Great little X milkbar serving the community with a warm suburban Cafe. Had the Jacks breakfast and ordered just before the lulu lemon rush!

Dec 24: we’ve visited Jack The Milkman twice in the past couple of weeks. That speaks volume how much we like this cafe and here is why. T 1. The gentlemen at the coffee machine (I assume they are the owners) are nice and friendly. Even though they are busy pumping out coffee orders, they still keep up their smile with customers. 2. Food is simply fantastic. Cooking with care I can really tell from my experience. I love their version of big breakfast. Simple yet delicious without excessive grease at all. Well done. Coffee is also fantastic nothing to fault really. 3. I love a stand alone cafe/restaurant like this so much. Love to see how they transform an old space into something nice. I mean the amount of work they put on the nterior is already appreciated by locals. All in all, well done the team and keep up your good work so we locals will keep supporting you. Highly recommended

Jack the Milkman is a delicious cafe hidden on Kangaroo Road in Murrumbeena. It offers a great menu for both breakfast and lunch. Highly recommend going there for a meal around brunch as the food is delicious.

What a lovely find this cafe is. It's a work in progress decoration-wise but the food and service is impeccable. Proper food made with love and careful attention to detail in both food combinations and presentation. Interesting menu, great prices and - most importantly - great coffee. Will definitely come back.

The best service from all the staff every time I visit. Ample seating while still retaining a cozy atmosphere. First time having the Labneh Eggs and it was delicious, would highly recommend for anyone interested to trying something a little different.
