Small spot. Ordered a slice of the B'Day Cake and one of the Milk Bar Pie. Both were so delicious, but the pie was the unexpected hit. read more

I haven't been to a cake bar location in years, I use to love their signature The Birthday Cake. I was walking by on a Saturday night and I saw that they had a Cereal Milk Matcha Latte on the menu so I came in specifically for that. The service was fine, everyone was friendly. The space is small and doesn't really have any seating...made for grab and so as they only have some thin floating bar to stand at. I ordered a slide of the Birthday Cake, cup of the Cereal Milk Matcha Latte, and a chocolate chip cookie. I was told that the fresh chocolate chip cookies were out but they did have the packaged kind, which was fine for me. The matcha was much too sweet for my taste because the cereal milk overpowered the matcha. The slice of cake was ok, not as good as I remembered in the past but it has been a long time and it was also late in the day. All in all not terrible but I don't think I'll be rushing to come back read more

I lack a sweet tooth but I completely understand why this place blew up during the dessert craze a few years back. I'm not big on buttercream or cream cheese frosting (I'm more of a whipped cream guy) but the special blend they have in their Birthday Cake doesn't overwhelm me. It's nostalgia done right. Ultimately, if I had to pick one dessert, I'm on team Milk Bar Pie (née Crack Pie). The filling really hits the spot when I'm in the mood for something gooey and custardy and those last few bites of oatmeal cookie crust blow me away every time. read more

Celebrations abound at milk bar! Excellent location for a birthday or just a quick treat. The decadent creations not only look good but taste good. Great service from our server however she was the only one on duty and this place is very popular so it got crowded very quickly Not a lot of space to sit so it is great for grab and go . read more

Stopping by the original Milk Bar in Brooklyn feels a little like making a pilgrimage bc this is where the whole dessert craze kicked off. The vibe is simple and unpretentious, almost surprising when you realize how big the Milk Bar brand has gotten since. I went straight for the classics: Cereal Milk soft serve and a slice of Crack Pie (yes, I know they renamed it, but let's be honest, everyone still calls it Crack Pie). The soft serve tastes exactly like the milk at the bottom of a bowl of cornflakes... weird, nostalgic, and oddly addictive. The pie was dense, gooey, and so sweet it made my teeth ache in the best possible way. It's not a huge spot, and the menu doesn't overwhelm you with options, just the core desserts that made Milk Bar famous. Was it the best dessert I've ever had? Maybe not, but there's something fun about eating something so simple and clever that it spawned a whole dessert empire. If you're in Brooklyn and have even the slightest sweet tooth, it's worth the stop. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the sugar rush, and leave knowing you just checked off a little piece of NYC food history. read more

I stopped by this little hole in the wall location and got the pumpkin coffee cake slice that I've been seeing all over instagram. Upon entry, I notice it was dimly lit, and really tight inside. There were 2 people ordering and then after I joined the line, two other people came inside and the store became packed. The girl at the counter was really friendly. The slice of cake itself was $11. It wasn't the biggest slice, but it was tasty. The pumpkin flavor really shined through and I get why it's really popular on social media. I probably wouldn't get it again until it comes back around next fall, but it definitely satisfied my craving. read more

Milk Bar - $11 Pumpkin Coffee Cake Slice - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The cake was moist and arrived on time from my Uber delivery. It has a great taste and very sweet, however it's not what I expected. The Birthday Cake is not even nearly or remotely close to Birthday Cake flavor, in fact both cakes taste as if they're made with way too much cream cheese. I was definitely not expecting a cream cheese taste. Had I wanted cheesecakes I would've ordered somewhere else. The cakes are also very small for the price. It was great to try but it's a no for me. If you're looking for chocolate with buttercream or Birthday Cake flavored cake, this is NOT it. These cake slices definitely have a cream cheese type frosting as if you're eating a cheesecake. Not bad but not what I ordered or wanted. read more

I've been to Milk (Brooklyn) on a couple of occasions and decided to try the pumpkin pie bar. I highly anticipated trying this limited offering and upon trying it wasn't what I expected. I could taste the pumpkin and the spices but nothing warranting me to give another try. It wasn't anything special in my opinion. I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this specific dessert. read more

I stopped in for a slice of their birthday cake and birthday truffles. The birthday cake is moist and fluffy, with a touch of lemon. The truffles are rich, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Pricey, but great for a special occasion! Employees were friendly and efficient. read more

I haven't been to a milk bar in ages. I'm glad that this place is opened so late. I was searching for a spot that doesn't close when the clock strikes 9 or 10pm. I really wanted the strawberry shortcake cake truffles, but it's seasonal so couldn't get it. The new seasonal truffle that will come out so they said to wait for that one. However, I did get the make your own or build your own pint. Really cool what goes in it! It was tasty! I don't think you can go wrong with what goes in your own ice cream pint. I will definitely go back and make it again. read more

I was exploring in Williamsburg and came across this cute ice cream/cookie shop and had to check it out! It wasn't busy at all so I was attended by a nice gentleman who let me sample both the Cereal Milk & Toasted Marshmallow ice cream before deciding which one I wanted. I chose the Toasted Marshmallow ice cream with torched mini marshmallows. What a yummy combo! I also got the Cornflake white chocolate chip marshmallow cookie which was both interesting and delicious. read more

