Momofuku Milk Bar

I love this place and my favorite believe it or not is the sugar cookie. These cookies are so soft and chewy. The cereal milk is good too. I actually like their milkshakes with liquor. Yummmm; but uou have to drink it in the store. Only downside to that is ther’es barely any room to even stand in line. Over all i’ll double park anytime of the day to get me a sugar cookie on my home

EH! Nothing super crazy here. High/​late-​night munches. Minimal seating. Feels like a closet.

Much smaller than the location in DC. As much as it pained me not to order cereal milk soft serve, I changed it up (slightly) and ordered a cereal milkshake.
Also got the cake truffles in all three flavors bc why not?

This review is for the Birthday Cake I ordered online to pick up at this location. I emailed MilkBar to reserve the cake and they were so helpful and prompt at answering my email.
When I arrived at MilkBar the day of my reservation there was a line out of the door (which speaks volumes for the establishment). I walked in and walked to the pick up area where I was helped right away. My cake was all ready for me to take it to go and I had made payment online so I was able to get in and get out. As parking is not so great in Williamsburg.
We had the cake that night and Oh My God. It was amazing!!! The frosting, the cake, the cake truffles it all culminated into some of the best cake I have ever tasted in my 26 years on this Earth. Thank you MilkBar for an exceptional birthday cake !!!

On a food tour of Williamsburg with friends we had to stop by Momufoku for their Amazing crack pie! Coffee and ice cream is great too. They stay open pretty late so a perfect spot for that sweet tooth fix in the middle of a night of bar-​hopping and totally with the wait!

Milk Bar is sweet. Come to this Brooklyn location for your sugar fix.
I like Milk Bar. They have a large menu, unlike most ice cream stores. Shakes, cookies, yogurt, soft serve, granola, and so much more. Walking into Milk Bar is like walking into a Katy Perry music video. The colors are pinks, pastels, and bright. There is very little seating, so you might be sharing a bench with two other groups or standing while eating your sweets.
The desserts are really sweet. I only come to Milk Bar when I want to indulge myself. I can feel my heart beating faster, and the sugar rushing to my blood. Diabetics beware! I wish they had some options that had less sugar, fat, and/​or dairy. It would be nice to take my dad, but he probably wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) eat anything here.
I don’t like the crack pie soft serve because it’s so damn sweet and buttery, but the cereal milk is nice. It has a saltiness to it that is really unique to Milk Bar.

We stopped in for dessert after some dinner and drinks nearby.
We had the cereal milk ice cream topped with corn flakes. In terms of flavor profile, it tasted just like having a regular bowl of corn flakes at the breakfast table (especially when the ice cream melted at the bottom). The ice cream was creamy but not as rich as other soft serve ice cream that I’ve had.

Ordered: Cereal milk soft serve
Pros – The service was quick.
Cons – The ice cream tasted like frozen milk with the added crunch of corn flakes. While the name fits the ingredients, I was not impressed with the flavors.

I mean. The reputation precedes this place and it is an absolute must stop every time you are in NYC or Brooklyn. Well… if you are a sweet tooth that is. Although they do have cream cheese stuffed bagels too. And over Thanksgiving they have these Thanksgiving Croissants that are to die for. I wish I could get them in LA year round!
My favorite items have to be the birthday cake truffles, the cereal milk soft serve with topping and the corn cookie. Ah! The corn cookie. It is sooo perfect! I also really loved the pretzel milk but I think they stopped making that sadly. And I recently had the seasonal chocolate malt turffles and loved them.
The pumpkin pie truffles and the crack pie are not my favorites. A bit overrated if you ask me.
The counter service has always been good and they let you get samples of the soft serve.
Next time I’m there I need to try the boozy shakes!

I came here on a sprinkling Saturday afternoon. Thankfully it wasn’t packed. I got the cereal milk soft serve with corn flakes and it was magical! The soft serve really is soft, thick and rich. It also melts at a faster rate so watch out.
Note: They have lots of items to choose from, including alcoholic concoctions!

Not sure how I had no idea that this had opened on Metropolitan Ave, so driving t passed it we pulled over to check it out and grabbed a few items to try.
The Thanksgiving croissant — I almost have no words; it’s brilliant and wonderful. The flavors are a perfect Thanksgiving rolled up into each bite. Absolutely delicious.
The birthday cake balls are magnificent and the compost cookie is in a league all its own. I love the sweet and salty balance that it provides.
Milk Bar is not your standard bakery so don’t go in there expecting as much, but be open to trying what they have to offer because it’s pretty amazing.

They have an unique cereal milk ice-​cream that makes this place worth coming to & checking out!
Reasonably priced at 5 $ and an extra 50−75c for sprinkles or cereal crunch. The portion is filling and satiating having you feel like you’re drunk off ice cream.
On the bottom of your cone you get a surprise of the topping you had chosen to top your ice cream with. a pleasant unexpected surprise which puts a smile on your face.
The shop is small with barely any seating. There is a bench inside and two benches outside which my two friends and I utilized. We lucked out that the weather was nice enough on a November night for us to be able to sit outside and chat. The milk bar is located conveniently in a popular area populated by many indie bars, restaurants and shops. Not bad to fill your ice cream craving and then head over to a bar or restaurant. Great for window shopping & people watching. Williamsburg is like a hipster catwalk– you see a lot of interesting wardrobe & get ups!
The service wasn’t bad. There were two woman behind the counter and they were helpful by answering questions etc. The shop was a bit busy but we didn’t have to wait long to be served.
It’s worth coming here and trying the different goodies they have to offer. I’ll be coming back eventually to try new things!

ppl have been raving about this place for so long! and i must say the ice-​cream is unique. The ice-​cream itself tastes like milk that has been sitting with cereal in it! I don’t know if that’s a good way to describe it but it’s exactly what it tastes like. Jk i just read the description on their online menu and that is literally what it says… They really pack in lots of ice-​cream here! The corn flakes are great and i love that the guy making the ice-​cream put some of the corn flakes at the bottom of cup.
The ice-​cream melted way too fast! it actually dripped everywhere and caused a great mess. ]: i guess it’ll be nice if they made a firmer soft serve lol although that sounds contradictory.

