Jack the Milkman, Murrumbeena

Housed in an old milk bar, Jack the Milkman in Murrumbeena offers the classic Melbourne cafe experience wrapped in a glorious blanket of nostalgia.

Preserving the original facade, the outside remains true to its milk bar origins, while inside has been transformed into a light filled hive of activity, just as popular with the kids now as back in the day when 20c pick n’ mix lollies were still a thing.

The menu is diverse, from chilli scrambled eggs (mamma’s choice) to French toast and spiced baked beans. The little ones are well looked after too - with a selection of kids favourites for under 12s and a milkshake and smoothie menu available in smaller sizes (and alternative milks!), there’s no wonder this place is popular with little locals.
