ANNOUNCED: Milk Jar Cafe
Hyde Park’s Milk Jar Cafe plans to open a second location by July at 7743-D Tylersville Road in West Chester Twp., according to co-owner Jimmy Lin.
Milk Jar Cafe serves authentic bubble tea, Thai-rolled ice cream and a cereal bar with offerings like Cinnamon Apple Pie, which includes Apple Jacks, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and graham crackers with a caramel drizzle, and Choco Loco, which includes Reese's Puffs, Cookie Crisp, M&M's and chocolate chips. Cereals also include make-your-own options. Popular teas include Classic Ceylon Black Milk Tea, Jasmine Green Milk Tea, Mango Jasmine Fruit Tea and Strawberry Matcha Latte.
Ice cream at the Hyde Park location includes flavors like Cookie Monster, (Oreo with vanilla, matcha or coffee), Monkey Business (banana and nutella); Unicorn Poop (Fruity Pebbles and caramel); and Java Lava (condensed milk with coffee). Toppings are unlimited and include more than 40 from which to choose including cereals, candy, cookies & nuts, fruit and drizzles.
The full menu for Milk Jar Cafe's West Chester location has yet to be finalized, he said. Size limitations mean it likely will not include ice cream, but will include bubble tea, poke and grilled food, Lin said.
