This is one of my favorite brunch locations. They change up their pancake and waffle flavors weekly and sometimes have very unusual, but delicious, combinations .This also goes for their daily soups and salads, which often feature yummy things like goat cheese! Youll want to come early or on a weekday, because it fills up fast. If you are unfortunate enough to arrive when there is a long line, they have a separate cash register for take away orders, which speeds things along. This location is good for vegetarian folks, but could have more low carb or gluten free options.

Its not a large establishment and can feel real cozy on weekends. Menu is not extensive which I appreciate. There is a fair assortment of options to keep me interested and just few enough to facilitate quick decisions. Of course the French toast and the pancakes are fantastic. The huevos rancheros is my favorite item. Its served in a large bowl and is piping hot. Absolutely delicious and the portion size is generous--particularly for a large man. And at $8 its practically a steal for this area. Coffee is standard, nothing to write home about.

Ordering food here can take a while - its not full service, so you have to go up to the counter to order, which leads to a line on busy weekends. Definitely not Ideal. However, I would say its worth the wait. There are just a few brunch places along Division, most of them are bars, so Milk & Honey stands out as a cute, delicious option. Prices are average for a brunch place, $10 for a meal, etc. I want to try out some of their lunch options as well as I expect they have pretty decent sandwiches & possibly some good fall soups.

Good food but confusing concept. Order at the door then sit down? I would rather just sit and get comfortable than have to stand right by the door with it hitting me in the back by other customers walking in. They might want tho reconsider the setup. The servers were nice but there certainly wasnt much time to get acquainted. I also would have tipped better but i only had a second to throw some change in a jar by the order line not even where you pay. It wasnt clear if I was supposed to leave a tip on the table either.

What a wonderful, cute place to get breakfast or lunch on the weekend :) While many reviewers on Yelp complained about the portion sizes, I did not find a problem at all with my normal size wrap. The flavor combos are amazingly well-thought out and delicious! I ordered the wrap with parmesan hummus, eggplant, feta, and pickled red onions and it was perfect! My bf got the avocado, tomato, romaine, and mustard sandwich and it was also great. I also recommend their granola bars as a tasty afternoon treat later on ;)

Ordered the orange brioche French toast and granola pancakes, with sides of bacon and chicken sausage. Had the pumpkin coconut latte and hot chocolate to drink. Bacon tasted like bacon and hot chocolate was good. Everything else was not very special. Gave at least the 3 stars because I saw the young cook busting his behind alone squeezing out orders. Shouldve stayed home and just boiled an egg and had toast and jelly. First and last time at this place. Unsatisfactory breakfast.

Sandwiches are awesome but the breakfast is what had me at Milk & Honey 7 out of 8 weekends this summer...the one weekend I didnt make it was because I was out of town. Their breakfast panini is unbelievable - eggs are nice and fluffy, the tomato is juicy, and unlike other paninis that are pressed in a pool of butter, the Milk & Honey breakfast panini is perfectly pressed. The granola is unreal and if they have the Thai Iced Tea Latte, its definitely worth the $3.50.

GREAT food! The huevos rancheros on the weekends are unbeatable. The thing that keeps me away is the set up of the resturant. Its always busy (I know its in a crazy neighborhood) but you end up waiting in line right next to all of the people eating. Its kind of a hybrid between fast food and sit down, and as far as breakfast goes im not the biggest fan. I know they have their reasons for this, and they could probably defend them, but its just not my preference.

I visited on a Saturday morning the place was very crowded and a bit unorganized. Its a small place and the tables are very close together. A person in a wheelchair could get into the business, but it seems they would have a hard time getting around. Also the bathrooms small as well. The menu offers a variety of sandwiches, salads, and wraps. Specialty coffee and tea are served here as well and the fresh lemonade is refreshing.

This is the perfect affordable breakfast/brunch spot. The portions are hearty and they always have an interesting waffle or pancake flavor with some great coffee. While most of my visits have been for brunch dont overlook their lunch options, their sandwiches are just as good. I recommend getting their early to be seated right away if not be prepared for a wait, nothing too crazy but 30 min isnt out of the question.

Really solid food, but kind of an odd ordering process. If you are there on the weekend you HAVE to try their Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Casserole, definitely one of the best breakfast meals Ive ever had. If you are looking for lunch, Id recommend the crabcake sandwich (also very solid). All things considered, this is a great spot and Im happy to have it in my neighborhood.

The food at brunch is generally really tasty. They have a great outdoor seating area that is dog-friendly and they go out of their way to get your pet some treats or water or whatever; a really nice and classy touch. My one dig on the place is that the portions are pretty small for the price. I am by no means a cheap man but I am a HUNGRY one!

Love it but note to all - MOM and KID friendly. You will get a nice healthy - home like meal, but you will have many pregnant moms and kids ruining your zen approach to "working from home". Especially love the egg dishes and their granola is to dye for. A bit pricey considering you serve yourself, but then again, its in hipsterville.

Yum! Counter service brunch location can get busy, but they work through the line quickly. The simple menu makes it easy to do repeat orders for your favorites - by far the Huevos Rancheros! House-made oatmeal and the teas are outstanding. The also feature specials that change everyday. So, grab your morning paper and get a quick bite!

My absolute favorite brunch spot! The wait times at peak hours usually arent that bad and the food is really cheap in price, and I would gladly pay double what they are charging for this food! Their signature dish, the huevos rancheros, is only available on the weekends, but its the BEST THING EVER! Youd be a fool not to order it!

Milk and Honey is my favorite breakfast place. It has a relaxed vibe with delicious food and coffee. You can order inside and grab a spot either inside or outside on the shaded patio and your food is quickly brought out to you once its freshly prepared. My personal fav is the oatmeal with milk, almonds and blueberrries!

Pros--Im eating a spinach salad right now and it is fresh and flavorful. Counter transaction was very pleasant. Cons--wish there was some silverware brought with my food. Very annoying to get your food and then go..."oh, well let me get up" (esp. considering the price of my beautiful salad). Still give it 5 stars :-)
