Only stopped in for zert and tried the beignets- they were good! They would be better with some kind of fruit compote like strawberry raspberry or blueberry to balance the density of the beignets! But aside from that they were good! Near downtown Davidson so fairly walkable with lots interesting shops nearby! They have a quaint lil patio option too! There were a fair amount of people eating dinner there so might give that try next time. The salads looked fresh and they have a chicken sammy that could be interesting! Staff were pleasant and service was fast! read more

milkbread - Petite Warm Milkbread Beignets (12ct) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

9/10 I dropped by to pick up some breakfast treats after an appointment in the area. From a customer service perspective no one was smiling or warm - very neutral. The donut flavors were plain, chocolate, and meyer lemon ( all on top of same standard glazed donuts). These are ready right away. I ordered a half dozen, its a bit cheaper than individuals. They were good. I also ordered 2 plain and one chicken biscuit. They were absolutely huge, and quite delicious. The butter flavor really comes through. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and it wasn't very good. The coffee did not have a good crema, it seemed like the milk was just poured in and the portion was tiny. I would go back for the biscuits. read more

There are not a ton of options in Davidson for lunch so I end up at milk bread pretty often. I keep it simple - chicken tenders, fries, and sometimes I'll grab a cinnamon roll. Service is always slow but the staff is friendly. The restaurant is usually very busy and loud...don't plan to have a quiet work meeting here. The food is okay but the fries are the best! read more

The food was great, and the people are very friendly. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

Got a breakfast to go here this morning and enjoyed a nice cappuccino and chicken biscuit sandwich. Service was good, quick, got me into work on time (sadly, ha!). Coffee was piping hot and strong, and the chicken biscuit was huge. Fresh, warm, buttery, flaky biscuit with a thick cut of fried chicken. I only ate half for breakfast. Would definitely stay to dine in sometime too, but great to-go as well! @azfitfoodfun read more

I DREAM about this salad. This may be the best Green Goddess salad I've ever had. I love adding the nuggets too. And let's talk about the oatmeal cream pie--to die for. Not pictured is the Chocolate Coconut Caramel Latte I also ordered. It was fantastic. I love when a place just makes GOOD FOOD. Staff is always so friendly, and the inside of the restaurant is super cute. Looks like a great study or work spot too. read more

I'm saddened to have to update my review to only 1 star. The only thing I order here is their chicken sandwiches, and at some point they switched from using big juicy chicken breasts, to 3 little tenders on their sandwiches. This is such a horrible decision. The pictures for both of their chicken sandwiches on the ordering apps still feature big chicken breasts. It's deceptive and if they're proud of this decision why not update the images? Also I ordered a seasonal donut because the picture was of a cake donut - I'm not a fan of their yeast donuts at all. But lo and behold a yeast donut showed up. So not only are they using deceptive images for their chicken sandwiches, they're also using deceptive images for their seasonal donut. read more

I'm ready to go back to this place! I came in for lunch and got my grain bowl to-go. I'm going to dine in next time. The restaurant is clean with an upbeat vibe. The sport a sanitation grade of 98.5. The employees were friendly and helpful. They had to explain the features of several dishes to me to make my choice. The food was delicious. The crisp rice in the grain bowl mixed with the almond romesco was amazing. It was fresh and clean. The "jammy egg" was also surprisingly tasty. The only downside was that they didn't accept cash as a payment option. The food was great. I'm ready for more. read more

I ordered the wrap through Uber Eats and it was so good! Though I wish they used cauliflower bites instead of plant based chicken (which more than likely has soy) . My order arrived promptly. Since the food was so good, a friend and I went in person to check the place out. The beignets were amazing and so was everything else. Perfect ambience to work or have lunch with friends. read more

Loved the iced oat milk vanilla latte! I also had the chicken biscuit and got the hot dip on the side. The biscuit was super flaky and buttery! It was really good. The chicken itself was really bland. I'm glad I got the hot sauce for it. The sauce was nice and spicy and flavorful! Overall, I love the atmosphere of the place and I love that it has so much seating as well! Service was also really great! read more

