Only 2 stars because they have an option of soy and almond milk alternative. All of their ice cream is made with "left over" Cereal milk... they gave a free sample to see if we liked it, it was not appetizing, really gross in my opinion. with the name milk they should offer regular ice cream for those who don't like cereal milk. other than that the lady who was taking orders was very nice and understanding.
I love the unique modern feel of this place and the unique options. I got the compost cookie and unfortunately it didn't really live up to the hype for me. However the blueberry cream cookie was pretty good. The prices are little much, but decent for a place like this that has a lot of publicity/popularity. Overall, while its a unique experience I wasn't overly enthused about the actual food but I'm hoping to be more impressed in the future when I try other desserts.
I recently purchased a chocolate malt cake from the Milk Bar for my fiance's birthday. I have gone to this location several times to get ice cream, and have enjoyed it every time, even with the high price tag. I purchased this cake on Friday, kept it in the fridge as recommended, then took it out on Saturday an hour or so before serving. The flavor of the filling was good, however I really didn't like the cake itself. It was incredibly dry and crumbly. They clearly didn't use any simple syrup to keep it moist and it tasted like it had been in the refrigerator/freezer for at least a week. I was really disappointed about this, especially because their cakes are $49 for a 6 inch cake, almost double the price as any other bakery (6"cakes range in price from $20-$30 at most bakeries). I did stop by to get this cake without ordering ahead, maybe if I did order ahead it would have been made fresh, and I would have gotten the flavor I wanted. This stinks because I was planning on getting the birthday cake one for my birthday next month. I may have to rethink that decision.
Not wanting to wait for the fear of 2 revolting kids who were eyeing their ice creams, we took what she had made for us and sat outside by the water fountains to eat them. Kids did not like the ice cream and we thought it was just okay - too much salt in my opinion.
Absolutely disgusting. I don't think I've ever been so upset about paying money for something before. The milkshakes are WAY overpriced for the size. ($8-9 for a tiny shake it's nuts) My fiance couldn't finish the coffee shake because he hated it and the birthday cake shake tasted like chalk. This place is all hype and is pretty mediocre. DC and NOVA has so many better places for this sort of thing don't waste your money here-- it was a huge let down for me.
I ordered 2 soft serves - birthday cake and twist. We however, were given 2 milk and cereal soft serve. When I brought this to the attention of the person who served us the ice creams, she said that it was the correct order and this is what she had been told to get. I did remind her of my order and she said it would take 5 minutes to get us the "correct" order since the line was too long! REALLY! I have to wait 5 minutes to get my correct order since she messed up!
This place may be great and super busy, but we came away disappointed
Milk Bar - the mega engine that could! We were so looking forward to our visit to this place. We got there on a weekend afternoon with a couple of groups ahead of us. But within a minute of us getting there, it was as if the tour bus got there - we clearly got lucky!
