The Best Soft Serve in New York City

"Subtle is not an option at this shop, where the joy is in choosing from the staggering menu of cereals, toppings, and mix-ins to blend in with vanilla or cookie dough soft serve flavors. The Chinatown-based Milk & Cream is also worth visiting for its off-the-wall collaborations and experiments, like a green Reptar ice cream bar in conjunction with Rugrats or an ice cream nugget with First We Feast. For the uninitiated, try the Apple Jacks Avalanche, a perfect homage to childhood memories." - John Tsung, Eater Staff

Milk & Cream Cereal Bar - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"If you like cereal and being the master of your own destiny, this is a good spot for you. Choose a cereal from their long list, then they’ll grind it up and blend it into soft serve to-order. Toppings include fruit, nuts, candy, cookie dough, and drizzles like honey and grape jelly. The number of potential combinations will either be thrilling or intimidating, depending on what type of person you are. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

If you love cereal in the morning or anytime of day and love ice cream, this is an interesting spot to try. They blend your cereal of choice with vanilla/ cookie dough ice cream and add your toppings of choice. They also have happy hour deals till 6:00 p.m. Prices are decent (signature is about $9). There will be only one flavor in a serving so it can get boring towards the end and you can't sample it also. So it is a risk. Texture and flavor are good however. My friend liked his banana and cream signature, but I was not a big fan of the chocolate s'mores signature that I got as it got boring for me towards the middle. If you're not a big fan of cereal, I would not recommend it but if you are, you are probably in for a treat.

Awesome experience. The staff was extremely friendly. Loved the atmosphere. Whenever I think of cereal I remember my childhood and watching cartoons. Guess what? They have cartoons playing (Power Puff Girls, Johnny Bravo, etc.). My cone was delicious. I will definitely be going back.

What an adorable spot Milk & Cream Cereal Bar is! The decor is cozy and relaxing with colorful patterns and limited seating. We stopped by after our dinner in Chinatown and enjoyed their vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cereal so much. It’s rich, creamy and layered with crispy and crunchy cereals. However, the wait for the order was kind of bad even though there was no line.

Very quick and friendly service. Ice cream is not too sweet which is perfect for my taste as the sprinkles balance it out to have a delicious taste. It was cold outside but there were small outdoor stations with a heater which in my opinion didn’t really help. We opted on leaving. Didn’t really matter as the shake and ice cream are amazing.

The lines are absolutely insane every time I go there. The product they are putting out is pretty freaking good though. All in all I really enjoyed my ice cream. The concept is solid and the venue is pretty nice with plenty of picture opportunities. I would go back if I had more friends to distract me from the long wait times. Last time I went it was a bit warm for an ice cream spot

Friendly and fast service! For $7, the serving is very generous — I think they put in about 3-4 scoops of ice cream per cup. I ordered fruit loops and reeces cereal with cookie dough ice cream and it definitely satisfied my craving. The cereal flavours are quite subtle but definitely there. Surprisingly, the cookie dough ice cream did not overpower the cereal flavors! The staff were very professional and served our ordered within a minute! I would definitely go back, but instead of ordering one each, I will be sharing.

This was such a cute ice cream shop. Two great things put together, ice cream and cereal. I love the concept, the different cartoons playing on different small screens on the wall was entertaining. I got the cookie crisp carnival! The staff was super friendly and helpful. I thought my cone came with cookie crisp cereal on top and once they saw I wasn’t 100% happy with my order they asked if everything was okay , and then added the cereal on top for me. Thank you guys! I had a great time here :) can’t wait to come back

I enjoyed Milk and Cream. The atmosphere is really chill no pun intended. You can hangout for some time because of how nice this place is. I really like the ice cream, and the number of combinations means this place won't get stale any time soon. I am definitely coming back soon with my friends for dessert. Perfect place to go after a night out.

I REALLY liked this place. The inside was really cool and the ice cream was unique and fun as well as delicious. I enjoyed a frozen Reptar Bar which was beautifully decorated and covered in a yummy hard chocolate shell. Service takes a bit so be patient. I hope this place comes back!

