Service was fast, staff was great, the flavors are odd but tasty (part of the whole experience), and the only reason this is 4 not a 5 is because of how small the shop is. I ended up getting an ice-cream filled donut. Yes they make these on the spot πŸ™ŒπŸ½ This place needs to expand. Open till midnight too, this is a great little date night, nightcap with friends/family, or simply a late-night fix to curb some cravings. Will come back to try some more flavors out.

The Milky bun was yummy! I recommend ordering it with a less sweet ice cream because the bun itself is already extremely sweet! We ordered it with french toast ice cream and cookie crisps! The ice cream itself tasted like churros, highly recommend eating it without the bun. The staff was also super friendly!

Milky bun was great !! i would’ve given it 5 stars but the ice cream always melts down to liquid once i bring it home with me so you should only be eating it in your car but other than that the service is great each time i come here and getting there and leaving is quick too. you can tell they’re good at taking a lot of orders at once

They do offer sampling and have unique ice cream names, however Ice cream is packed with food coloring and will easily dye your mouth. They have a small variety of toppings to choose from. And its over priced!

Get the Milky Bun, you will not be disappointed, I promise! That was probably the best dessert I’ve ever had in my entire life! For the Milky Bun, I ordered the almond ice cream with Oreo cookies, absolutely amazing!They had Apple Pay available, nice during COVID-19. We will definitely return!!! πŸ˜ƒ

The sticky bun ice cream sandwiches are really good. The ice cream is very simple but done very well. The classic vanilla is amazingly creamy, very rich and perfectly sweet. The Jasmine tea ice cream is incredible. The sticky bun sandwich is the star of the show. The sticky bun is nice and warm with the contrast of the cold ice cream is a beautiful marriage. ItDoesnt really matter what flavored of ice cream is inside this sandwich, you will enjoy it. They also top your ice cream with several toppings of your choice including cinnamon toast crunch. Get them. Good icecream shop... Would like to see a shake on the menu but other than that nothing to complain about.

We love Afters, their milky bun is our favourite. Its a (supposed to be) warm glazed donut with ice cream and one topping of your choice inside. We went to this store on Saturday 17th before 4pm there was a sign on the door that the staff would be back in 30 mins. We and other people started to line up and tried to open the door a couple of times it was locked. We waited until 4.30pm then someone opened the door and came inside. We didnt know how long it had been unlocked since we saw no one inside. It was really hard to miss for the staff to see a line of people waiting to be inside but no one welcomed us. A great ice cream place needs a great service too, right.

You definitely have to visit the Afters Ice Cream and order the Milky Bun!Riverside University Village location:Open Daily from 2pm - to midnightNo Mask No Service(Milky Bun is a heated, sliced glazed donut with your choice of cold ice cream placed in the middle as an ice cream donut sandwich.)So many ice cream flavors to choose from and cool toppings you wouldnt have thought would go with ice cream.My sons swear by the Milky Bun with the Milk & Cereal Ice Cream and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal topping! πŸ˜‹The Best way to describe this combo is after eating all the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, leaving only the milk and you decide to dip a glazed donut in the milk and therefore, you have a Milky Bun!I had a Milky bun with French Toast Churro ice cream and sprinkles for a topping. My hubby had a Milky Bun with Triple-C ice cream and mini-M&Ms topping! Whatever you choose you cant go wrong! Enjoy this fun tasty dessert!

Review β„–15

Its like a 3.7 mainly because the price is too expensive for not too special ice cream but the donut ice cream was quite enjoyable so Ill give it a 4. Main problem is that it tastes very normal for too high of prices. Rather go to something like sonic for cheaper and get more for my money

All the flavors at Afters are so good, its hard to pick one. Another reason why we keep going out of our way most of the time for Afters dessert. Black Matter Brownie Batter and Mango Sorbet are my favorites. Their Milky Bun is a specialty not to miss.

Review β„–24

Always a favorite to come here after getting dinner with my friends somewhere else in the plaza. The milky bun is absolutley disgusting, i dont recommend getting that. The ice cream makes the donut gross and hard from the coldness of it. Their ice cream is what you should come for. The jasmine tea and hot coco is great, but my favorite is their Rick and Morty dark matter brownie batter ice cream. Top notch but will stain the hell out of any clothing or upholstery thats not black.

What a busy place. Be prepared to wait outside, limit 10 people inside including staff. Menu is simple but theres a variety a icecream available, french toast churro tasted like horchata, sons cookie monster was cookies n cream, mango sobet was light and not too sweet, milky bun is best paired with simple vanilla or sweetness can be strong. Toppings available for extra cost. Theres seats outside to Enjoy.

