No longer. On Wednesday, 8/27, I returned to Milant and ordered a sandwich and soup. Also purchased two "buttercrunch" candies to bring home for my wife. She wound up saving her candy to eat on Thursday. Last night, she opened the cello to discover the candy teeming with bugs. Definitely not from our home. Utterly disgusting. A complaint has been lodged with health dept. Before the “renovations,” I had been going to Milant at least once a week. No longer.

I believe in forgiveness. I have been going to Milant for years and have given them numerous chances....EVEN AFTER THE PLACE SMELLED LIKE CAT URINE. I went back after the most recent closure and the place was somewhat spruced up, but still maintained a dank feel, with traces of feline. All of this combined with their up-creeping prices and the termination of the free soup program made that visit my last. Maybe I'll try again next year. I’m Catholic. I believe in forgiveness.

It still is if your into finding pieces of metal in your soup. Thank god i spotted it in time. PS- They let a cat roam around the store in the morning. Not a very good sign for the faint of heart.

Nope never tried the treats in the window. The food tastes the same and the prices have not gone up ..... yet.
