Milk Bar polarizes: reviews praise the in-store classics like Cereal Milk soft serve, Milk Bar Pie, Birthday Cake, and cake truffles as nostalgic, inventive, and delicious, yet many find products overwhelmingly sweet and note uneven quality in packaged grocery items. Reviews also flag inconsistent freshness and multiple failed or late deliveries, while applauding playful branding and gift appeal, plus solid gluten-free options.

I'm going to be honest with you, I'm from Belgium so I haven't tried their cakes (yet). BUT, I have made their famous Birthday Cake recipe, and oh my that was the best cake I've eaten. I pretty much used all the exact ingredients so it's safe to say that I've tried the cake *wink*. It is now my go to recipe for any birthday coming up.

Love Milkbar! Have purchased via both ecomm & in store. Excited they've launched their ice cream in retail stores. Pricey but worth it.
I wanted to love Milkbar unfortunately it was wayy too sweet and I didn't like it at all. If you like super sweet baked goods you will love Milkbar!

Less sugar
The cakes are always a hit when I order them for friend's birthdays - just be prepared for an extreme sugar rush.
B'day cake shake and cereal milk soft serve is my to-go! Love the iconic flavor the brand made. You can't go wrong with Milkbar dessert.

I used to live right next store to the original Milkbar and this one of my go to's to bring to parties or a cool snack in the fall. Yum!
I would be more likely to spend the money on this brand's products at their brick and mortar stores. Their in-store sold products are nothing special and a little overpriced for 2 cookies.
Feedback
Their prices are just not worth their products, especially on top of the, although necessary, very high shipping costs. I think their products are more for aesthetic than anything.

Love the cookies and pie. The cereal milk soft serve is also amazing. Such creative flavors.

Some of the desserts can be a little too sweet
I have loved Milkbar ever since I watched the chef's table episode with Christina Tosi. I visited their store in las vegas and loved every baked good I tried. I recently did a campaign with them for their ready to eat pre-packaged cookies and I like that idea as well.
Feedback
Milkbar should have more locations, specifically in Texas (like Sprinkles) and improve the taste of their pre-packaged cookies. They were soft but tasted a little dull and the two cookies in each package really stuck together.
great tastes and cool flavors!
I had this cake for our friends birthday, and I personally thought it was very good. There are a lot of mixed reviews from my other friends, mainly about the icing on the cake, which we thought was sour cream based icing. However, I very much enjoyed the tangy icing, the cookie crumbles found within the cake, and the topping of cookie on top it was very good. I will definitely be ordering more, especially the limited edition, fall, apple crisp flavor.
Feedback
Only critique I would have is to make cupcakes for the people who just want a small taste of the cake and who don’t need an entire cake.
too sweet !!! it’s creative - tasty - but ear achingly sweet
Feedback
cut that sugarrr
They are a lot sweeter than I would have liked. The cake is really cute but it's really pricey for a taste that I couldn't quite enjoy because it was so sweet. I would recommend the cake truffles, they are easier to enjoy and you still can try the different flavors.

I have ordered MilkBar for 4 different birthdays and during covid we even shipped one to each family member so we could all have cake on video together for my brothers birthday! The cake is great, the cookies are way too sweet. I am a repeat customer and they even offer gluten-free cakes and cookies! They delivered all of them on time too!
Feedback
Just improve the cookie recipe to be less sweet.

Great flavors and love the cookies they sell in the fridge isles.
Feedback
Some cookies are a bit too sweet. Also would love to see more sustainable packaging.
I've been a huge fan of Milkbar for nearly a decade and was seriously addicted to the cereal milk soft serve for several months. There isn't one item on the menu that I wouldn't suggest which is uncommon, but everything is truly so amazing.
Feedback
The line of goods that have entered grocery stores are of a MUCH lower quality. It's understandable, but the difference is so drastic that they might as well not be the same brand.
I get the birthday cake every year for my birthday without fail. I also love gifting the birthday truffles.
Feedback
ordering direct from the store can be dicey, Doordash or other delivery services are much more reliable. Would like to support them directly but have had issues in the past of cancelled deliveries.
Received these as a gift and they were very cute. Loved the packaging and unique flavors.
I really love that milk bar has expanded their products in retail stores the last few years! I did take a star off though as unfortunately a couple products (one was prepackaged cookies) were just not as great as they could be. The frozen treats though are phenomenal, with the cake batter bites being one of my go to desert bites when I just want a really tiny sweet treat.
I’m not a huge dessert person but the cake is amazing. I get it every year for my birthday :)
