| - I am so sorry Christina Tosi, your dessert bar is just . . .not that great!
Christina is one of my favorite celebrity chefs and I love seeing her on tv as well as watching her cooking, her style, pastries, etc just her being a chef!
I really wanted to try her place and we came by after lunch for something light for dessert.
I saw all the cookie flavors and wanted to try a few but then my eyes caught the spiked milkshakes! So, I opted for the cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookie and the White-Russian-Cereal-Milk Shake.
The cookie was nothing special . . .and actually, nothing making me want to order it again or try another type of cookie. It was chewy but not a good chewy, and it seems over baked as it was pretty tough. The cornflakes have a very subtle crispness and saltiness, the marshmallow just seems to add sweetness, and the chocolate chips are almost nonexistent. It was just not a great cookie and I expected so much more.
As for the milkshake, this was pretty good. The cereal milk flavor is interesting, unique, and pretty tasty! Spiked with the alcohol it becomes a great blend of sweet and . . . umami? Is that the best way to describe a boozy milkshake? I don't know, but it was good!
I won't mind trying Milk Bar again, but definitely not the cookies next time.
