About This Spot

Stepping into Milo’s Cafe feels like finding a quiet, cherished corner in a town that’s always humming just outside its doors. Tucked away in a modest, converted gas station beside the train tracks, this café offers a calm yet lively pause—a place where the day moves at a thoughtful, unhurried pace. The moment you arrive, there’s a subtle warmth in the air, born not just from the rich aromas of freshly ground espresso but from the buzz of neighbors catching up and the gentle clinking of cups.

Inside, Milo’s balances a humble charm with a touch of European café spirit. It’s the kind of spot where the atmosphere invites you to linger, whether you’re tucked in with a quiet moment alone or sharing a meal with family and friends. The space embraces its unpretentious roots and lends itself to honest conversation and the simple pleasure of good company.

The menu here reflects that same thoughtful approach—each offering feels considered and unforced, pairing well with the carefully crafted coffee and matcha drinks that have become a quiet draw for locals and travelers alike. From comforting savory crepes to fresh salads and inventive lattes, every bite and sip deepens the feeling of a place meant to nourish both body and spirit.

While parking and foot traffic can ebb and flow, the genuine heart of Milo’s Cafe lies in its ability to bring people together over moments that feel authentic and unhurried. It’s a space where the rhythms of daily life slow just enough to savor small joys—a rich espresso, a gentle conversation, and the comforting hum of a neighborhood café that knows its people well.

We brought our family here for breakfast and it was a huge hit! We had the wild mushroom and Mediterranean crepes - it was phenomenal! We also tried the juniper cardamom, gingerbread, and matcha lattes. Lastly, the espresso in our opinion is the best in the Triangle! Highly recommend this cute cafe!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally found my European cafe! I've been searching everywhere for an authentic European-style cafe since returning from my travels abroad, and Milo's Cafe is exactly what I've been looking for! This place truly captures that wonderful European coffee culture I fell in love with overseas. The pastries and coffee here are exceptional - so fresh, clean, and absolutely delicious. But it's not just the coffee and pastries that impress - their menu selections are fantastic too! Everything tastes authentic and reminds me of those perfect little cafes I discovered wandering through European streets. The quality and attention to detail really show across their entire menu. The atmosphere is welcoming with plenty of seating options, including a lovely patio area that's perfect for enjoying your coffee and pastries. There's also ample parking, which is always a plus. I have to thank my friend for suggesting I stop in - I'd been driving past Milo's countless times without giving it a try. What a mistake that was! Now I know I've found my new go-to spot. If you're craving that authentic European cafe experience without crossing an ocean, Milo's Cafe is the place. I'm already planning my next visit!

First impression old converted gas station next to the train tracks. Inside very nice coffee shop. I love small businesses who are trying to keep above the waterline every month. Clearly the rent here has to be inexpensive Spend money on good food and experience not location will work if you have a good product. I read the reviews and it’s really tough to find good help and work ethic so give the owners a break. I love how owners reply to messages and reviews shows they care. Bottom line great coffee. And the food was really good sure a bit pricey but you get a lot for your money. This avocado toast would serve 2 so take a friend. We will be back. Update. Been back 4x now I guess this is our place. Closest to Hungarian coffee shop. Well maybe not that close but closer than other places

super bustling spot with a large array of coffee + matcha drinks and food options. I tried the black sesame matcha (iced) and found it lacking in black sesame flavor but had a great mellow matcha taste! also tried the banana dulce de leche latte (hot) and it was great! food wise we had the chicken & brie crepe and the chicken schnitzel and the portions were large enough to take home for another meal so we loved that the price was definitely justified. our total was roughly $50 for 2 drinks and 2 food items with the drinks alone being $18 but this was a nice treat and would definitely come back to try the other drinks!

Seems a little in the middle of nowhere, this modest block building, but it’s quite cute inside and the food is really good. I had a salad and a nice espresso latte. My friend had a lavender matcha to drink, and a sandwich. We both enjoyed everything we tried. Parking might be a bit tricky if it’s really busy, but we didn’t have any trouble. There’s a dessert place next door that sells cupcakes made on site, and Maple View Dairy ice cream. The two places share a patio for outdoor dining tables with umbrellas. Should be very nice in spring and fall. We got a little chilled inside so bring a light sweater if you get cold easily. Very friendly service!

Milo’s Café is such a gem! Their coffees are fantastic — smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed every time. The matcha coffee is a must-try, super refreshing and balanced. The avocado toast is fresh and flavorful, and the smoked salmon sandwich hits all the right notes — light, savory, and satisfying. But the star for me was the French toast — thick, rich, and topped with ice cream that makes it next-level indulgent. Great vibes, friendly service, and amazing food. Can’t wait to go back!

Hidden Gem!!! A small, unsuspecting cafe with delicious food, delightful atmosphere, and good coffee! I was very happy and pleasently surprised by this coffee shop and cafe! A good spot to work from home, or meet a friend for coffee or lunch. The crepes were fast and tasty. The sandwich was delicious too! Try it all!

My rating for this place is a 4.5, only because I hadn’t visited enough for consistency. This place is pretty special. If you didn’t know, the owners are very involved in the operations of the café and usually when you have the owner involve sleeves rolled up with their coworkers. There’s an extra care into the product that’s being sold. I’ve been to this place, maybe five or six times. Every time I go, the Customer Service is elite. The staff is kind and warm as well as welcoming. Now let’s get to the food. I ordered an egg croissant with no ham because I don’t do pork. This sandwich is out of this world. The egg is seasoned so well I told the owner about the sandwich as a 12 out of five. Delicioso, the salad dressing that goes on the arugula, which has a very balanced flavor profile, almost made me forget about the sandwich. And I wasn’t expecting to get a salad, but it came with the sandwich. Then I had the seasonal Mexican latte and it was on point 5 of 5 solid recipe. Just to let you know, when it comes to coffee, my preference is to taste the coffee itself and with the syrup and milk. I’m not a fan of drinking sweet milk with a touch of coffee. So if you like the taste and the flavor of the coffee, this is an excellent choice. I will be back . Also, you can rent the coffee shop out and reserve the living room space as well. I recommend anybody that visits the Triangle area to come here. This café has so much character, which says a lot about the owners and staff! Thank you guys at Milos for what you do for the community! Mexican latte 5 of 5 Egg croissant
