ℳ𝒶𝓎♍May 23, 2015Milkbar is a truly superb coffeeshop in one of my fav parts of town.Three cheers for Milkbar! Lovely espresso beverages and yummy breakfast options make it a great addition to the Soho's coffee-scene❤
Nice coffee (Square Mile blend) aside, the scowling baristas here are always miserable. Lighten up a bit, else we take our custom elsewhere - lord knows there are plenty of good coffee shops in Soho.
Wladimir AlbujaAugust 23, 2015#foodie #bondia First time here. The staff look happy and enjoying the time. That's good. The presentation of the products is good. I'll be here for second time.
Baristas that know what they're doing. Granola packed with flavour. An atmosphere suitable for catchups, meetings or tapping away at the laptop (with wifi you can leech from next door).
James CoveyDecember 17, 2014This place is deeply unorthodox, and good fun. Lots of banter with the baristas, and some very good coffee. Don't have Anzacs, though.
Martin TiedemannJune 12, 20126 January: Milkbar is a stylish little cafe specialising in teas, coffees and cakes, served in attractive surroundings and vintage teacups. It is a haven from the hustle and bustle outside.
Ministry of WaxingMay 4, 2012Unlike the hustle of regular chain coffee shops, this quaint cafe’s relaxed atmosphere is perfect for taking a break or getting a quick breakfast before heading off to work.
LondonistApril 19, 2012Pssst...it's the favourite coffee shop of FourSquare, whose new London office is nearby. Hang about long enough, and you might hear some gossip.
Flat white, long black, short blue, rugged brown, doesn't matter as long as it comes with a TOASTED BANANA BREAD ... Not only is it tasty but also spiritually uplifting ... A MUST
Victor DoOctober 22, 2015Knowledgeable barista who was able to answer some questions about the origins of the coffee and why the espresso goes better with milk than solo.
Pretty decent flat white. Nice latte art, but pretty strongly roasted espresso blend.
Gozde AcarMarch 5, 2017Get your flat white and have a seat at the bank outside. Nice coffee with the excellent people.
Fabulous coffee. Possibly the best in london. Try their other place flat out white too.
Righi Travel Like a LocalMarch 15, 2014Cool bar good music and great flat white. It feels like being in east London rather than Soho.
Tim LionMarch 17, 2011Great coffee, southern hemisphere talents schools London on coffee here and at Flat White. Try toasted Turkish bread with Vegemite for a true antipodean treat.
Grab a coffee and take a seat on a bench out the front. Excellent way to soak up the atmosphere of Soho on a Saturday morning.
Lidia VorontsovaAugust 31, 2014One of those generic Soho coffee shops with hangover staff and semi-decent coffee. But that's exactly why we like Soho, isn't it?- Amy KSeptember 2, 2012Flat whites par excellence! And much more chilled out and nice to sit in than their bustling sister cafe, Flat White.
Christiane LinkAugust 15, 2013Chocolate milkshake is huge, friendly staff. Interesting talks you can listen too - if you get a table.
Kate MaxwellOctober 12, 2014Lots of great magazines to read. Delicious coffee & cute interior styling. Love it.
Fiez MughalApril 9, 2012Lovely cafe. Lovely presentation of drinks. Only had the mocha so far, but it was a delight. Do go!
ChrisAugust 31, 2014Great place to pick up a dam good ice coffee if passing through soho. Lovely chaps too!
Benjemyn DeynOctober 3, 2011A bit dark however Milk Bar has a good feel; laid back, simple and good coffee. It is situated in Soho relatively close to Flat White.
Marcy RichardsonMarch 16, 2012Try the Greek Yogurt - Quick caffeine hit and breakfast on way back to office. Seriously delish. Coffee is super tasty too.
Best coffee I've had since the day I left Melbourne 9 months ago
Mar RodriguezAugust 2, 2010Best coffee in Soho and I'm really exigent with coffee :) delicious porridge and french toasts. My place for having a really good breakfast.
Good coffee, friendly staff and simple but tasty food = winning.
whatharrysdoneApril 9, 2014Sister store of Flat White you are guaranteed to have a great cup of coffee here.
Gemma BevanOctober 23, 2009Love the antipodean style coffee. Little sister to Flat White (Berwick Street). Great coffee - never bitter or burnt and no boiled milk! The hot chocs are a treat too.
Tim BushMay 28, 2012Great coffee. Go for the Mocha. Terrible taste in music, though. Xmas tunes at the end of May. Odd!
Damien SaundersDecember 22, 2011If there's room inside, grab a coffee and sit down for 10 mins. Always busy, so grab a seat if you can
- Go to Milk Bar for great coffee (their flat white is excellent) and the most amazing chocolate orange brownies in the whole world.
