LOVEEE Milkbar! They have some of the best treats (we especially love their truffles). We stopped by to try their seasonal Apple cider donut cake (we got a slice) and Apple cider donut truffles. Both were really good (I personally like the cake more, but it was very close). This is probably of my favs along with their original birthday cake flavor.This store location is a bit smaller than others, but they still had a decent amount of goodies here.Pros:- Decent storefront size- A good variety of milkbar products (cakes, cookies, truffles, etc)- Nice location to pick up some things then head to the park and enjoy!Cons:- Line is likely to be long during busy hours as the store is small and not many people working at the time- No outdoor or indoor seatingIf this is your first time, try their truffles and a cookie or two! You can’t go wrong (unless you don’t like sweets and were dragged here by one of your sweet-toothed friends)Wish there was an UES location :/

We went here because we had heard rave reviews. We got the chocolate birthday cake and it was fine. It was $10 and I guess that is reasonable for the reputation and location. Service was not bad but also not really friendly. It was totally fine but not five stars and did not live up to its reputation as amazzzzzing.

Five stars for the Crack Pie and Birthday Cake, they absolutely lived up to the hype!unfortunately, the team member behind the counter created a negative experience with her poor attitude and obvious contempt for her job. while we did enjoy our treats, i cannot recommend this location as the lack of hospitality ruined the overall experience.

Wow, this is way over hyped. the compost cookie tastes like nothing but sugar but ooh crunchy potato chip!!! they arent even baked at the location. the cereal milk soft serve doesnt taste good and is also way too sweet. not worth the money

Last night was my last time in any Milk bar. I ordered a pint of cerealmilk icecream and water (I was the only customer in the store), employee who took my order shouted to the other employee can you get up and help me with this order the other employee shouted back cant you get it yourself the conversation kept going between them shouting at eachother. If it happened before I paid I wouldnt purchase anything it was so uncomfortable and disgusting. Unfortunately, prior experience with a different location wasnt pleasant either. I am questioning if they are training their employees to be specifically rude and unprofessional. Zero professionalism and zero hospitality. I think it is a good call they started mass production, they should definitely only focus on selling products in grocery stores.

The past 2 times I ordered, my cake slices were STALE. It makes me so sad because my first few Milk Bar experiences ordering full sized cakes were good. I wonder if they use their older cakes to prepare the slices.....I also ordered the soft serve swirl. The strawberry flavor was super artificial but the cereal milk was as good as usual. I ordered through GrubHub delivery and it came very melted so I highly suggest only getting the soft serve in person.Im going to give this place one more try for the cakes and if they ruin my friends birthday, sadly I wont be going back.

The lady behind the counter was a little rude to me and the other customers. Also I thought this place might have fresh baked stuff. Nope, it tasted like everything comes frozen and is then thawed out the day before. Also the cereal shake want worth $9.

It is good but not the best. I like Insomnia cookies way better. The milkshake (chocolate birthday I believe) was not good at all. The confetti cookie was my favorite from all the cookies (got one of each). The strawberry shortcake truffles were ok. The red velvet truffles they had (seasonal) were the best. Ill go back when the red velvet truffles are back or if I am really craving the confetti cookie. Definitely not a place I would care to go back though.

Wow. Super good ice cream. We had two shakes, which are actually ice cream cause they are so thick. Their add Ins are amazing!! The staff was super patient and super friendly. Kids loved it.

Just not worth it.This place is sad. I went here because I know it was Christina Rosies store but wow was it bad.First, the foods flavor was not to the level I expected. I was better off at the local bakery. Tried like 15 different things between me and my friends but hey, maybe it was not my cup of tea.Second, presentation is awful. Nothing looked appetizing and everything is pre-packaged in this old looking plastic like its 20 years old. Like really? The least you could do was make it look cute.Third, even the store was not pretty. It was pretty small and boring.If this is the fancy standard Christina Tosie has being a judge at master chef, then wow. I really dont want to go to any of these famous chef restaurants and bakeries.The only thing I somewhat liked was their Birthday Truffles but again the presentation was awful. There are sooo many bakers with cuter things to purchase.

I virtually love this place. The supervisor is exceptional and is aware of exactly a way to deal with humans and makes my enjoy right here unique and personalized every single time. I will constantly come returned!!!

Cookies were stale and the soft serve ice-cream was very very salty! Seems like they confused sugar with salt. Very unsatisfied!

This place rocks! We cannot say enough good things about it. The sweet treats are exceptionally tasty as they are creative. Its a little pricey but the quality of the food is well worth it.The only drawback is the long lines. Great if you have kids.

