The vibe inside has gotten pretty corporate, so it's harder than it should be to believe it's good. But my cookies were perfection, and competitively priced with the inferior ones you'll find at a coffee shop. I went in on a Saturday at lunchtime and there was no wait to order. I went with a chocolate chip cookie, a triple peanut butter, and the famous compost cookie. Rich, soft and gooey insides. A perfect treat. read more

've loved Milk Bar ever since I watched the Chef's Table episode featuring Christina Tosi -- it made me fall in love with her creativity and the whole playful vibe of Milk Bar. I'm honestly not a huge sweets girl, but I love thoughtful, fun desserts. If I'm going to indulge, I want to feel like a little kid in a candy store -- and that's exactly how Milk Bar made me feel. I got a slice of the Confetti Birthday Cake and it was perfection. Moist, nostalgic, and just pure joy. My husband ordered the Milk Bar Pie and was equally obsessed. I have the Milk Bar cookbook at home, and this visit totally reignited my excitement to try some of the recipes myself. Such a fun, happy little treat spot. read more

I walk by all the time and finally stopped in for an afternoon pick me up. I got the cereal milk latte (iced). It was reasonably priced for $6. It was really yummy! Not too sweet. It came in one size and was a little smaller than I thought but I think the ratio of everything was good for the portion. You order at the counter and pick up your drink at the coffee bar in the middle area. read more

Very cute interior and staff were so friendly and helpful. I didn't get very much cereal milk flavor from the soft serve, maybe more of a milk soft serve. I wish they had more cereals as toppings, but the topping the employee recommended to me was delicious. I can say I've tried it now, but this trip mainly gave me inspiration to make my own ice cream. read more

This is definitely a must try dessert spot for one main reason: cereal milk soft serve. It was kind of difficult for me to decide what I wanted to try, but the simplest decision came down to haven't I had, which was the cereal milk soft serve. The simplest suggestion I say is get the cereal milk soft serve with the corn flake crunch or cocoa cereal crunch. Or do what I did where I got both toppings, cookies & cream soft serve on the bottom and cereal milk on top. The best way I can describe it is literally through the name. It is like the end of when you're done eating your cereal and the milk is all sweet from the cereal. The compliment to it is the crunchy topping that I believe may even have a little salt to make it taste even better. The area is spacious as there is plenty of room to enjoy your dessert. This place even has more room than most restaurants in New York. Simple dessert shop with a variety of desserts but you must try the cereal milk soft serve at least! read more

Came in an hour before closing, everyone in there was acting pissy for no reason. The shake was saltier than a french fry. Ambience was not great. It would have been fine if we didn't catch the workers in there glaring at us every 5 mins. We might have just gotten unlucky. read more

Such a lovely package came from a dear friend from Milk Bar! What a beautifully packaged gift box filled with sweet goodies! From cookies to cake balls to the Milk Bar Pie-every treat was more delicious than the next! Since I got this package delivered-I cannot review the ambiance and service but the car in the package has me to believe it's wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely birthday surprise! read more

I finally did the "Greatest Hits" run at Milk Bar, which includes the Birthday Cake slice, the Milk Bar Pie slice, a 3-pack of B'day Truffles, and a Compost Cookie. (Pro tip: don't try to be a hero and eat this all in one sitting unless you want a literal heart palpitation). I've been chipping away at it over the last two days, and it's the gift that keeps on giving. The Birthday Cake and Truffles are basically nostalgia in edible form, like the best possible version of Funfetti, but denser and way more addictive. The Milk Bar Pie is the richest thing I've ever tasted: it's salty, buttery, and gooey, so a few bites at a time is plenty. The Compost Cookie was the real MVP for balancing things out, though. The bits of potato chips and pretzels give you that salty hit you desperately need after all the cake. Overall, it's definitely a splurge, but everything keeps so well in the fridge that it's worth the haul. It's super sweet, so definitely have some water or black coffee on standby, but if you have a sweet tooth, this is basically the promised land. read more

It was an easy experience to order a full cake for pickup which I appreciate -- it's also a very large cake for what you get, which was good for our large group. I can't speak to the ambience as we got the cake to-go, but it was a smooth pickup process and service was good We've had their cake before (I think a red velvet cheesecake?) and it was amazing, but their seasonal strawberry shortcake did not hit as hard unfortunately. It was a bit too sweet for me, and I wish there was more vibrancy in the jam. not bad but could have been better. read more

We're here in New York for 2 weeks and we just left a 5 day stay in Brooklyn and we're now in The Big Apple, exhausted, stuffed and semi conscious. Tonight was Hotel room service for dinner and I thought an early to bed evening - Wrong! My wife wanted dessert and our hotel didn't offer it. Help - Yelp! I've been a Milk Bar regular since 2010 and always loved their assortment of "Goodies". There original store was in the East Village and I frequented it a lot. Low and behold, there is a Milk Bar right near our hotel and got: Two of their Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies that my wife wolfed down One Chocolate Chip 'N Chunk Cookie and one Law and Order Donut cookie I've been eating Chef Tosi's for over 15 years now and (I guess) that makes me a bona fide patron. What can I say, I really like Milk Bar! read more