I was in here a few weeks ago. Chicken Sandwich and Big Freaking Cookie were superb! For service, they're very serious but great at their jobs. I have been in about 100 restaurants in the Lake Norman area and get along well with everyone--I'm on the gregarious and talkative side. Strange vibe here though. Oh well. Staff is still cool in my book and the food is better than I thought. Recommended. read more

When I say milk bread will not disappoint, they always come through. They provide great customer service.

I finally made it, been on my list a couple of months! Before I get into the food I have to compliment the incredible service I received from Deven immediately walking in the door. Being my first time and knowing that I wanted to try several items but that I couldn't try everything (it was just me so I couldn't share) Deven was so helpful and patient and kind, just wonderful! So hard to narrow down what to eat but I landed on the crispy cauliflower, the hot dip w/pimento cheese, a red velvet milkbread donut (seasonal flavor), a biscuit, a sourdough bagel, an everything bagel, and the milkbread mini cinnies with cream cheese frosting. I got everything to go and the order was well packed and accurate. The crispy cauliflower was eaten while driving and even packed up to go, held its crispiness. It was crispy and tender and good enough to eat plain or dip. Normally if I start with a fried appetizer, it spoils my appetite because it's so heavy and oily, I ate the entire order of crispy cauliflower and it wasn't heavy or overly filling. A great starter which was perfect because I had the chicken sandwich to try next. And oh my word, so so good! The hot dip is buttermilk brined chicken with a little spice but served with their citrusy slaw and their famous pickles, it makes the perfect crunch and bite. I also added pimento cheese because why wouldn't I, and it was awesome. That sandwich was just as good as it looks! I have to be honest, the donuts aren't the prettiest and because of the way it looked, I wasn't expecting to be as impressed but a soft, fluffy, springy but light milkbread donut just can't miss. Next I tried the mini cinnies. Which came with the cream cheese frosting on the side because it was a to go order. The secret to their cinnamon rolls isn't just the dough, it's the glaze which is a thick caramelized cinnamon, brown butter "sauce". If you've ever been disappointed in the level of cinnamon in a cinnamon bun, this glaze ensures that you never feel that way here. Honestly, I ate one without the frosting and one with and I loved both. Ooey gooey and bite sized, yum! Saved the bagels and biscuit for breakfast and even being a day "old" the bagels still had a really good chew and the texture of quality ingredients. Biscuit was light, fluffy and flaky in the right ways. Some items were sold out by the time I stopped in so it's a great excuse to go back. I def want to try some of the bowls and toasts next along with the beignets and brown butter oatmeal cream pie. The restaurant itself is open and bright, with tables or bar style seating, counter service and nice variety of fun coffee drinks, sodas, wine and beer. Tables outside for a nice day and appears to be dog friendly as well. A great spot for a James beard nominated chef's take on fast casual food. Love! read more

My friend and I went for lunch. I had the mini chicken tender slider with fries and coffee. The coffee was great. The slider had ONE small overcooked chicken nugget and enough mayo to make a pound of potato salad. The one thin pickle slice was the best part of the $8 sandwich. Fries were cold. My friend had a wrap. Again way too much mayo, so much that the filling slid out of the wrap. The citrus slaw was meh. #neveragain. read more

I have been looking forward to trying Milkbread for pastries and matcha but they have so much more I didn't get to try. The strawberry matcha was pretty good. I also tried the cinnamon roll which was very tiny and not fluffy. I thought if you order one cinnamon roll you get the regular size but I'm pretty sure I was given the mini that comes with a pack of 8 but by the time I checked wasn't worth turning around to find out. I also tried the seasonal donut which was just not my cup of tea flavor wise and the texture was slightly oily. The pastries were not a hit for me and the service was too slow on this particular day although the barista was kind! Would go back for matcha though on a slower day. Very spacious at this location which was a plus as well. read more

