I am normally a person that enjoys finer patisserie and sweets and I had a hunch this wouldn’t be a place to have anything spectacular but we chose to give it a try anyway. The service was great, however, that’s the nicest thing I can say about the Milk Bar. It’s fast food dessert. McDonald’s quality. You’re swallowing straight sugar. And let’s not even talk about the ridiculous prices for what you’re getting. Not sure how this brand is as popular as it is.

The cookies and the cake are unbelievable. I know sometimes they can be a little dry, but for the most part my experiences have been super positive. Cake price is pretty standard for a good cake, which in general is just expensive. I’d definitely go if you’re in the area, get the compost cookie! I’ve tried them all, as you can see in my pictures, and my top 3 are compost cookie, confetti cookie, and blueberry & cream cookie. Don’t miss out!

So the chunks of cereal and pie crust in the cake was a masterful move—it added some nice texture. I liked the birthday cake—sorta funfetti but with a cream cheese icing. Also tried my friends strawberry shortcake. But as others have said, it’s mostly just SWEET sweet. My cake was fairly moist and everything…but it would be a better experience if they experimented with flavors/ingredients and sorta toned down the diabetes. Perfect for an expensive sweet tooth though

Weve liked everything weve tried btwn DC and NY. All delicious. If wed skipped this place based on the reviews we would have missed out. Dont hesitate, youre sure to find something tasty

Wasnt super impressed, I had heard it was started by a food network star so I was expecting it to be amazing. The cookie was prepackaged and tasted a little old. My sister got a milk pie, and it was good... But Ive had better. Definitely not better than grocery store prepackaged cookies and pies. They also have shakes and cake. Maybe theyre doing too many things and they should just try to do one thing well?

I love ice cream and other sweets and was excited to try this out.This is not the place! Run far far away and never return. Eating a bag of sugar would be more pleasant and less sweet.If it was good, I wouldn’t be sore about their outrageous prices, but it’s not. It’s just hype, go anywhere else.

100% over hyped. I’m sure the main location is great. But I we spent $72 on items that were still frozen or tasted stale. The woman that helped us was rude & we felt rushed. Terrible experience. Nice place cool experience. But it should just be for the experience. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Soft serve was OK- a little less salty, a stronger flavor and slightly colder would make it much better.

Very friendly staff. So glad I go to finally try soft serve cereal milk!Currently I am all in with Milk Bar, Tosi and baking. Wish there was a bit more. More flavor cakes and such to choose from. More memorabilia such as stickers, shirts, cups, etc.

I enjoyed my ice cream sammie. A little over priced, but it hit the spot.

Kind of pricey for what it is, but a fun place to go every once and a while.

The soft serve ice cream was fairly bland. This place is expected to have better tasting products. Plus, it seems their machine was not cooling well. The ice cream was melting inside the store while the payment was being made.

I went here for a scoop of ice cream. They only have one variety and it was bad. It felt like eating milk powder. It’s way different than the ice creams I had in the past. I also got a chocolate cookie and it was ok too. For the price I expected a bit more quality and taste.Their speciality pie was really good, if you have sweet tooth though. They have parking space but it’s closed and have tables outside just to sit.

The people need to know... the cake is NOT WORTH your money!!! A group of my friends had the 6 birthday cake for $52. It was WAY too overwhelmingly sweet. The flavor of the frosting and the cake could have been more complex, but the sheer volume of sugar made the flavor very one-dimensional in my opinion. This place is extremely overhyped and very overpriced. I have definitely enjoyed other cakes in the $20-30 range much more than this one. I would not recommend buying cakes from Milkbar, even if you just want to try this well-known place. Save your money and support a local bakery instead.

My expectations were high because Im a huge fan of Masterchef, but unfortunately I was totally disappointed. I had a slice of birthday cake that was very dry and way too sweet. It really lacked any depth of flavor. My boyfriend got a small milkshake that tasted like salty milk with gross chunks of cake in it. Not to mention, everything was pretty overpriced and the only seating was two small tables in the parking lot so we had to stand awkwardly to eat. Dont waste your time.

