    First timers, get their best sellers bundle (soft serve, b'day truffles, crack pie and compost cookie). You basically get the cookie for free, but you got to try some amazing stuff!

    The Cereal Milk Ice-Cream/Milkshake is fantastic. Get this if you are visiting for your first time. It tastes like the milk in a bowl after eating the cornflakes. Ask for a sample if you're unsure.

    Get the soft serve twist. They have a standard couple of cakes in stock here at all times. The rest have to be pre-ordered. Tip: Buy a cake truffle beforehand to get an idea of the cake flavors.

    Everyone should try the corn cookies, those are THE best..but really any of the cookies and the crack pies are a good snack. Coffee is decent. The cereal ice cream is addictive.

    The crack pie really is good. The blueberry and cream cookie deserves more hype. Sample the cereal milk soft serve & get a coffee to take the edge off the sugar you just consumed.

    Going to a party? Bring a box of individually wrapped cookies, a cake, or a crack pie to make everyone happy. If just dropping in, get some cereal milk soft serve and a cookie. Lots of butter = love.

    Big location. If you're looking to buy a lot of Milk Bar cookies, definitely check this place out. They also have small boxes for packing. Highly recommend the corn, compost, and chocolate cookies.

    The coke float flavoured soft serve tastes exactly how you'd expect. Pretty cool, good enough to warrant trying at least once, but not good enough to want an entire single serving of most of the time.

    Good soft serve ice cream ( with cornflakes topping) for the cake loved the salted pretzel cake. Good thing that they close late!

    I tasted The Crack Pie, Dream Girl Pie & Candy Bar Pie. Crack Pie has a wonderful & subtle caramel taste (best one IMO). Dream Girl is healthier & crispy. Candy Bar tastes like a giant Reese's Piece.

    Thr Crack pie was delicious, surprisingly not too overly sweet. It was very thick, $5.50 a slice.

    Got fruity/cereal milk softserve..taste like fruit loops! Super creamy which I like. Cornflake topping is a must try. But it's not cheap, $6 for it

    tried the fried chicken skin with the caviar-dusted ranch dressing dip. i want to say it was icky. it was in fact precisely what chips and dip should be, always and forever, in every way.

    Cereal milk soft serve with corn flakes- so good! And all the other cookies, truffles and pies are unique and good too. If you like desserts, it's hard to go wrong here.

    After watching Netflix Chefโ€™s table I had to try out the Milk bar. My favourite - The birthday milkshake! To die for!

    super empty nowadays because of the tower. Don't be fooled by the barricades-- they're still open. All the cookies are really good, and cereal milk is nostalgic and great.

    Midtown respite, good for locals and tourists looking for sweets and icy treats, especially during the summer months. Always get crushed cereal on the corn milk soft serve.

    Highly recommend their crack pie & chocolate malt balls--yum! Have it with a glass of milk. not the best dessert place but not the worst. Lounge area upstairs is amazing! Best part about this place.

    You can't go wrong with ANY of the cookies here but our favorites were the Three C's: Corn, Compost and Confetti.

    Grab one of these boxes and fill it up Supermarket Sweep style. Cookies: compost, confetti. Birthday cake truffles. Slice of crack pie. Glorious.

    They have a package deal of 4 most popular items. If you can't decide what to eat try this! (Crack pie, compost cookie, cereal milk and birthday cake)

    Easy to miss from the outside, so keep an eye out! You must try the crack pie and the cereal milk soft serve. Coffee is decent.

    Crack Pie is to die for...literally. A little too sweet for my taste to finish the whole thing, but a fun treat nonetheless. Definitely worth a try!

    The desserts are underwhelming. The cereal milk ice cream tastes really odd, and the crackpie and birthday cake truffles are so sweet that I felt like I was eating pure butter and sugar mixed together

    Get a snack for yourself and some cookie mix to take home to your family. Then, they have to make you more cookies!

    If you want to pay $5 for the experience go ahead and have the cereal milk shake. It's something you can prepare at home any day.

    Don't try to eat soft serve with your iPhone in hand - the soft serve melts everywhere and drips into all the buttons! Now my buttons are all sticky and no longer satisfyingly clicky ๐Ÿ˜ข

    I don't even remember what it was I orderedโ€ฆ a chocolate shake? It had a nice gooey syrup, but only on the cup, leaving the bulk of the dessert as you'd expect: cold.

    Birthday and Chocolate Malt Cake Truffles are amazing, but the cereal milk soft serve was tasteless to me. I dont see how thats any good.

    Make sure to get the cornflake crunch on top of the salty pistachio crunch soft serve. Their ice cream is the perfect balance of the sticky goo of the typical soft serve but doesn't melt too quickly.

    Whacky flavors of soft serve, sweet cake balls, and fat, chewy cookies are the hallmarks of this bakery. And a very sweet pie called Crack Pie.

    The cereal milk ice cream is interesting and unique but gets old real fast as its their only type.
