Milk Bar

My friends know me as an ice cream lover, so I'm always excited to try new places around town. When Milk Bar announced it was coming to Bellevue, I wanted to give it a go.Milk Bar is located in the mall, specifically in a little shop branching off of Nordstrom. There weren't too many people when we came, so we got our order right away. I ended up getting the cereal milk soft service for $7. I was quite disappointed with this soft serve. While it is advertised as cereal milk, there was little hint of cereal, leaving it to taste like any other soft serve ice cream. The cost of this dessert was expensive for what it is, and I wish that there was some sort of "wow" factor that makes it live up to its "iconic soft serve" tag line. I would love for it to embody more of its cereal flavor and also include some toppings into the price to make it more reasonable.

A little pricey and too sweet for me. Not a lot of choice for soft serve. But the location is great.

I've been to Milk Bar in LA before and like a lot of Yelpers have stated in their reviews, many of their treats are just waayyy too sweet including their crack pie and cookies. With that said, I never had the chance to try the Cereal Milk soft serve which my friend said wasn't as sweet as their other products. I thus ignored all the other sweet treats on their menu and just ordered a soft serve.Their soft serve is $7 (plus tax) per cup (one size). I had the choice of Cereal Milk, Toasted Marshmallow, or swirled. I went with basic Cereal Milk as Toasted Marshmallow sounded dangerously sweet.They were generous with the amount of ice cream, and filled the cup close to double the height of the cup. The Cereal Milk soft serve was smooth, creamy, and distinctly malty. It definitely doesn't taste like your usual vanilla. Think more like a malt shake in soft-serve form.Service was good overall given that they didn't have much of a line. All employees were friendly. They also have samples which I was fortunate to get one off the last ones. It was some sort of cookie, but I couldn't determine what flavor it was; it was of course just very very sweet.Atmosphere is fine. They have a few tables where you can enjoy your treats, but I just enjoyed mine while walking around Nordstrom.While I would likely take off another star or two like other Yelp reviewers if I had tried their other treats, this review is solely for the soft serve and the only thing I would consider going back for.Overall: 4/5 for soft serve, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

People can testify for me when I say I was EXCITED for Milk Bar coming to the greater Seattle region... Having followed along since the beginning days, I was ready to try it for myself.I was thoroughly let down. I got the truffles and a slice of cake. Everything was toothache sweet. The flavors were definitely lost in the middle of all that sugar. Have not been back since. Every time I pass by I am sad.

I've always wanted to try this place and was excited to find this at the mall. They have a little kiosk with a variety of items to choose from. I got cookies and would recommend the cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookie. I would definitely come back to get other things from here. The stuff they sell also makes for cute gifts.

If you want a delicious slice of birrthday cake, this is your stop. Yes it's pricey because it's connected to Nordstrom's and from a celebrity baker, and yes it's super sweet... It's a freaking birthday cake, it's supposed to be sweet! So long as you're ok with sweet cake, you should check it out. The cookies are less impressive to me and I'd say you can try them out if you're interested, but they really aren't that great. They come individually sealed, which tells you already they aren't the freshest, and the flavors don't stand out. Maybe if you got them at a store that actually bakes them they would be good, but not like this. I haven't tried the soft serve yet because it's priced just higher than I'm willing to pay for soft serve. I mean... it's just soft serve after all. And the prices to add sprinkles or other toppings is also pretty steep. If those come down I'd be willing to give it a try.

I'm so bummed Whole Foods no longer carries the truffles. I am obsessed. Their products are very sweet so if you have a sugar intolerance I'd recommend skipping.

If your looking for a sweet treat this place is probably for you. I've seen Milk Bar all over social media and was excited to see a location pop up in Bellevue! When this place first opened it had massive lines, though the popularity has definitely died down. I've come here on multiple occasions and tried a wide variety of their treats and they all have their own take on desserts. The Milk Bar pie is definitely interesting in a good way, their cakes are delicious but definitely very sweet. Their cookies aren't the best, and their soft serve has a delicious texture but a unique flavor. One thing to mention is the ridiculous prices $7 for a tiny cup of soft serve!?!?! Good thing the lady hooked us up and gave us 2! :) That being said I recommend this place for a quick and convenient treat, a good experience and kind workers. Though dont be surprised by the price of your purchase!

I bought 6 cookies for $17, and was disappointed. I got the mix cornflake cookie thing (2), choco confetti cake, confetti cake, blueberry and cream, and corn. All of them were oddly salty. Service was okay. The girls at the counter didn't seem super familiar with the products. The one girl was quick to ring me up though.I don't think I'll be coming back here unfortunately.

Milk bar finally in Bellevue! It's located on the 2nd floor of Nordstroms and have everything from cookies, cakes, pies, and soft serve to try.We went with a little of everything. We ordered the crunch marshmallow cookies,birthday cake cookie, birthday cake slice, and soft serve. If you're going to choose any of those I'd highly recommend the soft serve. They have cereal milk and one other soft serve flavor. We did a swirl (mix of each) which was perfect. You can add on toppings and we went with the corn cereal flakes which were a must!! Cookies and cake were also very good and my wife absolutely loved the birthday cake slice. Everything is really really sweet so be prepared for that but definitely a must try! The service was just ok as we asked for recommendations and they just said cookies cake pie... which is basically everything. It's a small shop located on the corner so it's a little hard to find but definitely worth looking for!
