Atmosphere is great, and feels like an invested tourist attraction. Service also was great. My company and I, however, found the ice cream much too sweet for our liking. I’d compare it to condensed Frosted Flake cereal milk with sugar melted in. It was too much for us.
Would be a great visit for kiddos.

It was okay, but I think the cookies were better than the cake. I was dying to try the cakes because of all the rave about them, and it didn't live up to my expectations. I'll try another Milk Bar around the area
I had the most amazing experience here! My fiancé and I booked the “Build a Cookie” experience. I’ve been a fan of Christina Tosi for years so this was a top spot for me to hit on our trip to NYC and it was everything I dreamed it would be. Staff were super friendly and even gave us a recommendation for an awesome pizza spot to go to after the class. 5/5 would recommend!
I originally went in search of the Cheetos cake, but they no longer had it available. Instead, I opted for a slice of "Pumpkin Coffee Cake Cake" and a slice of "Candy Bar Pie," along with a large Americano. Everything was as expected, except the cashier forgot to add milk to my coffee. If you're looking for a moist and incredibly sweet cake that's conveniently pre-packaged and ready for immediate pickup, this is the place to visit. They also offer plenty of seating.
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.

Glad to see the cookies weren’t individually wrapped like you would get at the grocery store. I went to another location and they were already packaged. These were in a case fresh. The bday truffles were packaged but all good. The cookies were solid but I felt they overdid it with the salt. You need a hint of it but it was too much. The funfetti cake is legendary though and the bday truffles are always a crowd favorite. Love the inside too.
Where to begin with Milk Bar? I’ve been an admirer of Christina Tosi’s work since her appearance on Masterchef. The energy she radiated reminded me of my favorite art teacher. I first tasted her creations in Toronto at a mini Milk Bar in 2014, and I was absolutely enthralled. Fast forward to my first New York visit, I had to go to Milk Bar, and it didn’t disappoint! The desserts, the decorations, and the overwhelming joy the place exudes is something special.
I indulged in everything I could and was met with impeccable service. What stood out was the thoughtful staff. Knowing I had a 6-7 hour drive back to Montreal, they sold me frozen cakes to ensure they would last the trip. Their effort added an extra layer of delight to my experience.
Milk Bar is not just a place to grab a sweet treat; it’s an experience that tugs at your heartstrings. The artistry and the flavors narrate a story that I’ve come to love. I’m now planning a return to NYC just to revisit this magical place. Thank you, Milk Bar, for the joy and delicious memories!

We stopped by Milk Bar on a Saturday night at around 7:30 pm. It wasn't crowded so it was quick to order and find a table. We got a piece of crack pie, a cowboy cookie, and cereal milk soft serve with cornflake crunch topping. The crack pie tasted good but it was so sweet. I just had one bite. The cookie was fine but it wasn't mine blowing. However, the cereal milk soft serve with cornflake crunch topping was my absolute favorite! The soft serve was subtlety flavored with cornflake and the cornflake crunch topping was SO good! It adds a nice crunch and it's a good mix of salty and sweet. They put the corn flake crunch at the bottom and on top of the soft serve too so you have enough to eat with the soft serve. I would have come back for the soft serve a second time if we had time. Definitely recommend making a stop here to try the soft serve with the cornflake crunch - they also had cookies, cake truffles and slices of cake available for purchase too.
