When I found out that there was a Milk Bar (actually 2) in DC I told the kids it was where I wanted to go for Mother's Day. I love living between DC and Baltimore for this very reason! Abundance of activity and things to see for the win!
There was a short line when we arrived which gave us a minute to look at the menu but I had a really hard time deciding what to get. I ended up ordering a slice of birthday cake and a slice of chocolate malt cake. (I really wanted to order some of the cookies and a piece crack pie, but I didn't want to eat all that when we had a really early dinner reservation, so I held back.)
Birthday Cake
Chocolate Malt Cake
The cake slices were good, but unfortunately, nothing to write home about. The kids devoured the chocolate slice but I didn't find it especially great. Tony and I split the birthday cake slice and let everyone else in our group try it, but again, it wasn't that special. The cakes were moist and had good flavor but I guess I expected to be blown away and I just wasn't.
Would I go back to Milk Bar? Absolutely! I would really like to try some of the other offerings but I would not go back for those two slices of cake. (Zoe got herself a salted caramel soft serve which was REALLY salty, in my opinion. She seemed to like it though. Brandon got himself some sort of iced coffee, I think. I never did ask if he liked it!)
As I mentioned, we had early dinner reservations at B Too, a restaurant in DC that I found out about through an Instagrammer I follow. The restaurant features belgian inspired dishes but the real reason I wanted to go was because of the dofflebomb they offer for dessert! Unfortunately, we never made it to B Too because 1) we were stuffed from Milk Bar and 2) we were exhausted from all the walking we'd done. Zoe cancelled our reservation per my request but I have no doubt we'll go back to the city sometime to try that place. I really need a doffle in my life at some point! :)
