Milk Bar Brooklyn

Milk Bar Brooklyn is not to be confused with David Chang's new sweet tooth: Momofuku Bakery and Milk Bar. Milk Bar Brooklyn is a corner storefront located in Prospect Heights; a neighborhood that has been overshadowed by the partiality of neighboring Park Slope. An Australian inspired cafe-eatery where you can order to-go or dine-in: serving caffe lattes, panini all day for lunch; brunch and selected days for dinner. Very unlikely can Milk Bar put Prospect Heights in the food map. But Milk Bar has its own interpretation on what it wants to be and how it fits uniquely in the less-chartered neighborhood.

The brunch menu is simple and straightforward: toasted artisan countryside sourdoughs with poached eggs; fruit granola parfait; ciabatta sandwiches; fresh salad; over-the-counter pastries and cafe varieties. Very practical and basic--nothing on the brunch menu requires intense cooking over the stove top--at least not for Brunch. Think of Milk Bar as a hybrid of a cafe and restaurant; offering sit down service as you are sipping on a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and enjoying the morning paper.

Unlike many brunch places, the cafe opens modestly at 9am to accommodate weekend early birds.
