Aussie cafe’s most shocking menu revelation—you won't believe what they just added!

In a bold move that's left food enthusiasts buzzing, a café has introduced a jaw-dropping item to its menu that is turning heads and tantalising taste buds.

This surprising addition is not only pushing culinary boundaries but also igniting conversations across social media.

As diners flock to experience this unique offering, it raises questions about the limits of creativity in food and the lengths establishments will go to stand out in a competitive dining scene.


In the ever-evolving culinary scene, where the quest for the most unique and social media-worthy menu items seems never-ending, one Melbourne cafe has taken the concept of ‘alternative’ to a whole new level.

Sergy Boy, a hip cafe nestled in the bustling streets of Docklands, has recently stunned patrons with a sign that suggests an ‘outrageous’ new addition to their milk options—and it's causing quite the stir.

The cafe, known for its trendy vibe and a steady stream of caffeine aficionados, displayed a peculiar announcement that left customers bewildered and amused in equal measure.

One Sydney visitor in town for a work trip couldn't help but notice the unusual offering while searching for his morning coffee fix.

The bustling atmosphere of Sergy Boy drew him in, but it was the blackboard's content that captured his attention.

‘I saw it when I was going to get my coffee one morning this week,’ the man said. ‘I’m not usually in Melbourne but was down from Sydney on a work trip.’

‘When I went over to the counter to order, there was this blackboard that had all the alternative milks available on it,’ he explained.


In a photo posted by the Sydneysider, a small black sign rests on a glass bench close to the area where baristas serve coffee to customers.

The sign read, ‘Now serving: Almond milk, oat milk, lactose-free milk. Next week, breast milk.’

The playful item on the menu was priced at $5, which feels excessive when you factor in that it's in addition to the cost of the coffee itself, while almond milk was only an extra 50 cents.


The cafe-goer's inquiry about the sign led to a moment of confusion with the staff, who initially thought he was serious about ordering breast milk with his coffee.

After clarifying his curiosity, he was reassured by a barista that the sign was, in fact, ‘just a joke’.

‘It's probably a response to all the interesting milk requests they get each week,’ he mused.

‘But honestly, it did make me do a double take. I know Melbourne is known for being hipster and forward-thinking, so I wouldn’t put it past them!’


It seems that others have noticed the sign as well and have taken to social media to join in on the fun.

‘Finally, a Melbourne cafe with all your milk needs,’ a user posted, along with a photo of the sign.

‘Wait breastmilk is going for $5? There’s a market for this?’ one commenter questioned. ‘This could be a side hustle…young mums making extra cash.’

‘I’m sure it would be udder-ly amazing,’ another joked.

‘I predict a change in demographics for that cafe next week,’ a third said, implying that more male customers might come to the cafe.

However, not everyone found the situation amusing.

‘You should never joke about this,’ one commented.


Meanwhile, some questioned whether breast milk should be included alongside other ‘alternative milks’ on the sign since it is technically classified as dairy.

Healthline states that dairy products come from the milk of mammals, and humans fall into that category.

One person even suggested it could be considered ‘vegan’ if sourced from ‘consenting’ women.


As café culture continues to evolve, so too do the quirky and unconventional offerings that grab attention and spark conversation.

Recently, a Melbourne café took a bold step with its outrageous menu addition, igniting a mix of amusement and debate among patrons.

This trend of pushing culinary boundaries doesn't stop there; it also extends to unique treats like horse milk ice cream, which is gaining traction for its unusual flavour profile.

Just a little titillating joke to start the day off while keeping a breast of the latest coffee club news....to those that may find it off colour get a life and just suck it up.;)
Very clever answer.
 
I would have concluded joke.

Might have saved themselves some odd glances if they'd had that at the end in brackets.
Only non-regulars would have noticed this. Regulars don't read boards; they 'grab and go' their usual brew.
Good chuckle I think

I’m gullible….I’d believe it…..wouldn’t ask for it, although there are people who do pay lactating women for their breast milk, for themselves…… 🤷‍♀️
