Fodor's Expert Review Milk Bar Flagship @ Logan Circle

If you’re a fan of sprinkles, pie, ice cream, and birthday cake, then this is the place for you to eat in or grab something to go. But don’t expect run-of-the-mill pastries: founder Christina Tosi has created an empire of modernized American confections, including soft serve made with cereal-infused milk, cakes shrunken into truffles, and favorites like the Compost Cookie and Crack Pie. This location in a former auto-body shop offers baking classes, curated events, outdoor seating, and a host of extra goodies; it's also where the company is headquartered and where new recipes are developed. You can learn to bake the store's traditional birthday cake, or pick one up on the way to a party. Make sure to try the weekly test kitchen delights, or one of the desserts only offered here.