Happy birthday, Garfield!!! Wow! The big 45 ... Hands down, my favorite cartoon cat, and I'm so excited to celebrate him. Milk & Cream Cereal Bar is celebrating Garfield's 45th birthday with the PURRRRfect  themed menu. On the menu: Cherry Pie Cake Pie Ice Cream Swirl & Milkshake Strawberry Lasagna Royale Not only is the Strawberry Lasagna Royale yummy, but it is also adorable Ig:thefunfluencer

Stumbled upon this place after my friend and I were craving some sweets after dinner in the Chinatown area. Not a huge soft serve person but surprisingly I really enjoyed this place! I got the cookie dough ice cream with cookie crisp (cereal option) and cookie dough pieces (topping) with a chocolate drizzle. It's cool to see them mixing and churning the ice cream with your cereal of choice. Liked how the soft serve was soft but didn't melt too quickly. Couldn't really taste the cookie dough flavor within the ice cream but I did like how the cereal gave it some crunch but wasn't soggy at all. Cookie dough pieces were pretty solid. The waffle cone almost tasted like generic cereal too and had some vanilla wafer vibes (as opposed to waffle cone). The portion was pretty big for a dessert! Good amount of seating available and everything was clean. Staff were polite!

Nostalgic ice cream creations, incorporating childhood favorite cereals into soft serve. The Lower East Side shop is colorful and cute, with digital signs displaying the various flavor combinations. Creations are blended to order, so you can craft your own flavors, or choose from their specials menu (recommended). If you've had a McFlurry or Dairy Queen Blizzard, this is similar, but better. An hour before closing, they were sold out of every special except the P-Nut Jelly Crumble. They also did not have the grape drizzle it comes with, but they were able to swap it for strawberry, which was likely just as good. There were no cones available either, but they did have cup cones, which ended up being a good move; these treats melt quickly! On a weeknight in August, it took 30 minutes for my order to be completed. Fortunately, it was worth the wait. The P-Nut Jelly Crumble was delicious. I loved the muted peanut flavor of the Reese's Puffs blended into the creamy soft serve, and the crunch from the roasted peanuts and Reese's Pieces on top. Inventory issues aside, Milk & Cream is a unique, well executed concept.

Stop by on a Sunday afternoon while in the neighborhood. It was fairly empty. They have standard creations or you can make your own like I did. Choose a base, cereal mix in, toppings and drizzle. Staff was friendly and efficient! We sat towards the front of the store in a cozy corner and listened to their music which was great!

Typical ice cream joint, trying to put a unique spin on it by adding cereal as a main component of the toppings. Nothing tasted bad. Just didn't feel like it was anything special. $8.50 for a soft serve ice cream cup. If you love cereal and want to try it, go for it. Not sure if I'd go out of the way to get it

The ice cream here is delicious! However the portions are quite large and I can never finish them and I feel wasteful when I have to throw it out. Other than that, they offer a fun variety of flavor and topping options! Ambiance is really nice and Instagrammable, and so are the desserts here!

I'm shocked by how much I loved my ice cream here. I think what got me was that I'm a sucker for a good blend. When ice cream places let me choose an ice cream and a topping and actually combine them to essentially make my own little creation, it GETS me, okay. (I'm looking at you, Thomas Sweet near Princeton... it has my heart) But I didn't realize they did it here too! I thought it was just cereal with soft serve, but NO. They COMBINE them, baby. I ended up choosing one of their fixed menu options because I wanted something that was tested and good, so I went with their Banana Cream, which is an ice cream that has bananas and honey bunches of oats combined into one. I was a little terrified when I was handing over my money because this was a whopping $9.80, which is a little crazy, BUT for that $9.80 I got a HEFTY cup of ice cream. It's 100% shareable if you're getting a fixed menu item. My friend and I sat at a table for what felt like at least an hour as I savored each bite. The ice cream was smooth and the honey bunches added a great texture to it, AND went so well with the banana flavor they added. I would definitely come back and try more of their menu items and maybe even make my own lil creation next time!

