Hidden Dessert Gem in Chicago’s NW Suburbs — MILKCOW 🍦

I first spotted MILKCOW’s dreamy soft serve on IG, but it was too far from downtown to justify the trip. After moving, it’s only a 10-minute drive from my new place — so I finally made it happen! 🍯 #3 Milky Cube – The soft serve itself is incredibly creamy and smooth — honestly richer and silkier than Jeni’s these days. Topped with a piece of real honeycomb that adds natural sweetness without overpowering the milky flavor. Pure harmony! 🍪 #10 Cookies & Cream – A classic done right. That same velvety vanilla ice cream loaded with crushed Oreos and a whole cookie on top. Double the crunch, double the joy — a match made in dessert heaven. 🍵 The menu also features Asian-inspired flavors like taro, matcha, and pandan, and the decor is adorable — filled with cute crochet items and cozy vibes. Not a chain, just a heartfelt, delicious local spot. Highly, highly recommend if you’re in the area or willing to make the drive! 📍 MILKCOW Cafe 240 Hawthorn Village Commons, Vernon Hills, IL 60061 #MILKCOW #SoftServe #ChicagoIceCream #SuburbanGem #VernonHills #DessertLovers
