I visit this cafe daily.. very nice burger and coffee but you guys should really work on consistency. I have got burnt hash browns in my roll. And went to get some water , glasses were smelly with soaps. I hope you guys will take care of it.

Ordered on uber eats, well packaged, delicious soy flat white, vegan burger and chips. Would have been 5 stars if the chips came fresher and hotter

Down town milk bar had a great atmosphere, people of all age and lots of laughs, perfect out door seating in the sun. Food was great but the service was amazing very polite waiters and very quick service, and the milkshakes and smoothies were in the big cups!!

Not bad. Food was average (tasted fine mostly; just lack the “look”). Added one extra star for the price and good staff.

actually these guys do a good coffee (and better value than many competitors) and as a place to sit in the morning with the sun on you it’s nice. Staff very friendly too, i mistakenly ordered the wrong coffee and they replaced it without charge. I like this place, relaxed and a bit old school.

Friendly gentleman serving, food tasted good without the wow factor in presentation, kinda old school - good price and good coffee.

Craving for mushrooms soup been a while and hard to found for the delicious creamy soup but here is the best place for having your breakfast and chit chat. Down town soup of the day with mushrooms soup is perfectly make my day up. Nice breakfast with lots of options, great environment for morning coffee and sitting under warm heater.
