History

[edit]

Christina Tosi was working as pastry chef forDavid Chang's Momofuku restaurants[8] in 2008 whenMomofuku's Ssäm Bar decided to expand into a neighboring vacantlaundromat; Tosi proposed the idea to add a bakery.[9] Chang provided seed money, and the first Momofuku Milk Bar opened in November 2008.[8][10] Tosi created thelogo herself inBrush Script Medium.[10]

By 2012, Milk Bar had discontinued the use of "Momofuku" in its name and was operating several locations in New York City in addition to the original bakery in Manhattan'sEast Village.[11][12] Since then, it opened locations in Toronto,[13] Washington, D.C.,[14][15] theCosmopolitan of Las Vegas,[16][17] Los Angeles,[18] Boston,[19] Vancouver.[20] andBellevue, Washington (near Seattle).[21] The Toronto, Boston, and Vancouver locations later closed.[22][23][24]

As of February 2019, Milk Bar employed 381 people at its various locations and the management team was almost all women.[10]

In 2019, Milk Bar changed the name of its signaturecrack pie toMilk Bar Pie, following criticism in theBoston Globe and other press concerning its allusion to the addictiveness ofcrack cocaine.[25]

In the spring of 2020, Milk Bar began to sell cookies through online and national retail food stores.[26][27]

Milk Bar operates separately from Momofuku, although as of 2019[update] Chang remains a business partner. In 2017, the bakery received a $10 million investment from venture capital fund RSE Ventures.[10][28]
