    Reviews With Photos - Milkbread

    Devin K.

    I felt like I got catfished tbh! All over social media there are photos of milkbread being inside. It was 35 degrees out so I was looking for a coffee shop/ place to grab lunch where I could sit and relax. This location is outside- don't even dare try to sit down as all the tables and chairs were filled with water and ice. They were out of chicken which seemed odd with that being one of their most popular items and 8am. I got a biscuit which I do have to admit was amazinggggg probably one of the best biscuits I have ever had! Coffee was eh (was very watered down) but the cinnamon roll was 11/10 fluffy, moist, and the frosting tasted home made!

    First time customer and I ordered through Door Dash! I got a hot dip sandwich which was super yummy, however because it took so long to arrive, the bottom bun was soggy. That wasn't their fault and I would definitely go back and get it fresh in person because it tasted amazing!! The mac and cheese was bland and tasted more like buttered noodles, so wasn't a fan of that. The chocolate chip cookie was actually too salty that I had to toss it. But I did like the chicken sandwich and would go back for that and to try a cinnamon roll!

    Milkbread earns their 5-stars just for the brown butter oatmeal crème pie alone! Everything else we've had there is quite tasty as well. When the weather is nice, there is not much we love more than walking to Milkbread with our old hound dog and hanging out at their outdoor tables. I especially love that they preserved the old Dairy Queen building that was quite the landmark for the Plaza Midwood neighborhood when everyone else is literally just bulldozing historical spots for more apartments.

    Avocado Toast, The Original Sandwich, Fruit Cup
    Nina S.

    Milk Bread is Kindred's sister restaurant and the quality is solid, especially when it comes to their sandwiches. That said, the pricing feels high for what you get. My avocado toast tasted fine but it was very average for twelve dollars and did not feel worth the price. I would stop in again if it were the only thing open, but it is not somewhere I go out of my way for.

    The Hot Dip, Latte, Strawberry Matcha
    Rosa O.

    I avoided Milkbread for years out of pure principle. The old Dairy Queen used to sit on that corner like royalty, and I just wasn't ready to move on. But after finally giving in? Yeah... I've seen the light. I got The Hot Dip chicken sandwich and I will think about it for the rest of my life. Crispy, spicy, crunchy perfection with tangy slaw that made my eyes roll back (in a good way). I also grabbed an iced hazelnut latte and, no exaggeration, it was the bee's knees. Like, sipping-on-a-cloud good. The cashier was genuinely sweet, even offering us water cups without us having to beg or barter: rare behavior these days. And the ambience?? If I squinted and ignored the cars zooming down Plaza, I could've sworn I was lounging outside a chic Parisian café, living my best life. Almost forgot to mention that they also have Pup Cups! Long story short: I came in bitter and left a believer. Milkbread, you won.

    Petite Warm Milkbread Beignets (12ct)
    Denisa W.

    Love the vibe of this place. Their matcha is incredible, and the hot coffee is pretty good. The iced coffee is a bit watery for my taste. There's usually a line during peak hours but you never wait too long, and the staff is friendly. The beignets are freshly made and to die for! Chicken sandwiches are always a win here, too.

    The Original Sandwich

    Milkbread served the best chicken sandwich I've had in a while and without a doubt, the best cinnamon roll I think I've ever had! The chicken was juicy on the inside and fried to perfection on the outside. The bread was fresh. The pickles and lettuce added a crunchy/fresh snap to the bite. What surprised us the most is how much flavor was on this sandwich! The chicken and the pickles had a ton of flavor. We loved the sandwich. The cinnamon roll!! That thing stole the show. We shared it for dessert. So ooey gooey and fresh and delicious! I loved it. The ham and cheese croissant reminded me of the croissants we had in Italy. The street dining experience is fun also. We loved this place so much, I'm taking my sister here this weekend!

    Draft latte
    Cristina R.

    Fried chicken sandwiches and cinnamon rolls on an outdoor patio - the combo I didn't know I needed! Milkbread delivers on quality eats and casual vibes in the heart of Plaza Midwood. We came on a nice day and enjoyed our leisurely lunch at the outdoor tables with views of folks with their babies and dogs. You order & pay with a staff member at the window and wait for your name to be called. We enjoyed a draft latte (which was well blended and felt very caffeinated), OG sandwiches (crispy, moist chicken with briny pickles on soft potato bread), and a cinny roll (served warm with luscious frosting on the side). The menu has both breakfast and lunch items, which makes it a perfect option during daylight hours. Milkbread is a neighborhood staple, and I look forward to hanging out here again!

    The OG sandwich was soggy and the chicken was uneven and the thick parts were incredibly dry. I might have to order something else cuz this sandwich was overrated. And the matcha was weak. With lots of menu items there may be a return visit.