Location was really cute and employees were nice. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the birthday cake that much. I’ve been wanting to try the cake for a couple yeara but the frosting and crumbs were WAY too sweet.

I drove 35mins because of the reviews for this place and needless to say I was very underwhelmed. The service was great! The product however is way too sweet and not that tasty.

I love this place and I love the food. However, the past couple of times, the guy who took our order looked totally over his job. Not an ounce of welcome or cheer.

My girlfriend told me about this place since she’s a huge fan of Milk Bar! It was really cool to come to the opening of the new location! There sweets are really high quality, cakes are soft and delicious and the Cereal Milk Ice Cream is as unique as it can gets. Expect to pay for quality but it’s definitely a worthy treat.The classes are $95 dollars but you bake your own cake which is worth around $50-$60 and your own truffles. Therefore, it’s actually worth the price and you can learn how to make it!

Walked a bit untill we found this interesting place. Had board games that kept us busy while trying to finish the cake slices. The milkshakes was a surprise having cake in it. Everything we had was sweet, tasty and did not disappoint. Cappuccino was also good.

The sundae was okay. The cookies are not baked on site, but are okay. The staff was really nice though.

Tasty Treats. However, we ordered for pick up and the ice cream was melted in our bag but still delicious.

Surprised how bad my chocolate bday cake was. Dry and overly sweet. Its the very thing Christina criticizes on masterchef. Had one slice and throwing the rest away. Very suprised and disappointed because ive had better cakes at walmart...

The employees were absolutely the best. We came from out of town and wanted to try the famous milk birthday cake, which was tasty but i honestly preferred the cookies. The confetti and compost cookies were both amazing. They had board games and were very inviting. We had a great time at this location!

Not a fan personally, the ice scream and shakes leaned way too much on the salty side. The actual place is kinda nice but the ice cream wasnt even sweet except for maybe the first 3 bites.I am not a fan of extremely salty ice cream, do no recommend this place.

What do you think of when you hear Milk Bar? The first thing that comes to mind is all delicious things that come from milk, especially ice cream. So of course we came excited and ready to check out the unique flavors of ice cream. There were only two flavors to choose from which was interesting. So, we picked the one that seemed like it would be the most fun, cereal milk ice cream. The initial taste reminded me of day old cereal milk. But you cant tell what cereal it is that the milk is from. My husbands initial response was that it tasted the way dog food smells. I just laughed at his response, lol, say what. My sons enjoyed it along with the sprinkles on top. I mainly loved the atmosphere and space of the shop. We decided to be fair we needed to go back and try something else other than the ice cream to give our taste buds a second chance. I cant rule it out just yet, I am interested and intrigued enough to try another flavor of ice cream along with some baked goods. I can guarantee you I wont be getting cereal milk ice cream ever again.

Whatever is my opinion…. My husband had a Sammie and I got a big but boring funday sundae. Very super sweet and the taste has no interest, I really liked the Sammie though !

Great cakes I don’t reallyLike the cookies maybe kids will . I will update when I try the ice cream 🍦

GF a birthday cake is the stuff of my dreams!!! I need 50 slices!!!

I drove 8 hours to come to Milk Bar. Their ads were all over my Instagram. So I planned a whole trip to DC around visiting the shop! I got there mid afternoon and everyone was very friendly! I even told the lady I drove from Ohio to visit!! Despite some not good reviews, I had a very pleasant experience. The cake was DELICIOUS! For those who are wondering, it reminded me of a Twinkie LOL! The icing tastes very similar to the cream filling. I am a big foodie and love cake. This didn’t disappoint me :) Going back tomorrow to get a whole cake to take home to the family!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I needed a gluten-free allergy-friendly birthday cake to accommodate various severe food allergies. They went above and beyond, even checking with their suppliers, to make sure our cake was safe and delicious. You already know the desserts are good but they also get a 10/10 for customer service.

