Moustache - milk and cookies bar

There's a new kid in town, you can't miss it... it's wearing a big moustache.

Auckland's first milk and cookies bar opened in Wellesley Street at 7am this morning and already it's popular. Spreading the word via Facebook and Twitter, Moustache seems to has hit a chord with us Aucklanders. With its nostalgic decor of shiny tiles and old milk bottles, it's message is clear: we serve great milk and cookies.

I popped along early this morning to meet Toodles Noodles and her beau for a milk and cookie hit before work. While I waited outside, I watched a steady stream of people filling the wee shop and exciting with cookie and drink in-hand. Despite it being their first hour of business, they had people quickly out the door and smiling.

Their coffee is Supreme, their chocolate is Whittaker's and their ice cream is Kohu Road - all great products to work with, I reckon. The owner told me that this has been a long held dream for her and has been baking cookies for a very long time. And yes, my cookie was great. I had the black forest cookie: slightly chewy, just the way that I like it. Good on her for taking the plunge.

Bear in mind that this is just a wee joint and there's no where to sit.  Bring your KeepCup or IdealCup with you, so you don't need to use a disposable paper cup. The menu is simple: cookies (made by hand, on site), dunking milk, coffee, hot chocolate, milkshakes and tea. I will have to go back another time to try one of their milkshakes - the salted caramel sounds great.

There is one other thing I'd love to see on the menu. Toodles Noodles mentioned a famous cookie place in LA, that serves ice cream sandwiches... what a brilliant idea! Moustache, I would love to see you do an ice cream sandwich using Kohu Road's d'lish ice cream. Pretty please, with a cherry on top?

All the best to Moustache, I wish you many days of being up to your elbows in cookie dough!

    I walk down Wellesley street most days on my way to and from uni and have been rather intrigued by the recent goings-on as they were prepping the new shop. I love the name and logo. I think I'll be dropping in next week – sounds like a perfect way to ease into a Monday morning!
