What diners are saying
Customers have mixed but passionate reactions to this famous dessert spot, with many celebrating the unique B'Day Truffles (including a tasty gluten-free option) and the iconic Cereal Milk soft serve, described by fans as a creamy, salty-sweet delight. While some diners feel the prepackaged cookies and Milk Bar Pie lack freshness given the price point, others find the treats to be "absolute heaven" worth the hype. Note that this location is primarily a carry-out window, so guests should be prepared to grab their sweets to go rather than lingering in a café setting.