This may be my new favorite ice cream place! I ordered the Froot Berry Bliss, although I rarely opt for a fruity option when having ice cream. I loved it!! May seem pricey but it is a sizable portion. You could probably share with someone. I of course enjoyed the entire thing. They have several tables and seats at the bar, where you can watch the employees whip up the concoctions being ordered. It was nice being able to sit at the bar and not have to eat it in the heat. You also need to have some patience when you order. They blend the ice cream and cereal as it's ordered. Well with the wait!

Interesting concept! My friends mentioned it a while back but I haven't gone till recently. There's a wall to the left when you enter that walks you through how to order and the various combinations that you can combine. I would go again to try out other mixtures if I'm in the area

Cute place, cute ice creams, but not a lot going on. They only have vanilla soft serve. The staff does artistically and carefully add your toppings on top, making it look really pretty. But for the amount and lack of flavors, it's pretty expensive. I likely won't be returning, but it's a super cute ice cream spot. I think it'd be cute for a date. They have interesting screen decor indoors and colorful walls.

I visited Milk & Cream for the first time back in 2019, and knew I would want to come back on my next trip to NYC! I've never been to another ice cream place quite like it. As you can probably tell by the name, Milk & Cream is based all around cereal. Basically, all of their ice creams are breakfast cereals that are blended up and topped with yummy toppings of your choice. I went with the Cookie Crisp Carnival, which has Cookie Crisp ice cream, cookie dough and crumbled Oreos. I used to have this cereal a lot as a kid, and biting into it as an ice cream was a trip down memory lane. It was so yummy! The other thing I love about Milk & Cream is the decor. They have these screens on the wall playing retro morning cartoons like the kind you may have watched as a kid. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in NYC!

Saw this place on Yelp and thought it would be kind of interesting to get some cereal-inspired desserts. We ordered the cocoa dough ice cream signature creation as well made our own custom cereal bowl that consisted of Reese's, Cookie Crisps, and cookie dough. Everything was great, though I wish they had oat milk as an option for lactose-free (they do have almond milk). Don't let the cereal aspect fool you, this place has fantastic mixtures of classic desserts and cereal toppings. It honestly just makes so much sense to combine the two since cereal is so incredibly sweet already. Recommended if you're looking for a new spin on something sweet that isn't generic cookies or ice cream.

The slight tease of NYC warmth got me craving ice cream and I randomly saw a post about this place on ig so it felt like it was meant to be! I arrived around 3PM on a Monday and ordered immediately. When it comes to ordering, you have the option of creating your own ice cream, choosing a specialty, or choosing one of their other non ice cream items such as a milkshake or cereal. For the create your own, you get to choose one cereal which gets blended into your ice cream of choice (vanilla or cookie dough), one choice of topping, and one choice of drizzle. Not gonna lie, it initially didn't occur to me that the cereal gets blended WITH the ice cream. Anyways, I ended up choosing fruity pebbles for my cereal, gummy bears as my topping, and honey as my drizzle. Honestly, this literally tasted like cereal and milk in ice cream form! The texture is super unique with the soft serve and the crispy bits of cereal. It's definitely on the sweet side and you'll feel it midway through the dessert. Despite the concept being cool, one downside is that it is relatively pricy for an ice cream cone ($8). Wouldn't consider myself being a regular here but I'd be down to recommend it to my friends when in the area! FYI: Cup and cone are the SAME PRICE! I tried asking for mines in a cup with a cone on the side but they said they'd charge me extra so I guess you can't do that?? But also they gave me an empty cup when I got my cone so not sure why it's gotta be that way since that's practically the same thing but more inconvenient lol

I have been craving some ice cream and i had not been to milk & cream cereal bar in so long. I went in and got a cone of smores with brownie bites and honey. I had wanted to get a cup and have them top it with a cone but they said that couldn't be done. They said i could get a cone and they will give me a cup which i found a little funny as its basically the same thing. I never eat my ice cream fast enough so i always get it in a cup to keep it from melting into my had but also get a cone topped as i enjoy the crunch. The smores ice cream was really yummy with the honey drizzle made it the perfect amount of sweetness.