Terrible flavor, overpriced and generally not worth it! I had such high expectations for this place and it ended up disappointing me completely. I’m saying this sincerely - this is the worst dessert shop I have ever been to. I’m never coming back. Save your money and go elsewhere!

Milk is Pastry Chef Christina Tosis brain child. This mini sweets boutique celebrates classic American desserts with a twist. A must-try is the iconic Cereal Milk soft serve laced with satly sweet Corn Flake crunch! Your favorite childhood confections like Birthday cake are made naked w creamy layers of fluffy vanilla icing, doused with balls of Birthday Cake Crunch and generous showering of rainbow sprinkles. You cant help but smile. Drop in when you need a sweet pick-me-up and a friendly smile!

I love their cereal ice cream. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and salty.

Stamp of approval for these goodies! Everything about their confetti cake was tasty. It was moist and the icing tasted like a mixture of butter cream and cream cheese icing 😋🤤. Their cornflake marshmallow cookie was good too. Not too sweet. Great texture. But it DIDN’T LOOK LIKE THE COOKIE ADVERTISED 📢🙄. And the desserts are pricey for the portions received.

Very Delicious 😋

Friendly staff, but the food here is way overpriced. Their cake slices are also too sweet to eat for me.

Super pricey and not tasty. Not worth the value for money

I really couldn’t find what’s good about this place. The cashier was rude when we asked question about milkshakes and he didn’t even greet us or say thank you. I ordered chocolate birthday cake, birthday cake and two milkshakes. Everything i got was overly sweet and yes it was too sweet especially the filling/frosting that i had to separate it from the cake. Honestly, those cakes were like cakes from Giant or Safeway. The table was a mess, sticky and filthy. I’m not sure i would give a second chance to get different stuff but definitely not in this location. Probably, the one at City Center could have a better customer service.

After reading some negative reviews I was fully prepared to be disappointed in this place. I still wanted to try it though, since it was featured on a Netflix special.I bought a single slice of birthday cake and was so impressed! I loved the texture, and flavor. It had a slight fruity pebbles flavor, and the frosting was incredible. The cake itself was perfectly dense and moist, with the perfect frosting/cake ratio. There were crumbles mixed in between the cake layers. Yhe only disappointment was that the crumbles werent also on top of the slice as they would be when you buy the whole cake.I feel it was pricey at $7 for a single slice, but it was delicious and I will definitely be back!

Overall, it was just OK! The bday truffles are my FAVORITE, and I have gone back multiple times for them. The cereal milk ice cream is gross – its salty and leaves a nasty aftertaste in your mouth . . . not a fan! The crack pie is.... well, pie. Im from the south, so it really just tastes like a typical pie. It might be amazing to Northeasterners, idk. Id say, go for the experience and try what sounds good to you yourself. Milk really did not live up to the hype Chefs Table instilled in me.

I loooove coming here! I accidentally discovered the confetti cake a few years ago before moving to the area and fell in love with how perfect it is. I’ve tried just about everything they make and it’s all delicious. Texture is just as important as flavor here and the attention to detail given to the quality of ingredients is exceptional. I’ve also sent online orders to friends and family who have also raved about the speed of delivery and quality.

Absolutely love the cereal ice cream and crack pie. We obviously saw them on Netflix and made a stop. The only disappointment was we expected fresh cream on the birthday cake and not the frosting but it’s delicious regardless! Ice cream is definitely a must try. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. Overall positive experience and we’d stop by once during the holidays for sure!

Unique flavors and environment. The ice cream was light and salty.

If you plan on ordering for any sort of holiday. DO NOT!! THEY WILL DELAY YOUR ORDER PASSED THE DATE YOU SELECTED AND THE TREATS WONT EVEN BE GOOD ANYMORE. you have to throw them out and on top of that THEY DONT EVEN OFFER YOU A REFUND. they will send you to voicemail every time you call trying to inquire about why your order was delayed. Most unprofessional dessert service I have ever ordered for and I will be leaving nasty reviews every chance I get so I can help people avoid WASTING their money!

