Milk Jar Cafe is a creative beverage destination where owner Hung crafts inventive drinks like rolled ice cream milkies and customizable milk teas that feel more like edible art than standard coffee shop fare. The energy here is playful and interactive—you'll watch your drink come to life right in front of you, and the staff moves with impressive speed despite the moody, dimly-lit space that somehow adds to its charm. Whether you're grabbing a quick Oreo or Strawberry Banana creation or settling in to build your perfect drink with custom toppings, this spot has earned genuine loyalty from Cincinnati's specialty beverage enthusiasts.

Service was quick and there was lots of options. The store seemed poorly lit and we questioned if it was open. The drinks were great. We had the Carmel pudding and strawberry milkies. Both were very large portions and for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend the strawberry milkie if you were a fan of strawberry milk in elementary school.

The strawberry banana with vanilla rolled ice cream was delicious! I originally ordered strawberry banana with matcha base but the order was mistaken as vanilla for which the staff very quickly fixed the issue and made me a second one. I ended up liking the vanilla more than the matcha! I didn't like the toppings I ordered on the matcha ice cream (animal crackers, Reese's puffs; The strawberry pocky was a better choice among all). I think I enjoy the ice cream with no toppings better! The matcha latte was pretty good, asked for 25% sugar and it turned out perfect!

So good, so sweet, I'll be back for more. The fact that they show how to roll ice cream is entertaining, next time I'll tip more because it's worth tipping. You can also add whatever toppings you'd like. ❤️

When you come to explore the great consignment shops and specialty stores, make sure to start by grabbing a Milk Tea from Milk Jar. Sweet, full of flavor, and with so many choices, you can't go wrong. My wife wanted to try something different and got a caramel macchiato milkie latte with boba last time and loved it. Tri was really great with our family. He even walked out to our table to check on how we liked our drinks. Really good service. The Milk cap on top is like a sweet cheesecake foam and is really different for me but was delicious. It is a dollar add-on. We drank our drinks before we took any pictures, so I guess we liked it. 😀