Not much really to review. Milk Bar is a well known place in NYC for dessert. They offer items ranging from single soft serve to milkshakes to full sized cakes. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but if you do, then this place is for you. I got the crunchy cereal milkshake. It tasted good, but it's definitely a lot for one person. If you're in NYC, it's something you should try, but I don't think I would actively seek it on the day to day. It's a good treat every once in a while. prices are on the higher side, but that's because you're paying for a name brand + NYC prices. read more

Milk Bar - Cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love Milk Bar products, been buying birthday cakes from them for years now. But just this past weekend, we ordered a dozen cookies to be delivered to a friend's house so we could enjoy them for dessert. We did not open the bag until we wanted to eat them and instead of 12 cookies, there were 8, but I was still charged for all 12. Their customer service system told me to call the store directly, which I had and have been doing again and again, but nobody ever picks up the phone and there's no voicemail system. So, since nobody seems interested in refunding the money they grabbed from me, then they'll never see another dollar from me again. Which is unfortunate, because we have enjoyed their products. I think my next step is to recoup the money from my bank so they don't see a single penny of it, because this is just trifling. read more

3.5 stars. I've actually never had Milk Bar cakes before and have always wanted to try them. I got a slice of their classic birthday cake as well as a slice of the chocolate birthday cake. Honestly, I think it's overhyped. Both were too sweet and the cakes itself weren't very moist (although it wasn't necessarily dry either). The cakes were very crumbly and the frosting was definitely on the sweeter side, which I was already anticipating. The birthday cake slice had small pieces of crunchy crumbs that I actually thought was a bit too much. The chocolate cake had chocolate chips within the cake and had the same frosting. Definitely need to try yourself to judge the flavors and I'm glad I got to try it but be prepared for some sweet cakes. They also have cookies, ice cream and other popular items that I've tried and enjoyed in the past but definitely on the sweeter side. read more

I've only had bad experiences here: 1. Someone got me a gift card here and it took them literally 15 minutes to figure out how to enter it into their system for me to use it. Then when I asked them how to check the balance they said they don't know 2. The interior looks really rundown. Behind the counter is a bunch of old industrial fridges. I get that interior design isn't everything, but it really feels like they put zero effort into the appearance of the place and it just looks sad 3. The products are really expensive for the size that you get 4. I've gotten cake here 3 times and every single time it was so dry - like cake you would get from the grocery store for $2 except this cost a lot more than that 5. Customer service is very slow. I went in last time and there were only 2 people in front of me but the person working the front desk was nowhere to be seen. I waited for 5 minutes then I just gave up and left and got some cake from Martha's down the street instead This just feels like one of those brands that put a ton of money into marketing but no money into the things that matter like ingredients, ambiance, good customer service. The woman who started all this had some Netflix show about her and she was obsessed with the idea of using unconventional ingredients in her desserts like corn flakes. Super fun idea but the execution has been horrible. And of course it's not the employees fault it's managements fault for not giving them adequate training. If I'm going to spend my hard earned money at least put in some effort. And I would get if these problems happened one time but they happened again and again on different occasions. Instead of this place I recommend Martha's if you want big cake slices and wide variety. I also recommend patisserie Tamoko. Now THAT is a place that cares about quality. Their Japanese pastries are incredible and their customer service is top-notch. Martha's is closer but Patisserie Tamoko is better in terms of quality. read more

Glad to be able to get a warm baked cookie even during covid. The restaurant/seating area isn't open but you can order through the window. Within a few minutes you can have a warm treat handed to you through the glass. They sell a lot of their merchandise here too. The blueberry and white chocolate cookie wasn't my favorite. They're definitely known better for their confetti or compost cookie- and it's so much better than the box they sell at target! read more

I got a slice of their birthday cake and it was honestly so mediocre. Don't know why this place is so hyped up... Their cake frosting was too sweet. The cake itself tasted old and stale, unlike what I was expecting it to be. Very basic and probably wouldn't buy it again. read more

Customer Service did reach out to make amends, and a new cake is on its way. My issue was never the quality of their products, as they are delicious, especially their gluten-free birthday cake. My problem was with the tone of their response. FedEx also contributed a huge bit to this experience because they did not follow directions. All they had to do was open a screen door like every other delivery service does. Thank you, Milk Bar, for taking the high road. read more

I have been avoiding writing bad reviews lately but had to make an exception for Milk Bar. For years, I've avoided going there because their stuff has waaaay too much sugar. So much sugar that my tongue is raw after eating a couple of cookies or a slice of their "crack pie" (I believe it's been renamed?). But first and foremost, they do not participate in the neighborhood Halloween tradition of handing out candy or even a cookie?? Milk Bar has made quite a name for themselves, despite my own personal disappointment with their goods, so why be such a nincompoop with kids on Halloween??? Boooooo!!! (Not the scary kind, no pun intended). Also, the thought of eating corn flakes flavored milk had always wanted to make me vomit bc it seems like I'm eating the leftovers someone else's cereal (saliva included). Ew. Hopefully Milk Bar decides to join the fun this Halloween. They seem to be geared towards marketing for kids so seems like a no-brainer. For now, I'll continue to refuse to purchase this brand on store shelves or at their storefront no matter how much my kids beg. I just ask them if they want a raw mouth and upset stomach. read more