Grain Bowl (4/5): I LOVED the crispy rice in this bowl. Such a good crunch. The egg was also perfectly cooked. I added chicken bites as an upgrade, and they were nice and crunchy as well, but they were a bit too salty and tasted too strongly of soy sauce (I think?). There was also a bit more ginger flavor in the bowl than I prefer. Nice option for something a little lighter and more fresh.  Petite Beignets (3/5): Lots of powdered sugar on these. The dough was just ok though. MUCH better warm than after they've sat for awhile.  RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this read more

milkbread - Grain Bowl with Chicken Bites - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

I wanted this place to be good so badly because I love the menu. The last few times I have tried take out it's been a disappointment. The first time I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. All of the chicken was in one half of the wrap and the other half had all the pimento cheese and pickles. I had to dump It into a bowl for it to be edible. The side of crinkle Fries (my favorite ) were over cooked and hard. Tried Milkbread take out again and ordered the beet salad and fried cauliflower. The beet salad was missing a the nut crunch and the cauliflower was dripping in oil. The to go container had standing oil in it and the cauliflower was soaked. The food sounds so good but the quality is just not there. Their apple cider donuts are fantastic though! We will return for those. read more

The chicken sandwich is now chicken tenders on a bun which we were not even informed. Agree with the prior review that they have kept the photo of the chicken sandwich which is misleading. Unfortunately service is still poor. I used to work at a restaurant as a server so it's disheartening. read more

For the longest time I have held the belief that Popeyes ultimately emerged victorious in the Chicken Sandwich Wars. I had, up until that part of my life, never had a chicken sandwich I enjoyed more than Popeyes. That was, until, my taste buds feasted upon the glory that is the Milkbread chicken sandwich. When you bite into the original chicken sandwich, you initially feel the soft bread followed by the crispiest, most satisfying, glorious crunch of the chicken. The grandfather pickle, pickled just right, is the cherry on top to this heaven-in-a-bun. They usually play fantastic bops on the speakers and seating is plentiful, despite the busy rushes during peak hours. On top of this, the service is always the friendliest. Recommend to all coming to the area! 10 out of 10! read more

First time at this location and I was pleased to see how late they were open on a weekday. This is in such a cute and trendy area of Davidson, very walkable with other shops nearby. I ordered on the kiosk, which was very convenient and easy. I got The Little G, hot dip style. It was a small piece of chicken as expected, but the meat could have been pounded thinner to make it easier to consume. With each bite my sandwich fell apart, making eating it a lot messier than expected. Taste was good though and I loved the pickles. I also ordered a warm spice latte with almond milk and 1/2 syrup. While I loved the flavor, even with 1/2 the amount of syrup it was too sweet for my taste. I drank it though and would consider it in the future with no syrup. read more

I stopped by for a little brunch with my two small kids, (five and six). The space is really nice & conveniently located. It wasn't crowded. We sat outside. Atmosphere is great. The menu was a little heavier than I had hoped. I guess I should've known from the name, but I was hoping for more protein options. We came for the cinnamon rolls. I've heard they were great. But there was so much sauce on them, we couldn't even eat them. Even my kids said they were too sweet and couldn't eat them. That part was a bummer. Maybe we just ordered bad. read more

Walked in. Stood/sat for exactly 10 minutes. 3 employees glanced at me as they walked by. No words spoken. Left.

