The Milk House Ice Cream - Pingree Grove, Illinois

The Milk House Ice Cream is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. They took the time to share the story behind their homemade ice cream, which made the experience even more special. You can really taste the love and dedication that goes into every scoop.

Not only is the ice cream rich, creamy, and full of flavor, but the cone itself is also homemade—and it’s absolutely delicious! The texture is perfectly crisp, with just the right amount of sweetness to complement the ice cream.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a treat. Whether you’re a fan of classic flavors or looking to try something new, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed!

Amazingly delicious and sweet home town ice cream shop. Unique flavors (key lime pie, bake sale lemon bar, blue moon, toasted coconut macaroon, grape sorbet) as well as classics (vanilla, chocolate, cookies & cream, triple syrawberry). The ice cream flight is a unique venue item. A couple outdoor tables & chairs and picnic tables. Red barn also has seating.

Absolutely the best ice cream find!!! Super cute little shop. Christmas in July flavors is such a cute idea. Santa was even perched outside. The Lemon bar ice cream was absolutely amazing. It has chunks of lemon that really made it perfect. The Salty Honey pie was very unique and had a great flavor. We also got a couple of cookies to go and they were on par with the ice cream. We are definitely going back and bringing grandkids with us!!

My first time here, homemade ice cream and cones gives this place a top rating in flavors and quality. The old but well maintained barn and patio gives a nostalgic feeling to the experience. Thank you Milk House!

This is the best ice cream shop I have ever been to. Such a hidden gem! My absolute favorite ice cream flavors are the toasted coconut macaroon and cantaloupe. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out. You won’t regret it!

Best ice cream ever. My favorite is Vietnamese Cinnomom, but I tried the Sweet Cherry Chip today. Is was yummy, too. Hubby liked the Pistachio.

I felt like I was in a horror movie when I went here at night. There were ~15 people sitting outside on benches but no one was saying a word. We passed the barn to see another 20 people sitting in absolute silence staring at us. Guess it's those people's fault for being weird not Milk House.

All the ice cream had a weird taste and the consistency of slime. Props at least for a memorable experience, maybe just don't go there at night.

I'm almost afraid to rate this amazing hidden gem in Pingree Grove. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The locally made ice-cream is out of this world. We sampled the lemon bar, triple strawberry and black walnut. All of them were great!

First time at “ The Milk House “ -

The ice cream shoppe has a Barn type aesthetic and the ambiance is very countryside with some beautiful art around it.

It’s definitely very popular in this area because it was very busy!

The ice cream(s) tasted very fresh and flavorful - If you are in the area it’s a must if you are in the mood for ice cream.
