winMarch 7, 2015That cheddar chive biscuit for an egg Sammy base was so good I have dreams of it. Paired with a chai latte and great service. Only downside - small space. So be prepared to be cozy with strangers
Annie TFebruary 17, 2015Always busy but the staff works really hard. Had the full egg with avocado and most recently the toasted Avocado . Food is always good. Great flat white and chai tea.
Best brunch place in the hood. Flat white, avocado and poached egg on toast are divine. Also love the cous cous salad with grilled chicken on top.
CRUZiiiESeptember 12, 2015Yes it's small, yes the food options are limited... But the food that they do offer is delicious! I tried the Avocado Salsa toast and the Cheddar Biscuit sandwich. I'd come back for both!- If you're a BEC woman/man, the cheddar biscuit sandwich with bacon will be right down your alley. Looks petite, but packs a stomach punch 🐖👊
Village VoiceJune 8, 2011Try the Avocado Toast-a brawny slab of multi-grain that's been browned to its optimum crunch point, with chunky avocado salsa is as flavorful as it is abundant. Topped with a poached egg, it's perfect
ashley albertSeptember 13, 2012Beat the system! If you get the fruit compote with granola & Greek yogurt, it's 2 bucks LESS than if you get the granola with Greek yogurt & fruit compote. (Both are delicious-in a kinda healthy way.)
Serious EatsMarch 12, 2013The Australian-run spot, busy with the stroller set and discreet laptopper alike, serves unpretentiously prepared, great coffees from Counter Culture.
I admit, I used to not like this place because it felt too chaotic. But something changed; it's an absolutely delightful place to enjoy a meal, some people-watching, & some wifi. Great food & staff.
Ina LiJuly 8, 2015Australian style cafe with awesome vibes. Get the prosciutto salad with extra avocado ;)
Connie SDecember 24, 2011The full eggs with avocado is perfection - great bread with tasty ham and flavor enhancing cheese, perfectly poached eggs and some hearty slices of avocado. The flat white is incredibly smooth.
Natalie Cotto CastroSeptember 2, 2014Toasts w. Poached eggs and avocado. Offers delicious and healthy options. Organic, grass fed and local farms. Very friendly waiters
Jeff WeinsteinDecember 27, 2016Super yummy breakfast: any combination of poached eggs, salmon, and salad.- Half order of the Full Eggs is plenty! Avocado add-on powers down the saltiness of the ham, Gruyere. Delicious with or without Avo
If you're flying solo, consider sitting at one of the counter spots or the communal table, especially if you're going to sit there and nurse a glass of water. Looking at you, laptop guy at a two top.
Danny CossonOctober 31, 2015Great toasts with avocado & poached eggs. Good coffee. Delicious, fairly healthy, not too heavy brunch.
Great place for a casual lunch or brunch. I nearly always get the salmon eggs on sourdough with avocado.
katieJune 29, 2013Michael Cera brunches here (!!!) Full eggs with avocado is the obvious choice. Also, their espresso bar is makes excellent drinks.- Young ParkJune 10, 2013The avocado salsa toast with poached egg is amazing! And you must try the Australian iced coffee with french vanilla ice cream.
BuzzFeedApril 23, 2014Australian iced coffee = espresso, milk, and two big scoops of vanilla ice cream. Warning: It’s going to be hard to go back to normal iced coffee after this.
LukeDecember 25, 2017One of those toast restaurants that are supposedly why we can’t afford to buy houses. Bring cash and a strong desire for carbs
Marcia DunsmoreJanuary 22, 2016salmon and egg on toast delicious with avocado. Grilled cheese a bit skimpy on the cheese and bacon.
Esther AzarDecember 28, 2014Latte was great, salmon eggs with avocado, and avocado salsa toast with poached egg. All amaze!
David KellerDecember 15, 2013Great coffee, great eggs, great Aussie wait staff, & great bread. A must go for Prospect Heights.
Chris SiskSeptember 14, 2013Get the avocado on toast and add a poached egg on top. Jesus Christ, I can't even
The cheddar biscuit sandwich (with bacon of course) is fantastic! Their coffee is consistently great as well.
Allison KOctober 28, 2014Salmon eggs with avocado is a must. Add an iced latte for more awesomeness.
New menu items. The avocado salsa toast with a poached egg is solid. Clean with some heat.
Super friendly staff, delicious food/coffee, and they're open early on weekdays (7:30) and weekends (9:00).
Yoojin L.February 22, 2014They changed the menu! No more alcohol, or guac & poached egg toasties, but still a great spot nonetheless.
An OccesJanuary 26, 2014Seems to me they focus on presentation over taste. Not to crazy for the poached eggs & avocado. It was simply to bland. The coasters used for the drinks don't fit. Otherwise cute decor!
- The vegetarian eggs with avocado hits the spot every time. Also, come on not-a-weekend and sit forever.
You should get the Avocado Salsa toast with a poached egg and poached fruit with granola and yogurt. Also, get the coffee.
Sarah F. ParsonsFebruary 3, 2014I am not a faan of Milk Bar. I also like their avocado and eggs, but find the prices much too high! We call that highway robbery. Similar to nearby gourmet shop Brooklyn Larder! Rather go to Amorina
Afi Yellow-DukeSeptember 7, 2015delicious light breakfast and great service here! however, they're cash only and won't split checks.
Padella Culinary Tools Equipamiento GastronómicoFebruary 24, 2014Great place for breaky! my daugther loved the chacolate!
