My friend Rob and I went here for brunch recently for the first time and the food was so good! The inside of the building is super small so if you are wanting to eat inside, get their early becasue seating is first come first serve. We ordered the same thing which was the Ube housemade cream soda and their Milque Toast with extra bacon. The Ube cream soda was a very unique flavor but we liked it and the color is just really pretty. This Milque Toast though?!?! Omg! it was everything. They use this cinnamon sugar bread pudding and it's topped with this vanilla custard cream and the bacon was cooked to perfection. Everything we ate was so good and we will come back again read more

Stopped in for a quick bite with a friend. The space is small and cozy. There is plenty of outdoor seating when the weather permits. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The menu boasts a variety of toasts to try. Many vegetarian options available too! We went with the cured salmon and the avocado toast. The presentation of both plates was absolutely stunning!!! Both plates have a small mixed greens salad. The vinaigrette was light and delicious! The toast was hearty with a generous amount of salmon. You can also add egg or bacon to your meal but this would have been overkill on an already perfect meal. I look forward to visiting again soon to try more!! read more

I was looking for something worthwhile for lunch and stumbled on Milque Toast Bar. It is rare for lunch to look beautiful. Good or tasty, sure. Beautiful? Not often. And it tasted beautiful. I had a Turkey Melt, and it was nutty, crunching, salty, and completely wonderful. Also, the iced tea was really good. I have never written that sentence before. I mean it, though. The chairs were cute but uncomfortable. But, I ended up having lunch with one of the cooks who was just off from work, and the friendliness of the staff made me forget about the chairs. I will absolutely return. It was a very satisfying lunch. read more

I wanted to like Milque Toast. The new space is very welcoming and the artful platings are to be appreciated. But I will not return. It simply takes way too long to receive anything and everything. Most frustrating is that the menu is not accurate. Dishes arrive with goopy, unwanted aioli (?). Why is that not specified on the menu? Why, for example, does aioli come drizzled on top of a side order of potatoes? Sure, we could have sent the plates back, but we had already waited more than an hour for food. To top it off, we realized after we returned home that we were also charged for our companions' half of the meal. Of course, we don't mind paying for our friends, but it seems they were charged, too? Very sloppy and unorganized all around. I'm not eager to leave poor reviews, but Milque Toast earned this one. read more

I wanted to love it, I really really did. I've been following them on FB for awhile, and was so glad a couple months ago when they reopened. I FINALLY talked my fiancé into going with me and....I don't think we'll ever be back. We came in on a Sunday morning with snow on the ground, we were the only ones in the place. The back was super messy for some reason, and the front of house gal was in slippers and didn't know anything at all about the menu. Nothing. It was very confusing as we've both worked in restaurants and didn't get any help. Their conversation was super odd as well as we spent the whole 25 min with them talking crap on a friend for charging rent to their other friends who lived in their house? I'm not sure what the whole situation was, but as a millennial, I can say this was entitlement and made us feel kinda uncomfortable. We left shaking our heads. They were talking so loud it was hard to ignore it. My fiancé started with an iced tea, it's was English breakfast so it was good, but no refills - full price for a second one FYI. I got a cream soda, this is a REAL cream soda with the milky cream and everything which was a pleasant surprise, it was like drinking a float. I really liked that! Then the food, I got the kale and butternut squash toast - honestly, I thought it was good. Was it something I could have (and should have) easily made at home? Yeah. My fiancé got the sausage toast and gravy, which was highly recommended, and again, meh. The toast was plain white bread and the gravy was something we easily could have made at home. It was kinda runny with soggy toast. All of this is fine and dandy, except their prices are insane. We spent $40 on that. It was honestly a huge disappointment, service was meh, food was meh. Idk, maybe we went on an off day, but we won't be back. read more

I really like this cute, quaint toast bar on Jefferson! It's small but feels welcoming and there's also outdoor seating which is great since it's summer! I wasn't too *sold* on any of the toasts, however, I worked with the employee and she made me my own specialty toast. A vision come to life and chef's kiss it was good! I have been here before and will be back. read more

The sausage and gravy plate had a small amount of gravy with mediocre sausage and even worst piece of toast, it was dry and burnt at some parts ...

Who doesn't love breakfast the place is small and quaint. It was a little gloomy that day, but it made for excellent lighting. The toast here is surprisingly really filling. I ordered the eggplant toast. It was more of an eggplant quiche, all baked and in a cube shape. It came with kale and a side of grapes. I did get to try the fruit/cheese toast with added bacon on top, also tried the truffles egg toast with added bacon on top with a side of potato salad. A total of three dishes. I rated it a 4/5 star because the eggplant dish was a little dry. It need some sort of added touch to keep its moisture and flavor into the baked dish, but I can't put my finger on exactly what it needed. There were also tomatoes baked into the eggplant and egg cube. It was not on a piece of toast (because that's what I asked ). In addition, the kale was very fresh and the dressing was excellent. The grapes were firm and slightly sweet As for the fruit/cheese with added bacon, I did enjoy. You wouldn't expect the fruit jam to match well with the cheese, but the flavors blend in and it really really works. I would not have ordered this myself because it's a little too sweet for me and I am definitely one to check for nutrition. This would not fit a lot of food categories in my book The truffles egg toast with bacon on top and a side of potato salad was good!! The toast was layered with kale, dressing, and their homemade truffle egg salad. I did not expect the dish to be cold, but I can see that with the truffle egg "salad," the dish needed to be cold. The potato salad was also delicious!! Out of the three dishes, I would go with the truffle egg toast with bacon on top. read more

