A Montrose destination for creative ice cream is coming to the Heights. Milk + Sugar Creamery will open its second location this Friday, July 14.
Located near Chi’Lantro BBQ in the Heights Forum development at 1324 N. Shepherd Dr., the new Milk + Sugar provides the four-year-old ice cream shop with a new outlet for its signature ice cream flavors that come with chunky mix-ins such as brownies, cookies, or swirls. Popular options include the Sundae Funday (sweet cream ice cream with brownie chunks and fudge ripple) and the City That Never Sleeps (coffee and pretzel ice cream with chocolate flakes).
“We create flavors that you can’t find in the grocery store aisle,” owner Chou Wong tells CultureMap. “We create a full dessert in a scoop . . . We love creating flavors you didn’t think could be in a scoop of ice cream. ‘Life is too short for plain vanilla’ is what we’ve adopted as our motto.”
In addition to the core menu, 25 percent of Milk + Sugar’s offerings are seasonal specials. For July, the shop is serving one it’s calling Red, White + Blue: (red) velvet tres leches, (white) sweet cream, and (blue)berry purée.
Wong, who founded the shop in partnership with her husband Perry, adds that the couple selected the Heights based on customer demand. Simply put, they noticed that enough of their customers made the trip to Montrose to justify coming to the neighborhood. Despite consistent interest, she says they only recently felt that time for expansion had arrived.
“We’ve learned to roll with the punches and that mishaps will happen, but with a strong staff — we’ll get through it,” Wong says. “That’s when we felt ready — when the first location was filled with a great team we could trust.”
Milk + Sugar will celebrate the new location’s opening with 20-percent-off scoops and cones from 6 pm until midnight. The shop will open daily at noon after that.
