Milky's Cloud Room — Restaurant in Toronto

Food: 3 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 3 Stars Overall: 3.5 Stars

I had the opportunity to visit Milky's Cloud Room initially during their grand opening in 2021 and recently made a return visit to see how things have evolved.

The coffee here is decent. It meets the standard expectations but doesn't particularly stand out in terms of flavour or presentation. It's a reliable choice for a quick caffeine fix but doesn't offer anything extraordinary that would set it apart from other coffee spots in the area.

The atmosphere, on the other hand, is quite delightful. The space is thoughtfully designed, offering a cozy and welcoming environment that makes it a pleasant place to relax or catch up with friends. The decor is modern yet comfortable, creating a space that feels both trendy and inviting.

One of the highlights of my visit was the staff. They were friendly and attentive, ensuring that customers felt welcome and well taken care of. Their positive attitude and willingness to assist definitely added a pleasant touch to the overall experience.

However, despite these positives, I did notice that the quality has remained largely unchanged since my first visit. While consistency is important, I believe there is room for innovation and improvement.

In conclusion, Milky's Cloud Room is a reliable spot for a casual coffee break. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff are genuinely nice, but there's potential for more. For a coffee shop that has been around for a few years, introducing new and exciting elements could help them stand out in the competitive coffee...

Milky’s is an aesthetically pleasing (to the eyes and tastebuds) addition to Stackt Market!

The clean and calming interior is visually stunning, and makes for a very pleasant dine-in experience. I appreciate immensely that dogs are also welcome inside. The ability to walk through Milky’s to get to the inner part of the market is also well appreciated.

In regards to coffee, the baristas here know what they’re doing. I’ve never had a bad drink. They also have very intriguing and innovative specials. Their cold brew, and variations, are some of my favourites in the city.

My one big complaint is the lack of a consistent gluten free option in regards to treats. There was apparently a gluten free brownie offered, but when I inquired, the barista told me “I think it’s gluten free, I’m not sure, I’d have to check, but I don’t know who I’d contact to be honest.” In 2024, with the abundance of choices available for good gluten free options, it is a deliberate choice to exclude an entire group of potential consumers. In a “modern” establishment like Stackt, as well, it is a bit of a letdown. However, I still go as I consider the coffee good.

Overall, Milky’s is a beautiful café that is a joy to sit in while catching up with a friends (or catching up with your thoughts). It’s a welcome addition to Stackt, and I really find it a...

Beautiful space, design-wise. Friendly staff. Can only speak to coffee / espresso - haven’t tried pastries / food.

first time I went they had option for single-origin espresso - and every time since they are ‘out’ and have a mediocre blend of beans as their stock espresso.

First time they were ‘out’ it was mid-afternoon - and then next time I asked - the first barista was confused and other barista had to fetch the beans from under counter to make shot which was lovely.

Next pair of times I went first thing in AM and they had ‘run out’.

That’s too many times when De Mello is nearby or Fahrenheit with options for both a blend and a single-origin. Wish it was consistent to frequent for quality coffee - I think it’s too many failed times now for middle of the road beans in a nice decor that it’s better to...
