One of the last genuine milk bars in the Bendigo area, this provides a nostalgic flashback. It is found off the main road in White Hills on the way through to Eaglehawk. There are friendly staff if you have any trouble and a good assortment of lollies and hot food available. There is also a range of grocery items, some of which can't usuallu be found in the mainstream stores. Highly recommended!

The Workers were very nice and so friendly. I got the lady to make me a burger with the lot with a heap of extras on it, and she just charged me for normal price, which was 12 bucks, she should of charged me 15 bucks or more. She was a Legend! And the burger tasted Amazing! Highly recommended

This little gem is one of the only really milkbars left around, all the usual suspects, fried food, lollies, ice creams and fantastic homely service and they always look after my little ones! The schnitzel cheese and gravy rolls are 10/10 hearty juicy crunchy chicken, and the absolute perfect gravy consistency, one of my absolute go to spots for comfort food
