Food pretty good, coffee quite drinkable, prices not unreasonable, staff snooty beyond all comparison. Activewear a must, particularly for females.

Super impressed with yet another quality café opening on my side of the bridge. Right in the main strip of Milford and popular with the locals right from the get go. All their signature loaves for taking home and a tempting array of sweet things to choose from. This Bread and Butter Bakery has that same quirky styling, with oversized eggbeater light shades and an eclectic wall of baking pans, artfully arranged. There’s lots of seating inside and a few spots on the footpath outside. I was tempted by the individual beetroot and chocolate cakes in the cabinet, but opted for a menu item instead, settling on the fish tacos. They were freshly prepared and presented in soft homemade tortillas. They were good, but maybe a little pricey at $ 18.50.

Milford, look at you! Yet another city-side eatery has opened up shop on the Shore and I couldn’t be more excited. Bread & Butter are well-known for their authentic European-style breads and drool-worthy cabinet goodies but they also have a full breakfast and lunch menu. I went recently for lunch and was impressed with the diversity, from French toast to salad to fish tacos! I opted for their quinoa and haloumi salad and added chicken. It arrived prompty and was a generous serving. No skimping on the haloumi — BIG tick! As for the rest of the salad it was lovely and fresh but there wasn’t much quinoa. I also wish they’d roasted the beetroot rather than boiled it but really, these are minor issues. The service was friendly and efficient, despite how busy they were. It’s a big space and I think they’re nailing it considering they just opened. Looking forward to heading back and sinking my teeth into some of their baked delights!