We got the cereal soft serve. The dessert hit the spot and you can see why this brand has become an nyc staple. Inside it's a little dirty, but we were there a little late into the night, so that could be why. I would recommend you swing by here or any of their locations to feed your sweet tooth read more

I came here for dessert one evening and thought that it was a cool spot! The interior of the space is bright, spacious, and clean. The service was quick. I got their cereal milk soft serve with cereal toppings and it was good! It tastes exactly like how milk tastes after you eat cereal, and was definitely an interesting flavor to try. My friend said that it's a flavor that has to grow on you, and I can definitely see that. At first I was unsure, but as I ate it more, I started to enjoy it more. I also loved how they put the cereal toppings at the top of the soft serve as well as at the bottom! read more

I love this Milk location. This is their NY flagship location so it's alive, festive, & bigger than the other ones I've been to. Decent sized dining area, tons of seating available. They have a huge pastry case of their offerings. Soft serve / ice cream & coffee also available. They have all the products here since it is also where they ship online orders from. My favorites: Milkbar pie (crack pie for those that know it), the compost cookies, corn cookies, & the birthday cake. The birthday cake truffles are also a good option. Items range from $7-15. Tons of cookie bundles / tins / packaging options. Overall, pretty pricey for what you get. Flavors are good but nothing over the top. The crack pies are not as flavorful as I remembered and the slices definitely got smaller. But I still recommend trying this place. read more

Overall, I had a delightful experience at Milk Bar. The individual helping me with my order was extremely bubbly and willing to offer recommendations as I mulled some options. Reason for a docked star is she almost forgot an item and also made me the wrong shake, but I did not complain because i knew it would still be enjoyable. Just be prepared to spend $$$ - this place is not cheap (which at least I knew going in!) read more

$19 for ice cream, okay here we go: The good: Creative take on soft serve Toppings work well together The bad: The soft serve tastes too much like milk. I felt like I paid $19 for a cup of milk with sugar mixed in. They only offer 4 different mix ins for the layers, could easily offer 10 It was $19 Overall: The flavors work well together sort of. I want to give it a 3, but this $19 price is just too underwhelming. It's a 2. I'd say if you go to milk, try their cakes instead. read more

Came here with a friend after hearing great things about the cereal milk soft serve with the crunchy cereal topping. It was definitely unique and creative--I'll give it that. The texture was fun, and the presentation was on point. That said, the flavor didn't quite hit the mark for me. I usually love cereal-inspired desserts, but this one leaned a bit too salty for my taste. It's an interesting concept, and I can see why it has a following, but personally, it just wasn't for me. read more

Milk Bar is located in the first floor of The Ace Hotel. My friend and I went after dinner and it was packed. All the options were delicious. Service was prompt even though it was packed.

I was walking by K-town and finally decided to try their popular milk bar pie out of spontaneity. The service was quick and the people there were very welcoming and helpful. After trying the milk bar pie, I can say it lived up to the hype. It tasted somewhat like a flan but in pie form. However, the price was pretty high for just one slice. I wouldn't go again because of that, but it was a nice novelty. read more

Heard good things about this place and had some family in town so we decided to stop in. Perfect dessert or snake place. Soft serve ice cream and you can add toppings. The flavor is cereal milk which is an interesting and unique flavor. They also had cookies and plenty of cakes. There was also a custom section if you wanted to create your own cake. The cereal milk flavor was good. Adding the toppings was a good move. Next time I'll try the cookies and/or cakes. They have seating and a store here as well. Staff was nice and they nice to enough to walk us thru the menu being first time visitors. read more

I'm not sure that Milk Bar lives up to the hype. They are a little overly sweet for me. I got the compost cookie, confetti and corn. I'd say the corn was the best of the three. It's very interesting and different flavor. read more

The pie really is good. I've only tried the milk bar pie, but yes it was yummy. I'll probably just get it again next time I go back.

Was passing while strolling back to my hotel and nipped in for a little treat. There were a handful of other customers inside but not too busy, it was post-dinner on a weeknight. Got a slice of the classic birthday cake to go. I was pleasantly surprised by how moist and delicious it was even though I got it at 8PM at night and not earlier in the day. There were other seasonal treats available, good mix on the menu. Would pop back in if in the area. And of course, Milk Bar is a NYC staple and a dessert lover's dream. read more

