NYC: The Cereal Milk Soft Serve at Milk Bar

NYC: Soft Serve at Milk Bar

Soft serve season is still on, and guess where I spent most of my ice cream money this summer? Milk Bar! Yum! If you take your soft serve seriously, then you’ve probably already been to Milk Bar for their signature Cereal Milk Soft Serve, or you should be planning a visit ASAP, because soft serve doesn’t come much better than that.

The Cereal Milk Soft Serve is an old favorite of mine, and yes, it tastes like the sugary milk at the bottom of your cereal bowl. The base of the soft serve includes milk, cornflakes, brown sugar, and a hint of salt. So simple, but oh so tasty.

The seasonal Toasted Marshmallow Sundae also stole a piece of my soft-serve loving heart last summer. Marshmallow and ice cream is just a great combo, and this one tastes like a bonfire (with s’mores and all) in a cup. Wish they would make it a permanent menu item.

The photos in this blog post are from two different locations; the NoMad flagship one and the one in West Village. I like both branches, but if forced to choose, I would pick the flagship store. This is also where I got the best service from the guy behind the counter who would readily tell me about his personal favorites and what he thought I should order.

Ninja Air Fryer 4-in-1 Pro
$89.99

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They're easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$199.95

The Ninja CREAMi is hands down the best ice cream maker I’ve tried. What I really like is the texture. The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy, better than anything I’ve managed with other machines. It’s also incredibly easy to use: you prep your base, freeze it overnight, and then let the CREAMi do the rest. With several one-touch programs, you can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even smoothie bowls, and the re-spin function lets you make your batch softer if you prefer. You can go all in with decadent gelato, or make lighter, low-sugar or dairy-free versions. You can even add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, nuts, or fruit to make it your own. It’s a fun, reliable machine that makes experimenting with flavors at home so much more exciting.