The cereal milk soft serve really taste different, it kinda taste sweet combine with savory. Not as creamy as normal soft serve. They also have topping options if you prefer to sweeten it up. From their menu they also have a large selection of sweets, from cakes to milk shakes. Store front is small very fast just grab and go.

I'm an avid ice cream lover and my husband doesn't love sweets. Go figure! So when we were visiting NYC and found this gem, it was a win win as I was able to get my ice cream fix and he got a bowl of cereal with milk! Will definitely be back next time we visit NYC.

I love this concept! Not only do they combine cereal with ice cream, but they actually incorporate them together so it's a blended experience of flavors. There were a lot of options for cereals and toppings as well. The vanilla ice cream was a good texture between hard and soft and tasted great with the fruity pebbles I chose. The staff were friendly and efficient and the place was clean and bright. Would definitely recommend this to anyone that loves cereal and ice cream!!

Came here a few days ago and ordered the value combo, with a cookies & cream croffle as well as a cookies & cream shake. My boyfriend really enjoyed it, but I thought everything was much too sweet. The croffle was pretty good though, so if I were to come again I'd probably just order the plain croffle. +1 for having a kiosk to order at!

Okay, I came specifically for the Rugrats-edition ice cream before it ended the next day, and while I can't tell you at ALL what the flavor was (Reptar-flavored??) I can tell you that it was delicious. And somehow just FUN to eat. I am not one to generally eat things without knowing exactly what's in it (not in the obsessively-read-the-label-ingredients sort of way, but the very picky, I better know if there's onions, peppers, what's the sauce, I hate fruit toppings kind of way. Whatever it was, it was delicious, colorful and pleasing to the eye, had SPRINKLES, was creamy, high-quality, a healthy portion, and makes me wonder how I haven't paid a trip to this place earlier. I will most DEFINITELY be coming back, and I love that they had outdoor seating for me to enjoy it, WITH pretty hip tunes playing as well to add to the ambience.

This place definitely had a line but moved quick. They have a prefixed menu to make ordering easy but can also create your own blend of toppings. Ice cream is definitely big enough to share- all toppings are blended and then blended into the ice cream. We ordered the Apple Jacks Avalanche and was definitely a refreshing ice cream choice and not too heavy.

I've been craving Milk & Cream Cereal Bar ice cream since the day I was here. God!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the best icecream I've had in a long time. Loved the fact that you can create your own combination or choose one from their recommendations. I got my own combination with fruity pebbles and captain crunch cereal, topped with more fruity pebbles and strawberry and honey drizzle. My boyfriend got their Chocolate S'mores galore combination without the cone. If you're a cereal lover, plus and icecream lover, then this is the place you need to try!!!!!!!!!!! I can't really say much more... this place was like HEAVEN to me. Andddd, the line goes by pretty fast so don't let that come in the way. Can't wait to be back!!!!! 1,000,000 times recommended!!!

Similar to Milk bar, this place has a four step process in order to get your soft serve! 1. choose your base (cup or cone) 2. choose cereal 3. choose topping 4. choose sauce They mix the cereal into the soft serve, so it taste cohesive and delicious in each bite. We were able to snag indoor seating and my friend & I shared a delicious cup of soft serve together. I also really liked the decoration of the place. Taste: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5

