Spilt Milk, Pt Chev

We went here for coffees after a less-than-pleasant experience across the road. Small cafe in the Pt. Chev shopping complex with pleasing decor. We ordered ginger toddy, Vietnamese iced coffee and a peppermint tea. Couldn’t fault anything and the ginger toddy and Vietnamese iced tea were delightful and recommended. I shall be returning.

For some reason every week we get out to Point Chev, it’s sunny and bright. And we think it’s a pretty apt way to describe Spilt Milk, tucked beside the old school stalwart of a shopping arcade. White tiling and pine wood, tick. Pastel feature wall, tick. Copper circle mirror, tick. Six Barrel Sodas, tick these guys have “trendy” down to the t. The lack of a bathroom was a bit of a surprise, although there were a set of public ones outside of the shopping complex. We were particularly intrigued by the Vietnamese inspired items on the menu apparently the Vietnamese coffee packed quite a punch, might be the Velo beans though. Next time we’re keen to try the coffee tonic and Becka’s Feed the Vegan, though maybe with a side of chicken #notthepoint.Check out our individual food reviews here: husk.co.nz/lunches/spilt milk january 2017

Located in Pt Chev right next to countdown it’s an odd place for a café but once your inside its quite secluded and away from foot traffic. The plus side of its location is that there is plenty of parking. With a Metro top 50 café 2016 sticker on the front door we had high hopes for this place. Greeted on arrival we grabbed some menus and took a seat. The interior design has a scandi feel to it and a modern colour pallet. The pastel tiled walled makes a great feature and adds a bit of colour to the space. The menu has some great classics and also some Vietnamese inspired dishes which seems to be trending right now. <br/ <br/ My partner ordered the Paleo breakfast which was a good sized dish and was really clean. It was nice to have a ‘big breakfast’ but not feel overly full afterwards, we skipped one poached egg though as it was overdone and the yolk was firm...bummer! I went for the Bene deluxe with haloumi as I had heard nothing but good things via foodie write ups and reviews. There wasn’t anything extraordinary to the dish, each element was done. I wasn’t sure on the hollandaise sauce though as it had a strong wholegrain mustard flavour. The coffee was great and was served in pretty gold foil printed mugs. <br/ <br/ Split milk is a well presented café that offers great coffee and decent food. Not sure if we’d make the drive especially for it again but it’s worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Good, good, good. I originally ordered the Best Ugly bagel (avo) but the person that took our order came back to tell me that had no sauerkraut. Seemed a fairly impt component of the dish so I switched to pretzel roll with pork. Delicious! And the coffee was hot and strong. Would def go again.

Always lovee their almond milk flat white(since they uses unsweetened almond milk~ and veggie bap!! And they have free sparking water which is just prefect:
