After helping Milk & Froth transition from a food truck to their first brick and mortar location in downtown Detroit, we collaborated again to expand to Ann Arbor. This location continues the same ASCII art-inspired design program that was created in Detroit.

Then a new element entered the chat: a large red wall.

Milk & Froth Ann Arbor Front Elevation

Already from the exterior the red wall is visible. As you move inside the shop, it becomes the main story. Tucked into this wall through openings of varying sizes are niches for enjoying handmade ice cream as well as the counter where customers are served.

Our favorite flavor? It's a toss up between Black Sesame and Matcha Pistachio.
