We had turmeric late and chocolate brownie and it was very nice, service was also very good. This place allows mostly to consume outside as inside there is very limited space but we sat outside as the weather permitted.

I much preferred this branch of The Milkman! The staff here were so much friendlier and welcoming, which made a big difference to the whole experience. Great atmosphere and lovely service that really makes you want to come back. Even though I’ve tried the drinks before and found them average, the warmth of the team here completely won me over. I’ll definitely keep returning to this branch!
