We've noticed a few veg*n friends recommending Tyler's Milk Bar in their social media, and it was a convenient spot for breakfast when we had some Preston errands to run. This milk bar is whole-heartedly nostalgic, with pastel and retro decorations and op-shopped plates. The menu includes meat but is very veg-friendly, with mock-meat and mock-dairy substitutions available for just about everything except for the chicken toastie and chicken roll. Gluten-free options are also well-labelled and abundant.
We were both attracted to the green eggs & ham ($14), and ultimately Michael ordered it with a side of mushrooms ($6). These start with dense, homely crumpets, then work up to thick mock-ham/bacon, sunny-side-up eggs and then green sauce. It's a cute, tasty set-up and pleasantly distinct from the usual brunch menus around town.
I ate a deceptively filling little bacon and egg English muffin ($12.50). This was another homely baked bread, with mock-bacon that might've been even thicker, a fried egg, some cheddar, and a memorable tomato-capsium relish. It paired perfectly with a tangy orange juice ($4.80).
Tyler's menu is an appealing one for the cooler months ahead, with several toasties and a baked potato also on offer. The counter's typically bursting with sweet treats too. It'll be top of our to-eat list when we next have a morning in Preston.

656 Plenty Rd, Preston

Accessibility: There's a step up on entry. The interior is densely packed with furniture, and there's a courtyard that we didn't see, nor did we visit the toilets. We ordered at our table and paid at a low counter.
This looks like a nice place for a quick lunch - I have my eye on the plant based bacon - will keep it in mind for when I am in Preston!