I love this place and the kids love it too. They have everything and the service staff are the best. I do recommend giving them a try, its so worth it.

Everything was beautifully crafted from the food to the store decor. I really looked forward to the experience but the food quite didn’t live up to the hype for me. I tried the cereal soft serve, chocolate cake and strawberry cake. Could be a personal preference, but the soft serve resembled too much like salted butter to be enjoyable. The cakes were okay, but nothing out of the ordinary.

A great place to get a sweet treat, although it is a bit pricey. The compost cookie is pretty good.

Got a cake on Caviar from here - it was delicious!

Very good experience with this shop!I made an order for a birthday cake, contact with the shop was very helpful and friendly and the shop was flexible with the order and pickup times. Once in the shop everything was there ready and waiting as agreed, the staff on site was also very friendly. On top of that the cake itself was great!

Truffles were a bit stale, ice cream tasted like very generic store brand stuff and the staff were less than helpful. Go to Amarinos instead. At least its more flavorful.

Milk Bar is a classic NY staple that always satisfies your sweets craving. However, at this particular location the hospitality by the staff was mediocre at best, kind of pulling away from the experience. Not that anyone was specifically rude, rather acted in such a way that was almost uninviting. Still, you come here primarily the sweets rather than the service

I am always ordering from this place IM IN LOVE!! And they notice I do so they send me little notes and I absolutely love them!! It makes me so happy. I can’t wait till the quarantine is over so I can stop by and pick up my favorite confetti cookie. And also say hi to the staff because I feel like they know who I am because I literally order so much.😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

The cornflake soft serve with crunchy toppings is divine. Right balance of salt and sweet and oh so creamy! Dont bother with the pork bun

So good as usual. There is some space to eat in (or to take nice pictures...). Their staff is very nice and helpful. I wish they would package the goods with less plastic :)

Came here due to a recommendation from a friend and I am so thankful he did so. I got what I need and more! Nice pastries, great cakes!

It is good but not the best. I like Insomnia cookies way better. The milkshake (chocolate birthday I believe) was not good at all.

This place will seriously satisfy your sweet tooth!

I watched that episode of Chef’s Table and made a note to come while on holiday in NY. It totally and absolutely did not disappoint. I had the cereal milk soft serve with cookie compost topping, and OMG, BEST SOFT SERVE ever. I think I’ll be here a dozen times more before I leave. Love the cute, kitschy feel of the brand and how they seem to come with seasonal flavours.

So delicious great for a sugar rush once in a blue

Very good. They have an option called The Favorites (I think that’s what it’s called) where you get a Milk Pie, ice cream with corn flakes, birthday truffles and a compost cookie. They’re all really good, but the the milk pie and the birthday truffles were truly awesome.

I think it’s the best milk bar only because there is so much space. All milk bars are tiny

The experience was fun! The soft-serve ice cream and crack pie was everything. This particular day the AC was not working. But it would not stop me from going back.

I never eat cake because I’m not crazy about sweets. But wow I tried this chocolate cake and I’m in love. The Milk bar has the best cake on this earth !!!!

My boyfriend got me the best birthday cake for Valentines Day. The Valentines Day cakes were sold out. But nonetheless the birthday cake was delicious.

Needed to visit the store after having seen the Netflix show. We tried chocolate truffles, cookies, birthday cake and milk bar pie. Most was too sweet for us Europeans, but we appreciate the true American taste. I would recommend the cookies and the truffles with a good cup of (non sweet) coffee.

I can’t resist a good milkshake and the birthday cake shake the Milk Bar was yummy.I had to giggle though at the size of the Babyshake, it is literally small enough for a baby (and $6)!

I ordered the strawberry shortcake and the chocolate birthday cake truffles for my birthday. My order arrived right on time, their customer service is excellent! The strawberry shortcake was a little on the sweet side but that’s because I served it directly from the fridge. Let it sit out to room temperature and it’s delicious! Also loved loved the cake truffles. Five stars all the way for Milk Bar! I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future! Thanks Milk Bar for your delicious products and efficient customer service!

My friend recommended this place to me. It was good but I was expecting more.

This is a desert venue like no other. The expertise and unique ideas that the owner brings makes this a special experience. You should expect to pay outrageous prices, but it is 100% worth it.

The customer service was great, and the cookies were very interesting! I have never had such unique cookies/desserts in my life. I am so glad I got the chance to try food here. Unfortunately, the desserts were a bit too sweet for me personally (hence 4 stars instead of 5); however, thats just me. In all, I would highly recommend this place, especially for a summer treat!

