| - I really wanted to like this place.
I MEAN really, really wanted to be a raging fan just like everyone else but honestly, it's all hype to me.
Located on the second floor of the Cosmopolitan, the Milk Bar has located next to Momofuku. I have visited Milk Bar on many occasions and have tried a variety of different desserts. I have had the birthday cake, soft serve cereal milk, a milk shake, the infamous crack pie, and all of the cookies (blueberry, compost, cornflake)-- but none of them were impressive. I have gifted the cookies to my family when I went home to visit, and even they were underwhelmed by the taste and the quality. The cookies were dry and flavorless. For the price of the cookie gift set, I was hoping for at least one winner in batch but none of them were THAT memorable. The birthday cake was good but other than it being cute it was pretty much funfetti cake mix (yeah, I'm sorry but I just had to say it). The crack pie was something that I thought that I would like, but meh. It tasted just okay and the oil seeping through the packaging wasn't very appetizing. Maybe it is because the items here at the Milk Bar come at a premium price and the quality just doesn't match? Either way, I found myself disappointed visit after visit.
Milk Bar will survive in Vegas because of its reputation and tourists will keep on coming to get those Instagram likes but I don't see locals going out of their way to give this place a return visit. I still have hope that the one in New York will win my foodie heart over. See, I told you I really wanted to like this place.
