They’re celebrating Milk Jawn’s official opening by offering free cups of ice cream to the first 100 people who show up on Friday August 5th at 5pm!

But back to some of the history behind these tantalizing frozen treats: Milk Jawn was originally started by Amy Wilson as a hobby in her kitchen in 2012. However she eventually grew Milk Jawn into a business with the help of her friends--and now Co-owners—Ryan Miller and Cathryn Sanderson. Together with her partners, they launched a delivery-only business while also vending at various pop-ups and farmers’ markets throughout Philadelphia and its suburbs during the pandemic.
“We’ve been saying that this day is two-plus years in the making, but really, it’s a decade in the making,” said Wilson in a press release. “I never thought a hobby of mine would turn into a business, but I get to work with friends and make and eat ice cream daily, so I certainly can’t complain. It’s been a long road since we started looking for our first storefront, but after a lot of hard work and grinding through some red tape, we are very excited to open our doors and bring a premium ice cream shop to East PassyunkAvenue, which we believe the neighborhood needs.”
Wilson said Milk Jawn has also made it a point to be a more inclusive brand when it comes to people with food allergies and dietary preferences, as they have recently added a number of vegan, non-dairy options. Their Mango Sticky Rice ice cream is coconut-cream based, with other vegan ice cream flavors that are pea protein-based.
“People are really starting to catch on to the fact that we’re offering vegan, non-dairy ice cream,” said Wilson. “We’re really proud of the customer base we’ve been able to attract. Our goal is to have all of our ‘all-the-time’ flavors available as non-dairy to those who are on non-dairy regimens, as well as for those who simply try to limit their consumption of dairy. We absolutely don’t want to exclude anyone who loves ice cream.”
