    The swirl with crunch is classic. Ask for an affogato (not on the menu) and they'll create it for you. The Truffles and cookies make great gifts!

    Get the cereal milk soft serve. I make it a personal mission to come here at least once when I'm in New York. It's great with cereal crunch but mostly I prefer it bare. Good for dessert after Ssam Bar

    Crack pies and cookies are good all year round. Soft serves are great too and the seasonal flavored are usually strong hit or mild miss. I enjoy the cereal milk but I'll admit it's not for everyone.

    You must try the fruity cereal milk ice cream, and don't forget the corn flakes on top! Some of the best ice cream I've had in awhile.

    Birthday cake (and birthday cake truffles) are amazing. Tried the new truffle flavor recently (chocolate or chocolate chip I think) and it is lightly coated with some fruit powder that packs a punch.

    One of my favorite soft serve ice creams. The cereal milk is an exotic flavor and the crunch is a nice addition with the smoothness of the ice cream. It really does taste like cereal and milk!

    With six locations in NYC, you're never too far away from some of the iconic sweet, cereal-infused soft serve from this NY favorite. Don't miss the passion fruit chocolate chip flavor either. Read more

    The compost cookie has chocolate and butterscotch chips, graham cracker crumbs, oats, potato chips, pretzels and even coffee grounds. And somehow it all works. Read more

    Wow - had the cereal milk soft serve for the first time. It was sensational. I even asked for an extra container of the caramelized cereal to take home. So worth it.

    The cereal milk ice cream with cereal crunch toppings is one of a kind! Very small place and a queue soon lined up with everyone eating the exact same thing! Yum!

    David Changs ice cream and cake shop is a hole in the wall. The "soft serving" is the best of its kind I ever had.

    The best. Nothing better. My favorites include the Cereal Milk Soft Serve with Crunch, Birthday Cake Truffles and the Corn Cookie.

    CRACK PIE = AWESOME! You won't be disappointed! $5 a slice but soo worth it. I buy whole pies for special occasions & always a hit. Do yourself a favor & get a slice or two… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Enjoy the creamy cereal milk soft-serve form at any location, or head to the Williamsburg outpost to try it in a “fancy shake” with booze and various magical add-ins.

    Crack pie is good..extremely sweet! Went with the fruit loops flavored ice cream instead of the cereal milk and it was dead on...not amazing but def worth a stop...so much to eat in this area!!

    Can't go wrong with anything here. Compost cookie, crack pie, and chocolate chip/corn flake/marshmallow cookie are great choices. Cereal Milk shake is delicious, too.

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

    Try the BBQ Bun - yes, its very not so creative and exciting, but goddamn bbq pork belly and coleslaw was so good and their homemade buns were pillow soft...it really was awesome

    If you concur the best part of eating a bowl of cereal is slurping the sweetened milk after, Momofuku's Cereal Milk soft serve topped with corn flake crumbles is a breakfast game changer #GameofCones

    Buy 6 cookies for $10, crack pie and truffles to take home. Then enjoy a cup of cereal milk ice cream with cornflake crunch for $0.75 more. Its so good!

    Super tight quarters that serves up pretty rad soft serve, cookies and other pastries. Got the compost cookie soft serve with the compost toppings. No cash accepted here, card only.

    If you don't like extremely sweet sweets, get the cornflake cookie and beware the choc-choc. The latter is good but very rich and sweet. Both will fix any chocolate cravings though

    At Thanksgiving time, come get their Thanksgiving croissant. Filled with turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce with celery salt inside and out. So delicious.

    Post remodeling, the passion fruit soft serve with chocolate chips is a fantastic addition. Will miss the double chocolate cookies tho

    Desserts are original and present something you most likely haven’t seen before. Everything I tried was good but so sweet I could only have a couple bites before being overpowered by the sugar.

    Crack pie was amazing. Insanely rich though so if you don't have a sweet tooth best to share a slice.

    You must try the Crack Pie, the Compost Cookie and the Confetti Cookie. Pair them with the Cereal Milk ice cream. The Pork Buns are a must try as well.

    The cereal ice cream has been a hit or miss with everyone I've brought there. I personally like the ice cream. My favorite is the corn cookie though! 🌽🍪

    Try the Tri-Star Strawberry Sorbet - Celery root, Ritz crunch, white chocolate ganache. This was awesomely refreshing, except that the celery in there was a little strange.

    Cereal milk ice cream and corn cookie are the best things on the menu- hands down. Crack pie is great but after a few bites it is too sweet to finish.

    The lines are often outrageous, and everything other than the cookies are overpriced, but their desserts are delicious. Go for the corn cookie, crack pie, or soft serve. Skip the savory things.

    Love the flavors, very nice staff. I order milkshakes everywhere and while the cereal milk shake tasted good, it was way too runny. Got to find a way to thicken them up.

    Small location that packs a tasty punch. Our favorite is the Crack Pie, it tastes like caramel and just melts in your mouth.

    Birthday cake is the best - in whole cake form or bite sized truffles! The crunchy cookie bits are the best idea ever!

    The compost cookies are beyond amazing, and the yogurt made with corn flakes is a fresh spin on a delightful treat!