Honestly I didnt think it was very good at all. Everything is really over hyped, just go in with appropriate expectations otherwise youll be very dissapointed.

The store looks cute but the cookies were very disappointing! Dry and not very flavorful would not recommend to anyone. I have not tried anything else from the store but it seems like they were low quality shipped late and stale probably stuck in the Suez canal

I ordered a Valentine’s Day gift for my significant other and expected to have it to give to her. I ordered the cake / kit which cost me ~$70 for a mini cake and “truffles” 10 days before to ensure timely delivery. I saw ads everywhere for MilkBar and how you should “order now to ensure delivery” all through the next week. However, my order wasn’t even shipped until the day I asked for it to be delivered. I began calling to ask about the delivery and only encountered an unprofessional answering machine claiming to have a customer support team. The team took two days to reach back out to me to let me know they could replace my order, as it is still not here. I am very disappointed as this was going to be a big part of Valentine’s / my anniversary celebration. You would think that for selling (“mini”) cakes for $70 (which cost them less than 2 dollars to make) they would have the capital and resources to ensure timely delivery. Take my advice, go to Giant and buy a funfeti cake and icing. At least you know it will be ready on time.

My iced coffee was delicious. The store is super cute.

That was intense... Sugar, sugar, sugar. Ill take a few less sprinkles next time.

I ordered something for pick up and they had me do the regular line! What’s the point of even offering online pick up?

The best desserts anywhere in the world. We are so lucky to have milk Bar!

No vegan options..... Very disappointing that they dont offer a single choice without dairy and egg.

Such good treats and really creative selection

Cereal milk is genius and the crunchy cereal shake is outstanding. I usually dont like most desserts but that shake is way too impressive.

I ordered a chocolate milkshake - a plain chocolate milkshake. They skipped me and when they finally got back to me they gave me a milkshake loaded with sprinkles. I swallowed two gulps of sprinkles and just could not do it. So, I tossed it and left. Not worth the $8.

Their soft-serve with the cornflakes is solid. Its soft-serve so definitely not the same as a good ice cream in my opinion, but its definitely up there for what it is. Their pie situation is the most unhealthy, coma inducing, sweet and savory, fatten me up type of desert Ive had in a while. My advice...just get the milk bar pie.. you wont regret it.

Looks like a fun place. The Chocolate Truffles were awesome, like cold a brownie taste. Workers were kind of scattered and the cashier girl was tired looking. Would eat from here again.

Service wasnt the greatest but how could you not love shakes. This is good stuff. Its the way to my heart lol

A thin slice of birthday cake for $9 seems a little steep but it was still delicious. Staff were also super friendly.

Milk Bar is so good it makes me want to cry. I’ve had their cake, cookies and crack pie. But I feel like I’ve missed out if I visit and don’t get the cereal milk ice cream with those tasty cereal crunchies. Maybe some day I’ll branch out and try something else, but until then I’m perfectly content with this classic.

Cute little place, pricy for small portion but very good :)

Ordered an expensive birthday cake and it did not arrive on the day I ordered it for (his birthday). Called customer service and got sent to voicemail. Birthday boy was really disappointed :(

Great service! The truffles are amazing and the milk bar pie is to die for! Definitely worth the price!

The staff was kind but I cannot say as much for the manager Bradley. In not realizing I was a customer, he verbally berated me after I had parked in a non-parking space on accident despite my already apologizing to the employee I had mistakenly blocked in for less than ten minutes. For a man to berate a woman like that is inappropriate, unprofessional, and predatory. For a manager to berate a customer shows an utter lacking of character. Do not attend this business as a female customer.

I didnt like it.I just tried a one flavor.💜💜

I was looking forward to trying Milk Bar so badly. I ordered from Uber Eats, my ice cream was completely missing from my order, the milkshake my husband ordered was split and leaking... we called the store and the employee was extremely rude and did not do anything to help us and couldn’t even verify if my missing item was left behind, as I would’ve gone to get it myself. I am so beyond disappointed in this brand.

