Milk Belly is a downtown Asian-inspired, family-run bakery turning out exceptional milk bread and the kind of toasts that genuinely improve your day. The Hong Kong Milk Toast—a plush slab of milk bread layered with peanut butter, condensed milk, and cinnamon—is a standout, and the Japanese egg salad sando with its jammy split egg is just as compelling. If you don’t want to choose between sweet and savory, bring a date or a friend and split both in this warm, red-brick space that works as well for a casual date as it does for a midday escape from your laptop.