Arrived for lunch at 12, two other customers there and it took nearly an hour to get a bowl of soup. No refills on the water. They did not have change for cash. Did not know how to use credit app so initially charged 20 for a 12 bowl of soup. Finally got it right. Not worth the time. read more

I've driven by this place a dozen times. Not going to lie, the thought of a place serving different toasts didn't seem all that intriguing. One day however, looking for a new breakfast spot to go to I came across pictures of their food and was instantly sold on going. Rest assured, the food tastes as amazing as it looks. Their menu is rotating, but if you have the chance I definitely reccomend the salmon. As a huge fan of lox and bagels, it was absolutely delicious. What a super cute spot too! Add this place to the list of best patios in St Louis. Their patio is super cute, and completely its own vibe. Would really love to see them broaden their coffee options, as I would totally come here just for coffee on the patio. Super glad I didn't sleep on Milque Toast though! read more

It's all good - food, service, ambiance. My husband and I really enjoyed both of our recent visits, so this spot will be on heavy rotation for us. I'm kind of hesitant to give them a great review because it's kind of an undiscovered gem and once it catches on, I'm sure it will be difficult to get a seat. This a new location for Milque Toast with expanded service. The inspired menu is unique, not your standard fare, and the food is delicious, farm fresh, and beautifully presented. The menu changes as ingredients become available and as inspiration hits. The owner/chef is warm, gracious, and very personable. They are working on obtaining their liquor license, so you can BYOB for now. All in all, it's a great place to read more

Milque Toast is a tiny joint right off Jefferson Ave. There's three tables inside and a few outside on the patio, and we chose to sit near the window as it was raining. My partner and I shared the s'mores toast and the truffled egg salad. The truffled egg salad was rich and filling, and the proportions of egg salad to bread to mixed greens made this feel like a composed dish. The s'mores toast was definitely tasty but not particularly impressive or inventive, and for $10+ I'd want more from the dish. I definitely want to go back and try more of the savory toast options! read more

Wow. This locally/owned indie food bar's fare and presentation are impressive. We devoured the avocado toast and the asparagus toast and both made for hearty and super satisfying breakfast on a laid-back Saturday morning. I expect we'll be regulars here especially in the warmer months when their outdoor space is more appealing. Come early for your meal and don't be rushed... the place is tiny inside. They lovingly show their care for the community in their work. They display a sign supporting livable wages and are part of the 'gift a meal' program where by sharing a pic of your food via this app you easily give a meal to someone with food insecurity. read more

Milque Toast - Comfort Food Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

How many times did I drive past this place before visiting? ~900 How far is it from me? 1 block. No excuses. Upon first glance and drive by, it seems it could be one of those clique-y places like...starts with "Moka" and ends with "bees", which I also lived 1 block from and never felt welcomed. If you're not part of the regular clique, they just ain't that into you. Same welcoming signs (a la Black Lives Matter, neighborhood for all, etc.), Same hipsters sitting outside, same mis-matched cuties with i-puters and coffee inside for hours. There are only so many pictures of avocado toast, marshmallows, and gravlax that I can look at before giving in in immediate fashion. That's what I did last Sunday. But imagine my disappointment when the menu had no 1) avocado toast, 2) smoked salmon toast, 3) a fruit/cheese toast, and 4) were out of the pepper chicken (see my tag line "all Mexican all the time"), but tequila shrimp kinda fit the craving. By noon on Sunday they were out of a few things already, and the iPad register wasn't working. They said we could just pay after we ate, cool! The toasts and sides we had, as part of the sample platter, we're all delicious. My husband's cream soda was ahhhmazing. My Jamaica tea was eh. Seating inside is one long community table, which was completely full, so we sat outside. The outside area is cute, with an outdoor kitchen, stage and mismatched tables and old booths. Some of the tables/chairs are broken or uneven, so watch out (husband sat on a 3-legged chair and bout ate it!) Their refrigerator is also out there and some tables are covered with a sunshade. THE BUGS WERE HORRENDOUS. Like, we had to give the bugs their own food so they'd leave us "moreso" alone. Don't sit by the dripping water/dog bowl (genius idea) because that's the fly hang out. I can see how some people didn't get a welcoming impression, a la M...abees, because it does come across that way. Hollier-than-thou hipsters in their own clique with smarter and more informed opinions than you, plus they are regulars so you can eat then leave! Mmmk! But, it wasn't really that way for me. And the owner adored my husband's gifted naked bootie t-shirt, so bonus points for that. Everyone was helpful and nice, and patrons were all kinds. Now you KNOW I'll be back, scouting that gravlax and avocado toast. Who knows...I may just join the elusive clique and become a regular, ditching my nomad foodie style. (Yes, I know my toasts don't look as fancy as everyone else's) read more

