We get asked about our name all the time. You’d think we’d get tired of telling people, but we don’t!
A "milk float" (two words) is a vehicle specifically designed for the delivery of fresh milk. Historically, milk floats were horse-drawn, and were common in many European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, and were operated by local dairies.
Taking inspiration from these historical vehicles that supplied communities and villages with fresh and delicious dairy, Milkfloat (one word) is our connection to farms and communities, to ingredients and process, to engagement with people and their stories.
Milkfloat is about seasonal flavors and baking fresh, a perfect cup of coffee or tea, a hand-mixed soda, and an old-fashioned milkshake. Milkfloat is also about friendly faces and warm greetings, a spacious, welcoming environment for conversations and memories, a place of respite from the constant barrage of news and politics, to settle in, take a breath, and find good reasons to celebrate each moment.
We are so thankful for your presence and patronage. You belong here.
