Milk Shop | Abuja

📍7, Kampala Street, Wuse 2, Abuja.

This is an interesting one because we were at a dessert shop! I’m not exactly the biggest fan of desserts, I’d rather have my pasta/rice dishes or burgers.

But when Aisha, the owner of Milk Shop invited me over, I couldn’t resist because the treats on the instagram page were absolutely mouthwatering.

AMBIENCE:

So, Milk Shop shares a space with another restaurant called Mekky’s (so don’t get confused like I was when you go). Entering the building, to the left is the dessert area while to the right is the other restaurant.

I liked how cozy the inside was and that it was slightly secluded. The light fixtures and wall paint were also interesting details.

I first sat on the sofa, but I was uncomfortable because I felt the sofa itself was way too low for the height of that particular table. I eventually switched and sat on one of the black chairs, which was way more comfortable.

Another thing I loved were the marble tabletops. Good quality product and serves as a nice backdrop for flat-lay photographs. I mean I would know right? LOL

I’d have loved to see the lighting of the space at night. I’ll definitely be back for that.

SERVICE:

Service was good. Aisha kept checking in on her customers to make sure everything was going smoothly. I also like that the menu is a page and quite straightforward.

FOOD:

I enjoyed everything. I was mainly impressed with the quality of the food and it’s presentation.

SALMAH’S SIDENOTE:

Milk Shop has a lot to offer. Not all the products they make are on the menu below. I’ll suggest you follow the page on Instagram so you have a better understanding of what they have. There are other items such as sausage rolls, cupcakes and so on.

REVIEW OF FOOD:

Caramel Pecan Pie w Ice Cream

I’ve never tried any form of pie before, for reasons I myself don’t know, I’ve always just shied away from them. But I’m all about exploring and trying new things now, so I went for it.

The pie was nice! I loved that it had nuts infused in the caramel sauce. The pastry was good too, liked that it wasn’t too thick to overpower the sauce. And when I paired it with the ice cream, heaven!

Brownie

Legit one of the best brownies I’ve ever had! Gooey on the inside, warm, and sweet. Did I mention warm? I loved the addition of the chocolate sauce which made it even better. Another thing I really appreciated was the presentation.

Smoothie of the day

(Mixed Berries, Pineapple, Mango, Watermelon, Banana)

This was really good. Reminded me of the quick smoothies I make in the mornings before heading to uni. However, I wished it was sweeter than it was, but Aisha explained that she wanted it to have a natural sweetness, rather than sugar additives.

Cookies

(Sorry I forgot to photograph them, cause I had them to go)

I remember back in March, my friend got some cookies from the store and I tried them. I honestly didn’t like them then, but I decided to try some this time around hoping it might be different this time. I was glad I wasn’t disappointed! Soft and gooey, with the right amount of sweetness!
