Milk Bar Mini: CityCenterDC

I had heard a lot about Milk Bar. It was an interesting one-time taste. My friend and I shared grasshopper truffles $6/3truffles. They were okay. My friend had come before and prefers birthday cake truffles. The staff was friendly. The store is visually pleasing, but poorly designed for lines. There is very little sitting/standing place. It’s not a bad place, but it’s not quite worth the hype either.

This place is ok, it's tucked away from the main momofuko restaurant so watch for it's actual entrance. Once inside it can get cramped fast on a good day. The people are nice but the prices are gnarly. I guess you pay for the branding on top of whatever you order; personally my milkshake tasted like fruity pebbles + milk + white chocolate toblerone bar were blended together. It was good but I don't think I'd want to pay that much for it as it amounted to the same as a bowl of cereal with milk and a straw. I probably won't be coming back but you should try it at least once.

We came here around the time that they opened and they already had people ordering their delicious pastries. The lady at the counter was kind and answered all of my questions. The crack pie was delicious. We came back and tried three cookies and their cereal milk ice cream. The ice cream was raisin Bran flavored. It was so good and very nostalgic. The corn, compost, and the cornflake marshmallow chocolate chip cookies were good. The cornflake one was probably my favorite, but they were all really good.

If you like a mix of sweet and salty Milk Bar might be the place for you! A cute little bar-esque store front that could use more standing room and seems to be continuously busy. Counters don’t seem like they get cleaned often and perhaps many people just get food to go - but the inside can be a bit messy. None of the baked goods are baked in house it seems like they mostly just get shipments and serve those so eh. Milk Bars cereal milk soft serve definitely.... does not taste like cereal milk. It’s creamy and a little salty and oddly savory especially with the added “crunch” topping but I actually really loved that. To others it might be a bit off putting. The birthday cake was very standard funfetti. It came out of a freezer so wasn’t moist and fresh but was still good and the icing was pretty great. Not sure if it was worth the price as really.... it’s just a funfetti cake. Overall would come back for very specific cravings but DC is full of amazing bakeries so this is not my first or second or third choice.

Crack pie all the way. Easy to take to go and eat with your hands. I also tried the birthday cake. I prefer the crack pie. I love Milk Bar, what they represent, and the innovation of Christina Tosi but I wish they had a few lactose free options so I could try more of her creations.

The Cereal Milk Soft Serve tasted really sour. I'll come back and order again to see if it was just an off day when I came. Purchased 5 different cookies, and all the cookies were extremely sweet. If you love really sweet cookies, then these cookies are perfect for you.

YUM!!! First, let me say that another rating was absolutely ridiculous and dramatic. We had a good laugh over the extreme dramatics. Anyway, the chocolate malt cake is real chocolate. If you’re craving chocolate, not the ridiculously sweet chocolate, this is the perfect slice of chocolate decadence. The crack pie is so good. I was born and raised in Georgia where Chess Pie is a thing at every potluck. Christina’s Crack Pie is on the money. It’s a perfect combination of textures with the crumbly crust and smooth filling along with just enough sugar to remind you of a pecan pie. We also tried the compost cookie, the cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookie, and the blueberry cream cookie. They are all delicious but our favorite is the cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow. It’s sweet with a hint of salt and crunch from the cornflakes. I’m so glad Christina decided to open a Milk Bar in D.C. just in time for our visit. Thank you, Christina, and your wonderful employees who kept the crowd flowing at 10pm!

Perfect spot for a quick dessert. Crack Pie and the Compost Cookie are an absolute must!! Crack pie has really good flavor but be aware that it is on the smaller side. Worth it though. I should have bought two of the Compost Cookie and its decent sized. Overall A+ Experience
