“At least half of our beverage sales are milk-based drinks as opposed to straight espressos and brewed coffee,” says Nathan Shelton, co-owner of Cultivar Coffee.
Despite the countless gallons cafes steam through, milk is all too often overlooked. Customers are more likely to know the name of the coffee roasting company a cafe uses than the name of the dairy that produces their milk. Likewise, many cafe operators – while having no problem slurping through cup after cup to find the perfect coffee to feature on their pour-over bar – select their milk simply based on what’s cheap or what their food purveyor distributes.
Lately, that's changing, thanks in large part to a dairy just outside of Waco. If you live in Dallas and go out for coffee, you’ve likely enjoyed the fruits of the Miller family’s labors. Over the last few years, Mill-King Market & Creamery has become the go-to for Dallas cafes like Cultivar Coffee, Noble Coyote, Davis Street Espresso, Houndstooth and more.