Nice ladies working here when we came by on a Saturday afternoon. I got 3 cookies for $7.50 (cornflake-marshmallow-chocolate-chip cookie tin / chocolate-chocolate cookie tin / confetti cookie tin), the birthday cake soft serve with sprinkles $5.50 + $1 and a latte for my fiancé (I forgot the flavor he had and its price). The soft serve and the cookies were not too sweet and my fiancé and I enjoyed it, but we’ll be trying out different items and flavors next time.

Tried the B’Day cake and it was a dry, dense mess. I had wanted to try the coveted dessert for years now, but it was underwhelming at best. Christina Tosi would not approve.

Shakes are good. Not a big fan of the pie.

Been here once and only got the soft serve cereal milk. Its phenomenal. You have to get the soft serve with the crunchy cereal pieces or it wont taste as good. Its a nice combination of sweet and saltiness from the crunch added on top. I havent tried any of their other choices so this rating applies to the soft serve cereal milk

Just visited this upper west location and was sort off put off by the gentleman employee working. He was distracted and not friendly. He went through the gestures required but didn’t have any deserve to be pleasant or friendly. When purchasing high end desserts you should at least receive happy positive customer service. Also was off putting when our desserts were tossed and pushed across the counter in the most unfriendly manner. Sad that these employees poorly represent the brand. Not sure I would come back even though we enjoyed our dessert.

I was soooo excited for this place but unfortunately the cookies tasted so artificial. If youre looking for a fresh cookie this is not the place. But the service was great the girl was really nice ... I got 2 of each cookie ... A cake truffle thing... I spent 50 something $. On cookies that are so mediocre. I wouldnt come back.

Cookies were dry. I didnt like them. Shake was ok!

I usually order their baby cereal milk shake. It’s small in size and you don’t get that I’m-too-full-feeling afterwards hahaTheir corn cookies also really good!

It’s worth the hype, but hard to be a daily place for us when a pie is 48$. We had a nice treat and the cookie flavors are unique. It’s clear the ingredients are painstakingly selected. Which is really hard to do these days. My favorite was actually the bagel bomb on a Sunday morning.

Great place for dessert on the Upper West Side. Their ice cream is salty and sweet and overall very interesting flavour. Their cookies are also delicious.

The nicest staff and Milk Bar is soooooo gooooooood - in the three that I’ve been to in New York!!!! At this one my wife and I got the strawberry corn and the birthday cake shake. We also tried their little savory pastries that were good, but not as good as their sweets.

Food is good, but it is a shop that needs more love. It is messy, dirty does not invite you come in and have a good experience.

Give my man Pedro a raise!

My friend let me try the crack pie, corn cookie and affogato. Everything tasted consistent to the first time I tried it many years ago.Only complaint is the design where the order is taken, the register is right infront of the entrance which causes much crowding.Tip the staff and they may give you a bit extra ice cream in your affogato.

Great bakes that are not overly complicated but has a level of nostalgic complexity behind them. Visited almost on a daily basis during my visit to New York back in May and tried all their latte, favorite one being their cereal milk latte and my favorite bake has to be their birthday cake. Would visit again religiously when I go back to New York. Staff were also very friendly.

Their crack pie is out of this world delicious. A must have when in New York.

I really like this Milk Bar location. The staff are great as well as manager Cece! A good spot to pick up Milk Bars famous treats.

Obsessed. great service. I have a real sweet tooth and this place always does the trick

Super nice staff, yummy treats

Some of this stuff is bad for my waistline! Everything was delicious. The crack pie is true to its name. Highly addictive!

The crack pie, composte cake or cookie and the cereal ice cream are the best options!

Pricey and boring. Extremely ordinary. The documentary sucks. shut up.

Just bought Cereal Milk, which is overprized. No place to sit.

Really enjoyed our first visit! Bring this yummy place to the West coast!

I finally made a visit here (after loving Christina Tosi’s episode on Chef’s Table) and unfortunately left pretty underwhelmed. The counter service was not welcoming or that enthusiastic. I had the cereal milk/cookie soft serve with corn flake topping and it tasted like...pure salt. I normally can appreciate the balance of sweet and savoury, but this was just way too much, especially when I had a craving for a DESSERT. My boyfriend got the chocolate birthday cake shake (which I found to be a bit better) that he also didn’t care for. It was worth a try in the end, but I don’t understand how this place can be considered to have a “cult following”...

