Milk Café is like candy and bumblebees and 50s revived into a living establishment with all the…read moretrimmings. I first heard about it from a friend and she described it to me as a 50s milk and burger bar, so naturally my eyes widened and I was keen for the first opportunity to eat there. Walking in there is just so much yellow! Yellow lounges, yellow and white striped interior awnings, yellow staff shirts, and a yellow website if you feel like having a look. It's really well furnished and gives off an air of retro glamour without any of the tacky elements that people sometimes associate with retro, yet it's also modern.
I don't know how they managed to pull that off, but the end product is an amazingly inviting café where I want a boy wearing a bowtie and Ray Bans to take me for a milkshake and ask me to go steady. Or a bad boy wearing a leather jacket à la Grease. Either is good thanks.
The breakfast menu caters for every nation. And by that I mean you can choose from an English brekky, Welsh, Australian (with chips, obviously), Irish, Balinese, Scottish, Jamaican, Italian, and so many more! And I saw kiddies running around with cute little cupcakes.
They also serve real tea, not teabag tea and make a really good cup of coffee. Did I also mention the music? I heard flashes of Tom Jones, the Beatles, the Carpenters and, wait for it, Disney. Beauty and the Beast to be exact. Be Our Guest, to be more exact. Need I say more?
