    Milkbar is a truly superb coffeeshop in one of my fav parts of town.Three cheers for Milkbar! Lovely espresso beverages and yummy breakfast options make it a great addition to the Soho's coffee-scene❤

    Nice coffee (Square Mile blend) aside, the scowling baristas here are always miserable. Lighten up a bit, else we take our custom elsewhere - lord knows there are plenty of good coffee shops in Soho.

    #foodie #bondia First time here. The staff look happy and enjoying the time. That's good. The presentation of the products is good. I'll be here for second time.

    Baristas that know what they're doing. Granola packed with flavour. An atmosphere suitable for catchups, meetings or tapping away at the laptop (with wifi you can leech from next door).

    This place is deeply unorthodox, and good fun. Lots of banter with the baristas, and some very good coffee. Don't have Anzacs, though.

    Unlike the hustle of regular chain coffee shops, this quaint cafe’s relaxed atmosphere is perfect for taking a break or getting a quick breakfast before heading off to work.

    6 January: Milkbar is a stylish little cafe specialising in teas, coffees and cakes, served in attractive surroundings and vintage teacups. It is a haven from the hustle and bustle outside.

    Pssst...it's the favourite coffee shop of FourSquare, whose new London office is nearby. Hang about long enough, and you might hear some gossip.

    Flat white, long black, short blue, rugged brown, doesn't matter as long as it comes with a TOASTED BANANA BREAD ... Not only is it tasty but also spiritually uplifting ... A MUST

    Knowledgeable barista who was able to answer some questions about the origins of the coffee and why the espresso goes better with milk than solo.

    Pretty decent flat white. Nice latte art, but pretty strongly roasted espresso blend.

    Fabulous coffee. Possibly the best in london. Try their other place flat out white too.

    Cool bar good music and great flat white. It feels like being in east London rather than Soho.

    Great coffee, southern hemisphere talents schools London on coffee here and at Flat White. Try toasted Turkish bread with Vegemite for a true antipodean treat.

    Grab a coffee and take a seat on a bench out the front. Excellent way to soak up the atmosphere of Soho on a Saturday morning.

    One of those generic Soho coffee shops with hangover staff and semi-decent coffee. But that's exactly why we like Soho, isn't it?

    Flat whites par excellence! And much more chilled out and nice to sit in than their bustling sister cafe, Flat White.

    A bit dark however Milk Bar has a good feel; laid back, simple and good coffee. It is situated in Soho relatively close to Flat White.

    Love the antipodean style coffee. Little sister to Flat White (Berwick Street). Great coffee - never bitter or burnt and no boiled milk! The hot chocs are a treat too.

    If there's room inside, grab a coffee and sit down for 10 mins. Always busy, so grab a seat if you can