I hate to leave a negative review because this place has so much potential. I even came back a second time thinking maybe my first visit was just bad luck. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Both times, the chicken was extremely tough and chewy. So bad I couldn't even take a proper bite. For a meal that cost $17.34 for chicken, fries, and a drink, I shouldn't have to sit here picking chicken out of my teeth because it's so stringy and stuck. The flavor and concept are good, but the quality of the chicken itself really needs to be improved. If ownership invests in better chicken, this place could easily be great read more

I was so disappointed today. I came in around 2pm on my way home from work. I didn't have breakfast so I was pretty hungry by the time I arrived. I asked for chicken bites and fries to go. The girl taking my order was indifferent and kind of rude. I asked for the chicken bites to be extra crispy and she said they only "come one way" which is crap - they can be done extra crispy. I have ordered them that way before at this same location with no issue. She knew my order was "to go" but she just let me sit there waiting for 15 minutes as my order sat on the "to go rack" before another girl realized it and gave it to me. By the time I got home everything was cold and soggy. I probably won't go back again. The rude girl knew I was sitting there waiting but never checked to see when my order was up so I could have hot food. The lack of customer service is appalling. read more

I order the OG every time. When you get a good cut of chicken, its incredible. problem is that you never know what you are going to get. I about broke a tooth on today's sammy. Wish there was an option to pay an extra buck or two for the best cut every time. read more

I got the jammy sandwhich. My egg was cold like they just took it out of the fridge and slapped it on the biscuit. The biscuit is extremely crumbly and dry. I don't know how any one can eat this like a Sandwhich, I can't even eat it with a fork it just falls apart. read more

Always solid. Just great food. Chicken wrap is excellent. Honestly everything I've had is great.

Cute place! Went for brunch and everyone enjoyed it. Doesn't have a ton of big tables, so if you're with a large party you may need to combine tables or break up your group. I got the grain bowl. It was good, but not amazing. The crunchy rice was delicious. It is a good option if you want a healthy, filling meal read more

One of my favorite takeout places at the lake. Whether it's the chicken sandwich, chicken bites, crispy cauliflower, or grain bowl, I'm happy with any of it. I am usually one of those people who order the same thing from the same place but not at milkbread. I like trying all there new items, because I haven't had a bad meal yet. When it comes to the desserts, I like the cinny roll best or like snagging a seasonal donut. read more

Joe and Katy Kindred have done it again with Milkbread. This cafe is serving some awesome dishes. During our visit right after opening weekend we were lucky to get a table. The busy cafe was packed at lunch time. We ordered the Original Chicken Sandwich, the Hot Dip, the Creamy Mac N Cheese, Crispy Cauliflower, Grandfather's Pickles and a mixed dozen of Milkbread Donuts. Everything we ordered was delicious. I enjoyed the Hot Dip chicken sandwich. The spice wasn't too spicy and I put ranch on top. The Crispy Cauliflower was like eating a crispy boneless wing. They are full of flavor. Now the donuts are a dream. They don't compare to any other donut I've ever had and I've had a good bit of donuts in my time. The donuts are covered in a caramel type glaze and has a distinct cinnamon flavor. They continually make the donuts throughout the day and you can't purchase them until they are actually ready. I love this but it also made me anxious because they run out quickly. I can't wait til they bring Milkbread to Charlotte but I know I will be back to this location soon.

I've been excited to go to milkbread because I love the milk bread at Kindred! I wish they actually sold that here with the side of butter...drool. I had already eaten lunch so I just got a couple donuts to take home. The donuts are made using the milk bread dough, so they are nice and chewy, definitely denser than a Krispy Kreme donut. I enjoyed the flavor of the donuts but the glaze had basically melted off my glazed donut, which was pretty disappointing. It just tasted like bread. The chocolate on the chocolate covered donut was a nice, dark chocolate (as opposed to milk chocolate). Out of the two, this one was the winner. I will be back to try the chicken sandwich! read more

Went back today & got the hot chicken sandwich & the chocolate milkbread doughnut. I've now found "my order." The dip on the chicken has just the right amount of heat! I was able to eat it & not sweat or feel like my mouth was going to spit fire. The coleslaw was perfect & the potato roll was soft. So much yumminess. The chocolate was sweet & the doughnut was so soft. These doughnuts are amazing. Quick & easy order & fast pick up. read more