Keep your eyes peeled when going down Jefferson Ave because you might be missing out on a gem. My wife and came here during weekday to have our monthly work lunches together. She left the decision up to me this time around, so I chose Milque Toast Bar. I had read lots of great things about this place and was super excited to check it out, not knowing what to expect. The place is on the smaller side. There's probably enough room to seat 10 people comfortably. The decor is eclectic and fits in well with the space. There menu is easily summed up by their name. There's milk, toast, and coffee (bar). Okay, that's a bit simplified, each of the items is so much more than their simple names. There are different types of milk (whole, cashew, and coconut). There's also coffee, tea, and house-made soft drinks, and not to mention all kinds of toast, the main attraction. Most of the food items seem to be locally sourced, which I'm a huge fan of even if I'm paying a little more. I picked the option where I could get a Spiffy Toast and a soup. I got the Mushroom & Goat Cheese with a side of their soup of the day. Our lunch items took a little time to make, but the presentation was just beautiful. I really wasn't expecting my meal to be presented so well. The food was not lazily slopped on, and there were a variety of different colors on the plate. The food not only looked awesome, but also tasted awesome. I really enjoyed my toast along with my soup. I definitely recommend this place for lunch or brunch. I would try to get here earlier, or at a non-lunch prime time due to limited seating. read more

Psssst...Real quick, while I have a free 5 minutes to write, let me whisper something sweet in your ear. On my way over to Fritanga I noticed really cool artwork protruding from Milque's front doorway. It basically called out, "Christy, please come in." So I obliged. The space is small & quaint with tons of charter. The exposed brick walls are beautiful and even more so the colorful, decorations from chalk to paintings. They get a lot done in the space they have to work with. My first visit and Amanda was a jewel! Super hospitable, very informative, a sweetie pie. I told her I loved coffee and she informed me that they offer Mississippi Mud's blend, which I enjoy. No-brainer! I'll take a coffee with a splash of almond milk please. Whoa...guess what we actually make our own cashew milk right here, how'd you like to try that? Whaaaat??? Amanda, don't mind if I do. It was light, a dash of sweet in my strong black coffee. If you like more sweet don't worry Milque makes their own syrups in house as well from vanilla to blueberry cardamon they'll flavor you right up. Oh, lest I forget, this is a toast bar. Like toast? Come here. Savory Mushroom (smoked right out back), Goat Cheese Toast. Sweet S'mores Toast for the kiddos. This place has something edible & fun for all ages. Who knows I may try a piece of toast one day but for sure I'll be back for a cup of that Mud. ~Christy read more

Checked out this place for the first time for Sunday brunch. The inside is quite small but there is an outdoor area with plenty of seating. Not sure how accommodating it can be in the colder months. We tried the pumpkin cold brew with coconut and I probably wouldn't try this again. The coconut was a bit overpowering and the brew was not that strong. I enjoyed my entree very much, it was a savory french toast topped with brisket, cheddar, greens, tomato and I added an egg. I thought it was tasty but it took awhile (maybe 30 minutes?) for it to come out even though the place wasn't that busy. This along with the portion size makes me question if the $14 (plus $2 for the egg) price is warranted. My wife thought her sweet entree was too sweet; it had nutella, chocolate sauce and fresh whipped cream. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other savory options, hoping for a bit faster service and better caffeinated drinks next time. read more

I'm sad they got rid of the pick 3 or 5 platter. The toasts are really good, and I love the mixed fruit they do and switch it up with raisins and powdered sugar and sometimes cinnamon and honey. I liked it so much I started to do that for lunch often. The culmination of flavors is really well done, I enjoy it. The only things I can say are the cost for tea cost me somehow $10 extra and it'd be great to have honey or sugar somewhere. The last piece is I'd really think patrons would appreciate good silverware. The space doesn't accommodate many people and having a sturdy fork and good knife to cut toast would make the experience better and less frustrating to cut bites. I'm a fan overall. read more

Cute little place with good vibes and limited indoor seating. The menu changes seasonally, so there's always something new and exciting to try. I got the mushroom toast with truffle gravy.

I've been here twice and both times I loved it! I usually don't like toast, but I think I'm doing it wrong because they make it delicious! My first time I got toast with melty brie with an apricot jam/spread type thing. It was an amazing combination. This time, I got toast with grilled mushrooms and goat cheese. As soon as I bit into it, the savory burst of flavor hit my tongue and I couldn't stop eating until it was all gone! The service is not super fast, but the employees are all very helpful and friendly. Plus the prices are good for the obviously high quality ingredients they use. The space is small, so I recommend you go with no more than 3 other people. But yes, do go and eat their yummy toast!! read more
