Pickles Milk Bar aren't sitting still, with a slow, subtle rotation of options on their printed menu and high rotation of specials on their texta-ed shop tiles. I picked up a couple of new-to-us options for a weekday lunch.
On the left is the already-rotated-out Honey Boo Boo special ($18), where a chicken schnitz is teamed with slaw, honey mustard and pickled jalapenos. It's a good combo, but didn't surpass the vegan schnitzel we know well from Nico's.
On the right is our first foray into the breakfast sandwiches. The Hot Breakfast #2 ($15) is overall a sweet, smoky and saucy (but not too sloppy) affair with thin-cut smoked tofu bacon, a hash brown, cheese, pickled onions, mayo, bbq sauce, hot sauce, and garlic butter.
Everything's vegan and nothing thus far has been a disappointment. We're lucky to have Pickles so close by, ready to brighten up any work-from-home day.

You can also read about one, two of our previous visits to Pickles. It has also been reviewed favourably by That Vegan Dad.

Accessibility: There is a small lip on the door and a relatively spacious interior with a low counter. There is a line of bench seating along the wall, with small low tables and low backless stools. I ordered, paid and picked up my food over a mid-height counter. I haven't visited the toilets.
