March Favourite: Milk & Sugar !

A new friend introduced me to this little bubble tea place right on Kingsway (across from Honolulu Cafe). I have since made many returns to Milk and Sugar, and it is curious that I really had never heard of it before March. After class one day, T showed me this little place and their wonderful two dollar bubble tea specials. And that two dollars is tax inclusive, so really. Two dollars. For bubble tea. I was blown away. Naturally, I have been back for more of their two dollar bubble teas since. It has been a lovely pick me up before or for studying during finals.

Learning about their all-day breakfast specials for $3, I had to go back to try it. Now I am not saying this for the first time in a post, but I hold Bon`s on Broadway`s all day breakfast specials for $2.95 at heart, so I have to go give any all day breakfasts a try to see how they compare. I really enjoy the shorter distance to get to Milk and Sugar by comparison, firstly.

The breakfast comes with two eggs, two slices of toast (toasted without butter), a good portion of potatoes and sausages. The first thing I can say about this breakfast, in comparison to Bon`s, is that there is less oil and butter and general fat used to cook this meal overall. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, so I vote these potatoes over Bon`s potatoes (I usually get those substituted for fries at Bon`s). I like being able to control the amount of butter I put on my toast here because sometimes I get the super buttered toast at Bon`s (that is delicious but we all know is horrible to have). But I am not a big fan of sausages in general because they tend to be too salty for my tastes, so I like that you can choose ham or bacon over sausages at Bon`s.. And lastly, eggs... But well the eggs are eggs, and hard to mess up overall. Sooo I like the eggs, haha one for each piece of toast.

I feel that Bon`s is better suited to a larger volume of customers because this breakfast took a while to get to my table, or maybe they are short on staff at Milk and Sugar. The place is better known for their bubble tea and drinks than their breakfast. In terms of environment... Well Bon`s is typically loud and full of people, which means the noise level can be quite loud... But Milk and Sugar has the blender right behind you as you eat, so the noise level isn`t any better. I love both restaurants` breakfasts, mhmmm. Really it just comes down to two things to help me pick which one I`d want to go to for breakfast... Which location is closer to me right now, do I want coke (with refills) or bubble tea with my food, and what time it is (Milk and Sugar is open much later than Bon`s is!).
