  • worth the hype, sorry. The cereal milk soft serve is truly great, buttery, salty, sweet and creamy. With the cereal topping for more texture it becomes even better.

  • The Milk bar legitimately sucks ass. The cereal milk ice cream taste weird and does not taste like cereal milk to me. The former "crack pie" (they renamed it to something else) was basically a sugar pie lol. The cookies are meh

  • replying to u/GoodHagriddance: Oof skipping Milk Bar makes me sad (I was suckered in by the Chef's Table ep) but I'm totally getting the message about Magnolia, thank you. Librae looks good! We're staying relatively close to Pizza Suprema and yeah, have found it to be a bit of a food dead zone for us. I'll keep it as a safety net but not prioritise it. That's great to know.

    Milk bar was good in its original form, but then they expanded and became sort of a factory premade and shipped to their many, many stores thing. It’s now very mediocre.

  • Great actual deep cocoa flavor with some tang in a nice moist cake. Then, the cheesecake and frosting. It was a bit hard to know what was frosting and what was cheesecake when it was all together, but I didn't care. Super thick, rich, creamy, great cream cheese flavor. I quite enjoyed it.

  • the Milk Bar Birthday Cake is the ultimate funfetti cake with artificial vanilla extract that screams childhood and it’s one of my favorite cakes of all time.

  • replying to u/turkeybone: I'm always happy for people to get out of the food industry, but also disappointed to see how terrible milk bar products are now

    Milk Bar has been terrible for years. I keep ordering, including a big birthday cake for my daughter, in hopes of it just being a bad day, but nope. It's terrible. Very, very sweet and it all tastes very over-processed.
