Milkees serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Their chocolate chip cookies are a must-try, along with other pastries.
Do you have a favorite neighborhood café?
When I move to a new place, one of the first things I look for is a café to make my own. I like getting to know the people who work there, and it’s always a pleasure when they lead me to my favorite table. I bring a notebook and pen to draw, but never a computer—cafés feel like places to unwind and enjoy the moment. My coffee rituals, whether a cappuccino or espresso, are part of the experience. If you’re in the Saldanha area,Milkees is an excellent spot to adopt as your local neighborhood cafe.
