    Cookies, cookies, cookies!
    Jay S.

    Good cookie spot, but the only cookie they really stood out was the TriplePB (3x peanut butter), the the kitchen sink was just too many different flavors. The service was very friendly and fast, and the ambiance was very cool, especially in the party area. I'm calling it the party area because it seems to be a spot where they teach classes or have some kind of cookie parties? Seems like it would be a great thing for teens or a fun friends group birthday type activity.

    This place is over hyped, I wish I would have read the reviews before spending $60 on awful stuff! The girl at the register was not friendly and really just kind of angry! We got 6 cookies (assorted flavors) and a birthday milkshake. The cookies were either stale or overcooked. They had this awful saltiness to them. The milkshake was just as bad! Awful place, rude staff! Sorry, not sorry!!!

    The good: delicious Milk bar pie, buttery, chewy, oat crust. Rich, dense cookies with lots of flavor. The pint ice cream they have is decadent. Very thick swirls of caramel. The BAD: $50 pie. One single thin slice is $7. Each truffle is like $4 with tax. It's really overpriced. Service was not amazing either. We asked the guy what he recommended, what was good and he said said. " no, it doesn't work like that." Um what? So yeah, kind of weird. I think this is a nice occasional treat but no pie is worth $50.

    Chocolate Wintermint Soft Serve & Cereal Milk Soft Serve with Cornflake Crunch

    I've been coming to Milk Bar for a few years now! The and quality of desserts here are amazing, and I love introducing my friends here when they're new to LA or haven't explored much of the dessert scene here. The baked goods are definitely on the sweeter side, so if you're sensitive to sweetness I'd be cautious. However, I personally love heavy sweets so this is def the spot to be! My usual order is their cereal milk + cornflake crunch soft serve ice cream, it's the perfect balance of sweet and salty that scratches my brain just right lol. Some other items I really enjoy is the Milk Bar Pie (SUPER sweet and rich, fyi) and the Kitchen Sink Cookie (amazing if you love texture variety). My boyfriend ordered the seasonal feature Wintermint soft serve, and it was delicious. Definitely a must visit if you're in the area, especially if you're already a fan of their truffles sold in grocery stores. Even better in person!

    The staff was very friendly and helpful, ordered a chocolate wintermint cup with corn flake crisps and it was delicious, they seat you outside or in the classroom if it's not in use( as they teach classes here) but the decorations and everything are very cute!

    I love milk bar! It's probably one of my favorite cookie shops. I have gifted various items via their website for friends over the years. I stop into the Melrose location whenever I'm in the area which I was a few days ago. I went in to try their strawberry shortcake soft serve which was good. I wouldn't say it's my favorite soft serve out there but it was a unique flavors. Of course their crack pie is always the winner. As odd as it sounds, the corn cookie was our favorite but they didn't have any, I hope it hasn't been discontinued. If you ever get a chance to try their holiday flavors like peppermint, it's a must! They have an adorable area where you can sit and relax...the room looks like it could've been part of their kitchen at one point. I don't think there's any seating outdoors. Milk is located in the same small shopping plaza as Winchells. There's about 10 parking spots onsite and street parking via meter or in the neighborhood but be careful and read the signs carefully.

    We celebrated my daughter's 13th birthday on melrose with some fun shopping and landed at Milk Bar with ten 13 year old girls. We ordered the classic cake and when we arrived, we were greeted by Mahalia at the register and Matthew in the kitchen. They extended such generosity and hospitality to us by allowing us to sit inside and get the girls out of the heat. It was the highlight of my daughter's day. Thank you for employing such warm hearted staff, it enhanced our experience exponentially. Mahalia and Matthew, we are indebted to your kindness.

