Start the day off right with the proper caffeine boost at Milky Coffee Bar. This shop opened October 2022 by local drag queen Frankie Reyna and anticipates an exciting year with delicious pastries and handcrafted coffee drinks, available iced and hot. The eatery also features small bites like the signature Hot Cheetos mac and cheese and banana wafer pudding.
