MILK Part 2

MILK also has a large selection of breakfast items. They only serve brunch on the weekends, and they open too late for me to stop there before work on the weekdays (9am), but I do tend to stop there before going to work on Sunday mornings.

I've tried the Blueberry muffin, the Chocolate muffin, the Bacon and Cheddar Scone, and both the plain and chocolate croissants. The Blueberry muffin is fully of fresh blueberries - it's clear these are baked fresh daily and the huge portions of blueberries in the muffin give it a wonderful fruit flavor. For the same reason I disliked the chocolate muffin, although if you're a chocolate freak it would be a good thing. From my perspective, it was just a bit too sweet for breakfast. The Bacon and Cheddar scone is by far my favorite. It is quite savory, with bits of fresh bacon and green onions strewn throughout and a rich cheddary flavor. I'd highly recommend that as a breakfast treat (goes great with their iced coffee).

I'd also add that I'm guilty of not trying many things at MILK - my favorite has to be their Media Noche sandwich, a Cuban style roast pork and ham sandwiches. I can't say enough good things about it. As their soups change daily, you never know what you're going to get. Part of what's so great about MILK is the fact that they use fresh ingredients based on what's currently available, and their soups, like the salad Carrie described, certainly reflect that. My favorite soup I've had was the Pea and Lentil soup. It was a cross between split pea and lentil soup, with a touch of yogurt (probably doesn't sound appealing, but you'd have to trust me on this one) and bits of ham. Magnificent!

Finally, I'm guilty of not trying enough desserts at MILK. They make this awesome handmade ice cream bars that are difficult to take my attention from. I'd add here, that they also make flavors of ice cream you won't necessarily find elsewhere - Blueberry and Thai Iced Tea come to mind, but I know I've seen other unique offerings. I'd also recommend the cookies, but the real appeal of MILK's desserts are the variations of dessert you can get which include their ice cream, so I'm not sure I'd recommend getting a cookie in lieu of ice cream.
