Afters Ice Cream will be celebrating National Donut Day this Friday, June 1 launching a new Coffee Meets Donut ice cream flavor made with donut flavored ice cream with real donut pieces and a coffee swirl. The Instagram-famous ice cream store, popularized by its unique and colorful handcrafted ice cream, will also be giving away limited edition Afters Ice Cream “Anti Donut Donut Club” t-shirts with purchase of their signature “Anti Donut,” the ice cream stuffed, sweet, glazed Milky Bun starting 7 p.m. on Friday while supplies last.
“This is the first time we’re celebrating National Donut Day and excited to align ourselves with a day that not many think we would celebrate as an ice cream shop” says Scott Nghiem, chief executive officer and co-founder. Ngheim helped develop and coined the name “Milky Bun” in 2014 for their ice cream stuffed donut viral phenomenon.
“It’s safe to say the without the donut, there wouldn’t be a Milky Bun, so we wanted to make sure we do something fun for our customers in the tongue-in-cheek way they expect from us,” says Nghiem. “We hope to see our loyal customers and new faces this Friday, June 1, to celebrate National Donut Day with us!”
