Meet the Milky Bun—a brilliant marriage of hot and cold, sweet and even sweeter. Imagine a hefty mound of ice cream, embellished with crispety crunchity toppings, sandwiched between a warm glazed doughnut. I dare you not to swoon.
Dreamed up by Scott Nghiem and Andy Nguyen, the Milky Bun made its debut at Afters Ice Cream in Fountain Valley. The first location was so immensely popular that another outlet sprouted up soon after in Chino Hills. Most recently, the Milky Bun crossed county lines to a third store in Long Beach. That Milky Bun sure is going places…
For those who dismiss this concoction as a passing trend or gimmick, let me assure you that Milky Buns are the realest of deals. Get here. Get one.

Cold ice cream and warm dough is my jam but I’m going to have to wait until it comes closer.
Long Beach isn’t *too* far, Darin! Plus, you can get some tasty Cambodian eats while you’re in the neighborhood.
Donuts and ice cream?! Say it ain’t so
