Pastries, cruffins, toasties, and coffee from top roasters
"Milk is among the best spots for food in Balham full stop. There will be a queue at weekends, though staff bring coffee while you wait and the outside is a very nice place to sit and people-watch when it’s warm. Everything at brunch is made with the same attention to detail that most restaurants reserve for fancy dinners—the seasonal specials are killer, and the tonkatsu fish sando is something special too. We rate the toasties at their sister spot, Milk Run, too." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Milk Run is a charming little bakery between Balham and Tooting with a shiny counter of puffed croissants and cream-filled cruffins worth getting excited about. But it’s the toasties, which are all halal, that make this place really special. Our favourite is a tie between the gooey mac and cheese with thick, truffle mayo, and the spicy piri piri chicken toastie that comes with an excellent tangy, buffalo-esque ‘lazer butter’ sauce." - rianne shlebak
"For all your post-doggy paddle pastry and silky flat white needs, there's Milk Run in Balham. This brunch spot has a few indoor tables and a perfect counter spread of baked goods. The fillings change often, but if the flaky banana cheesecake cruffin is on, get it. Still, everything here is golden and crispy, so you can’t go far wrong." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Milk is a great cafe in Balham and one of the best spots in south London to get brunch. Plus, it has a bunch of outdoor benches that are perfect for groups." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Milk Run is a charming little bakery between Balham and Tooting, with a counter heaving with puffed croissants and cream-filled cruffins. But the sourdough toasties make this place really special. They’ve usually got around five to choose from, and our favourite is a tie between the gooey mac and cheese-stuffed toastie with thick, truffle mayo, and the spicy piri piri chicken toastie that comes with an excellent tangy, buffalo-esque sauce called ‘lazer butter’." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, daisy meager
