    The Morning Bowl. I usually love this but I didn't end up eating  it.
    Beth S.

    This location fails consistently. For the price, items here should always be executed well. I did get a Door Dash order, which quality can decline during delivery However, i've ordered both the items I received by delivery before and they were good. I got the Morning Bowl, and it was all liquidy. I also got the sausage and egg biscuit. The biscuit was impossible to eat because it kept falling apart, and it was gummy and sticking to my mouth. Really disappointing for the money I spent. I won't be ordering from here again.

    Crispy Chicken Biscuit

    Milkbread earns their 5-stars just for the brown butter oatmeal crème pie alone! Everything else we've had there is quite tasty as well. When the weather is nice, there is not much we love more than walking to Milkbread with our old hound dog and hanging out at their outdoor tables. I especially love that they preserved the old Dairy Queen building that was quite the landmark for the Plaza Midwood neighborhood when everyone else is literally just bulldozing historical spots for more apartments.

    Our favorite and our pup's favorite coffee shop!! I absolutely love their draft vanilla latte! Willow loves her pup cup!

    First time customer and I ordered through Door Dash! I got a hot dip sandwich which was super yummy, however because it took so long to arrive, the bottom bun was soggy. That wasn't their fault and I would definitely go back and get it fresh in person because it tasted amazing!! The mac and cheese was bland and tasted more like buttered noodles, so wasn't a fan of that. The chocolate chip cookie was actually too salty that I had to toss it. But I did like the chicken sandwich and would go back for that and to try a cinnamon roll!

    Avocado Toast, The Original Sandwich, Fruit Cup

    Milk Bread is Kindred's sister restaurant and the quality is solid, especially when it comes to their sandwiches. That said, the pricing feels high for what you get. My avocado toast tasted fine but it was very average for twelve dollars and did not feel worth the price. I would stop in again if it were the only thing open, but it is not somewhere I go out of my way for.

    The Hot Dip, Latte, Strawberry Matcha

    I avoided Milkbread for years out of pure principle. The old Dairy Queen used to sit on that corner like royalty, and I just wasn't ready to move on. But after finally giving in? Yeah... I've seen the light. I got The Hot Dip chicken sandwich and I will think about it for the rest of my life. Crispy, spicy, crunchy perfection with tangy slaw that made my eyes roll back (in a good way). I also grabbed an iced hazelnut latte and, no exaggeration, it was the bee's knees. Like, sipping-on-a-cloud good. The cashier was genuinely sweet, even offering us water cups without us having to beg or barter: rare behavior these days. And the ambience?? If I squinted and ignored the cars zooming down Plaza, I could've sworn I was lounging outside a chic Parisian café, living my best life. Almost forgot to mention that they also have Pup Cups! Long story short: I came in bitter and left a believer. Milkbread, you won.

    Petite Warm Milkbread Beignets (12ct)
    Denisa W.

    Love the vibe of this place. Their matcha is incredible, and the hot coffee is pretty good. The iced coffee is a bit watery for my taste. There's usually a line during peak hours but you never wait too long, and the staff is friendly. The beignets are freshly made and to die for! Chicken sandwiches are always a win here, too.

    The Original Sandwich

    Milkbread served the best chicken sandwich I've had in a while and without a doubt, the best cinnamon roll I think I've ever had! The chicken was juicy on the inside and fried to perfection on the outside. The bread was fresh. The pickles and lettuce added a crunchy/fresh snap to the bite. What surprised us the most is how much flavor was on this sandwich! The chicken and the pickles had a ton of flavor. We loved the sandwich. The cinnamon roll!! That thing stole the show. We shared it for dessert. So ooey gooey and fresh and delicious! I loved it. The ham and cheese croissant reminded me of the croissants we had in Italy. The street dining experience is fun also. We loved this place so much, I'm taking my sister here this weekend!

    Draft latte
    Cristina R.

    Fried chicken sandwiches and cinnamon rolls on an outdoor patio - the combo I didn't know I needed! Milkbread delivers on quality eats and casual vibes in the heart of Plaza Midwood. We came on a nice day and enjoyed our leisurely lunch at the outdoor tables with views of folks with their babies and dogs. You order & pay with a staff member at the window and wait for your name to be called. We enjoyed a draft latte (which was well blended and felt very caffeinated), OG sandwiches (crispy, moist chicken with briny pickles on soft potato bread), and a cinny roll (served warm with luscious frosting on the side). The menu has both breakfast and lunch items, which makes it a perfect option during daylight hours. Milkbread is a neighborhood staple, and I look forward to hanging out here again!

    The OG sandwich was soggy and the chicken was uneven and the thick parts were incredibly dry. I might have to order something else cuz this sandwich was overrated. And the matcha was weak. With lots of menu items there may be a return visit.

    Whole-ish Salad with hot dipped nuggets

    The seasonal blueberry donut sounded so tasty. Sadly, it did not deliver on flavor. The glaze was bland and the donut itself was stale. Had an eggy smell to it as well. This trip was a miss.

    The Hot Dip - vegetarian with Pimento Cheese
    Inka M.

    Milkbread is magically delicious! This has become my partner's and my favorite spot for breakfast or lunch. The food is consistently tasty, and I really appreciate that they offer vegetarian substitutions--like the veggie hot dip chick'n sandwich. I ordered mine with pimento cheese on a biscuit, and it was so good (though the biscuit did fall apart a bit). The staff is friendly, and the outdoor seating area has a great vibe--perfect for enjoying your meal. The only downside was seeing a male staff member stick his nose in someone's coffee cup, presumably to check the aroma. It came off a little disturbing. Overall, I'd give Milkbread a solid 9/10. Just a small suggestion: have staff regularly wipe down the dining areas to keep things consistently clean.

    I enjoyed my first visit to Milkbread. It is a cute little eatery and is outside dining only. Staff were very friendly. My friend loves their sweets so she got a few different things. I loved the homemade pickles.

    Too expensive for what you get. Chicken sandwich is small and just ok. Don't go here unless you want to leave feeling disappointed.

    Honestly incredibly mid. Pretty expensive for no sides and no drinks. Sandwiches were lukewarm, cinnamon rolls were cold.

    A thick biscuit with a cold piece of cheese. The chicken was crispy and flavorful but nothing spectacular.

Last year, I had a sandwich in Spain that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. I've tried several places around Charlotte looking for something similar, but nothing came close. I reached out to The Culture Shop to see if they'd be willing to recreate it, and not only did they say yes, they turned it into their weekly special using local honey, locally sourced peppers, and local bread. The result completely exceeded my expectations. It captured everything I loved about the original while adding its own Charlotte twist. It was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had. Beyond the food, the team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and excited about what they do. The shop itself is worth browsing too, with a menu full of creative sandwiches and delicious options, plus a thoughtfully curated selection of pantry items and specialty foods. It's rare to find a business that's this passionate, creative, and willing to go the extra mile for a customer. I'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend The Culture Shop enough!

I typically visit for brunch, and highly recommend the Shakshuka - it's my to-go almost every time I visit.

Pre-renovation, they were hosting monthly wine tastings which I attended monthly! While these have not been brought back yet, my fingers are tightly crossed these go back on the calendar soon!

My order accidentally had chorizo in it and they immediately took it back, apologized and made a fresh vegetarian one. It's always great to see the nice gentleman at the front who takes orders, he's so friendly! The ambiance is the only thing that could take this spot to the next level! Currently on bad weather days the inside seating is limited and feels cramped with large parties. For the most part, sitting outside is the way to go on the picnic tables! There is a classic cozy feel to the smaller space!