My wife and I decided to walk over to the Milk Bar late one evening because Levian was already closed and we wanted a treat. Great decision.I hadn’t heard of this place before, so I was kinda surprised by the cereal ice cream. My wife had the cookie compost shake. They were both salty-sweet. That caught me off guard given how sickly sweet the cakes looked. I thought the crunchy cornflakes and ice cream went together perfectly. Salty sweet, crunchy smooth, dry wet. Tasty. My wife loved the shake, the pretzel bits and whatnot had the same salty sweet flavor profile.Great little shop with fun decor, friendly staff, and unique AND delicious food (a rare combo)

I had been referred to Milk Bar Upper West Side cake by my sister for my engagement party. I had a design in mind and They absolutely went beyond my expectations! I was very pleased about the outcome. Not only did it look beautiful but my guests couldnt stop raving about how delicious it tasted! I had ordered their chocolate cake. Overall, I was very happy with their service and would definitely recommend them to everyone. I would use them for my future events.

I love this place, its such a great treat. Their specials are usually worth checking out. But going with their classic options never feels like settling.

Cute little dessert shop with unique cookies, cakes, and ice cream! I tried a corn cookie ($2.75) and was pleasantly surprised at how much i liked it. It was not overpoweringly corny, but very delicious and very sweet. It was a bit too crumbly for my personal taste, but i cant wait to come back and try the different flavors!

The staff was so nice and the food wad great. They recommended the cereal milk latte because I couldnt decide, and even let us try the cereal milk soft serve which I loved. We had a compost cookie and the chocolate marshmallow cookie. Very fresh and chewy, perfectly baked. Ive always wanted to try this place and it was a great experience on a cold day!

We went there because were fans of Master Chef. Im a fan of rich desserts. I was looking forward to having one of her creations.We walked over a mile from the restaurant. We were expecting master chef quality. What we got seems more like food from a convenience store.I got a slice of milk bar pie. It was so sweet I couldnt even finish it. My fiancee got apple cake truffles.Ive had better desserts from the grocery store. Christina Tossi is relying on her fame, taking it easy. I guess its working for her. There was a long line.I was disappointed. I wont be back. Next time, were going to go to a restaurant that specializes in pie. We dont know what one.

The soft serve with the crunchy cornflakes on bottom is possibly the best desert in NYC today.

The employee Margarita was completely losing her mind and yelling at people when we arrived. We thought she was having a nervous breakdown. Anyways, the Birthday Cake tastes cheap, dry cake, oily frosting... Very disappointing. Save your money and drink your own cereal milk.

Ordered several different types of cookies. All dry. Gross. Might as well have bought a box from a grocery store. Also ordered a piece of srawberry shortcake which was very dry with no flavor other than sugar. Back to Insomnia!

Delicious ice cream and the staff were lovely too.We will definitely be back for another visit. There is so much on the menu that we want to try.

My friend and I went in a few months ago because of all the hype and thought the ice cream tasted like rancid milk. We didn’t take more than a few bites before throwing out, probably to make sure we weren’t crazy thinking the ice cream was bad. My friend also took a few cookies home and said they weren’t anything to write home about, nor were they worth the money. I would choose to spend my money and calories elsewhere... the service was fine. The place looked like it needed a little TLC.

So we were desperate for ice cream on an excessively hot day. I thought my daughter would take anything frosty and sweet. All she wanted was vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. And I would take anything tasty and cool after we had walked 4 or 5 blocks in 95°F heat. However, when they offered a sample for us to try of their standard base - the cereal milk flavor - both my daughter and I felt instant revulsion. I didnt say anything in case she liked it, but she was even more grossed out than I was. We practically ran out of there, and tossed the mostly full sample in the trash at the corner. Is it always like this? Slightly sour and oddly pungent? We eat a lot of cereal at home and the milk tastes absolutely delicious after even our most healthy cereals are eaten. This ice cream did not taste like cereal milk. It tasted like sour/spoiled milk that should not have been used to make cereal in the first place. I only gave it two stars because we didnt try anything else and the cookies I have had as gifts (the last one about four years ago) were pretty tasty if a little overwhelmed with stuff.

After watching the Netflix documentary, I was excited to try the birthday cake. It could just be me, but the cake was way too sweet (even compared to other dessert places). I couldn’t taste anything else but the sugar (maybe that’s the purpose). Just be aware.

Delicious ice cream here. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and loyal prices. Ill be back here for sure.

Milk bar had been on my list of gotta try its for the longest time, especially since the arent any near me in Florida. The treats are absolutely fantastic and delicious. The crack pie is so good. The cookies are really good though the corn cookie is kinda weird. My only fault was that the staff didnt seem very friendly, they werent rude but they didnt look like they wanted to be there. Id definitely recommend.