Really disappointed in customer service and quality. I'm from Florida so i was looking forward to this place. Had a pickup order set for 9:49 and showed up at 9:45. The ice cream and cake was just sitting on the table. I told them i had a pickup and the lady said "it's one of those bags right there." horrible then got in the car for a 10 minute drive and i get home to the ice cream being milk. liquid everywhere. never again read more

Came here on a day they were doing a deal to get $1 soft serve and for that price I think the ice cream was alright, but I don't think I would ever pay full price for it. The cereal milk flavor is definitely underwhelming compared to the amount of hype it has. Also my ice cream was already melting quickly the moment I was handed it. read more

I bought into the hype of milk bar and decided to splurge this year to celebrate a friend's birthday. However, after getting this dropped off by my doordash driver (delivery & packaging was great), I realized that I've been making the correct decision of not splurging all these years. The actual sponge is great, but the frosting of the cake is absurdly heavy and sweet. Was it too hyped up to me? Maybe. Am I just not the right client base for this? Probably. But I figured if it's $55, it has to be a good cake. Albeit, I was mistaken. Would pay $15 for this on a good day. read more

Completely under whelming. My son is at school and wanted to send him a treat. Ordered online. I put in 10:30am delivery time but when order was complete I saw it was changed to 1:30pm. I called right away to have it adjusted. The young women could not have been more rude. "We don't change online orders". Okay. Son said the pie was delicious. Cookie and truffles were average. For $15 it's not much and not really worth it. read more

I ordered the pie slice and it was pretty tasty - like butter and brown sugar flavor with a gooey texture. I was excited to try Milk Bar for the first time but the experience was a little odd. The woman working was on a phone call and I felt I was interrupting her conversation. The price is pretty high for the small size/experience but it's a popular name so that factors in a bit. read more

This place is called MILK, but in reality, it should be called SUGAR. I tried 3 different items and they were so sickeningly sweet that they had no other flavor besides sugar. The "Crack" Pie, or whatever they're calling it now, is simply disgusting. My friend tried the cereal milk ice cream and she said it was just ice cream. Overall, just awful. read more

Anytime you need to buy someone a cake I definitely recommend the birthday cake. I've got it for people who don't even eat sweets and they have thoroughly enjoyed it. Milkshake wise I recommend the one that has corn flakes in it. read more

They don't pile up as much soft serve as the DC location but otherwise delicious as usual!

So the cereal ice cream wasn't for me and I probably won't be going back. It did taste like the milk of cereal but a bit more salty than anticipated which through me way off guard. Honestly, I would give this a 3 but I love Christina Tosi so much so I can't do that to her. The cookies were good though! The cookies with some ice cream on top was a good combo. It is a bit overpriced, definitely overhyped, an "instagram spot", but an experience that I'm glad I had cause I would have continued to wonder if it tasted the cereal milk or not. read more

I had a piece of strawberry shortcake and three cookies delivered via Caviar during these pandemic times and the cake really hit the spot. The cookies not so much. I also had birthday cake delivered to a friend during the pandemic and it made her day. I ordered "for a later time" and I think it confused the system as Caviar first brought her the wrong delivery but replaced it shortly after. I also used the Milk Bar website to order a tin of cookies for a friend who lost her parent and it brightened her day. And I also used the same website to order my sister out of state a Milk Bar sampler gift box for Mother's Day and she loved it. I didn't realize it was a mixture of perishable and non-perishable items, so she needed to be there for its arrival. It's all about the cake, pie and soft serve in my opinion. Would recommend in that order. read more

The cookies have gone down hill since changing to pre packaged. They used to be that perfect firm, chewy cookie and now they are dry and crumbly and the taste is slightly off. The milk bar pie (crack pie) is still good tho! I hope they can reformulate the recipe for the cookies to make them enjoyable again! But they probably won't because they are like corporate now or something, right? read more

I took the class with a friend after seeing the Netflix show. While it was a fun thing to do on a Saturday I don't think I would recommend it to anyone for that price (a little steep). It was just putting together an already baked layers of a cake, I thought I would learn a little bit more. I loved watching her on the documentary series and I don't feel like the class was worth it and I would rather have spent my day at one of the milk bar shops and bought cakes and pies ect. This is not a baking/design class. The atmosphere and instructors were great and full of energy and wonderful and is the reason why it gets 4 stars because of their hard work and the amount of attention they provided to each group! read more

Unfortunately, my most recent Milk Bar Williamsburg experience wasn't as good as my past visits. The birthday cake slice, which I was excited for, didn't taste fresh. The cake was not not moist and the icing was a bit harder than I remember, which was disappointing. Maybe I came on an off day and got an older cake? For $11 a slice, however, I was expecting more. Staff was friendly. read more
