Milk & Honey Cafe
1119 Newkirk Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Milk & Honey Cafe is a bright Brooklyn spot that doubles as both a serious breakfast destination and a relaxed meeting space, where the French toast and inventive breakfast plates like the Habibi are nearly as reliable as the welcoming staff. Beyond the coffee, you'll find Halal-certified savory hits like steak sandwiches and flatbreads that elevate it beyond typical cafe fare, making it genuinely worth the quick wait for an unhurried morning or afternoon with friends and family.”

The pizza was delicious, with great flavor and excellent preparation. However, the service was not as good. I asked what their best dish was, and the response was simply pointing at the first thing they saw, without offering a real opinion or recommendation. Even if the place works almost like self service, I expected at least some proper guidance since it was my first time there.
One of the best cafes in NYC! We tried a few different things and were impressed across the board. The steak sandwich and flatbreads are 10/10. Coffees were also good. Everything is Halal.
So my daughter called and ask me out for breakfast and if your daughter is buying why not. She took me to Milk and Honey we waited no more than 3 min. The waiter came very nice young man I forgot his name took our orders. I ordered the Mexican breakfast I forgot the name and forgot to take a picture of the menu my daughter ordered something of cause I forgot that to, ( look I was hungry I was not thinking strait ). My Mexican wrap was ok I was expecting it to come with Salsa but nope none 😩😩 so I just asked for some hot sauce. I also order hot tea which came in a glass bottle and from the look it did not look strong and thats the reason I walked with a tea bag from home, I put it right in that bottle which made it taste so much better. My daughter ate some of the 2 meals she ordered I took her sourdough bread which I felt was missing that sourdough smell that I crave that drives me to learning how to make it at home yeap I love the smell that much and have been trying from last year but it's cool I would get it right one day. Ok so it's an ok place not somewhere I would go again as it's small and the tables are very close like there was a guy sitting next to me that was coughing and I was thinking lord please don't get me sick. There is one toilet that does not have a name on it it was ok the seat was a little lose but ok. Parking can be a challenge and if you use a wheel chair I guess they will remove a chair or 2 to accommodate you. It is nicely decorated and has seating outside I guess in the spring and summer. Which for me would be a big problem with 1 bathroom ( shh am diabetic so at times sugar needs to get out via the bladder) . But hey try the place at lease one time I saw a baby high chair there so parents don't be scared just GO.
I had such a wonderful experience here! The staff was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent service from start to finish. The food was delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I have been to both locations & the atmosphere is amazing as well, with a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay longer. Whether you’re grabbing coffee or sitting down for brunch, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!
Had a lovely brunch at Milk & Honey Café! The French toast was absolutely amazing. We also tried the croissant sandwich, salmon Eggs Benedict, and the Habibi breakfast plate—solid 8/10. The Egyptian egg sandwiches had a bit too much spice for my taste, maybe a 6/10. The atmosphere is great, though! I do wish they had a kids’ menu.