Sing it with me everyone: I am Reptar, hear me roar, I am Reptar, the king of dinosaurs That's right! I ended up coming here for the 30th anniversary of Rugrats celebration (oh my dear lord do I feel old now). You walk into this location and everything is shockingly decked out in Rugrats images! There's a bit of a line to order but everything is done super efficiently and it really only took 5-10 minutes to get what I ordered: A Reptar on Ice slush and a Reptar Ice Cream bar. Honestly, I was kind of scared of the Reptar on Ice slush. It was a green apple Jolly Rancher flavored slush with popping boba on top. Which to my almost middle aged self sounds like a sugar bomb. Which, it kind of is, but on a hot day, it was super refreshing. The green apple tartness really comes through and the popping boba was a nice little fun surprise when you would catch them. The bar itself, was also quite nice. The shell of the bar tasted like high quality chocolate. The inside of the bar (appropriately green, mind you) was filled with a standard ice cream base but had these chocolate covered marshmallows inside, which was pretty cool. Granted, I cannot attest to the fact if the bar turned my tongue green or not, but this was a suitable tribute to the Rugrats anniversary. I will totally be back here to try the year round offerings!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! There is always a long line when I visit but that's no surprise since this place is so amazing! My husband and I love to try new ice cream spots and when this one opened up we couldn't resist. Not only do they sell ice cream, but cereal as well (my second favorite food) Lol! Milk & Cream Cereal Bar has had a couple cute themes to my knowledge (SpongeBob and Ninja Turtles) where they sold cool ice cream creations that went with the theme. My brother tried the Krabby Patty ice cream and, and thought it was really cool but couldn't finish it all. My husband and I always go for the basics though. I love the vanilla ice cream with fruity pebbles and Oreo cookie pieces on top. My husband gets vanilla with cookie crunch mixed in. Both are DELICIOUS! We highly recommend!

Fast service, the restaurant was nice and clean and my sister and dad loved the items they got. My dad got a basic vanilla milkshake and my sister got Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream with crumble on top. I do feel like the items were a bit pricey but I guess it is Nyc. And also by looking at the menu I didn't see any milk substitutes (almond, oat) so I wonder if this is available or if they only use whole milk.

Love love LOVEEEE!!! I've been having my eye on this place for a few years now and I finally went these past two months (July + august) I've been here over 5x and became a regular! I get the cocoa puff milkshake with peanuts and chocolate drizzle, so thick, so creamy, milky and chocolate-y goodness I've introduced my family and boyfriend to this place and we love it! Will always come back, the atmosphere, the employees, down to the endless build your own shakes/cones/cups is a 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I'll always pick froyo instead of soft serve and I hate standing in line but I've had Milk & Cream on my food bucket list for the longest time because of my undying love for cereal. And it was worth it (even after the digestive issues a few hours later, curses). Don't be turned off by the line, especially on weekends - it moves relatively quickly and the orders come out within a few minutes. The menu has a ton of options for all your childhood cereal faves, which are pretty much all the fun cereals that my mom refused to buy. In other words, don't expect to find Raisin Bran or Grape Nuts here. I went with the cinnamon toast crunch and vanilla base, no toppings or drizzle, because I just wanted the full blast of cinnamon in my face. And it was GLORIOUS. The contraption they use grinds up the cereal and then mixes it thoroughly into the ice cream. (It's comparable to Milk Bar's famous cereal milk soft serve but instead of using the leftover milk, they just dump the cereal right in.) It's not cheap, about $8 for a small cup, and adds up if you're a group/family, but well worth a try if you're a cereal freak like me. The inside has four small tables and a bigger outdoor seating. Very Instagram-able if that's your thing but for once, there's something behind the hype too.

It's hyped up, and for good reason. You don't have to be a cereal lover to love this place. If you think every other ice cream place tastes the same you're highly mistaken. The ice cream is creamy but doesn't melt too quick. We ordered a cookie shake with Reese's and an applejacks ice cream with strawberry drizzle. TO. DIE. FOR. Just go, try it! Next time I visit def trying the hot ones honey sauce drizzle

This is one of my favorite places to go for ice cream! They have a lot of outdoor space for you to eat the ice cream at as well! They blend cereal into ice cream, and its so amazing. Froot Berry Bliss is my absolute favorite (probably the only thing I get when I go to be honest). It is also a pretty big ice cream, so perfect for sharing among two people!

