Milk Glass Mrkt - Portland

It has been transformed into a small boutique grocery, and I’m really disappointed that the pandemic forced them to shift from being the best brunch cafe in Arbor Lodge to this current version, which mainly offers cold food to-go and a limited selection of pastries. The pastries do look delicious if that’s what you're looking for. We really miss the old Milk Glass Market—please bring it back!

I was really looking forward to trying their vegetarian sandwich, which had received fantastic reviews, on a Saturday morning. After taking a couple of bites, I was enjoying the fresh ingredients and flavors. However, we unfortunately discovered a hair embedded in our sandwich.

I've been a regular at this restaurant for many years and have seen it go through various changes. The kale salad is fantastic, and the soft serve is equally delightful. Today, we tried the peach caramel sundae, and it was absolutely amazing. I appreciate that they offer some specialty items like wine and pasta. They also have my favorite chai from Tanglewood. Just be sure to check their hours before you go, as they can vary quite a bit.

What a lovely place with excellent service and delicious, unique meals.

While milk glass is not a full cafe, they do serve wine, a couple tapas, and soft serve ice cream from the back window (right now it's only happening on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings). Very pleasant outdoor seating only with blues music on speakers. This is so my kind of place and I look forward to seeing what else they do with it .
