Tucked away, in a lane way next to Cheltenham Station. Delicious coffee Attentive Service - looks like they have "regulars" galore. Not a huge menu, but just enough variety. Food was delicious, not too expensive. I had avo smash, which was a little bit different from the norm, but in a good way. I will go back again. I had been for a swim, so ravenous, and this was what I needed.

Caught up with a friend over brunch and ordered the mushroom dish and the eggs Benedict with avacado. The service there was homey and friendly and the meals were tasty and fresh. They’ll have a new menu out for winter, so will be returning to see what’s on offer.

Edit- went back on Sunday for the milkboy stack. The sweet potato rosti is delicious! Will definitely become one of my regular haunts.

Nice cafe for breakfast. Great seating spot in front of the window and a great record display, very seventies and tastefully done. The breakfast menu is not very long however the food is very good. Service is quick and friendly. The coffee is a standard double shot and is also very good. Pricing is normal for the area. Recommended for a Saturday morning breakfast.

I love this place, it’s my go to weekender. Cool atmosphere, great service and awesome food and coffee. The guys have created a great space. Next mission is to check out their Camberwell shop.

Tucked away behind busy Cheltenham road, this coffee bar has tripled in size since my first visit. It now takes up 3 shopfronts next to the train station. Coffee by disciple.

There's a great one here, with a tribute to the vinyl record.

What a great little gem. Located in an alley way outside the station it can be very easy to miss... but working around the corner from the place it’s become a favourite.
Beautiful variety of sandwiches and breakfast as well as decent coffee; a place I visit frequently and never have I been disappointed

This place has great coffee, is so unpretentious and not trying to be like any other cafe. I enjoy going here for a casual catch up and the food is very appealing. The Reuben is well flavoured.

I will continue to support this place on my ventured to Cheltenham. If you like this place, I would also recommend two Bob snob.

Amazing food and fabulous service! The atmosphere is cool with lots of old school records decorating the cafe and the coffee is top notch. This place is great for kids, nothing is too much trouble for these guys and they are really good for catering for different dietary needs.

Used to be always on the go. Getting a coffee at the Cheltenham station was counted as a luxury, so I never paid attention to the name as I just enjoyed the nice smell of coffee beans. . Now, being on mat leave again and still always on the go, but with no obligation to be on time at work, which I call a tiring but rewarding phase. I’m not just getting a coffee but actually checking out the name of that little coffee shop by the station, which always provides me a kick in the morning. Its called Milkboy Espresso and Kitchen. Funny enough, the giant logo has been always on the window, but the old frantic life made me ignore all the details.

Tucked away just off a main road in Cheltenham is the very cool and retro Milkboy Espresso. Although the interior looks retro the food is certainly not! The team Milkboy Espresso take their brunch very seriously and the 'Friends with Benedict' is the perfect example of this. This place is a must try!

> Good old fashioned- smashed avocado + pea with poached egg, grilled halloumi, roasted cherry tomatoes + balsamic glaze AND Return of the mac- crumbed mac n cheese bites with roquette, spicy green tomato salsa + chorizo crumb AND Porridge with poached pear, honey + nuts <

Milkboy Espresso is a trendy little café hidden amongst a strip of shops and a train station in the heart of Cheltenham. The staff are so nice and friendly and are happy to help suggest what dish is right for you! They have a good variety of options on the menu so there is definitely something for everyone.

To put this place to the test, we decided to get a very classic dish. 

The smashed avo tasted like it was homemade and was very enjoyable. It had a great lemon to avo ratio and we demolished this dish in no time. The touch of halloumi was great to give the dish a bit more dimension and make it more substantial (plus, who doesn’t like halloumi?!). The tomatoes were perfect to add another flavour to the dish and prevent the flavours from getting boring. So it is safe to say, they have nailed this classic dish!

The mac n cheese bite was seriously out of this world! The ratio of cheese to the pasta was spot on and it was not too dry, nor too runny. The outside was perfectly crispy and each bite was better than the last! The tomato salsa was a nice addition to add some extra flavour to the dish and break down the flavours a bit so there is no boredom. We would 100% go back just for this dish because it is just that delicious!

Despite it being a hot day, the porridge was another classic that we had to try. The portion size of this dish was massive and definitely left me full for the entire day! The consistency of the dish is quite thick, but the poached pear and honey helped soften this and make it easier to eat. The pear was poached to perfection and it really stood out in this dish and made the presentation pop. My initial thought of this dish was that it tasted similar to weet-bix, which I absolutely love, so I was really happy with the flavours as it was not bland and very enjoyable to eat.

Overall, I really enjoyed my dining experience here because everything about this café is just wonderful and there were no issues at all. If you’re in the area, I would definitely recommend trying this place out!

I have coffee here in the mornings and the $3 t/a coffee deal is great! Coffee also tastes great - probably the best out of all the cafes around Cheltenham station. They offer decent breakfast foods as well. Also the staff are very friendly :)

Was passing through Cheltenham today and decided to look for a cage for brunch. Coffee was spot on and served at perfect drinking temperature! Not too hot not too cold! I ordered the French toast and my mum ordered some poached eggs. Service was good the waiters were super friendly .... the food was pretty good too, although my French toast seemed to be cold in the middle as if it may have been frozen previously. All in all was a good cafe and if I was back in the area I'd visit again to try other menu items

Milkboy's transformation from a hole in the wall coffee store to a fully fledged cafe in the heart of Cheltenham is an awesome addition to the suburb. It feels inner city, with delicious coffee and food and trendy interior, it blows away any local competition. The twist on the classic eggs benedict had me wanting to roll my small red velvety body in the delicious hollandaise and jucy pulled pork. Adjusted trumpets 4.25 out of 5 🎺🐘

I’ve been to Milkboy a number of times. It’s a bit of a “local” in terms of being close to my work – a desert in terms of good coffee. We often do venture probably further than is allowed by our 30 minute lunch break. This is no exception, although it is within the bounds of being acceptable. The service here can be a little hit and miss, but after eating here a few times the kitchen is at least consistent.

