Milk Bar

Milk Bar is a sweet (and occasionally savory) shop that’s been quietly shaking up the dessert scene since 2008. Bon Appetit magazine called us “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country.” But you can literally just call us Milk Bar...

The cereal milk soft serve with cornflake crunch: YUM! Just when you think all the crunchies are gone, they save some for the bottom so the true cereal experience continues until the very last bite.

Felix Abarca

The team at this location is fantastic, incredibly helpful. Everything is so good here, you can't go wrong with anything, specially the Cereal Milk White Russian ????????

Village Voice

An unconventional trip back to the pastries of childhood, in their corn cookies and crack pie . There is sure to be nostalgia in every bite. #5 on Tejal Rao's 10 Best Pastry Shops in New York

Melissa Perez

If you have a sweet tooth, try the crack pie ! ???? It's full of flavor and textures which I always appreciate. The staff is kind ????and answers any questions you have ⭐️

Momofuku’s Milk Bar houses the richest delicacies in the city like amazing alcoholic or virgin milkshakes , soft serves , pies , cookies as well as pork & vege buns . Read more

Compass

Christina Tosi’s bakery is known for its “crack pies ” and “compost cookies ” and while those are exquisite, it’s the offbeat flavors of frozen yogurt that set it apart from other sweet eateries .

Megan Johnson

Cereal milk ice cream - nailed it! Love the blueberry & cream cookie , and the Yuzu Cherryrita (with tequila ). It's sweet! Also of note - they have Mexican Cokes here!

K & J

The shakes are really unique and were amazing for an after dinner pick me up :)

Jack Hofland

Crack pie is only thing to go out of the way for. It's amazing. The rest is solid but can only be so good by the nature of what it is.

Sunny Hui

Their soft serve milk icecream is okay.. Would only recommend if you're a big cereal fan! Must try their crack pie , my all time fav

Kourosh Behnam

This place has some obsession with mixing cereal in every desert . The cereal soft serve ice cream gets old after the first couple of licks. Compost cookie was the only good thing I had.

Cameron Ketcham

The pretzel milk milkshake is the best.. get it if they have it! Also the crack pie soft serve ice cream .. so good!

T Marie

Be sure to try the cereal milk soft serve before going all in. It's yummy, but trying to eat a whole cup before it melts is a task for 2!

Thom Finnarn

Cereal Milk soft serve and Crack Pie are the two legendary options... Don't go for the Quake combination, it's too much... Enjoy them separately.

Tiffany Leigh

Their Cereal Milk-flavored soft serve with the cornflake crunch... they leave some in the bottom of the cup, so that when you are finished it's exactly like the finishing a bowl of cereal! Delicious.

Katie Eytch

Over-priced, only need to have it once, trendy ice cream .

Leigh Quindara

Not sure what the hype is about. Nothing I've ever had here was any good. Even the cereal shake , which was pretty cool for the first minute I drank it, became bland and boring pretty fast.

ingrid lopez

Pork buns at Milk bars are different from restaurants (more like a gigantic dumpling ) but also tasty. crack pie is a crack!

Hannah Parvaz

Hands down the best (soy) hot chocolate I have ever had.

Duncan PJ

Too lazy and fat to chew your own food anymore? Try a pretzel milk milkshake they are amazing ????

Mer Ici

Breads and meal deals are best here. Go egg & cheddar with a corn cookie & cold brew . They also have buns !

Serious Eats

Whacky flavors of soft serve , sweet cake balls, and giant, chewy cookies are the hallmarks of this bakery .

Pramod Pai

Here students will grasp every techniques needed to whip up popular toothsome treats from the acclaimed cookbook (plus some newer recipes) at home. Read more

Ashley Mowrey

Unless your cookies have arsenic in them, I will rate you highly. Momofuku is no exception, 10/10 hearts for creative sugar usage!

Kev Skinny

Fruity pebbles cereal milk shake . Confetti cake birthday balls. Best treats you can dream up in your dirty little mind.

Evva Kraikul

Cereal milk is absolutely delicious. Go for the location in Williamsburg for better quality - the one at Union Square had a strange consistency in addition to bad service.

Ray Lin

The cereal milk shake will be one of the best things you'll ever drink. Like childhood in a cup.

Eduardo Assunção

Didn’t really understand the hype. Everything is flavorless, it tastes like sugar. I’ve tried the ice cream , a milkshake and the crack pie (the only thing I believe is eatable).

Raja H

Over-priced baked goods that you may not find elsewhere, but worth it on days you just want to treat yourself. Everything here is delicious.

Nicholas Tinsley

Birthday Party Shake is good but a little strong. You have to drink it in the building (you can't even sit outside)

Mike Chau

Try the Maple Cream Cheese Soft Serve - All 5 flavors in one day. I feel sick. This was the best one though.

Christina Chin

Fun baking class behind main store front. Bday cake truffle ftw

Alex Robertson

I'm always angry when I see that tiny slice of crack pie ($6) slide out of that box. But then I taste it...

Cap'n Slipp

The latte here is roughly 3/4 nitrogen , oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide, all of which are completely free of cost just outside.

Kisha Chandler

Delicious and different creative flavors. When on the North side a must try.

Lissette A

The "Cereal Milk " ice cream is awesome! But you have to get the "crunchy corn flakes " topping. Taste just like a bowl of cereal!!! :)

Laura Marìa

Cereal milk ice cream ! Goddess creation, so so yummy.

BKbybike NYC

Passion fruit chocolate chip icecream is heavenly.

Kushal Dave

The cereal milk white russian is delicious, with just a hint of booze. Protip: You can ask them to split it into two glasses.

Michelle A.

You MUST get the pretzel cake soft serve if they have it. It's their best flavor soft serve .

Gaby Gingola

The boozy milkshakes are good but very decadent so you're best off splitting one with a friend

Jessica C.

Cereal milk was just OK. The cornflakes really made the experience. The bday truffles are freaking amazing though!

Elysia Mann

The cereal milk soft serve is worth the hype time and time again and I don't even eat cereal

Mike Chau

Try the Oatmeal Creme Pie Soft Serve - Very good, maybe the best one in the current rotation of flavors

Adelina Taftsiou

Interesting place. The cereal milk ice cream flavor seems to be the most popular item selling. It's good, but I feel that too much of it is nauseating.

Davy Kesey

The cereal milk milkshake is overrated, in my opinion. It's basically salty ice cream . The service was pretty subpar too. For all the hype this place has, my experience was only 5/10.

ᴡ Liz

I just don't love this place. I've been here 4 times and I have to say this place is all hype.

Tatiana Diaz

Once you go Cereal Milk soft serve with Cornflake crunch, you NEVER go back to plain old ice cream !
