As Nordstrom begins its rapid fade from the entire Canadian market and operations enter the "wind down" phase in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»at CF Pacific Centre, this also means the demise of treat destination which will ultimately have enjoyed a mere four-month run.
The popular New York-based dessert brand created by celebrity pastry chef Christina Tosi and bolstered by culinary heavyweight David Chang (of Momofuku and Netflix fame) debuted in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»on Nov. 18, 2022. However, as part of Nordstrom's exit from Canada, the store-in-store location is set to shutter March 15.
Located on level one of Nordstrom at the Granville and Georgia entrance, the "cult-favourite" treat company has had its full menu available in Vancouver, like cake truffles, cookies, and cereal milk soft serve. In addition to Milk Bar Vancouver's grab-and-go offerings, the shop sells cookbooks, cookie tins, and other assorted branded merch.
The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Milk Bar was the brand's first-ever full-service location in Canada and followed the Nordstrom in-store model that debuted in 2019 in New York City. Toronto had a mini-Milk Bar outpost that closed at the end of 2022.
For those needing a nearby Milk Bar fix, with passport in hand you'll have to head over the border; Nordstrom Bellevue Square in Bellevue, Washington will get its own Milk Bar, , just days after Vancouver's closes.
In addition to Milk Bar, Nordstrom's only B.C. location is home to the upscale cafe Bistro Verde, a coffee counter, and an in-store bar. All of those food service options close March 15 as well.
