Ordered it under the impression that its an iced coffee brew theyve not expected to be a bitter beer coffee nowhere did it say it was beer tasted awful cream was all lumpy when down the toilet after one sip because thats how bad it tasted very bitter will not recommend Ill suggest that you specify beer somewhere in the description so people will know that its beer and I think that its brewed coffee.

Have always been a fan of a good milkshake but this place takes the cake(and pop tarts..and cereal...and candy bars...and pastries AND booze) . Not only was my personalized shake absolutely delicious..the two ladies closing on dec 10 provided stellar service and recommendations despite the fact that I was the a$$**** that showed up 15 minutes before closing. They were wonderful and made a helluva shake.Tip- apparently you have to order through the restaurant next door and pick up there as well.5/5 will be back!

The milkshake with the fruity pebbles and gummy bears is next level goodness!!! Extremely friendly staff

The first time I went, the woman working the counter was extremely rude, but I chalked it up to a bad day. The second time I went, I got an $8 slice of Milk Bars birthday cake. Theres a photo of what their signature birthday cake is supposed to look like, and then a slice of what I received. If I wanted grocery store cake, I wouldve gone to Ralphs and gotten a whole one for a dollar or two more. Christina Tosi should really look into this place, because Im sure she wouldnt be thrilled.

Such a cool place!!! And the shakes are yummy!!! I am allergic to egg and the vanilla ice cream had egg in it so I had a very bad reaction, but I contacted them about it and they were very nice and worked with me on it , so I will go again. But not get vanilla ice cream.

Really nice place!!! Really small but that makes it more enjoyable. There shakes are delicious and they have lots of great unique flavors.

2 things:1) the milkshakes we bought were tasty. My girls (4 and 6;who were soo excited to go to Milk Bar) loved them and were totally satisfied.2) this is not THE “Milk Bar”, it’s “The Milk Bar”. Can’t compare the birthday cake to Christina’s famous birthday cake because it’s not hers. If your looking for Milk Bar, go to LA. If you want a milkshake, not a bad option.

I was so disappointed in this place. The customer service was slow and subpar, the manager was rude and the shakes were overpriced and no better then a normal shake at jack in the box. Maybe when they can open normally they will be better but after looking at other reviews there are many complaints about a rude manager. There are just too many places to support that treat their customers with kindness to return to this eatery.

Ordered through Uber Eats, a cake slice, a pie slice and ice cream on the side. I could not believe how tiny the cake slices were for the price. Im fully aware that Uber prices are higher than in the restaurant itself. But $11.99 for a slice of cake smaller than my hand? Forget that, even at the regular restaurant price. Never ordering here again or going here. I ordered the vanilla crunch cake and it tasted super plain aside from the caramel. Couldnt even taste the vanilla. The $4 side of ice cream was literally 2 tablespoons of ice cream. What a joke. Sadly have gotten better cake at the grocery store (and an entire cake for that price).

I ordered delivery 8:45pm before closing time 10pm an once gets close to closing they cancel order. Unfair. Never ordering here.

This place is in need of some form of organized system for people waiting to order and people who are ordering. The products are delicious though. Highly recommend the cinnamon toast crunch shake.

My friend and I went yesterday and their customer service is HORRIBLE. We were waiting for the lady to take our order for 5 minutes even though she knew we were right there waiting. We just ordered two shakes and we waited for 20-25 minutes for it. When my friend asked her how long it was going to take she said “I’m not sure” and walked away. Don’t go there if you’re not trying to wait a long time for your order. If you do, I think ordering online is better.

Is this a knock-off? It’s not the famous Milk Bar. Our shake had a strong, stale smell. Graham crackers were old and tasted it. The store itself was shuttered but had sign saying to order through the bar next door. Something in this is bad. I’m burping up something bad now. Would have taken it back but we were on route to the airport. This was a bizarre experience.

After reading the reviews and ordering for the first time, I feel compelled to write my own review. Cereal milkshakes are a stroke of genius! Got the coco puff shake and it’s the best shake I think I’ve ever had. Highly recommend, worth the price. Yum!!

When I saw the name Milk Bar I thought, “Oh that sounds fun, I bet they have fun/great shakes!”. I drove to the place and then once I found it it was closed and had to go inside of a bar/restaurant. After waiting 30 minutes for a milk shake when it was almost empty in there, I was pretty disappointed to get a very plain and boring milkshake. You’d think paying 8-9 dollars for a milkshake it would be a bit fancy and a little over the top but I honestly could have gotten the same thing from McDonalds for more than half the price and a way shorter wait time.

