Milk 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.

I 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.

Backyard garden and greenhouse! Such a cute brunch place with unlimited mimosas. The potato latke with creme fraiche and smoked salmon is really good!
Max PolloSeptember 8, 2016
Beautiful garden in the back, indoors also lovely. Nice drinks, perfectly grilled octopus and don't forget to ask for risotti of the day!

I 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

With 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

The 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, 2013
Yes, 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, 2015
Seriously 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!

1. 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

Really cozy indoors. Something out a movie, great place to bring a date. The back garden though...

Eat gingersnap pancakes in the greenhouse or sip tea near the library, and you’ll feel like a tourist in your own city. Read more

It'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!
MegSeptember 17, 2017
Came 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

Lovely back garden with tables and benches. A charming find in the neighborhood!
Vivian RamirezSeptember 26, 2016
This place is what date dreams are made of. Romantic place with nice looking apps and drinks. Nice staff- beautiful ambiance.
Ababil AnwarJanuary 15, 2017
Lovely 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.
Nathan GammieJune 30, 2013
This 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, 2015
They 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.

THIS IS LITERALLY THE CUTEST PLACE
Elena BazuApril 9, 2016
The best place in Greenpoint for wine, cocktails, red sofas and piano.
NathanFebruary 4, 2015
No laptops after 5pm, but really, why do work here then anyway? Enjoy this gem of a wine bar and live a little.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideMay 2, 2013
Lots 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

Surprisingly uncrowded for brunch, despite their overly hipster set-up. Definitely a plus
LukeApril 26, 2015
Come in the spring and sit in the backyard. Come in the winter and sit in the very bookish interior
Alex MizrahiNovember 28, 2012
Lots of old books lining the walls, great coffee and croissants, ample work space and plugs and wifi...This place is heavenly.
Jake DylanApril 29, 2016

Milk & Roses has the intimate feel of a home living room. At night, trade your coffee in for a glass of wine. Read more

Great panini. Enjoy the Gorgonzola and figs sandwich in the patio at the back
Paul WeidingerJuly 20, 2014
The chicken dish is phenomenal. So is the calamari. Very friendly staff. Great date spot too.
Nathan MusgroveJune 1, 2015
Wonderful wine with a great ambiance to boot. With this location, it really draws a local crowd.

It'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. Read more

If 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

Great beer selection and garden. Unfortunately cash only and they are charging a COVID-19 10% premium
Claudia FilthFebruary 21, 2016
The egg sandwich is more of a baguette but the $24 unlimited coffee/mimosa brunch pre-fixe is hard to beat!
Graham LindnerDecember 3, 2015
Excellent food and atmosphere. Garden in the back is fantastic in the summer.
Sa BinaJuly 9, 2017
Good brunch pre fixed deal. It includes entree item unlimited mimosas and choice of coffee, tea, or soda!!!
Erik SchomburgJune 15, 2018
Great back yard. Cocktails were adventurous, but not quite excellent. Beautiful bar, though.
JM ParveauxApril 5, 2015
Small cosy and romantic Italian wine bar. Awesome for quiet dates
SteveFebruary 28, 2016
Very pretty little bar. Great wine list and tasty nibbles available.
Christopher RoblesJune 2, 2010
Amazing 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.
Jason KooAugust 1, 2013
This is a wonderful place. Drink Lambrusco at the bar and request the Complete Poems of Milton off the shelf!
Sa BinaSeptember 3, 2017
Great bottomless option. Waitstaff was super nice and refills kept on coming!

My absolute favorite cafe in the hood, amazing backyard and live piano on Mondays <3