I stopped by today for some Rugrats ice cream with a friend and really enjoyed the nostalgic 90s experience! They've decked out the store and outdoor area with Rugrats designs and it's super cute. There was a random Shawn Mendes fan event happening outside which was a bit strange but seemed to work to our advantage because there were no people in line here. Reptar ice cream bar: Super cute packaging/product. The frosting on top was a little much (sugar overload) & it's super messy (drips green & melts quickly outside in the summer), but a fun experience & loved the bright colors. Reptar slushie with popping bubbles: loved the aesthetic of the cup with all of the characters, the mango bubbles were really good & the base tastes like sour/tangy green apple (would be great to add vodka to if you're taking one home). Not sure what the itemized cost of the products was but for the combo of the Reptar bar and the slushie was about $19 which seems quite steep, though it is a special limited product line. The day-to-day menu looks really good & is a bit more wallet friendly, I'll have to return to check it out.

We jumped in when the line was a just a couple of folks outside. When we left, the line snaked down the sidewalk. The place is really more gimmick than anything. The soft serve ice cream I chose had Rice Krispies mixed in it which gave the texture of grit. The topping I chose was strawberry, there were 3 small slices on top. The location was well run and efficient. The product was not worth repeating.

Quick dessert shop with the cutest interior. They also had amazing outdoor seating options that make for great pictures! Ice Cream Swirl (Fruity Pebbles + Vanilla Ice Cream + Strawberry Topping + Honey Drizzle) and (Lucky Charms + Vanilla Ice Cream + Cookie Crunchies) ($7 each) // both were delicious and had the ideal ratio of cereal to ice cream! Would recommend trying these combinations or ones that you choose because I don't think you can go wrong with all the option:)

Due to the pandemic there is a little outdoor seating to eat your dessert which I'm very thankful for since it was freezing. I ordered l: 1. Pineapple under the sea swirl - if you like soft serve with sprinkles and pineapple, get this! 2. Cookie Crisp carnival- if you like chocolate cereal get this

I LOVE this concept because it marries two of my favorite things - ice cream and sugary processed cereal. I wanted to eat here like five times so I could make all the different cereal combinations. I settled on Frosted Flakes mixed with vanilla soft serve and then dusted with Fruity Pebbles. It was amazing. They mixed the ice cream and cereal together until they are blended and combined - then they are put in a soft serve machine that gives you the perfect soft serve swirl. The vanilla ice cream alone was so perfect. It was smooth, buttery, with lots of flavor and the perfect texture. The Frosted Flakes added in a crunch and sweetness. This is definitely worth the trip to Little Italy (or technically Chinatown...?). I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in the city.

Wow might be the best soft serve ice ever had. Love this concept and reminds me of the kith ice cream too. Fruit loops went so well but I'm sure anything would taste good. Definitely shareable!

Ice cream blended with any cereal of your choice is the premise of a business pulled straight out of a sugar fiend's wildest dreams, and here it is come to life. They've really blown up after many media appearances as well as partnerships with Spot Dessert Bar, with influencers like @foodbabyny, and even with Nickelodeon. Their marketing tactics are slick but they actually have a quality product to show for it. My sweet tooth has brought me here on a number of occasions over the years and I've tried everything from their chocolate s'mores galore to their milkshakes. I think what really worked for Milk & Cream is that they were one of the earlier purveyors of dessert made for the Instagram age. Each ice cream swirl is made picture perfectly, replete with cute toppings like teddy grahams and caramel drizzles. There's a bright neon sign up front that people love to take photos in front of. Unlike many other social media dessert playgrounds that lack any substance, the ice cream at Milk & Cream is quite tasty, and you have a long list of choices when it comes to what cereal you want blended into it. Most of the classics are on the menu, and the machine they have to blend the ingredients together does a great job of distributing just the right amount of cereal throughout the ice cream, so each bite is equally satisfying. With every subsequent visit I am finding the ice cream here more and more overly sweet, and it doesn't help that every single cereal choice they have is a very sweet one, almost without exception. It would be nice to have more neutral options like Crispx, plain Cheerios, or even Kix, since the ice cream itself is already very sweet. I realize though they're not catering to palates like mine, as much as I crave sweets, but to people who would gladly make "there's no such thing as too sweet" the mantra of their life. If this is you, this is your place.

