Milk Bar

Claimed

great coffee, no bathroom

Tucked away from the hubbub. A good spot to chill and restore. Calm if not slightly too layback. Anzac biscuit is enormous and ok. Coffee is bitter but quite good

So, we went in for a quick iced latte so can't really comment on their barista skills. In terms of the coffee I can only say the iced latte was pretty good if not exceptional. The atmosphere was non-existent but I haven't been too harsh on that mark as there was a flaming great truck parked outside on our visit which did cut the view. However, to be fair the street is pretty grim anyway so the truck may have improved things! Staff-wise the young lady serving was fairly friendly but the other guys could barely raise a grunt when we left and offered them a very cheery, "thanks, bye." Would I recommend it? No. Would I visit again? Tap isn't far away so why would I go here?!? So, nope!

Great flat white with a smile! I'm also an atmosphere guy and this place has that - big doors that open up straight onto the street, nice background music etc. Though, there are places in Soho that do it a bit better... the coffee is worth it 👌🏼

Well, here's the thing fellow caffeine addicts. Milk bar was pretty ace, I had a great filter that was made even better by the company and exchanges between a friendly wait staff. The coffee was strong enough, like a middle aged man as opposed to something too strong like a body builder. And the flavours a rich bouquet of coffee related flavours. Yum delicious. Go here, you'll enjoy it.

Way expensive and not so much impressed by the cappuccino, bitter and heavy on the stomach...

I came back to Milk Bar 5 years after I first visited and must say it was a great experience. Staff was really helpful, we were looking for a seat as it was a bit crowded. I remembered they were one of he first to do Flat Whites in London and 6-7 years later I was wondering how well they would make them. They didn't disappoint. In fact, it was the best cup we drank for a long time. Enjoy!

Coffee pretty good nice atmosphere and good music

Looking over past reviews it looks like this place has been through a rough patch, but with Drop Coffee as it's go-to it's become a real destination again!

The little sister of Flat White is apparently not as good. The coffee is fairly decent but something is missing for me, the service is half smily half grumpy.... The food selection is OK-ish but nothing to write home about.
