    I popped in here this morning. Ordered my standard cappuccino.

    It's in the middle of soho and is kinda bland considering. I mean, it's trying to have a cool vibe, but it's just lacking something. The service was standard.

    Back to the coffee: froth was good, coffee good... Read more

    A great cafe serving very good coffee. The setting is a touch more low key then the sister cafe (Flat White), but they serve the same great coffee (strong full flavoured espresso, beautiful latte art on milk-based drinks). Another great option for London.

    Excellent coffee but service is not as good. Had many great Flat Whites and cappuccinos but usually take my drink to go. Never tried their food although it looks tempting... especially the toasted bread.

    I am in London for 3 days and wanted to use the opportunity to do a little coffee tour of some places on my hit list. Milkbar, Flate White and the New St Ali were the go and my dear friend Mikey Sorbello who works at two of these places was my host.

    So Milkbar is an amazing little... Read more

    Very awesome.. This place outdoes itself.. It's like warney hooking up with Liz Hurley.. Does London deserve this wonderful coffee experience? The simple answer is no. Yet just as Warney defied the odds and punched well above his weight.. So this little gem outperforms it's surrounds.. Check it out peasants

    A great place that is just as perfect as it's sister cafe 'Flat White'. Great coffee with a perfect atmosphere

    Not worth the back streets to get there. Coffee was puke. Especially being on holiday from Australia searching for good coffee.

    The coffee and light bites are every bit as good as sister cafe, Flat White, but less frantic inside. Like Flat White, but you can read a book whilst taking your break!

    Sister store to flat white that make just as good a coffee. Service is not as strong as berwick st and maybe atmosphere is not as good but still worth a visit! Never disappointed here!

    I have been to milk bar nearly 5 times now and it is a good place for coffee. I can spend an hour there.

    Had a small cappuccino and found it too weak for my tastes. My guess is the flat white is a better choice. Nice vibe but very pleased with itself.

    With the exception of the Side Café in Newcastle (love more than judgement), the Milk Bar is my favourite place to drink coffee. Most of what I’d say has already been said by others, many times. This is a real coffee shop, manned by people who understand coffee. They know what’s in their blend... Read more

    Milk Bar was recommended to me by the boys at Flat White and is another cafe that rips out fantastic coffee all day long!. The coffee I had was smooth and strong with silky milk, perfect temperature and nice leaf. YUM!!! They use Square Mile Roasters coffee which is some of the best I have had... Read more

    In my mind, one of the more interesting aspects to the London coffee hub is the increasing plethora of 'sister' cafes. It's fantastic to have access to the things you love in your favourite cafe yet in a different location, with subtle variants to the atmosphere, coffee and food.

    The coffee is just as amazing as in Flat White but this place is that little bit nicer. And a whole lot quieter!

    We had heard legends that there were faithful groups of Aussies in the UK, trying to convert our commonwealth brothers from their dreary coffee ways of the past. So after some very average 'coffees', my band and I dedicated a day to finding the proper coffee experience we were craving.

    Lived in London for the last 10 years and it was a hard choice, but I rate this as the No.1 coffee in London, with Flat White, Lantana and Coffee Plant close runners up... Great staff, great coffee, awesome Aussie (OK they're mostly kiwi's) scrambled eggs to compliment the coffee.

    The Milk Bar team (who can sometimes be found at Flat White) are proud of what they do.

    Serving up consistently good shots, this team is amongst the best there are. Very personable and have a real sense of pride and go out of their way to educate new customers on how good coffee... Read more