It was freaking 4 degree Celsius but ice cream is ice cream and everyone seem to want it no matter the weather. There was actually a line when we got there after lunch in China Town on a Sunday afternoon. There's no indoor dining, but they have some standing spaces with heater. It seems that they are doing a collab with Nickelodion or something because they have some Spongebob menu specials like Krabby Patty ice cream sliders. I went for the usual create your own Ice Cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch topped with banana, and I love it! It's pretty huge but it's easily gone since I highly enjoyed if. It's not too heavy, not overwhelmingly milky, and sweet but not nauseating. Looks pretty picturesque too! Had a bite of the cookie crisp carnival (one of their specials) and it was really good as well!

This dessert place is super cute with plenty of unique cereal flavors. I like how they make all the toppings very aesthetic, like the teddy bear graham crackers. I'm not the biggest fan of the cereal flavors overall since it's a bit too sweet for me, but I would definitely recommend that someone tries this place out (especially if you like cereal!). I think it's an interesting concept to have ice cream blended with cereal. During the pandemic, there is seating outside but it's fairly limited. There are still quite a few people who come after dinner, but I'm guessing it's more free at other times of the day.

This one of the best ice creams I have ever had the pleasure of eating, if not the best one. I was stumbling drunk in NYC with my bestie when she had a hankering for ice cream and all of a sudden the heavens' glowing light shone down upon us. Across the street, as if on cue, we squinted our eyes toward the bright heavenly palace that I had only heard legends of. I was so excited, ordering the S'mores Galore and Chocolate Cookie (I can only vaguely remember the names) both in cones because how could we not. We grabbed our ice cream and started walking back to our apartment. Never would I have guessed we would have been making love to those cones in ways that are too MA for a Yelp Review. First base, second base, all the way cone. This ice cream was magical; rich and flavorful, reminiscent of all the best cereal milks you've ever had in your life, and that perfectly crunchy cone, wow oh wow. Do not deprive yourself of basking in the religion that is Milk and Cream Bar

I got the limited time nonja turtle ice cream pizza. It was so cute and delicious. Love the creativity they put behind it. But, their ice cream looked amazing as well! Will totally be back to try it !

So I've been wanting to come here after seeing many posts on Instagram with krabby patties and other fun Spongebob themed ice cream. So of course, on the last day of the theme, I decided to head into the city for a nice treat. My daughter loves Spongebob so I knew she would enjoy it as well. Initially, I was nervous about eating ice cream during the winter, but they have an outdoor area that's covered and heated,which was a perfect spot to try out our desserts. My daughter got the krabby patty, which is an ice cream sandwich with cake, chocolate covered ice cream, jello and fondant. All the pieces go together to create the iconic krabby patty as seen on the show "Spongebob". She really enjoyed it and took apart each layer of the burger to taste each part individually.Her favorite part was the "patty" portion of the burger', which was the chocolate covered ice cream. I kept it pretty basic and got the vanilla ice cream with brownie bite mix-ins. The vanilla ice cream was nice and creamy. The brownie bites added a nice texture contrast as well as a chocolatey element. For the amount of ice cream, there could have been more brownie bites however it was still very good as is. The staff gave us two free milk shakes. One with fruity pebbles and another cookie crisps. My daughter tried out the fruity pebble milkshake and she loved it. The second milkshake is in our freezer waiting for us to try it out. I definitely plan on coming back to Milk & Cream Cereal Bar. I can't wait to try more of their combos and creations.

After a nice day at the park, my friend and I decided to go into Chinatown to get some ice cream. We decided on Milk & Cream because it has really good reviews, and when we saw the line we knew the reviews must have been true. Order: - Vanilla ice cream, Oreo cereal, rainbow sprinkles Pros: - Great tasting ice cream - Cute outdoor seating area - Themed ~ Mutant Ninja Turtles theme rn Cons: - Long lines - Your typical pricey, but pretty ice cream Overall: Great tasting ice cream. If you don't like super sweet ice cream, I wouldn't recommend the fruity pebbles. But my oreo ice cream was delicious
