Milk Lab Cafe — Cary

MILKLAB on Tryon Road in Cary makes rolled ice cream and bubble milk tea, and it makes both from organic ingredients. The ice cream starts with grass-fed organic milk and homemade organic syrup.

The shop is firm about using only real ingredients, and that shows up in the tea as much as in the ice cream. It is the kind of place people stop at after dinner or on a hot afternoon, and the menu is built so you can put the cold and the sweet together in one order.

• Tea leaves are sourced from what the shop calls authentic tea farms.
