Moms Eat Local: MilkBoy Coffee

Moms know how tough it can be to eat out with little ones. Patch wants to help you know before you walk in the door if MilkBoy Coffee is a good place to eat with your children.

Restaurant:

Is there a kids’ menu? No, but they do have peanut butter and jelly, grilled cheese and occasionally may have hot dogs.

Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? The peanut butter and jelly sandwich, salads and wraps are quite healthy. In addition, they try to source their ingredients locally, which means no preservatives.

How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? Alert the staff, and they will steer you toward items you can have. They offer many vegetarian and vegan items, which is great for those who are lactose intolerant.

Is the restaurant so quiet that any childish outburst will draw attention or is there enough noise that a small cry is likely to go unnoticed? The noise level depends on the people in the dining area. If everyone is reading or working on their computer, it is relatively quiet. If everyone is catching up with friends and family, it can get much noisier. For kids, there's an early childhood music curriculum presented on certain Saturdays by the educators of Sally's Music Circle.