On yet another rainy Melbourne morning we decided to dine here. Tucked away off the busy street is milk boy. It's a tiny little place which can seem a little overwhelming but is comfortable once you settle in. Love the vinyl displays with some very random additions. The staff here were very attentive and quick to take orders, but I find it surprising that in today's age we had to ask twice for water to be added to the table. I chose the Egyptian brekky which is beetroot hummus, poached eggs, haloumi, rocket and dukkah atop pita bread. A fantastic dish with the relay winner being the beetroot hummus. I look forward to coming back as it feels like a nice little cafe to escape the world.

A very  popular espresso bar, and understandably, as the coffee here is excellent. However, I was a little disappointed in the breakfast I had, which was plain and uninspiring. The  dining area is quite tiny, but  the decor here is fairly funky, with album covers lining the walls.  Staff are friendly, and service is quick.

The joy of driving around exploring Melbourne ....

Melbourne is huge, so you need time to get across from one side to the other, hoping the next Victorian Government has more sense in building infrastructure and better Public transport system to ease gridlocks and congestion on a daily basis.

Once in a while, more often than not you get to enjoy the many pocket of gems of Melbourne, just like this Monday in Cheltenham, with a bit of a drizzle, this is Melbourne's Autumn.

Next to a vintage weatherboard, corrugated iron roof Cheltenham station, on a small lane we've found this cafe through Zomato. Unassuming, quaint, inside oroutside, dine in or take away, timber paneling, Scandinavian 70's ambiance, Mosaic table top/bench, Bentwood stools, vintage Scandinavian inspired green vinyl upholstery, cool vintage Synesso espresso machine, cafe style lights by the glass window (off-course), prominent Lionel Ritchie's (with hair) Dancing on the Ceiling vinyl LPs (Analog before digital CDs kids), Turntable which gets to see some actions once in a while, cool casual staff and great looking Menu ... print them bigger please, hard to read for me.

Great short black, Latte and Soylatte made of Supreme coffee beans pumped through a near vintage two group Synesso Slayer with a wooden handle.

Well-cooked brunch, Middle Eastern Dukkah poached eggs with Haloumi on Pita bread with Beetroot hummus and Rockets, also some Croissant with Butter and Jam.

Great reason to drive back there on another Monday .... and that's what Melbourne is all about folks, go and explore, you'll be glad you did.

Now it's not very often I give 5/5, but this little place, tucked away in a side alley, next to Cheltenham station is awesome. I got the "Milkboy Avo". The best avo on toast to date! Perfect flavours and added extras like infused oil and fresh roasted garlic top it off!
And the coffee.... Really, really good
Coffee! Not often you see both amazing coffee and food at the same time.
Love the retro record player and tunes too!
If I knew this place was here sooner, I would have been here a long time ago!
Good on you Milkboy!! I'll be back!

Awesome little cafe set up by the owner James. He's a champion.

He makes an awesome coffee and his chefs make some solid food. I tried a Reuben baguette and that was great- good ratio of ingredients and great balance of salty, sour, tangy and sweet flavours.

The house made salted caramel slice is also great. Hard to pass up on that!

This is an awesome cafe in a great little spot. Get on it!

Love this place!  Cheltenham is growing and changing so fast with apartments and hipsters almost outnumbering the babyboomers!  If you love your coffee (as I do) Milkboy is the place for you; consistently awesome coffee with a small but creative menu.  The place has a great vibe and James and Jasper always make us welcome.  We love it!

This is one of the great things in Cheltenham. Walk off from the railway station strait to Milk Boy for that terrific coffee ( they're using Supreme coffee) and some delicious banquettes that are freshly prepared daily. We love the pulled pork with slaw and mayo in particular. Super friendly service from those gentlemen makes the whole experience fantastic. Highly recommended.

Don't let the quiet cool of the unassuming exterior fool you. Milkboy serves up coffee so smooth, James Brown would be jealous. Rare find for the normally stagnant flat white world of suburbia. Always a strong lunch time crowd, queuing for the delectable looking crusty rolls. Do yourself a favour and hit up Milkboy.

The options in Cheltenham for good coffee and food range from 'non existent' to 'mildly ok'. It's refreshing to have something on my way to the office that competes with the best of them.  Customer Service included!

Situated right outside the station, brilliant location. Need to think about how many people will buy coffee for the train if it's cold before you get to the station. People understand espresso culture/ milk temps but are buying for the journey. Not a criticism just a piece of advise. Peace.

Great addition to the Cheltenham area which is pretty much a wasteland for high quality specialty coffee. These guys know their stuff. Coffees are pulled through a 2 group Slayer and include a blend and single origin by Supreme Coffee Roasters. The coffee here is very very good, and it's made by guys who are passionate about their coffee. There is also a little Deli on site as well with some really nice looking cheeses and antipasto.