    I hate this place, I hate their desserts, I hate what the business represents, and I hate that they are successful. When I tell you that the ice cream here tastes like a mistake I fully mean it. The claim to fame "cereal milk ice cream" legitimately tastes like spoiled wheat germ, it is shockingly unappetizing and and equally shocking is the fact that it's more than $3.99. This garbage should be free, I should be paid to get rid of it. I asked a very friendly staff member, "Is this what it's supposed to taste like?" she took a sample out of the machine and tried it herself. "yes." I stared in disbelief and she added on, "I know." The cookies are abhorrent, they're sweeter than walmart lofthouse pucks and 10X the price and actually have less depth. Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar. That's it, it's all sugar. Save yourself the money and buy straight corn syrup and drink it, you'll enjoy that about as much as the birthday cake cookie from this soulless void of a dessert shop. The mere concept that they also host baking classes in here is what I would call culinary terrorism. An affront to desserts as an artform as much as the desserts are an affront to taste as a sense. If you care at all about food, you should be angry that this place is in business. Would rate negative stars if possible.

    We tried the soft serve, the build-a-pint and the cookies as well. Service was great, and the ice cream was fantastic. They only had two flavors of ice cream and I went for the cereal milk ice cream one and completely loved it. I also paired it with a chocolate chip cookie and it went well. The flavor reminded me a bit of vanilla with a hint of salt caramel ice cream for some reason. Would definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again.

    Milk should be called "spoiled milk " honestly great atmosphere but we're not there for the setting. I had all these desserts that looked amazing but they had no flavor. Felt like I was eating a cardboard box. Nothing made me feel like the day I signed my divorce papers. Honestly just skip not worth the hype

    Oh my gosh! I can't believe I've never had the ice cream here. I ordered one with cornflakes and it was so sweet and salty with the cereal milk ice cream. I am definitely coming back. The ice cream is $7 and an extra $1.80 with the cornflakes. The people there smile when they serve you and the place is clean and inviting to sit and eat your desserts. They had samples of the milk bar pie and my hubby got a slice of that. My daughter had the cereal milk ice cream and couldn't finish so she took that home. There are places to park in the lot but this place gets crowded so "good luck".

    Love Milk Bar Pie Slice

    Always a staple. The ice cream is to die for. The bday truffles are a yes and I don't even like truffles. Miss the corn cookie. Sad!

    Cereal Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream $7.00 + Chocolate Cereal Crunch $1.50 = $9.31 total.
    Melissa W.

    Cute little spot off of Melrose! A friend recommended it for dessert, and as an ice cream girly, I was excited to check it out. They usually have two soft serve options -- a rotating flavor and their classic Cereal Milk. This month's special was lemon, which I was hoping to try, but unfortunately, they were out. So the choice was made for me. I went with the Cereal Milk Soft Serve for $7.00 and added the Chocolate Cereal Crunch topping for $1.50. After tax, it came out to $9.31. The soft serve itself was a bit saltier than I expected, but the Chocolate Cereal Crunch totally saved it. It added the perfect texture to break things up. I definitely recommend adding a topping. From the display, I thought the topping would just be basic cocoa krispies, but they were way better. It tasted like they mixed in some butter, cocoa, and sugar to make them extra tasty and unique to the shop. I also picked up an Oatmeal Cream Cookie and had it with coffee the next morning. It was soft and not too sweet. Overall, it's probably not a place I'd go out of my way for, but I'm glad I gave it a try. It's always fun to explore new spots!

    Ask the Community - Milk Bar

    Are items baked on-site? We are are considering driving up from Long Beach to visit for a treat, but don't want pre-packaged goods.

    All your goods are keto/low carb friendly?

    No!!! They sell cookies, truffles cake and ice cream - I don't think they sell anything low-carb or keto friendly

    Do lines form before opening?

    I don't think so.

    It's probably a long shot, but are there dairy free options?

    Yes! They had a vegan chocolate cookie 🤤. Not sure if it's always there tho 🤔

    How's parking? Is there parking available? Is it free?

    Yes, but parking is very limited. When I went it was a busy day. I suggest go early, or you'll park in the street.

    Can we walk in and just buy a birthday cake with writing or does it need to be pre-ordered?

    You can buy the cake without writing there. With writing requires ordering, but you can try asking and you might get lucky.

    Is there places to sit inside or outside?

    Yes to both seating. Both spaces are limited and on a first come basis. Plan your visit according due to overcrowding especially on the weekends.

