Update: Momofuku denies rumours that a Milk Bar is coming to Toronto

Rumour has it that Milk Bar will soon join Noodle Bar, Daishō and Shōtō at David Chang’s University Avenue Momofuku complex, adding a sweet note to the acclaimed chef’s Toronto line-up. The original New York shop is famous for its irreverently named treats, like compost cookies, and curious flavour combinations, like banana curry bread and cereal-flavoured milk. A highly topical twist: one of the bakery’s bestselling items is a buttery confection called Crack Pie.
UPDATE: A local blog posted this morning that two staffers at the Toronto Momofuku complex confirmed a Toronto Milk Bar is on the way, but Momofuku’s press team says otherwise. Our contact tells us that opening a Milk Bar in Toronto is a “dream;” however, there are still no firm plans to do so. We guess we’ll just have to keep dreaming, too.
For whatever it’s worth, when I was in the restaurant, staff informed me that the ‘MilkBar’ would be takeout only. So Momofuku can still deny opening a Milkbar proper ;)
(and CrackPie is already on their Daisho menu anyways…)
It’s coming
In hindsight, looks like anecdotal stories by regular people were all true and the media got played by their PR people.
