3.6 Glassdoor

MILK BAR is a sweet shop that’s been turning familiar treats upside down and on their heads, shaking up the dessert scene since 2008. Founded by James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Christina Tosi, Milk Bar first opened its doors in NYC’s East Village, and has developed a loyal fanbase in the decade since. We operate 12 stores across 5 markets in the US, a direct-to-consumer eCommerce shop that ships delightfully delicious dessert care packages anywhere in the US, and now we're in a grocery store near you! We believe in the transformative power of a really good cookie or an outstanding piece of cake. We pull inspiration from simple ingredients, like the grocery store staples we grew up with, turned on their heads in unconventional ways. We hope you’ll agree.
