The coffee was definitely dense and strong. Sadly, they did not have any vanilla flavoring, but the oat milk flavoring shined through.

"There is no greater combination of three words than All Day Breakfast," a dear friend announced as…read morewe entered Milk Cloud. Of course, the phrase could be applied to pretty much any cafe worth its salt in Melbourne, but as it was uttered here I feel it should be attributed accurately. He ordered a big fryup, I ordered my usual coffee. His came laden with bacon, hash brown, spinach, mushroom, eggs, toast. You know, the fry up. I cursed myself that I'd already eaten (this cafe has the other three word phrase that lightens up my day: "Gluten Free Available") and I watched his orangey egg yolks dribble all over the plate drooling a little. There's a nice trend I'm noticing in cafes at the moment to make sure that any coffee (especially if it's a weird request) comes looking as aesthetically pleasing as it tastes. Actually, sometimes it looks far better than it tastes, but this isn't the point right now. Good coffee, nicely presented. Place looks good too, there's a huge cartoon map of Ashburton on the wall that's fun to look at whilst waiting for food.

It's in the back back streets of Clifton Hill but has an impressively constant stream of customers. There's a low key casual decor that sort of works here. Low key but effective service throughout as well too. Not many smiles here but plenty of efficiency. I had the pork and beans dish which I adored. A great dish for another cool grey Melbourne day. The pork and fennel sausages in this dish were spectacularly good. As good as you could make, I reckon. If they were made on site someone here is a sausage maker of rare genius. They're superb. The beans were lovely as well with nice heat evident from the jalapeño. Nice bits of ciabatta to spread the beans on as well. This was a really lovely and perfectly sized dish. The world's most beautiful woman was disappointed in her dish though. It was a toastie with pulled pork. I had a taste and liked it but she wasn't keen on the chilli in the pulled pork. Her point was that the chilli part wasn't noted on the menu and she wasn't keen on the unexpected heat at all. A real shame. Super coffee to finish. We both really enjoyed our respective coffees, a long black and a flat white. They kindly gave one coffee free because of the unnoted chilli in the toastie. I'd definitely return here. I liked the place.

Actually, it went beyond awesome, if that is at all possible. Like, their eggs benedict was nothing short of perfection, and in fact they made it in a way that suggested that they were more than willing to add their own special touch to it. Yeah, I have to say that I absolutely loved this place, and I probably should mentioned that they made an awesome pot of tea as well.

The food is great, but you cannot go without trying one of two dishes: The breakfast burrito and the pumpkin pancakes.

Great place to check out if you're in the area. Fail safe, never disappoints.

In the mornings you'll walk by and see them grabbing a quick coffee and mentally calculating which cake to get. But get in quick if you want some of that cakey goodness. By 3pm the overflowing cabinet is empty. Dessert desolate empty. It's a terrible feeling when you realise that you've missed out on the vanilla slice or custard filled doughnut.
