Kevin HsiehNovember 9, 2013If you're getting a pastry and a drink make sure to make it a lunch special to save a few bucks AND get an extra cookie
David Chang's Thanksgiving croissant: As many things Chang are: rich, strong in flavor and a little odd. Also a bit greasy. Overall I thought it was really good but happy I went splitty splitty on it.
KESeptember 3, 2018Expensive, festive cookies. They’re more a NYC novelty than they are delicious, but I’m a traditionalist 🍪Great for festive occasions. A large cold brew is $5.
Niki Katherine HolmesJuly 18, 2015I tried the marshmallow cornflake choc cookie, and the confetti cookie. Both were good, but... Confetti cookie was the winner, hands down! It was so soft and tasted like birthday cake.
- F. BastardSeptember 22, 2015Imagine if the Cronut guy opened a second bakery and you went there and bought a Cronut but when you opened the bag there was a cupcake inside. That's how it feels when you get a "pork bun" here.
Sam GilOctober 5, 2018Cereal ice cream little sour not my thing. Birthday cake is very good. Crack pie is good. Wasn’t blown away . Prefer KITH, Ample Hills, Chip etc.
HolidayOctober 18, 2017I've been in here a few times over the years and I always leave perplexed on a few different levels. Dystopic? A bit. Signs of the end if an empire? Absolutely
LukeAugust 11, 2019A very cookie centric location. As always, they focus on taste, not needless sugar content, so a bodega candy binge might be a better fit for some folks commenting here 🙄
Danith YongNovember 2, 2013Try their cereal or pretzel milkshakes : original and tasty. If you are even more courageous, try their "fancy" milkshakes, with bourbon and vodka :)
AdamMay 19, 2018Came here after seeing the Netflix feature. Did not live up to hype sadly. Very different in person. Cookie was prepackaged - not fresh. Felt like something I could get in a supermarket. No vibe here.- The normally sloppy ingredients for a Reuben neatly tucked into a delicious Rye croissant. What more could you ask for? Makes for a great, if not indulgent, breakfast.
Daniel BarnettOctober 25, 2014I like the cereal milk. Clever little place, David Chang knows what he's doing. Listen to the guy. And your gut.
Matthew SheppardAugust 15, 2013The Compost Cookies are amazing. Chic chip, butterscotch chip, Graham Cracker crumbs, potato chips and coffee grounds. NOM!
I'm addicted to the blueberry pie shake - I hope they make that one permanent! The truffles are great dessert to. Bagel bombs must be warmed up
Luis MendozaJuly 8, 2015Very creative and delicious desserts. Try the Milk Cereal soft serve or one of their Marshmallow cookies.
Colin M. FordOctober 20, 2013Pork buns served here are different and bigger than the ones served at regular Momofuku restaurants, but no less delicious.
The birthday cake cookies are great. They are a little bit doughy and delicious for being so.
Richard RevillaMay 9, 2015Look for the chalk wording on the sidewalk as the only sign your here. Cereal Milk with crunch and compost cookie for the road.
Matthew SimonJuly 10, 2015Blueberry and cream cookie was refreshing and not too sweet. That was my favorite so far.
MitaApril 16, 2012The pork bun is different than the city version. It's closer (but far inferior) to the ones you'll find in Chinatown. Except, here it's $8 plus tax and tip instead of $0.25. No, just no!
New York PostSeptember 14, 2014Don't miss “Karlie’s Kookies," which owner Christina Tosi created with model Karlie Kloss! Read more
Joshua MartensJune 23, 2013If you liked Cap'n Crunch as a kid you'll probably love the corn cookie. It's delish!
T StarkAugust 26, 2018it was kind of disappointing since they just some cookies and like 2 cakes, I was expecting more variety and options
Jess NaldoOctober 30, 2014Gah. Hate to say this. Thanksgiving croissant wasn't as amazing as David Chang's IG made it seem. Turkey was tough, croissant was oily. Barely tasted gravy/cranberry. Thank God for the corn cookie.
Rachel ShifmanJanuary 5, 2016Their cookies and a crunchy cereal shake is the greatest combination ever. The crack pie is overrated though.
Chocolate Klossie cookie is super chocolatey and brownie like 👌🏼
They actually have free wifi here - so you can grab some Internet with those birthday cake truffles!
Jonathan RichardsMarch 20, 2013Finally stopped in to try a famous Cereal Milk shake, and they were out of Cereal Milk....WTF??
I just hid a ready-to-redeem 'Buy 9 get 1 free drink' card somewhere inside this Milkbar. Find it and have that 10th drink on me! ;o)
Red & BrownJuly 15, 2015Cereal milk soft serve and compost cookies are the can't miss classics here.
Serious EatsJuly 25, 2013Whacky flavors of soft serve, sweet cake balls, and fat, chewy cookies are the hallmarks of this bakery.
Akshay PatilMay 4, 2012Love breakfast, but hate your arteries? Chow down on a pork bun + poached egg the next time you feel like pigging out.
Lindsey AdlerOctober 10, 2012Seriously wrong choice if you're looking for a quick grab and go breakfast. No plain croissants; no tea; rude cashier. Messy, $8 dessert for breakfast.
Sandra RubinchikDecember 2, 2014Buy all the birthday cake truffles. So I never have to see those gross lil turds ever again.
