About

The Milkman is a small Cockburn Street coffee shop known for carefully made coffee and a changing counter of vegan pastries, including cinnamon rolls, brownies, and danishes. Seating is limited and morning queues can build, so it’s often easier to take a drink and pastry away; plant milks are available for coffee.
