America's Most Instagrammable Desserts Are Coming To L.A. With Momofuku Milk Bar
SOON. (Photo by Sam Horine/Gothamist)
Birthday cake truffles, cereal milk, cereal milk soft serve, crack pie, savory bagel bombs, and all the other goods that Momofuku Milk Bar has to offer will soon be landing in Los Angeles. While their entry into the L.A. dining scene has been confirmed by reps, no details are available yet. It's believed that they will open in 2017.
The NYC-based Milk Bar (which has been expanding pretty fast) is run by Christina Tosi, who is currently seeking out a spot to move into (Tosi herself was recently in town, likely scouting). According to Eater, it will probably be "in the heart of the city," but no lease has been signed yet.
We've reached out to the Milk Bar team for more details, and will update when we hear back.
Get ready to wait on line for these, our favorite, items:
#1 Birthday Cake Truffles
#2 Birthday Cake
#3 Cereal Milk Soft Serve (with crunchy cereal bits on top!)
#4 Cereal Milk
NO ONE HAS EVER INSTAGRAMMED THIS BECAUSE IT JUST LOOKS LIKE MILK! But it's very good.
#5 Crack Pie
#6 Pork Bun With Egg

#7 ALL THE SPECIALS — this year Milk Bar made Thanksgiving Croissants
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