Nicest staff, best soft serveI was only in DC for the day, and one of the employees saw me staring through the window. He told me to come in and told me all about the different things on the menu for breakfast. I ended up with the regular cereal milk softserve anyway, and it lived up to the Chef’s Table hype. Took it to go.Thanks for making my day, guy at the Logan Circle Milk Bar who was opening on 2/7!

Staff was awesome and he food is good. Slightly pricey but worth doing at least once. Ask the staff about the off-menu quakes.

Amazing! Love the milkquake. Very rich and creamy. I personally have a sweet tooth so to some people they may find this too sweet.

Bought a piece of birthday cake and a 3-piece pack of chocolate cake truffles today. The cake truffle was not bad but the cake was super dry and stale and definitely cannot justify its hefty price tag of 8 dollar per slice (ordered through Uber eats) !

Good experience but not worthy of a 5 star. I watched her development on Chef’s Table. Everything tasted great but the prices are way over what they should be. We are used to paying well for food but this was too high for the value or experience. We dropped 56.00 on two pieces of pie, three cookies and a piece of cake. The people behind the bar weren’t that customer service oriented. They were too busy talking with each other.

I dont know what to say except that this Milk Bar, as well as all the other Milk Bars, is the definition of overhyped overpriced mediocrity. Ive also been to the one in City Center, and the one in East Village in NYC and I think I can say now that their products are just not good. I feel like their business model is 90% marketing and 10% quality and taste of their products. I actually prefer some brands of cookies that you find in grocery stories over their $2.75 a piece pre-packaged overly sweet (even for American standards) cookies. Gross. Dont buy into the hype and take your money somewhere else.

Christina would be disappointed. Not the typical Milk Bar experience.

I walked into this milk establishment at 8:45 p.m. and I was not served and the manager on duty would not even look my way for no reason and he was extremely rude and extremely disrespectful hes a tall white gentleman with ears pierced and a low-cut beard and a hat on and I think he needs to work on his interpersonal skills his managerial skills and his skills to run a smooth operation other than that the other two lovely black female employees were amazing

I had been following Milk Bar for about a year on Instagram. Id been dying to go there. My husband and I were in the area and decided to stop in. We ordered 2 slices of birthday cake and 1 ice cream to share. The cake was really dry and the icing was hard. The ice cream was not very good either...had a weird aftertaste. We threw both away after a few bites. What waste of 23 bucks. Well at least the staff was nice...

Great class, beautiful location.

Very unique and tasty on a hot summer night

The cereal milk soft serve was so much fun!

Delicious!! But a little overpriced

My boyfriend surprised me today and took me here for my birthday. I found the place to be cute, but that’s about it. The workers were not very warm or helpful and the cakes that we got though they look beautiful were dry, crunchy/stale and too sweet. We found ourselves with half-eaten cake and upset stomachs. We definitely don’t plan on ever returning and are kind of bummed we spent so much money for cake we couldn’t even finish.

Nice and sweet (:

This was my first time going to Milk Bar. I got plain soft serve ice cream with sprinkles. It looked great, but it tasted horrible. It wasnt sweet to me. It tasted salty. Like extremely salty. I couldnt finish it. I had to throw it away. I would not recommend the ice cream at all. The atmosphere and the decor was really cute, but if I go back Im definitely not getting the ice cream.

🥛

Their cereal milk ice cream is out of this world

We came here a few weekends ago and we checked out the Wharf a few days later. Two completely different experiences but not in a bad way!! This being the flagship location it was a lot bigger and they had different toppings for the soft serve! They also have a section of lab items that change every weekend. We had the pleasure of trying the birthday soft serve and it was DELICIOUS! Not to mention the staff was beyond friendly, helpful, and very patient with first timers like us, even though they were obviously busy with a bit of a line! We didnt wait long at all for our soft serve and the milk bar pie was amazing too! Will definitely stop by again!

