Our Story
Cafe MILK in Newhaven has seasonally crafted lunch and breakfast menus, house baked cakes, direct trade Brazilian coffee freshly roasted in Edinburgh, natural and organic wine and locally crafted beers.
Our focus is on innovative nutritious food where we let the ingredients do the talking. Our menus contain thoughtfully sourced produce and always includes lots of vegetarian and vegan dishes. You can see our whole menu further down this page.
Our contemporary, light filled space looks out onto the courtyard where you can while away the time watching artists at work. We also have two outdoor seating areas which over look the cycle path and our wildflower meadow. The cafe is dog friendly and we have lots of games and toys to keep the children happy whilst you order one more flat white.
MILK is a destination for food that is nutritionally sound, seasonal and natural. Our licenced café is just off the cycle path in Newhaven.
