St Johnsbury, Vermont
Hand-spun gelato, locally roasted coffee, and a counter full of neighbors — this is where St Johnsbury comes to slow down.
Our Story
Milkhouse Ice Cream was born from a simple conviction: the best desserts don't need a fancy address — they need good milk, real fruit, and a little patience. We started small, right here on Portland Street, and let the regulars do the rest of the talking.
"If you've never had our cardamom-roast gelato on a Tuesday night, you haven't really experienced St Johnsbury."
The Experience
We built Milkhouse for the lingerers — the people who want a reason to stay five minutes longer.
We're here seven days a week because good ice cream doesn't keep a schedule — and neither do we.
Every batch is mixed by hand, pasteurized, and aged overnight. No shortcuts, no industrial freezers doing the work for us.
We sponsor the little league, host open mic nights, and keep the lights on for anyone who needs a warm chair and a cold treat.
Our menu changes with the seasons and the local harvest. If it's not at its peak right now, it's not on our board.