Milk Bar is just another dessert place. It is not that special. It's overrated and overhyped simply from TV exposure. The desserts are non-traditional, but I am not sure they work. For example, their signature birthday cake has crunchy cookie crumbs in it. To me, those crunchy cookie crumbs taste like random crystals that do not belong in a cake (1 star off). For happy celebratory moments like birthdays, you expect a slightly sweet, smooth cake that easily melts in the mouth. After taking a bite, you want that "Ahh this bite makes this moment special" feeling. After a bite of the birthday cake here, I get a "What the heck is this hard thing" feeling instead. This applies tp their other cakes as well. The red velvet cheesecake not only has crunchy cookie crumbs, but it also has crunchy chocolate chips. So when you take a bite of what you expect to be a smooth cheesecake, you get that "What the heck is this hard thing" twice (1 star off). Don't even bother ordering their birthday cake for shipping. After a day or two in transit, it is no longer fresh. I ordered one during COVID pandemic and it tasted several days old. I wanted to visit this flagship store to give them another chance. The storefront ones do taste more fresh than shipped ones, but the storefront ones can even be a day or so old. Their "truffles" are non-traditional as well. They are more like cake pops mashed from leftover cake scraps and frosting. I was not into them. Lastly, the bathroom is gross (1 star off). For a cute bakery like this, I expected they would take some care to make their bathroom cute, or at the very least clean. It is messy and smelly. I will tell you that the only thing I like from the Milk Bar is their milk-and-cereal soft-serve. It does give you a comforting lazy Saturday morning milk-and-cereal feeling...like you wish you could eat this soft-serve for your birthday instead of their cakes. read more

I had been wanting to come to this place for years. So when we came we got a sampling of everything. The birthday cake I had had previously and it was delicious. The one we had shipped to our house tasted the same in the shop. The crack pie was just what I wanted to be. So so good. The cereal milk ice cream was surprising. It was more salty sweet than I was expecting so may not be for everyone. The cookies were awesome. The corn cookie was like sweet corn bread so I loved it. The compost cookie was great too. Overall big fan! read more

Oooh Milk Bar, how I love you! Christina Tosi is a hero of mine, and it's always a privilege to be able to eat at one of her places and have the sweets fresh. I got the chocolate cake and one of each cookie (to share, partly). The cake was one of the best desserts I've ever had- and I don't even like cake usually! The icing was perfectly sweet and the cake was moist and delicious. Couldn't get over it. The store worker also boxed everything up nicely after I mentioned I need to travel with them, which was super helpful. The cookies have all been wonderfullll, too. So worth the extra effort to get to this shop at the end of a long day of sightseeing. Definitely will always recommend this to anyone who's asking. read more

It would seem that some people got the wrong expectation about Milk Bar from Chef's Table on Netflix. Is Milk Bar some sort of exclusive gourmet patisserie that you have to order a year in advance from? No. It's a spot that makes damn good sweets and cakes for everyone. I was very impressed with everything I ate. Was it really sweet? Yeah. And I enjoyed every second of it. That said, some of the other offerings at Milk Bar are a little hit or miss. The cereal milk latte? Fantastic. The seasonal cookies and cream latte? Not so much... So, your milage may vary on stuff like that. But if you are there for the sweets, you won't be disappointed. read more

Went to the infamous milk bar. Packed at 8 pm but the line was fast and friendly. Daughter felt the cereal milk was too sweet but the cornflake topping was crunchy and sweet and delicious. $7 for a cup, $1.50 for the extra topping made it pretty hefty for dessert but it was pretty rich so didn't need the larger size (as much fun as it might have been to contemplate the make your own pints ($16)! 10% off if you're staying at the Ace next door and show your card. read more

As a New Yorker (not a tourist) who stopped by for a quick ice cream at night, I was genuinely shocked by the level of customer service at this location. This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst customer service experiences I've had anywhere in the world. There were four employees behind the counter and a manager packing boxes, yet not a single person acknowledged guests walking in. The setup is already confusing, since the cashier is at the end of the counter instead of the beginning, and there was absolutely no guidance, no greeting, not even a simple "good evening." Everyone was left standing around trying to understand how to order. When we finally moved to the cashier to place our order, we waited about three minutes with staff staring at us, making faces, and even laughing amongst themselves, completely ignoring that we were ready to be helped. It felt dismissive, intimidating, and incredibly disrespectful. This review is not coming from someone trying to take advantage or cause trouble. I am polite, I am local, and I understand how busy hospitality can be. But this was not about being busy, this was a lack of basic professionalism and care. To the owner: please pay attention to the customer service at this location. The brand deserves better. If this continues, it will genuinely hurt the business. read more

Good coffee. If you have a sweet tooth you should run and not walk to this place. Some off the wall interesting flavors .

Came to Milk Bar around midnight and there was a short line and plenty of seating. I ordered the cereal milk cup with cornflakes and I don't know what I was expecting but it was so good. The ice cream was creamy yet light, not too sweet. The cornflakes offered a crunchy texture without being overbearing. This was actually so yummy, and may be my new favorite dessert in the city. It is a bit on the pricier side, around ~$9-10. Also the cereal milk is the only flavor of ice cream they had. I asked about their ice cream flavors and the cashier looked at me like I was stupid LOL My friend ordered the birthday cake and I personally thought it was so so. The cake was refrigerated so it tasted a bit stiff. read more

After eating the main guy had a sweet tooth so we dropped in on Milk Bar. They had cookies and cakes as far as you could see. If you're trying to stay on a diet, that's not where you wanna be. The staff was friendly and helpful. they have plenty of seating for small or large groups. The only negative thing I have to say they didn't have any coconut products if you're around Broadway 27th 28th St. and you're craving sweets give them a try and you won't be disappointed. read more
