall behind the screen on the left side you have to restart and lose a life? Yeah, we felt rushed and we barely had time to choose as it was our first time. We did get to sample some flavors though, which was a nice touch. Out of the 4 of us that went, we ended up with only 3 orders of their famous «milky bun», which is a glazed/​non-​glazed donut cut in half with a scoop of ice cream in the middle with one topping.
For $ 5 each, it was quite sweet and did not meet my expectations, but the ice cream flavors were delicious to try at least once. They didn’t have churro ice cream flavor on the night that we went there, but that’s okay. Recommended flavors to try are their Thai iced tea, Jasmine tea ice cream with mochi bits, cookie monster with heath bar, and the famous milk and cereal flavor. I like their idea here, but I personally prefer to stick with churro, macaron, or cookie ice cream sandwiches.
My friends and I came back on another occasion to get a scoop of their cookie monster and mint cookie monster to compare, and I fell in love with their mint cookie monster! If you know me, I looove oreos and anything with cookies and crème!

Want an alternative away from Ice cream
on a cone or Cro-​nuts? Try After’s Milky Buns.
When I arrived here everybody that were seated outside had blue ice cream on their hands. So when I came inside to order, I wanted something that everyone got and that is the Cookie Monster Ice Cream.
The Cookie Monster ice cream is basically cookies and cream. Its thick and of course within the creaminess chocolate cookie bits. This one tasted alright but it’s hard to gage the flavor when the bread buns are already sweet. Nothing too special, but it being colored dye in blue to signify Sesame Streets Cookie Monster.
Their warm glazed Milky Buns was sugar infused and after having a bite of it, my mouth was like a fly trap. It was gazillion times sugary of an Krispy Kream original glazed. I suggest getting plain if you want to do away the mess and stickiness.
They update their list of top flavors and I also like to try out others like their Jasmine Milk Tea and Vietnamese Ice cream. Next time, I’d like to have their ice cream itself just simply in a cup.
I liked their cool and hip feel and much respect to the creativity. But, the combination of Milky Buns and Ice cream tasted okay. This place was the most talked about. Can’t believe the hype until you try it.

Sweet concept (obviously!)
A bit hard to find at night midweek when the line is not out the door but it is just to the RIGHT of the corner shop.
This shop isn’t much bigger than your average ice cream place but it is well designed for the line to move.
There probably isn’t much more I can say that others haven’t — it’s a yummy, messy, super duper sweet dessert that is a fun marriage of hot donuts and cold soft ice cream.
I tried to bring one to my husband in south county but it really should be eaten freshly made or else it just melts and turns a bit mushy.
The buns were soft and fresh, the employees were kind and humored my questions and need for details and the product is tasty!
It didn’t like blow my socks off to where id make the trip up for it alone but it was great to try a new and interesting desert and if I’m in the area I’d have it again.

Definitely didn’t regret the visit even though I was already so full!
I got the Milk & Cereal milky bun. There’s the option of a regular bun but why would you ever go for that?!
Let me tell you, they definitely captured the sweet, sugary milk taste like when you’re about to drink the bowl of milk after finishing all of your Frosted Flakes.
Thank god there isn’t any around me or my body would be punished by this glorious dessert all the time!

I’ve been wanting to come here for the longest time and finally made it here a few weeks ago! I heard that the line is usually very long, but we got lucky and barely waited 5min.
I ordered the cookie butter ice cream with a non-​glazed milky bun. My friend told me that the glazed milk bun is too sweet (especially with ice cream) so I listened to her advice.
The milky bun was hot, which surprised me. It was yummy but I had to eat kind of fast as I was very concerned about my ice cream melting!
This was actually very delicious and quite filling compared to just a scoop of ice cream. Next time, I plan to add a scoop of cereal, too! The crunchiness adds a good texture to the whole thing.
Mmmm :)

I came back here the other night with my boyfriend for a quick dessert run. Afters Ice Cream never disappoints! I ended up getting their pumpkin pie flavor because it’s seasonal, and my boyfriend got the peanut butter s’mores flavor. I’m definitely loving the peanut butter s’mores flavor! They have bits of marshmallows in inside. I’m such a fan! This might be my new favorite flavor next to the Jasmine milk tea.
Pumpkin pie was pretty good– I got chocolate chip toppings on top of it. It really tastes close to authentic pumpkin rather than that fake-​pumpkin taste.
Service is always amazing and everyone is super friendly & helpful!

Such a hype! From the outside the sign just says «Ice Cream» and the price isn’t too visible until you go in; I actually didn’t see it still but I know it was listed somewhere. What a genius way to lure people in! I would say though, that it was good to finally try it.
I tried the most photographed one: Cookie Monster in a Milky Bun. Mine didn’t look plump, and they didn’t sprinkle cookie crisps on top like in the instagram pictures, but instead mixed the cookies in. It was $ 5 and was super sweet. I’m not sure I’d get this again, but I will come back for my two scoops for the same price! I hear you can also do two flavors in a milky bun too, at an additional charge.
