Milk Street Cafe

About

Milk Street Cafe is a downtown Boston café and corporate caterer that opened in November 1981. The café serves breakfast and lunch, while the catering side handles office meetings, boxed lunches, brunches and celebrations across Greater Boston. The menu mixes regional and international dishes with an emphasis on healthy, wholesome food, and the kitchen highlights approachable, kosher meals suited to professional occasions.

The business is family-owned and operated, and owner Marc Epstein and his wife, Beth, are often in the café greeting regulars. Executive chef Jeff Poliseno leads the kitchen, and the menu aims for balanced, clean flavors and simple, fresh presentation. Everything is made in-house from scratch under one roof, with produce and specialty items sourced from local and organic farmers whenever possible. That focus on freshness and service has built a small community of regulars downtown.
