"I am a midwesterner by birth and Chicago has long been one of my favorite cities to visit. Food, culture, sports, and art - the city is teeming with real people doing real things their way: creatively, honestly, and inspiringly," Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi said in a statement. "We promise to show up with passion, enthusiasm, and care, serving delicious cookies, cake, pie and ice cream early in the morning until late at night. Chicago, we can't wait to show up for you; we can't wait to call you home."
Milk Bar Chicago will operate from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. on weekends. Their menu will also be available via delivery services such as DoorDash, GrubHub and Uber Eats.
