Milk Run — Restaurant in London

With the most unique flavours and designs, Milk has been an all-time favourite of mine. With no surprise Milk Run has gone beyond our expectations once again.

Always welcomed by a pleasant and warm team, the service and atmosphere was harmonious as usual. The range of pastries were excellent, my favourite being the peanut caramel and milk chocolate praline. Absolute chef’s kiss.

I ordered an almond croissant and my friend ordered the blueberry danish. Maybe we ordered the wrong items, but there are too many other bakeries to try, and re-visit, before we’ll consider returning to Milk Run.

The almond croissant was flakey and the mouth feel from the frangipane’s texture was a nice surprise. However, the texture didn’t make up for the lack of flavour.

The blueberry danish was nice, but standard. Again, nothing to shout home about.

Redeeming factors: cute indoor set up, and...
