Milk Bar By Cafeish

Sydney Writers Festival in Carriageworks, great times. Another chance to try Milk Bar. Corn chips on a burger should be a staple haha. It was such a delight to be munching on an old school burger with that delish beef patty doing its thing. Not just for looks, Milk Bar delivers the goods. Also the best fat chips ever

Removed 1 x beef from this, thought 2 with the fried chicken might’ve been a bit much. I enjoyed it but could’ve been better. Beef had a lovely char on it, covered with dripping melted American cheese. Nice fat piece of fried chicken, served piping hot. Bacon was crisp. Apart from that, definitely needed some pickles or jalapeños, and there was alooot of the BBQ sauce which because a little overpowering as it was quite sweet. Mac n cheese loaded fries were delicious as were the popcorn chicken bites, violet crumble shake, and donuts.

What a shame. We had such high hopes for this burger and had been dying to check out Milk Bar for ages - their Insta game has always been on point, but this food was just not up to par. The smashed beef patty was sadly dry and lacking flavour. The sticky maple rainbow beef was a little crispy but chewy, and overpoweringly sweet. Also, the bun was nothing special, soft but a tad dry. Whilst there was creaminess from the aioli and slaw, there was no taste of either the bulgogi or kimchi to be found. This made the burger lack the necessary spice/heat to balance the almost sickly sweet maple flavour. The crispy onion and lettuce were also MIA, again lost to the overpowering maple flavour. Unfortunately, it was a burger of one flavour profile which significantly lacked any balance or texture. Onto the chips. Whilst they were super crispy, they were lacking any potato in the middle and were very oily, some even floppy. However, the aioli with the chips was an unexpected delight - free of charge and delicious! Fortunately, the service was very friendly. We were advised that they were only doing Take Away orders as they were finishing up their lunch service, but then they kindly suggested that we sit at one of their outside tables so we could enjoy the meal fresh whilst they closed up.

$5 cheeeeeseburgër day was splurged at Milkbar by cafeish in Redfern Top taste I ordered 2, they looked ace! Sauce was zingy & the BITE & taste both got better as the burger was demolished ..& The fries 🍟 where top notch 🙌 I’m coming back ThankYou 🌟 TBC 🍔 🌟 🍔🌟🍔🌟🍔🌟🍔🌟

Okay THIS time they will cross the line. They got away with it the last zillion novel creations and are at their best going full boyle but cheesmores?! Double beef & cheese Onion straws & bacon Toasted Marshmallow Special & cheese sauces Added peanut butter And so it proved. Marshmallow tended to dominate rather than contribute to a whole. Perhaps as fluffernutter spread it could succeed. Otherwise it was a pretty standard double cheeseburger, lifted by special sauce with a great tang that puts it higher than most burger sauces. Far from a train wreck today. The onion rings were as great as ever. Best of all the shake wasn’t so sweet that it needed vinegar for balance.

Average.
