Hey there, if you're on the hunt for a solid brunch spot, I've got one for you. Milk in Balham has been my go-to for a while, and there's a particular dish I reckon you've got to try: 'The Convict'.

The Lay of the Land:

  • Spot to Grab: I love the outdoor seating, especially when the weather's playing nice. It's a great way to enjoy the food while people-watching.
  • Menu Recommendation: Alright, let's talk about 'The Convict'. It's this Mcmuffin-style sandwich - sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, cheddar, and a bit of their special hangover sauce. Simple but so, so good.
  • For the Smoothie Fans: And hey, if you're into smoothies, Milk doesn’t disappoint. They've got a variety that’s refreshing and pretty tasty.

Dish Details:

  • Value for Money: 'The Convict' fills you up just right, perfect for a late morning meal.
  • A Must-Try: Can't stress this enough - the smoothies. Especially if you're in the mood for something fruity.
  • Off-Menu Tip: They sometimes have these seasonal specials, so maybe ask about that when you're there.

Best Time to Drop By:I'd suggest getting there around 9am on a Sunday. By half-past, the place starts filling up fast, and the queues can be a sight! They don’t take bookings, so it's a first-come-first-served deal.

Other Local Favourites:There are a couple of other cafes around Balham, but I've got a soft spot for Milk. Still, always good to explore and find your personal fave.

Hope this helps you out! Milk's got this laid-back vibe that I appreciate. It's one of those places that makes you feel right at home. If you do drop by, enjoy 'The Convict' for me, and maybe pair it with a smoothie. Happy brunching! 🍳🥤