For my upcoming bday, I decide to try something different this year. And, I came across a tutorial by Momofuku’s Milk Bar’s chef, Christina Tosi where she demonstrates each layer of ingredients that makes this cake super addictive. First, I have to warn beforehand that it is super rich and decadent. Ever had a craving for thick gooey fudge with baked brownie? This is exactly what it taste like except it has a bit of a kick and fun surprises to it. You get stacks of layered chocolate cake with fudge, crack pie coconut filling, pecan crunch, chocolate malt, and chocolate malt cake soak. It’s pretty much a Milk Bar sampler if you haven’t tried the compost cookie, crack pie, chocolate cake, etc. We got through about a little over half of the cake. For a 6′ it looks small but packs a serious punch. My daughter went digging into the coconut crumble bits.
Ordering was super easy. You just shoot them an email preferably a day or two before. And, one of their staff gets back to you to confirm all the details. Once it’s ready, they’ll send over the invoice via paypal. And it’s ready for pick-​up. Or if you prefer delivery, they also ship their cakes via overnight delivery. Delivery was fast and simple. I just gave my info and picked it up. And, I even got the cereal milk icecream for my lil’ one. Hub decide to get their compost cookie but it was the last one that was broken in half. So we got it on the house! ;) This stuff is for serious dessert addicts. If you don’t like overly sweet stuff, it’s not for you. Staff was nice and friendly.

I just LOVE their cookies. They are extremely addictive. I ALMOST (almost) regret taking six of the cookies home to Chicago to share with my roommates (we were all big fans of Master Chef judge Christina Tosi). The confetti cake cookie is probably the best cookie I have EVER had. So good. The compost cookie is a close runner-​up. I want to try their soft serve «cereal milk» ice cream next time and possibly order a cake for an event in the future.

Addictive. Seriously. If you live anywhere near this place and haven’t tried it already, I’d recommend that you not check it out. The cookies obviously have crack in them (crack in the form of butter, that is).
Tiny hole in the wall establishment, so plan to take your sugar on the run.
There’s a bench outside for you to enjoy your cereal milk ice cream (pretty good, tart flavor, reminds me of vanilla froyo) on warm summer nights.
Dangerously good, everything. The milkshakes, the boozeshakes, the greasy good cookies (Rus is a fiend for the confetti ones). The buns are okay, but if you’re coming here for the buns… we can’t be friends anymore.

This is such a cute, small space but amazing especially in the summertime. They have two benches indoors by the cash register, counter and chalkboard menu. They have some additional seating outside by the entrance door. The service was very friendly and informative.
We tried the candy bar pie slice, cereal milk icecream with cornflakes (our personal favorite!) and espresso shake: all were very delicious and tasty! The coffee is also very strong and gave us a buzz.
I also tried the pink lemonade icecream (bad mistake) and I would not recommend it because it was way too sour. I envisioned it to be a light pink lemonade flavor but the sourness was completely overpowering. It was such a chore trying to finish all of it (I don’t like to waste food), but I know now not to order it in the future.
We will definitely be back to try more desserts, shakes and possibly even their pork buns.

Took the bake the cake class, birthday
Cake cake of course.
Class is already set up for you,
Complete with the cute headwraps! Youre encouraged to eat the scraps (dont have to ask me twice). Bravo to Tosi for hiring a great crew, the leader of theclass was so fun and inviting. Took home my cake and my
Truffles! Was given great instructions ab freezing/​preserving my cake.
Dont need to take the
Class again but everyone was having fun!

Momofuku has a special place in the world of food especially when it’s been talked about in all forms of media. I remember my first encounter with momofuku back in ’09 at the noodle bar. I remember it being pleasant so I decided to take a chance with their milk and cereal spot.
For $ 7 I expect to have a big cup. For $ 7 I expect it to really taste like milk or be milky. For $ 7 I expect my corn flakes to not fall off.
Yet I didn’t get what I paid for. The ice cream was quite tart and it tasted nothing like milk. The texture was semi icy. The toppings kept falling off and my cup was tiny.
I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it, it wasn’t good enough to be worth the price tag.
Stick to the restaurant items, their desserts are overrated and overpriced.

Maybe I should have ordered just the soft serve and with the name being pretty well known in NYC I had high hopes.
As soon as we walked in we weren’t sure what to order, there wasn’t much displayed in general, so we asked and we were recommended the frankenstein pie which is basically a combination of 4 different kinds of pies — $ 40 NOT worth it. Its super sweet and unless you have a major sweet tooth, it is not worth the $ 40 bucks, it just feels like i’m chewing on sugar. We just ended up throwing the rest out after a few bites.
Overall — very meh~
