A nice place to stop for a meal after doing some
furniture shopping in Kramerville. Located below Katy's Palace.

I highly recommend the flat breads and the cheesecake. Service is sometimes lacking and there is lots of parking.

Small cafe vibe. Great for a lunch pit stop during the work week. Easy going, casual setting and freshly made tasty options on the menu. Really enjoy the flat breads and the chicken pregos.

Such a sweet, out of the way little cafe. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrive at the Milk Bar because of the decor and atmosphere as it is very quirky and artsy!! My favourite shop is situated at the same venue and therefore makes for an exciting visit.
It was my first time visiting this cafe and I must say the fact that it is outside makes for a better experience as it is breezy to the point of comfort and not too cold. My friend and I both had sandwiches, they were delightful and delicious, packed full of flavour! The drinks were good as well, the wine and coffee was just what I needed.
The only downside, which for me is often the most important part, was the service; we were often forgotten about in the corner and our waiter forgot our final drinks order.
Other than that hiccup we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back soon!!

What a find. My wife has know the Valentine's for many years but this was our first visit to Amatuli and the Milk Bar. Great flat bread with sliced steak covered with caramelised onion, mozzarella rocket and peri peri sauce. Breakfast croissant was also a hit. All washed down with a pint of M2 Mozambican beer.

What a great foodie find

The food is super yummy. We were there for brunch so we decided to get a croissant, which could be breakfast, and we got a flatbread. Both were great for sharing and a good portion size in our opinion, and they are really good value for money.

The atmosphere is absolutely redonk. Milk Bar is basically the entrance to an African art store. It is inside and outside at the same time with nature and urban elements all around you. They played music by West Nkosi, if you don't know who he is just Google 'West Nkosi Dubaduba'. Look at the photos and listen to the song and you will be transported there. Add food, drinks and good company to this atmosphere and you have a fantastic place.

The service wasn't the best but it wasn't a place where you would expect grand service from professional waiters. It felt more like a help yourself kind of place anyway.

The only issue we had was that the whole place is open for smoking so everyone around us were smoking while we ate and that is something we don't like.

Milk Bar gets Two Tasty Tummies' stamp of approval

Really good for a quick bite. Coffee is amazing and service attentive. Pastries are amazing. The mint lemonade thing is worth a try too. Decor is dope.

Great stop for a quick midday lunch.
Great reminder that one of the first stores of the chain is often the best. When one is stressing about buying home decor . This is a great stop to relax

A true hidden gem next to Katy's Bar - restaurant is small but very tropical and makes you feel you could be in the East...food is fresh and delicious and coffee is strong but flavorsome. #KevFabFood had the breakfast platter (sharing for 2) - it was very good...but order one for yourself as for 2 it's more of a snack portion. The carrot cake and lemon meringue are also a must try! Fab and unique gem for sure!

You park on the awkwardly angled pavement in the heart of the Kramerville decor zone. It's treeless and dry. You walk into this shed-like space. It feels like you've landed in Marrakesh (which I've never visited) or somewhere equally exotic. Went for breakfast after a Sunday morning run. Had the flat bread with hummus, peppers and mushrooms. Was absolutely delicious! The cappuccino was good too.

First the courtyard: you get in an amazing atmosphere and give you the chance to shed some of the city stress. Second the food: great selection and taste fresh. Last the coffee and the bill: both reasonable. Then on to shopping at Amatuli. How I miss my lunches at the Milk bar !
