    The cereal milk soft serve with cornflake crunch: YUM! Just when you think all the crunchies are gone, they save some for the bottom so the true cereal experience continues until the very last bite.

    The team at this location is fantastic, incredibly helpful. Everything is so good here, you can't go wrong with anything, specially the Cereal Milk White Russian 🤘🏼

    An unconventional trip back to the pastries of childhood, in their corn cookies and crack pie. There is sure to be nostalgia in every bite. #5 on Tejal Rao's 10 Best Pastry Shops in New York

    If you have a sweet tooth, try the crack pie! 🥧 It's full of flavor and textures which I always appreciate. The staff is kind 💕and answers any questions you have ⭐️

    Christina Tosi’s bakery is known for its “crack pies” and “compost cookies” and while those are exquisite, it’s the offbeat flavors of frozen yogurt that set it apart from other sweet eateries.

    Cereal milk ice cream - nailed it! Love the blueberry & cream cookie, and the Yuzu Cherryrita (with tequila). It's sweet! Also of note - they have Mexican Cokes here!

    This place has some obsession with mixing cereal in every desert. The cereal soft serve ice cream gets old after the first couple of licks. Compost cookie was the only good thing I had.

    Their soft serve milk icecream is okay.. Would only recommend if you're a big cereal fan! Must try their crack pie, my all time fav

    Be sure to try the cereal milk soft serve before going all in. It's yummy, but trying to eat a whole cup before it melts is a task for 2!

    Crack pie is only thing to go out of the way for. It's amazing. The rest is solid but can only be so good by the nature of what it is.

    Not sure what the hype is about. Nothing I've ever had here was any good. Even the cereal shake, which was pretty cool for the first minute I drank it, became bland and boring pretty fast.

    Their Cereal Milk-flavored soft serve with the cornflake crunch... they leave some in the bottom of the cup, so that when you are finished it's exactly like the finishing a bowl of cereal! Delicious.

    Unless your cookies have arsenic in them, I will rate you highly. Momofuku is no exception, 10/10 hearts for creative sugar usage!

    Pork buns at Milk bars are different from restaurants (more like a gigantic dumpling) but also tasty. crack pie is a crack!

    Cereal Milk soft serve and Crack Pie are the two legendary options... Don't go for the Quake combination, it's too much... Enjoy them separately.

    The cereal milk shake will be one of the best things you'll ever drink. Like childhood in a cup.

    Breads and meal deals are best here. Go egg & cheddar with a corn cookie & cold brew. They also have buns!

    Over-priced baked goods that you may not find elsewhere, but worth it on days you just want to treat yourself. Everything here is delicious.

    The cereal milk white russian is delicious, with just a hint of booze. Protip: You can ask them to split it into two glasses.

    Cereal milk is absolutely delicious. Go for the location in Williamsburg for better quality - the one at Union Square had a strange consistency in addition to bad service.

    The "Cereal Milk" ice cream is awesome! But you have to get the "crunchy corn flakes" topping. Taste just like a bowl of cereal!!! :)

    Cereal milk was just OK. The cornflakes really made the experience. The bday truffles are freaking amazing though!

    Didn’t really understand the hype. Everything is flavorless, it tastes like sugar. I’ve tried the ice cream, a milkshake and the crack pie (the only thing I believe is eatable).

    The boozy milkshakes are good but very decadent so you're best off splitting one with a friend

    Birthday Party Shake is good but a little strong. You have to drink it in the building (you can't even sit outside)

    The cereal milk milkshake is overrated, in my opinion. It's basically salty ice cream. The service was pretty subpar too. For all the hype this place has, my experience was only 5/10.

    Try the Maple Cream Cheese Soft Serve - All 5 flavors in one day. I feel sick. This was the best one though.

    I'm always angry when I see that tiny slice of crack pie ($6) slide out of that box. But then I taste it...

    Ask for your cereal milk with crunch in a parfait cup. Same amount of goodness but much easier to eat!

    Interesting place. The cereal milk ice cream flavor seems to be the most popular item selling. It's good, but I feel that too much of it is nauseating.