It was literally just okay. Had much better stuff at grocery stores. Very disappointing.

We came to San Diego 2 years ago for vacation and stumbled on this place when it was still in La Jolla. The fried chicken, onion rings and milkshakes were fantastic. When we were planning for our vacation this year it was this place that played a huge role of why we can back. I had been craving the Nashville Hot chicken for 2 years and was so happy to get to come back and have it again. The owner and maybe the manager were super nice and even gave us a piece of pecan pie for for coming back. I dont like pecans but almost ate the plate they served it on. Reading the reviews on here is pretty sad for such a great place, especially about the customer service or the food. Keep making great food and welcoming atmosphere.

Im doing this review only due to the fact I was looking to go here but upon reading the reviews some good some bad. But the bad where replied to by the owner with some stupid sly remark no apologies just clap backs. Clearly you need to work on satisfying customers and stop running your fingers on your keyboard. Good business for dummies your welcome. Thank me later!

This place is awesome! But its not because of the great milk shake. As I was waiting on my order the bar its connected to started playing Burbans and Lacs by No limit. 14 years in San Diego and Ive never heard any bar or club play any No Limit songs especially Burban and Lacs. Only true hip hop fans even know who No limit is. This place is awesome!

Its great, but I probably wont be back unless someone else is paying. Its $9 for a milkshake. Granted its a fantastically tasty milkshake, but not worth for me personally.

Honestly its a stupid premise and you could way more cheaply blend ice cream and cereal at your home but like ... I love it. I will gleefully fork over money for cereal-flavored milk any time even though I could just as easily get it from my nephews breakfast in the morning. Also the clocks on the ceiling will drive you crazy: theyre all out of sync.

One of a kind milkshakes! This place has every cereal milkshake you can imagine. But be careful, their menu changes frequently and your favourite much not be there next time

Their chicken is off the hook so good

Dessert bar. Primarily does specialty milk shakes with candy, baked goods, or cereal blended in. Also offers flavored milks and a selection on cookies. Very slow service, wait can be long if theres a crowd.

Pricey for a milkshake, but it tasted so good! I had the peanut butter cup cereal shake.

I had the pleasure of visiting this place. The milk shake was really nice and creamy. would definitely go back

Best fried chicken ive ever had and they have a wide variety of beer

I’d love to say I’ve had the pleasure of trying. I was definitely super excited because of Masterchef. I was a little put off before I called by the reviews about customer service, but whatever. I chalked it up to a few bad shifts.Unfortunately, of the last 5 times I’ve called (today included) to ask if they have the one thing I’m excited to try... a rice crispy treat... it was never available. And today when I called to ask I was met with a short response and no options for an upsell. Or even ”we don’t but you know what would be good.” Idk if you still read these, but I don’t want to try anymore friends. I’ll try to check it out the next time I’m in New York.

Cocktails look good, but price is too high! And also there was noone when we came there, so we couldnt even order anything. Really small place, and its ridiculous to sell milkshakes and bear all together. Specially when you call your place the milk bar! Sorry guys but you just picked wrong conception

Easily the worst place Ive been in San Diego. The service was awful, the product was subpar, and the overall experience was confusing at best. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

The shakes are delicious! But as others have said its overpriced, disorganized, and SLOW. I usually wait at least 10 minutes for my shake, even when Im the only one there, and theres no where to sit. Just not worth it.

Best milkshakes in San Diego/ Northpark! It’s connected to street merchant restaurant.

What a terrible place! I ordered my crazy expensive cake for here and received it with no napkin or silverware! One item is missing and no apology from the manager. Avoid this place! There are plenty better locations!

Awesome milkshakes. Little pricy if you ask me but worth it for every once in a while without a doubt. Get you that custom shake.

Yeah, you’re milkshakes were ok and the baked goods were average. But customer service was pretty poor Milk bar, and because of that I won’t be coming back. I walked in on a not quite busy Sunday afternoon and after waiting 10 mins to be helped (no I’m not an Uber eats driver thank you) and another 10 for my shake to come out. After all that I had to remind the server that I had ordered cookies as well. Wouldn’t recommend this place to a friend, not impressed.

Not even close to being worth the cost. 3 of us got 3 different kind of shakes and they all just taste like plain vanilla. should have just gotten them from mcdonalds, tastes the same and it costs at least half as much.

Well worth the parking hassle for amazing milkshakes.

I dont even know what milkshake is good. Everytime I get one, it only one ups the next.

