"We visited Milky Lane on 4 January in the evening. It was good to see families out enjoying the summer evening. We got a table easily and the waiter attended to us fairly quickly. We ordered waffles which did not disappoint- it looked exactly like the picture. Tasted great too. It is a bit pricy though. Two waffles set us back R100.. Will save Milky Lane as a treat not as a regular."

"Excellent experience as always. After tasting a Disappointing Death By Chocolate Waffle the day before from another branch in PMB. It was such a Great relief to find Comfort in ordering the exact Waffle at the Liberty Midlands Mall branch as always and Have the Waffle made to perfection The Waffle( Death By Chocolate) I had was Crisp & Golden on the outside with a Tasty, tender inside & the toppings which where balanced out. This Branch never disappoints.....no matter how Busy or Quiet they are, the Staff are always,Professional, Helpful & Always have huge smiles on the faces. The branch is always Spotless, very Neat and Clean. From the many years of visiting the Milky Lane Liberty Midlands Mall branch, They have always been Consistent in making the Best Waffles, ALL THE TIME To the Staff and Management at this branch: Keep up the Great Service and Quality of Desserts We love it"

"Really enjoyed my little ice cream date with a friend. Had a rather pleasant experience. The staff was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We also thoroughly enjoyed our ice creams. The only issue I had was the table had some sticky tape remnant which I think management should attend to. I’m just OCD about that sort of thing. Nonetheless, I had a good experience ."
