Milkd Maylands

I don't know when Milkd Maylands was sold, but it is now an absolute disappointment. I ordered an almond cappuccino and scrambled eggs on toast, with smoked salmon and haloumi. I was the only person in the cafe. My coffee took 5 minutes. The froth was separate from the coffee and tepid at best. The shot under-extracted so coffee had minimal flavour. Food took 20 minutes. There were two staff on at this time, a Vietnamese lady and a young sullen girl. Scrambled eggs were completely dry! No milk or cream added, or salt for that matter. But plenty of chunky cracked pepper?? I had to ask for butter for the toast and some tomato relish as the whole thing was flavourless. When the girl brought over the butter and relish, she informed me that there was butter on the bread already, I just couldn't see it. The fantastic vibe that Milkd Maylands had in spades for so many years, has sadly disappeared. I'd imagine that it's clientele will be doing the same.

Went between 7:45 to 8:20. Great service, not too crowded, not too over hyped. Theme is relaxed enough to be enjoyable. Coffee was quite good (reg Flat White 1x sugar) - could taste the roast and enjoyed it as it wasn't a bland cup of coffee. The breakfast burger was phenomenal, my wife and I thoroughly liked it. Would reccomend for a brekkie or brunch date. Prices on cups are average; 12 bucks is about what you can expect for a good brekkie.

Very rude Barista. The Barista girl called out a skinny Cappuccino, and I want to confirm is this the one I ordered or it’s for someone else. I asked “is this the one with no chocolate on top?” Then she replied grumpily “please ask question at the front desk”, which I believe she is the one who is in the coffee making process. My friend and I were shocked on this response. There are many ways to handle it and she chose the worst way. I wanted to make sure is that what she had just said, so I replied “so you cannot answer any question?”. She messed up the second chance and answered “yes” very certainly. I believe there would be a more appropriate position for you work so you don’t have to face any customer, like dishwasher, or go back to study for your manner. Good start for a holiday.

What a shame. One the best cafes in Perth ruined in such a short time by indifferent service and bad management. In addition they are now refusing sit-down service within 60 minutes of closure to save staff costs. I think the few minutes saved will come back to haunt their bottom line very adversely. No longer a regular. Have gone elsewhere.
