Move over, Fage and Chobani, because Milos Cafe has the best Greek yogurt I've had! Sure, it's not fair to compare Greek yogurt from a small cafe to that from a large company that packages it for individual sale, but if you are ever craving real, authentic Greek yogurt, you must come to Milos and try its Plain "Real Greek" Yogurt.
The small 4oz portion ($4.50) is a bit on the expensive side, but you also get a choice of toppings – fresh fruit, granola, or dried fruits. I got the fresh fruit of blueberry, strawberry, mango and pineapple. The fruits are so ripe and go perfectly well together with the yogurt.
The Greek yogurt is extremely thick and creamy. I'd recommend adding a little drizzle of honey to make it sweeter. The yogurt almost has a consistency of cream cheese + sour cream mixed together.
Another one of my Midtown West Favorites is Milos; best known for their super fresh high quality delicious ingredients and best Yogurt this side of town!
My favorite here is the dreamy, thick, fresh and creamy Greek Yogurt that's pure yogurt with no run off of excess Liquids what so ever and the fresh fruit toppings & or Spoon Sweets .
Big Eye Tuna Burger – Super light, fresh & tasty with a nice serving of Arugula Lettuce Greens in Balsamic Vinegar and a small side of Chips!
Seared Big Eye Tuna (Loin) – Nice thick meaty cuts of Tuna perfectly seared on a bed of Baby Arugula Greens drizzled in Olive Oil / Light Balsamic Vinegar and heirloom baby beets
Grilled Organic Honjake Salmon – Just Perfect on a bed of Mixed Greens W/olive oil & balsamic vinegar vinaigrette
Customer service is aimed to please and prices are moderately higher than average.
I just had a prosciutto/mozzarella sandwich from here. It was huge and delicious! I'll be full for hours. The bread was perfect – warm, chewy with a crackly crust, and the sandwich was stuffed with really excellent prosciutto. Yes, $10 for a sandwich sucks outside of NYC. But this is midtown Manhattan and at that quality in this area, this is a great value. The sandwich came with a side of fresh greens dressed with simple balsamic vinegar dressing and veggie chips. Completely satisfying. This is a new favorite lunch spot.
I have avoided trying Milos Cafe for years due to the (primarily) snooty, unwelcoming, and "put out" customer service I've experienced when making reservations at Milos proper for my Executives, and the consistent reports of the same customer and table service they have received nearly every time they dine in. This combined with the exorbitant pricing on most of the MC items has solidly kept my business at bay.
Yesterday, one of my Executives came back to the office with MC's Salmon Sandwich, which looked and smelled so good I decided to order one for pick up after work, especially since a hearty and healthy sandwich, small salad, and fresh veggie chips cost less than $10.
I ordered it online at 5pm. I arrived at MC just before 5:30pm. With one employee on the floor stocking the shelves, and four employees in the back talking, it took a moment before anyone offered to assist me (the only customer in the cafe). When I mentioned I was picking up an online order, there was great hubbub…..as no one knew there was an order to fill.
They took quite a few minutes reading and re-reading the order…asking each other what to do….but no one making the plate.
The manager came in, who was very jovial, likable, and personable, though took another few minutes to realize the look on my face was not one of pleasure. After repeatedly trying to upsell me on various items they offer, he clicked in, and asked if I'd been helped. When I explained the situation, he went right to work managing, and had his employees prepare my food quickly.
However, no apology for the wait, no offer for a complimentary beverage or dessert item to show good grace (which I do not feel would have been asking much, since he was pushing expensive bottles of olive oil on me for a few minutes before he realized there was an issue)…just a talk with his team, which made it clear this was a consistent issue that they've been trained to avoid many times over.
These things happen. Sometimes you put in an order online, are the only order they have had in the past thirty minutes, but the ball is dropped, and they screw it up. Annoying, but no biggy. It's how the situation is handled to ensure the customer is quelled, and business retained. A simple genuine apology for the inconvenience is usually all a person needs to give a business a second shot.
But, when you have the primary business offering pretentiousness no where near its best, and the associated cafe unable to execute at the level of my local bodega? And at MC's prices?! You're not a business I can justify frequenting, or recommending others to do the same.
cute takeout spot with some outdoor seating. they specialize in greek yogurt, but I came for lunch and ordered the proscuitto, mozzarella and tomato sandwich. DELICIOUS. Fresh, crusty ciabatta, zingy mustard, and fresh ingredients. They make their sandwiches to order so don't be fooled by the prepared stuff at the window. Comes with a handful of chips and small side salad. yummo
This is my second rendevous with Milos with the first coming in Vegas last year. This was just as good as the first and had an awesome prefix menu for lunch. For $25 you got a 3 course meal including. I got the octopus, salmon and fruit. It would have been 5 stars had there not been hair in my fruit but it didn't really take away from anything else. This place gets packed for lunch with professionals looking to do business.
Just devoured a prosciutto, tomato, and mozzarella cheese sandwich on ciabatta bread and it was delicious! One of the most satisfying sandwiches I've had in a long, long while. I don't even like eating sandwiches. At a $9+ price tag, it is a bit pricey for a sandwich in Midtown, but at least it comes with a small green salad and some Terra chips. They also have several other sandwiches to choose from, all ranging from $9-$15. Milos Cafe also prides themselves in their real Greek yogurt, which I have not tried.
I would recommend to-go orders as this small cafe has limited seating.
The sandwich had good proportions of all ingredients and didn't jip out on the prosciutto. The mozzarella was fresh, as were the greens. The ciabatta bread was super crispy on the outside and it was delicious! No stale bread here. My colleague complained that it was really tough and chewy, but I guess that's because he doesn't understand ciabatta bread 🙂
Cute little small cafe with slightly overpriced but delicious sandwich(es). I'll probably try their "famous lentil soup" next.
