Milo Cafe and Store

I recently had the pleasure of dropping off my dog, Popcorn, for a much-needed grooming session after her relentless chicken poop adventures. With an hour and a half to spare, I decided to explore the local scene and found myself at Milo Cafe & Store on High Street, Maryborough, thanks to a quick Google search. From the moment I walked in, Milo Cafe & Store charmed me with its spotless and inviting atmosphere. The all-day menu was a delightful surprise, boasting an impressive variety of drinks and dishes. I was particularly tempted by the smoothie options, which came in five different flavours, not to mention the additional hemp protein powder option. Their beverage selection was equally extensive, featuring chai, monk chai, organic tea, coffee, iced coffee, and a range of milk choices. Although the big brekky, with its tofu scramble, bacon, slow-roasted tomatoes, house-made beans, confit mushrooms, spinach, avocado, and gluten-free sourdough bread, called out to me, I decided to stick with a lovely mug of almond cappuccino. As I sipped my delicious coffee, I couldn't help but admire the cosy atmosphere and the inviting shop display filled with unique gifts. The lady who served me was a gem, offering top-notch service with a warm smile and patiently answering all my questions about the cafe's history and prices. I found a perfect spot on a stool by the big window overlooking the bustling main road. Surrounded by magazines on healthy eating, I was tempted again by the menu's offerings, particularly the French toast with poached pear, vanilla yoghurt, maple syrup, and pistachio crumble, and the avo, pea, and mint smash on sourdough bread with roasted zucchini, vegan Persian feta, house-made dukkha, rocket, and lemon. Just as I was about to give in to my cravings, my phone rang with news that Popcorn's grooming was finished. Reluctantly, I left the delightful ambience of Milo Cafe & Store. This cafe is a gem with its great location, delicious coffee, and warm service. Kudos to the owners! I'll definitely be back for that tempting brekky.

100% vegan and nearly everything was also gluten free or had the option to be made GF, it was so delicious and staff were very nice and accommodating.