The cereal milk was actually kind of... A novelty. -I wouldnt say so delicious that Id get it again. The birthday truffles and the crack pie, however, were awesome. Great texture, great flavor.This store in particular was pretty good. Clean, nice staff, good decor. I would come again for sure, just probably not the cereal milk.

We were handed mini sample cups of soft serve ice cream as soon as we walked in. The two flavors were cereal and fruity milk. They were both good and pretty much satisfied the ice cream crave. The crack pie was good but the portion was a bit on the small side for $6. The chocolate shake was pretty good! The strawberry and corn milkquake was just a bit on the sweet side but it was good as well.

Ive visited this Milkbar 6 or 7 times, including getting birthday items. The food is overpriced and far too sweet, but its somewhat fancy and has unique textures that are appealing. All in all Ive spent at least a couple hundred there since they opened. All that changed last week when I ordered two milkshakes and asked for a cup of water, which was refused by two employees due to their policy of only selling water bottles. Any restaurant that wont give a cup of water to a PAYING customer, especially on an extremely hot summer day, is not a business that should be supported. Just rude. I 100% support their right to make their own business policy choices, but I also support my right to not be happy about it. I wont be back and I will encourage others to avoid this place as well. There are better businesses to support.

I just got back from Milk Bar. What a disappointment. I walked up to the shop from downtown intending to buy a bunch of things for a Valentines Day party tonight. I was there shortly after they opened and I was the only one there. You would think that on Valentines Day of all days they would be well-stocked. Wrong. The cases were maybe half full. And the selection was completely underwhelming. I turned around and walked out without buying a thing.

Ive been waiting to visit a milk bar location for ever and today I finally got to go, what a HUGE let down :(. The employee who helped us was a bit rude, the prices were ridiculous and the cookies tasted very processed and extremely sweet, my kids wouldnt even finish them! The store was cute but thats the only good thing I can say. What I thought would be a new family favorite is now a new place to avoid.

The smell of the food will take hold of you when you walk. Like Hantzel and Gretel you may never leave❤️

I have been patiently waiting to try the beautiful cake that I see in the pics all the time.....finally, I got to go! So fresh and delicious. Worth the wait but now that I know they ship their tasty goodies, I can have Milk Bar in NC whenever I want! And, the staff was amazing and answered all my questions.

I went here after seeing the Chef’s Table documentary about it, and I bought a piece of cake, a cookie, and some ice cream. I bought the cake despite the shocking $9-per-slice price tag because it looked perfect and the documentary added to the appeal. The cake was dry though, which was a huge disappointment. The corn cookie was overwhelmingly sweet and too full of corn flavor. The ice milk was delicious, but the price per pint is sky high. I think I would have been happier with the experience if the documentary hadn’t made this place out to be heaven on earth.

$6 + tax, + toppings, + tip (?? for soft serve ice cream, really?), for ice cream that tastes like its half vanilla, half salt (both the compost flavor and the original cereal milk flavor). Looks pretty, but have tried it twice, and have choked down what is surely many times my daily serving of sodium each time.

Maybe the ice cream isn’t for everyone but their ice cream is not sweet at all... it tasted salty! Very peculiar taste. I would personally not recommend this ice cream

My first time ever at a milk bar.A little underwhelming, the staff here seemed a bit unhappy and grumpy. I got there in the morning at about 11 (my travel arrangements only allowed for this time) and it seemed that I was the first customer in the morning , there was no one else. The ice cream was very very good - tasted exactly like cereal milk, the cake balls were amazing but the pie was not good - very very sweet and nothing interesting about it. Would recommend a visit because there are many options.

Its really expensive and, frankly, not great.I was hesitant to buy a $2.75 cookie that was prepackaged, and I shouldve trusted my gut.

Salty ice cream.

I’m a big dessert fan and have heard a lot about milk bar. I pretty much got one of everything (compost cookie, corn cookie, crack pie, chocolate truffles, birthday cake.) I was disappointed. It’s just not that good. Things are just really sweet or really sweet and really salty. However, the corn cookie was interesting and the ambience was cool.
