“Let’s make ice cream!”

​

It all started in 2016, during one of our weekly long-distance calls, when the conversation drifted to our shared love of ice cream. At the time, Tiffany was in Regina, SK finishing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, while Anita had just graduated with a Bachelor of Education in Calgary, AB - though instead of heading into a classroom, she jumped straight into the family business.

​

As cousins and besties, we’ve always been wildly in sync; equal parts spontaneous, curious, and always down for an adventure. So naturally, we said “Let’s go for it. Let’s make ice cream!”.

​

Our love for ice cream goes way back. Growing up in first-generation Canadian households, homemade cookies and cakes (or anything that was “too sweet”) weren’t common. But, a bright yellow 4L tub of No Name Neapolitan? That was a guarantee. Ice cream became the treat, and as adults, we found ourselves craving bolder, more exciting flavours - flavours that reflected our identity as Canadian-born Chinese/Vietnamese. That craving turned into a little passion project we couldn’t shake.

​

In Spring 2019, we quietly opened “shop” with a tiny pop-up tucked inside our family diner, John’s Breakfast & Lunch. We’d work our day jobs then excitedly jump into our side hustle of handcrafted ice cream. The diner became our test lab for all kinds of creations - some hits, some flops. Huge shout-out to our family for washing endless dishes, keeping us fed, and cheering us on every step of the way.

​

Our dream was always to open a scoop shop serving unique, handcrafted flavours inspired by our roots - and in 2023, that dream became real! What started as a humble side hustle is now our main gig, and we couldn’t be more grateful to share it with you.

​

Milk Ice Cream Club specializes in unique flavours that are fiercely adventurous and nostalgically sweet. 

​

Our ice cream is handcrafted with care and we take pride in creating unique and adventurous flavours. We find inspiration everywhere - our upbringing, local products, travel, and just interesting ingredients we come across. A lot of the flavours we create are influenced by our Chinese/Vietnamese roots and by childhood nostalgia. We love creating flavours that we grew up with and we hope that some of these flavours resonate with you too.

​

Keepin' it real.

​

We keep it real here at Milk. We strive to represent our roots, promote diversity, and do good for our community. We use real ingredients and collaborate with local businesses whenever we can to bring you fresh & fun ice cream, one small batch at a time.