    I was wondering, when ordering here on yelp, it says $6 for birthday truffles. Is that for multiple? Because a dozen is $25. But there's no option to buy the dozen here.

    The menu says a pack of 3 for $6 and a dozen gift box $24. Same price either way.

    Holy shiiit how did I miss this. When did they open!?

    Several weeks ago!! Def worth a try if you like sweets

    I noticed some items were prepackaged. Are they baked somewhere else or at the Melrose location? Milk Bar management, care to answer this question?

    Some of the prepackaged items are labeled as distributed from NYC. The other items such as the cakes are baked onsite.

    Do you have gluten free options?

    Yes! We have gluten free Birthday Cake and Birthday Cake Truffles, and two GF cookies - the Perfect 10 and the Best Freaking Cookie!

    How much are their cake slices?

    $9.00

Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

    Today, I went to Anko for dessert for the first time in a really long time…read more I used to come here very often a few years ago, but the parking was always difficult (Valet Parking and always super packed) and we usually had to wait quite a while, so I hadn't been back in a long time. After having a family dinner at Gabin Korean BBQ in this shopping center, we decided to stop by Anko for dessert. The owner recognized us right away and warmly greeted My Mom, saying how nice it was to see us again after such a long time. We used to be regulars here, so it was really nice to see her again. I think their taiyaki is the best in LA! They sell them in sets of 4 for $12. My Mom and my 2 brothers got the red bean-filled taiyaki and I got the Nutella and banana one, and it was absolutely delicious. The freshly baked taiyaki was so warm, and the melted chocolate Nutella inside was incredibly sweet and delicious. It was seriously so good! Every time I come here, the staff is always so friendly, and the taiyaki is always amazing. It's definitely one of my favorite dessert spots. This place used to be so popular that there would be a long line just to get taiyaki and bingsoo. There were still quite a lot of people here today, but we were able to order pretty quickly, and our taiyaki came out really fast too, which made me very happy. Back in the day, we would place our order and have to wait quite a while for the taiyaki to be ready. Today was definitely a much better experience!

    Pretty and cute desserts are in, but at what cost? Turns out, for Tu Cha, it's quite pricey. But at…read morethe very least, it's yummy. Tucked away under an apartment complex with limited parking, this place serves up trendy desserts shaped like fruits. But don't be fooled, they're quite delicious. I'm personally a fan of mango anything, so their mango dessert was a hit for me. The earl grey peach was decent but not particularly mind blowing. The raspberry dessert was quite good as well. Maybe next time I'll try the rest of the menu to round out my experience here. For what you pay for, you get a pretty small amount but I imagine the time to prep these desserts is quite extensive as seen by their constant replays of morning prep time on their screens. So that's Tu Cha for you, photogenic yet yummy desserts that cost quite a bit so get your wallets ready!

    My friends and I had to try the viral desserts at Tu Cha. They are so darn pretty with so much…read morelove, care and craft put into them. They open at Noon every day! Australian culinary influencer and Zumbo's Just Desserts winner Catherine Zhang is the head chef and you'll see videos playing inside the shop of her preparing the desserts. It's truly beautiful art and you're paying for it accordingly with prices varying from $13-15 for each dessert or more for bigger cake items. You can order easily on their touch screens which is nice for looking at all of the available options. I've tried two of the Petit Gateau (tiny cakes) - the My Man Go (Fresh mango, hazelnut praline, mango mousse) and the Berry3 (Strawberry coulis, pistachio praline, raspberry mousse, crimson velvet). In addition to being so darn beautiful, the flavor was just phenomenal. I loved both but slightly preferred the cubically adorable berry cake's taste. For me, it's the perfect size but you def need a spoon to break into the outer shell. Or if you want that TikTok/Instagram video biting into it, that works too. They also have drinks ranging from coffees to matchas to milk teas to tonics and teas ~ truly something to cover everyone's palate for imbibing. Evenings and weekends can get very busy so go on off hours or right at opening if you can. They have their own free parking just down the block from the storefront at 2850 W 7th St or you can try to find a slim pickens' street spot. Tu Cha is such a fan favorite for photos when friends are in town, but the prices are just a tad steep to be an everyday kind of spot.
