Milk Bar offers a unique and innovative dessert experience with top-notch creativity and quality. Their cereal milk ice cream and birthday cake-flavored treats are fan favorites. However, many customers find their products overly sweet and some of their offerings, like the pre-made cookies, do not live up to the hype. There are also issues with online order delivery and freshness of some products.

Their gluten free products are so yummy! Buying their gluten free birthday cakes has been such a highlight. It tastes delicious and the little truffles hidden throughout the layer are delicious! I love their truffles and their marshmallow cookies as well! Definitely a fun and festive celebration. It’s fun to that you can order it online and have it delivered to your doorstep. Also their ice cream 🍦 is super yummy too! A fun day out at the mall and some ice cream as a reward! Must try! 😋

Love these crunchy cookies so much. I won an Eastern raffle on my birthday last year and was gifted the birthday cookies. It was such a yummy treat!

Milk Bar has completely redefined dessert for me! Their cakes are a total indulgence, with unique flavors that are both nostalgic and innovative. The cake I tried was moist, flavorful, and packed with layers of creamy frosting that perfectly balanced the sweetness. The best part? They deliver fresh, straight to your door! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself, Milk Bar’s creations are a must-try for anyone who loves a fun twist on classic desserts. 🎂💖

Had the cake truffles. They were very oily - so much so that it leaves a film in your mouth. Overly sweet and didn't taste fresh. Not worth the hype for me.

Delicious sweet treats that are great for special occasions! I love their birthday cakes - add a special twist to any occasion!
Love milk at, the taste, the mission behind the company, the packaging. Definitely worth a try if you like sweets

Milk Bar's cereal milk ice cream is next level, giving me major childhood vibes in the best way. But man, I miss that addictive cr*ck pie... it was pure dessert magic.

I ordered a cake to be delivered on Jan 11th for my daughter’s birthday on Jan 12th. On Jan 8th I received a shipping notification showing it was picked up in Texas and was scheduled to arrive on the 10th. 10th came and went and the location of the cake stayed the same. 11th came and went with no cake. I emailed the company Saturday expecting to hear back on Monday..nothing! No cake Sunday or Monday. Emailed again yesterday with no response. If it comes today there’s no way I’m eating it because obviously it’s a week old now. Wish their customer service was better!

Terrible Terrible Terrible service and company. I ordered a cake for an august 1 birthday dinner, picking August 1 as the delivery date. I called Aug 1 to see why my cake did not ship and if i would have it for the dinner i was throwing. They dont answer phones requiring me to email. I emailed twice and did not hear back until August 3 (after the birthday dinner was held cakeless). They offered to cancel the order (which made sense since they never shipped the cake) and offered me a whopping $15 credit to make up for a birthday dinner that did not have a cake. They clearly think their customers are worthless. What they should have done was apologize profusely and send s free cake snd other items to try to make iup for their mess up. I would never recommend buying from them if you need something for an event or otherwise. They are bad in all respects.
I've only tried the mini crunchy cookies from this brand, but they are delicious. Both flavors I tried were equally as good. I like that the bags can be resealed after opening.

This is a vintage review as I don’t really buy their products much today (I guess I could visit them in a neighborhood I’m not in often but idk) even though I see them at work, but I am very fond of their products in other ways. I actually worked and frequented the area in which the original Milk Bar location opened (blocks from NYC’s Union Square and I lamented the day they opened their limited storefront across the street and the soft serve selection was never the same again) during 2009-2011. I spent many years cooking variations of their Blueberry & Cream Cookies with different mix-ins and different permutations of their layers cakes before they became available nationally, but not for a while. Yes, I baked the cake in the photo. Also, their banana cream pie is not to be slept on as it uses overripe bananas. Honorable mention: Ants on a Log soft serve with raisins.
As of today, I have only tried the cookies, which were a kind and generous gift from the Thingtesting team. They are worth the hype. And now I know they sell cake and ice cream. I have a feeling I will be trying those soon too 😎
Just ordered a gluten free cake for my friends bachelorette and it was so good. I’m not a gluten free person and have no need to be and usually can toast a difference but not with milk bar. Absolutely wonderful cake it was completely gone by the second day. 10/10. Given it was shipped too, in perfect condition!
Love Milk Bar! The birthday cake is so delicious, but very rich and sweet. A small slice per person is plenty. Their birthday cake and chocholate truffles are my favorite. If you can make it to a storefront, the cereal milk soft serve is amazing. I've interacted with their customer service about an issue and they're stellar as well.

I had their cookie ice cream sandwich and Omg that thing is so sweet and tasty. I am not a huge sweet person but I think whoever like cereal milk concept would love this stuff!

Very pricey!! I think Dominque Ansel is better ….
Im obsessed with all things Christina Tosi and Milk Bar is no exception. Everything Milk Bar has to offer is interesting, delightful, and unique. Both in store and online order is absolutely worth it. The iconic Birthday Cake is familiar yet unexpected. All the cookies are absolutely delicious with my favorite being Blueberries and Cream. Can't forget the Crack Pie (literal crack with how yummy it is!), which in my opinion is their most underrated dessert they have to offer. You cannot go wrong with anything at Milk Bar!
Omigod, Milkbar! I first read about this confectionary/bakery in a magazine, which featured a recipe for their cereal milk cookies. We decided to purchase from them direct for a birthday, and we have now ordered from them three times. They're expensive and decadent. It's definitely a special occasion type package. First, a chocolate birthday cake set (with ice cream and truffles). I'm not a fan of chocolate, but it was for my husband, who devoured the truffles instantly and worked on the cake diligently for days. The cereal milk ice cream in nuanced and not too rich. The cake arrived in perfect condition the first time and was very pretty. The second order was tinned cookies for Xmas. The tin was very cute and the cookies were are intact and beautiful. It took us several days to get through them, as they're large. Also, yum. The third order was an individual cake (fruit flavored), which arrived in good (but not great) condition. Minor shipping bumps and imperfections, which were easily fixed with a cake knife. We will continue ordering from them.

Living on the west coast, I have had no significant shipping problems with MilkBar (so far), as my specific products haven't shipped too far/ for too long, but I imagine someone living in one of the interior states could easily have a bad experience. Consider the realities of the shipping process and order more/less fragile items accordingly. Cookies are extremely durable. Truffles are durable, except in summer. Cakes are moderately durable, but don't expect it to arrive looking pristine at any time of the year (unless you're really lucky with your handlers), and expect it to melt in heat. Ice cream isn't durable at all, so be realistic about whether you should expect it to arrive before the ice packs melt and it turns to soup. MilkBar appears to try their best with packaging, but it's still edible goods. There's plenty of room for a bad experience to occur.
I tried Milk Bar’s cereal milk soft serve at their flagship store in NYC - it wasn’t my favorite thing in the world because it had a salty taste to it. I also tried their confetti cookie, and this was super delicious!!
I enjoyed this product so much that I have multiple little tins around the house that I use for storage. The cookie tins are also a great gift that keeps well. It's always a bummer when someone is sent lots of treats on their big day and they go bad before they can get through everything. This isn't an issue at all with Milkbar!

I think having a variety of different size cookies would be beneficial for those who just want a taste.
