| - I read the reviews here before trying Milk Bar and thought they seemed particularly harsh. I generally love trying places like this, I love sweets of all types and I'm not too picky about them. But after trying Milk Bar I have to say for the most part I agree with the lukewarm reviews.
First let me just say that the flavors this place serves up are unique and dare I say jarring. They don't quite taste like anything i've had before, for better or for worse.
Corn Cookie - Their cookies are very dense and hard without being crunchy if that makes sense. They're a bit too dense for my taste. My favorite of the cookies was the corn cookie. I wasn't sure what to make of it at first, I had to get used to the unique taste. I didn't love it, but it was good and interesting.
Blueberry & Cream Cookie - Not as yummy as it sounds, I think this was my least favorite of all three cookies.
Compost Cookie - Not impressed by this either. This one was the most dense and hard and had an overpowering taste of coffee.
Birthday Cake Truffles - I love anything bday cake flavored, so I had to try these. These would be great if you are majorly craving something super sweet, but like others said, it is a bit too sweet and just tastes like an undercooked sugar cookie. Not bad, but not particularly good.
White Russian Milk Quake - Again, jarring and unique flavor. This is a milkshake made out of their cereal milk spiked with kahlua I think. It was the cereal taste that caught me off gaurd the most. Overall, I enjoyed this the most out of all the items I tried and would definitely try another one of their spiked milkquakes. Most spiked milkshakes you get on the strip seem to have zero alcohol in them but this one, I could really taste the alcohol (in a good way).
I'm sad I didn't get to try the crackpie. Next time I'll be sure to grab one of those and maybe the soft serve. Oh, also the service left something to be desired. But overall, I think this place is worth a try.
