Makeover for Milk

By Nate Hinckley

A Windsorite has bought Milk Coffee Bar with plans to bring it up-to-date without changing what made it a hit with Windsorites.

 

According to Angelo Marignani, the former owner of Milk, the bar was sold so Marignani could venture off down a different path.

 

“The key to the success of the shop is that it is in the centre core of the city,” said Arsh Bhatia,  who purchased the coffee bar.

 

“I don’t want to change too much of what already makes Milk special to the people of Windsor, but I do want to make it a more cozy place for students.

 

Bhatia’s updates to Milk will include the addition of better lighting and a fresh new interior which will give a new look to the place. According to Bhatia, the goal is to make it more comfortable for its patrons. The drinks Milk is known for will stay on the menu including absinthe and their French-pressed coffee.

 

“It’s a good thing – the revamping of Milk,” said Tom Lucier, owner of Phog Lounge across the street.  “It’s good for local businesses near us to have a re-opening which will bring more people downtown.”

 

“It’s the perfect spot to study and get a nice coffee,” said Jeremy Huange, a University of Windsor business student and Milk customer.

 

Milk will reopen later this month at its current location.
