Millo Cafe (Rooftop at Millo Boutique)
7.9
Rooftop café perched above Millo Boutique on Avenue U, focusing on matcha-forward drinks, espresso, and light cafe fare. Diners come for the open-air setting, aesthetic design, and a quieter rooftop option within the neighborhood rather than a full-blown nightlife scene.
Must-Try Dishes:
Marshmallow Matcha Latte, Iced Matcha Latte, Chef's daily salad, wrap, and appetizer selection

What makes it special: Rooftop matcha café above a boutique with a focus on aesthetic, open-air coffee breaks.
Who should go: Coffee and matcha fans who love rooftop hangs.
When to visit: Daytime into golden hour for the best rooftop feel.
What to order: Marshmallow Matcha Latte, iced matcha, a fresh daily salad or wrap.
Insider tip: Head up on clear days and pair your drink with the in-house chef’s daily salad or wrap while you browse the boutique downstairs.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on and around Avenue U can be competitive during peak hours; plan a few extra minutes to circle or use nearby paid lots if available.
Dress code: Casual to elevated-casual works best — many guests lean slightly stylish due to the boutique and rooftop vibe.
Noise level: Generally low to moderate — you can comfortably talk, with some ambient street and crowd noise during busy times.
Weekend wait: Often minimal since it’s more café-style than nightlife-focused, but sunny evenings can draw short waits for preferred tables.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, especially earlier in the afternoon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — many drinks and light café items are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited — matcha and espresso drinks can usually be made with alternative milks, and a few light bites may qualify.
Gluten-free options: Some options may be gluten-free, but selection is limited — confirm ingredients when ordering.
Best For
Better for: Chill rooftop hangs, matcha drinks, and daytime photo-worthy café breaks rather than nightlife or heavy dining.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full dinner menu, loud party energy, or a late-night scene — this is a lighter, calmer experience.