This place must not be aware of the customer service concept. They have two speeds, slow and stop, so you should order before you get there. But wait, that wont mater because they dont start making them until you get there. On the plus side the staff has plenty of attitude which makes up for the lack of prompt service. Perhaps the cow is a fast one.

Deliscious! Got the cinnamon toast crunch shake. So bomb!

Miss Kimmy was a delight - full of energy and friendliness. Shakes were great and staff matched

Great place and milkshakes are so delicious and different. 4stars only because they never notice you come in and you have to wait for someone to see you so you can order.

I’ve never had to eat red velvet cake with the icing until today. I ordered from uber eats for a party of 12 thinking it’s a “12” cake based off their featured items. The description of the cake did not display that it was a slice of cake . So upon completion of order i received a slice of red velvet..In what world is a slice of cake worth $12 . Not to mention it was dry and i had to using the icing in order to swallow it ... I can only imagine what your establishment is charging for a slice of your dry cake in the actual store an not through uber eats . In all honest I’ve seen establishments sell slice at $3-6 a slice that’s more reasonable but for you to charge $12 for a slice . Your cake is not that good , it’s dry and not worth the price and you as a establishment need to reprice your featured item to truly show what it’s worth ... a dry piece for $12 . I feel stupid and duped for what it is ... You think cause your hip and what not that you can charge that and after tonight you atleast lost this customer and anyone that will ever suggest it to me .. it may not mean a lot to you because I’m sure hundreds of people show up to your business but I and my twelve other friends will not be entering or talking about your placce .

Shakes were very thin, too much milk added. The cereal milk shakes were very grainy texture. Cookie would have been better if it was just chunks of chocolate and no dough.

Extremely slow and rude staff. They make milkshakes not space shuttles. It shouldnt take 20 minutes to make a shake. And they can work on their customer service skills.

Milkshake was watery. I wouldnt go through the trouble off rating/reviewing but it cost $8. I was pretty disappointed.

Decadent and full of whimsy

$9 for “boozy shake”, that does not come with booze... +$5 for one shot of booze...very yummy though

Delicious milkshakes. Worth your money for sure!

This is not the same as the one in LA. It’s just a weird place serving milkshakes made from Costco ice cream. Change your name.

Yet to be served or greeted at this place. No idea how good they are amd most likely never will

I have waited for The Milk Bar to open forover a year. Unfortunately, after my first milkshake, I realized that my hopes had been misplaced.The shake was good, but expensive. Very confusing menu. I dont think even the guy who rang us up was too clear on the menu.

Slow service but really good shakes. Worth the wait.

Friendly owner, good service and prices.

Great milkshake. Small, and really hot inside

Milk shakes literally only tasted like milk, not think at all. Cookies werent fresh.

Milkshakes made from any flavor cereal, is there anything more to say?

Milkshake was good but not as thick as other places Ive been to.. staff is very friendly

Nasty food and owner

This place gets a 1 star based on the owners response to Alex Cs review. I was looking for a new place to try out but if thats how they address customer issues no thanks.

Very cool concept but a little pricey

Best shakes ever. Period!!!

We got here 45 minutes before they were supposed to close. Had a whole line of people ready to order and they said they could only take one more order .... didnt give a reason for why they tried closing early

Who knew I wanted a Cap’n Crunch milkshake?

Rude staff

Kinda a weird place that specializes in cookies, milk, and milkshakes. Picked up some cookies on my way out, and they were a bit stale like theyve been out in air all day.

Fresh and delicious and quick , what else would you want

Not helpful at all.

Very good, prices are lil to high

Little more than a mediocre milk shake counter stuffed into a service closet. Milk shakes with various mix-ins and a few cookie-like items are all that you can order, even though the name suggests more.

Pretty good a little hidden

The menu consists of 2 8.5x11 sheets of paper, milkshakes cost $8-9. Took around 7 minutes to have my order taken. Seems to me like a bad attempt at making a gimmick for a bar.

Awful place. Small with unreasonably expensive drinks

The milk bar was bought out by the bar next door. They only serve shakes now. RIP.

Staff is very friendly and she remembered my name and my shake... cant ask for more

I am fuming about the price of these shakes. One shake is $10?! Im like a tornado of anger, swirling about!

The chicken was delicious!

Great milkshakes

Has potential but is mostly just a milkshakes place

Nice

So good

The best

They’re located inside of streetcar. We ordered a milkshake and a créeme brûlée cheesecake.The milkshake was ok, and the cheesecake was overly sweet and not créeme brûlée tasting at all.It’s quite pricey for the quality, $9 each.