I love the corn cookies and most other desserts, too. Its a fun place to get some unique snacks. The espresso is excellent and they will even put some cereal milk in it for you, if you like a little sweet. They are not cheap, though, so I make it a once-in-a-while treat. The place is generally full of local high school kids.

Not impressed and wanted to be. Went with a few friends. We each ordered different things and tasted each of those. Coffee shake, cereal milk soft serve, crack pie and a peppermint cornflake chocolate chip cookie, the most flavorful of all. Friendly service. May have to go back for another try but wasnt expecting my first try to be short on wow.

Overpriced prepackaged cookies. Not good. Staff very nice though

Whether it is crack pie, or cake truffles, or even the soft serve ! A must and a crave!

We tried the crack pie and cereal milk soft serve. This place just feels more like a chain. Cookies all individually wrapped in plastic giving it a gas station like vibe. I would highly recommend going to a local, more down to earth and less commercialized place for a treat.

Kyle and Farha went above and beyond to give me an EXTRA large shake! Absolutely delicious. Will definitely visit again. 5 out of 5.

Cute new modern Italian restaurant. The vibe is great and all the waiters etc. are super nice. Now the food... Everything I saw, smelled and tasted looked and was delicious! Homemade pasta and everything is seasoned to perfection. This will be my new go to place in Sunnyside.

Delicious ice cream at this place. I recommend this cafe to everyone.

The sweets are to die for. The atmosphere, particularly the staff and music, are fantastic. Id happily buy cake truffles and coffee here any day!

Whats not to like - I mean other than the prices? How else can a little cookies and milk shop afford such a prime UWS corner location. Interesting soft serve flavors, loaded milkshakes, and of course, the cookies! Their Compost Cookie is legendary because its just everything thrown in. Worth trying, but Im a purist - chocolate chip...

The cereal milk ice cream is hands down the best soft serve I have ever had. The caramelized cornflakes topping is an absolute must. One bite and youll be transported back to childhood! Only wish it didnt feel like such a chain, and the establishment could feel a bit more authentic.

We ordered a cake to celebrate our anniversary-- this was our first time visiting a Milk Bar. This location was going through some renovation, which was fine, but didnt give a great first impression. The cake itself was good, however, the description of the one we ordered online simply said vanilla frosting, and it has a strong cream cheese flavor... sadly I hate cream cheese, so I wasnt personally a fan of it.

I had this place starred on my maps for ages now, and only now I went to check it out. I tried the cereal soft serve and it was as delicious as all the other reviews say. While the cup in which they serve it is small, they fill is up quite a lot. It is the perfect size for an after lunch/dinner dessert.And to think that its only 10 minutes away from my apartment....

It is a dessert bar. Okay, ice cream cookies cakes. Could have a better appearance, clean up and not feel like an ice cream truck experience. I just didnt get the hype. Tasted fine though.

Had the crack pie, cereal milk late and cereal milkshake... very good. Totally got that remember your childhood vibe they are all about. 10/10 would recommend Haha. Staff was nice as well.

Best milk bar location in the city. All the different staffers have been courteous and nice. I travel and take these cookies as souvenirs of the city and the staff here are always great at making sure theyre packed up securely.

I was hoping to get a fresh baked cookie, but you walk in and all the cookies are packaged in sealed bags (So highly unlikely they baked them that day and put them out) I got mine warmed up but even then, they were super stale, so not sure when they were baked. The flavors were fine. I think the cornflake marshmallow one would have been killer if it wasnt so stale. Also, a cup of milk was more money than the cookie itself which seemed weird.

They gave me a free cookie since I visited on my birthday. I got the chocolate chocolate and it was delicious! I also purchased a 3 pack of the chocolate malt cake truffles, which were also very rich and fabulous. Id recommend having a glass of milk with those!

Another Milk Bar a day keeps the doctor away? While this place has more character than the other stores, it has primarily the same lineup of goodies as the others. Soft Serve is limited to both cereal milk and fruity, And apparently both are the same color, so getting a swirl didnt make for an IG worth post. Still, this location stays open late and caters to locals since its slightly off the beaten path.

The cereal milkshake in this location was intense. I cant really specify if that is good or not. There was a huge mound of cereal on the bottom????? Like too much. It was overwhelming. The one next to Trump tower mixes everything together and its generally easier to drink. The milkshake certainly was delicious, but sometimes less is more.
