Profile

In its early days, Momofuku made do without dessert (unless you count the Hershey’s Kisses David Chang occasionally doled out at Noodle Bar). But as the organization matured, it gained a staff sweet tooth in the energetic form of Christina Tosi, 27, who’d worked at WD-50 and Bouley before she served Ssäm Bar’s first Tristar strawberry shortcake. Then came Noodle Bar’s kooky soft-serve, Ko’s deep-fried apple pie, and now, a bona fide bakery adjacent to Ssäm Bar called Momofuku Milk Bar. Or, in the words of Tosi herself, “Dairy Queen with pork buns.” — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

I really like the banana curry loaf and chocolate chocolate chip cookies . The other cookies and pies are very very sweet (too much for me) Happy to get the pork buns when the you can't get into Momofuko! The volcano is a scary mess of onions and what seems like a pound of potatoes in dough A too big soggy messy knish.

Sour gummy soft serve will change your life.

And if soft serve doesn't do it for you the chocolate chip cake with a passion fruit custard layer will. Compost cookies, candy bar pie, apricot soft serve... all heaven. Buy a slice of everything and invite over a big group so you can taste it all. Your mouth will be happy for hours to follow.
