diogo pauloApril 19, 2014Milk and Roses is one of the sweetest places in Greenpoint. Try the organic chicken, simple cooked but so tasty. The space inside is full of vintage details and outside anyone can be happy.
Eshrefe ShehuJuly 21, 2016I loved the americano. They serve misceladoro coffee. The food was tasty. And the garden is spacious and very beautiful. The rustic feel and the trees make such a relaxing and lovely atmosphere.
There are two forms of bread pudding on the menu: sweet or savory. The sweet (pictured) is an excellent dessert. The savory is the Aquasale all'Uovo, more of a lunch entree with bread, green & an egg.
Jess HueyNovember 30, 2015Backyard garden and greenhouse! Such a cute brunch place with unlimited mimosas. The potato latke with creme fraiche and smoked salmon is really good!
BashayerMay 12, 2014I thought that seating area was it. I left my stuff wandered around and found the most beautiful backyard/garden/green house. So don't sit at the front ! Go to the back!! Also remember CASH ONLY
Max PolloSeptember 8, 2016Beautiful garden in the back, indoors also lovely. Nice drinks, perfectly grilled octopus and don't forget to ask for risotti of the day!
- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideApril 29, 2013With some of the best cafe design in NYC, with open beams, rough hewn floor, sagging shelves of books, a grand piano, and a leather couch, this is a cozy spot to read, work or meet a friend. Read more
- Susanna AnJanuary 9, 2017The food here is incredible. Vegetable Napoleon is unassuming, but it's delicately rich and interesting in flavor. The warm ricotta kicks it up a notch. Duck breast also phenomenal.
Ray LinNovember 1, 2013Yes, they have both milk and roses here. There's also great food, coffee, wifi, back yard and vintage library decor. Great place to read and/or GSD.
Julia WuNovember 22, 2015Seriously one of the most lovely bars I've been in a while. Blood berry / eponymous cocktails were also delicious. Excited to come back & try the food!
Anna NAugust 7, 20131. Attend one of the delightful music performances on Tuesday evening 2. Order a savory cheese platter 3. Immerse yourself in huge stacks of books 4. Leave a quote at the bar
Abner AcevesNovember 17, 2014Really cozy indoors. Something out a movie, great place to bring a date. The back garden though...
MegSeptember 17, 2017Came for brunch & though very cute & what seemed like a nice menu, our food never came after 1hr as we "got caught behind a large order" although we saw 3 people who had sat after us get their food
Tina MagnusonDecember 31, 2012It's a great place to grab a quick coffee with friends, warm and cozy and the shelves lined with books makes it feel homey. However, do so without fidgety toddlers!
Ababil AnwarJanuary 15, 2017Lovely place. but went there for dinner and wasn't a fan of the dinner menu. But I think the am menu is better. Cute date spot.
- Damon SununtnasukApril 21, 2017Lovely back garden with tables and benches. A charming find in the neighborhood!
Vivian RamirezSeptember 26, 2016This place is what date dreams are made of. Romantic place with nice looking apps and drinks. Nice staff- beautiful ambiance.
Nathan GammieJune 30, 2013This is an amazing place. From the hand-written menus on envelopes to the outdoor garden and indoor ambience.
The cocktails are seasonal and very creative. I rarely eat here, but on the occasions I have, the food has been fantastic.
Byron WilkesDecember 22, 2015They have a great selection of books on the wall that you should take turns reading if you're with a group, or dive into one yourself.
- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideMay 2, 2013Lots of seating options, a backyard garden, free wifi, many plugs and gorgeous decor make this an excellent working spot. Skip the coffee, food's not bad. Read more
NathanFebruary 4, 2015No laptops after 5pm, but really, why do work here then anyway? Enjoy this gem of a wine bar and live a little.
Kelsey✨October 19, 2015Surprisingly uncrowded for brunch, despite their overly hipster set-up. Definitely a plus
LukeApril 26, 2015Come in the spring and sit in the backyard. Come in the winter and sit in the very bookish interior
Alex MizrahiNovember 28, 2012Lots of old books lining the walls, great coffee and croissants, ample work space and plugs and wifi...This place is heavenly.
Jake DylanApril 29, 2016Loved it! Great service; strong mimosas; super cute backyard. Highly recommend!
MaximilianoAugust 17, 2013Great panini. Enjoy the Gorgonzola and figs sandwich in the patio at the back
Untapped CitiesJanuary 17, 2014Milk & Roses has the intimate feel of a home living room. At night, trade your coffee in for a glass of wine. Read more
- Paul WeidingerJuly 20, 2014The chicken dish is phenomenal. So is the calamari. Very friendly staff. Great date spot too.
Nathan MusgroveJune 1, 2015Wonderful wine with a great ambiance to boot. With this location, it really draws a local crowd.- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideApril 28, 2013It's not remotely a coffee destination but Milk & Roses scores extremely high in coziness and design and throws wifi, plugs, and a large backyard garden into the mix.

AleNovember 5, 2020Great beer selection and garden. Unfortunately cash only and they are charging a COVID-19 10% premium- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideMay 8, 2013If you're not used to Italian hot chocolate, you could be excused for thinking you'd mis-ordered pudding by mistake. Rich & thick, the spoon stands up straight. Read more
Claudia FilthFebruary 21, 2016The egg sandwich is more of a baguette but the $24 unlimited coffee/mimosa brunch pre-fixe is hard to beat!
Sa BinaJuly 9, 2017Good brunch pre fixed deal. It includes entree item unlimited mimosas and choice of coffee, tea, or soda!!!
Graham LindnerDecember 3, 2015Excellent food and atmosphere. Garden in the back is fantastic in the summer.
Erik SchomburgJune 15, 2018Great back yard. Cocktails were adventurous, but not quite excellent. Beautiful bar, though.
Jason KooAugust 1, 2013This is a wonderful place. Drink Lambrusco at the bar and request the Complete Poems of Milton off the shelf!
- Sa BinaSeptember 3, 2017Great bottomless option. Waitstaff was super nice and refills kept on coming!
Maria StanishevaSeptember 26, 2013My absolute favorite cafe in the hood, amazing backyard and live piano on Mondays <3
Christopher RoblesJune 2, 2010Amazing atmosphere...a wall of leather-bound books, tin tile ceiling, beauliful rose garden patio, piano, and great food and coffee. The owners and customers are friendly & tend to be very laid back.
Great atmosphere for work or play, lots of room, outlets, seats and table space, lovely backyard, free wifi.
Hidden gem, awesome interior, nice staff, great coffee and food. Best place in Greenpoint.
