If you love a cookie that surprises you with every bite, this is it. Then there’s the Cereal Milk Soft Serve—pure childhood nostalgia in ice cream form. It tastes exactly like the sweet, slightly salty milk left at the bottom of a bowl of cornflakes, and when topped with crunchy cornflake crumbs, it’s perfection. Milk Bar’s approach to desserts is playful yet sophisticated, making it a must-try for anyone who loves bold flavors and unique textures. Whether you order online or visit a store, their treats live up to the hype. Highly recommend!