    Whole-ish Salad with hot dipped nuggets

    The seasonal blueberry donut sounded so tasty. Sadly, it did not deliver on flavor. The glaze was bland and the donut itself was stale. Had an eggy smell to it as well. This trip was a miss.

    Morning Bagel

    Tasted really good, but it was kind of greasy. This location is perfect for not so sunny days. I also recommend ordering ahead. There's usually a line.

    The Hot Dip - vegetarian with Pimento Cheese
    Inka M.

    Milkbread is magically delicious! This has become my partner's and my favorite spot for breakfast or lunch. The food is consistently tasty, and I really appreciate that they offer vegetarian substitutions--like the veggie hot dip chick'n sandwich. I ordered mine with pimento cheese on a biscuit, and it was so good (though the biscuit did fall apart a bit). The staff is friendly, and the outdoor seating area has a great vibe--perfect for enjoying your meal. The only downside was seeing a male staff member stick his nose in someone's coffee cup, presumably to check the aroma. It came off a little disturbing. Overall, I'd give Milkbread a solid 9/10. Just a small suggestion: have staff regularly wipe down the dining areas to keep things consistently clean.

    I enjoyed my first visit to Milkbread. It is a cute little eatery and is outside dining only. Staff were very friendly. My friend loves their sweets so she got a few different things. I loved the homemade pickles.

    Short version? Life-altering experience…read more We were in town visiting family, and my wife kept bringing this donut spot up that was going to be at the Uptown Farmer's Market. I was willing to go but wasn't overly excited...until I saw the menu and saw 4 words: Peach. Cobbler. Cinnamon. Roll. Peach Cobbler is absolutely undefeated in my book, so I had to go. We got there, had great service, and got a little of everything to take home. Let me cut to the chase: This was a top 5 thing I've EVER eaten. It was so good, I had to kiss it before it was gone. The picture is not posed; this was captured without me knowing because once I started eating this, I was in another world. Everything else was incredible as well! Donuts, cinnamon rolls, fritters...they don't miss! Unforgettable experience!

We got the strawberry biscoff donut and cinnamon roll. The strawberry donut did not have a biscoff drizzle as pictured online, so I did not get a strong biscoff flavor with only a couple cookie crumbs on top. However, the strawberry frosting tasted fresh, not that artificial candy flavor, so we really enjoyed that! The star of the show was the texture! It was light and fluffy, amazing! We really loved this donut even if it missed on the biscoff notes. The cinnamon was a standard cinnamon roll to, us. Nothing stood out about it, but still satisfied a cinnamon roll craving. Service was fantastic- loved the welcoming and friendly vibes. I didn't get the name of the person working the market tent today, but she's great! Definitely give BAD a try if you see them around. We know we will sometime again!

    BEST DONUTS IN THE CAROLINAS!!!…read more If that is the only thing you take away from this review - let it be that these donuts are the BEST in NC and SC. Every single donut, fritter, donut hole, long john - you cannot go wrong. My favorite is the chocolate Long John with white buttercream. The owner is precious and so unbelievably friendly! She even threw in a few fee donut holes with our order. The building itself is very cozy and reminds me of a local spot that you can count on for consistent quality and service. So!!! Now for the long story. My brother used to live up in Burlington, NC and would bring donuts from a place called "NC JELLY DONUTS" every time he came to visit. Long story short - we became obsessed. He would bring a dozen donuts and they would be gone before the end of the weekend. Well... the time came for him to move away from Burlington and we all cried because we do not know the next time we would have "NC JELLY DONUTS". Each week we would get in the phone planning our next trip to Burlington - patiently waiting to get our donut fix. We didn't want to branch out because we thought we had found the best. Flash forward to 4/2/2026 - my brother is visiting the CLT area. For the past 6 months have been researching donut shops in the GREATER Charlotte area since we aren't able to get up to Burlington this time. All of my sources have told me - try Momo Donuts - they are incredible. So, that is exactly what we do. From the moment we walked in the door at Momo Donut, we felt at home. Like a warm hug after a long journey. My brother's ears perk up, nose twitches, he looks at me and instantly says "This is NC JELLY DONUTS"!!! I explain to him that... no, this is Momo donuts and is different. When we go to pay for our donuts we mention about our addiction to NC Jelly Donut and ask if they have ever heard of them. That is when the owner bursts into a smile and says "Oh yes, that is my sister!!!" - WHAT A SMALL WORLD! I am happy to share that the addiction has resumed and we are so grateful that Momo donut is now just a short car ride away. A sense of peace and order has returned to the balance of our lives. So, I apologize that there are no photos - the donuts were consumed too quickly to snap a picture. But don't worry - I will visiting again soon! So grateful for this family and their commitment to bringing joy through their baked goods. What a small word that we they have become so vital in our families life. This was such a wonderful surprise!!
