Reviews Summary
Milk Bar is highly praised for its exceptional desserts and unique breakfast options, creating a vibrant and photogenic dining experience. While many rave about the quality of sweets and attentive service, some diners find the menu limited, prices high, and the atmosphere can be noisy and crowded.
"Amazing place if you have a sweet tooth like I do. Their sweets are probably the best in all Kiev, and you can tell the place is popular since its full all the time with an usual waiting time of 15 minutes to get sit. I had the victorias secret cake and its absolutely divine. Goes better with tea !"

"Loved the waffles with chicken! Especially the waffles, are the best I've ever had. Mango smoothie was tasty, I had it without chilly.
However, some other things were not that good like the turkey sandwich. Overall place looks cool but nothing extraordinary however, the cakes on display look amazing."

2)overpriced
3)noisy place
4)long queues
5)not enough tables
6) my dish was cold
Anyway, the interior is quiet good, nice decoration"
