Entry way |
Milk & Honey is a specialty bakery inside
what was once a private home so it is easy to drive right past them and not realize they are in business. They do not have a vast array of baked goods
to just drop by and pick up but they did have french
macaroons in various flavors ($2 each), two types of cake balls, slices of red velvet cake and
apple tarts for individual sale in their cases. Two ready-made cakes were also
available for purchase.

Bakery case |
A friend and I visited them for the mid-day meal recently. They serve light lunches and a brunch on Saturday. The dining area is
very small, about 20 seats. The service is run with only two people
as far as I could tell, so it is not a quick place to grab a bite. They have a limited menu and the
prices are on the high side...as is to be expected for a "ladies who lunch" type of establishment.

Spinach and cheese quiche |
I had a spinach and cheese quiche and some
bacon cheddar croquettes as an appetizer. The spinach in the quiche tasted a bit gritty
as though it had been put the egg mixture raw instead of sauteed. The cheese in the quiche was high quality but the portion at
$5.75 was small and not served with any type of side unless you get the meal option that included a drink and side but increased the price even more. It had a rubbery consistency rather than being creamy.

Bacon cheddar croquettes |
The bacon
in the croquettes was thick cut and could have been a bit more cooked but the cheese in them was excellent. I am not sure
if it was the spinach or the bacon but it is sad to say that the meal did not sit
well on my stomach afterward.

Smoked bacon chicken sandwich |
My companion enjoyed her smoked bacon chicken
sandwich ($7.50) and mentioned that it had a nice flavor and was not dry. On the brunch menu, they serve gourmet toast (such as avocado salmon), crepes, quiche, oatmeal, or French toast made with brioche bread. Drink options were water,
various teas, lemonades, and coffee.
The best part of my meal
was the slice of red velvet cake I ordered for dessert. It was delicious! I dove into it so fast that there is no picture to tell the tale. It had an apple spice flavor more than a cocoa note in the cake
itself which was different. Perhaps they use applesauce to keep the cake
moist? The cream cheese/buttercream icing was perfect. At
$3.50 for a slice it was well worth the price.
Stick to the
desserts at Milk and Honey. The wedding cakes they had on their website looked beautiful.
