    The mushroom toast with (perfectly) poached egg is delicious. I like that they keep things very light but still flavorful.

    Staff Pick! Kathy (Curatorial): The old Michelin rated Garden Cafe space closed this year and the space has been transformed into a beautiful airy cafe with breakfast foods and sandwiches.

    Say goodbye to bland & boring toast. The poached egg, avocado, & multigrain bread that make up Milk Bar's Avocado Toast is a must.

    Good coffee, good food, a little pricey. Their croissants are ok, but I like the croissants at Joyce Bakery up the street much better.