I havent been here for a few years and finally went again last Tuesday. Awesome ice cream as usual. I pray they stay open through this plandemic. Im not ok with having a mask on though. Stop listening to our governor! You guys are awesome and I understand you have to comply with the rules but when you on deep into the rabbit hole, you will see its not about a virus. Have a blessed weekend! #wwg1wga

We decided to finally try Afters Ice Cream after I have been wanting to go for a while. Ive seen posts on Instagram and family members have recommended them to me as well. It was the best decision ever! I got the Cookie Monster Milky Bun and he got the Cookie Butter Milky Bun. They were warm, and perfectly portioned and very delicious. There was a small line when we arrive at 10pm-ish but we got out pretty fast. The employees were super friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations to us new customers. Definitely recommend for a late night ice cream trip or if you want to try something new and different. You wont regret it

The Milky Bun is one of the best things I have ever eaten. At the peak of my patronage I probably bought ice cream from this place three to four times a week. Was it healthy? No. Was it worth it? Yes. Every single $7 I drop on a Milky Bun is always worth it. I will be having Afters Ice Cream at my wedding.

Review β„–46

Called this location and drove 30 miles to get here. Specifically asked if they required masks to enter the store and the guy that answers the phone told me that we recommend it and but do not require it. So it was a total waste of mine and my families time to come down here. When there was 9 of us and lost a hundred dollars of my business. I would not recommend going to this franchise, when you are told one thing and they do another. I understand in these time that people are afraid of dying over a .03 death rate flu but this is ridiculous.

Review β„–52

I love afters and all but I don’t understand why they are opened till midnight if they don’t have buns during the night. Might as well close earlier for not having what your most known for. So, if you’re someone like me craving some afters at night call to make sure they have buns if your planning to buy a milky bun lol.

My man and I went last Wednesday..I got the Milky bun with the Almond Cookie ice cream and cinnamon toast crunch topping, my man got 2 scoops, 1 each of Almond cookie and French toast Churro ice cream with cinnamon toast crunch topping. BOMB!! We will def be returning. We tried many flavors and only the milk and cereal so far isnt my thing. It taste like capt crunch and I never liked that cereal. Good place!!

Review β„–54

Always love this place and when i have that craving... Im there! Great people behind the counter always respectful and courteous. I usually get three scoops for me and one scoop for my dog. And it pretty much the same flavors... Thats. The reason for the four star instead of the five if they could come out when I dont know maybe a new flavor month or more I would show up more than once or twice a month

Review β„–55

Gotta get the milky bun, thats their special thing. A donut (you can choose glazed or non glazed) sliced open and filled with a scoop of their ice cream. And its a fair price for $7 is quite filling.I like getting cookie monster and afters flakes.

YOU HAVE TO TRY A MILKY BUN!!! I always get a milky bun with Jasmine Milk Tea ice cream and Cinnamon Toast Crunch as my topping. Its an explosion of delicious awesomeness in your mouth. All the flavors are unique and delicious as well, ask to sample whatever catches your eye. Theyre always really nice and helpful here as well. You really cant go wrong with any flavor you choose. I could literally eat another two just to satisfy my inner fat kids insatiable indulgence of quality food and treats lol

Excellent flavors that excite your tastebuds and make you question what you expect from ice cream. A fun group of people work here and give the honest recommendations.

Je
Review β„–66

The ice cream is OK here, but there are a couple of downsides. First is their excessive use of dyes. I get that its a cute shtick to add blue to cookies and cream and call in Cookie Monster, but so much dye was also added to Dark Matter (brownie batter flavor) that it left our mouths purple and shall I say stained our experience. My second issue with Afters is that the scoop-size does not warrant the price. If it were all-natural ingredients I would understand, but the offerings were of no higher caliber than your average packaged candy or Thriftys scoop. If they change their recipes, Ill give it another shot.

Finally got around to trying this place and it was great. The service was excellent and they were really cooperative while I tried a few different kinds of ice cream before I selected one. The doughnut the ice cream came in could have been a little warmer/fresher, but it was still delicious and was well worth the time regardless. Will certainly be back!

The ice cream was delicious! The problem was, when we arrived the store was closed because the store had a sign that they were on break for 15 mins. Yes, we waited. When they got back, it was only one person working and it was a line of about 15-20 peopleπŸ˜‘ I suggest that since the ice is so great and many come for it, they have at least 3 people working so that it is always 2 people on the floor and they can get breaks without closing.

Review β„–92

Dont know who decided making an ice cream sandwich out of a warm doughnut was a good idea, but it isnt. Or at least, it wasnt when I tried it, as the pastry itself didnt taste fresh at all, the texture was off-putting, and the whole thing turned into a melted mess within seconds of leaving the establishment. My fiancΓ© tried a scoop of cookie monster and said it tasted fine. For ~$15, we could have gotten a couple pints of Ben & Jerrys and been much more satisfied. Expected better quality for what we paid, definitely wont be going back.

I absolutely loved this place. My co-workers brought me here for my birthday yesterday and it was our first time. It was amazing. The warm sweet glazed bun with churro ice cream topped with after flakes ... talk abt aphrodisiac. And the best part about it is they are open til midnight !! I will definitely be coming back to this place.
