Milky Lane brings back its $15 Carbonara Cob Loaf due to popular demand

A popular restaurant known for its monstrous creations has brought back its best-selling menu item: an indulgent Carbonara Cob Loaf.

Sydney’s Milky Lane had broken every food sales record in the cafe’s history when it first introduced the creamy cob loaf in 2021, selling more than 3,000 pieces in just three weeks.

Priced at a mere $15, customers can get their hands on the crispy bread loaf filled with cheesy fettuccine carbonara in stores now.

‘You guys went absolutely nuts when we dropped this a year ago,’ said Milky Way in an Instagram post. ‘And with one month left of Winter, it was time to bring this back!’

A cob loaf is a classic Aussie party snack made by filling the centre of a hollow round loaf of bread with a creamy cheese filling – and adding pasta to the mixture has been dubbed a ‘game changer’ by fans. 

The restaurant chain revealed that the Carbonara Cob Loaf would unfortunately not be available in Perth – but the Western Australian city seemingly has bigger things in store.

‘Sadly it’s not in Perth, but it’s everywhere else!’ said Milky Lane.

‘But don’t worry our huge Perth fan base, we got some HUGE things coming for you very soon.’

Sharing images of the mouthwatering dish on Instagram, the café wrote: ‘This needs less description than anything ever before – it speaks for itself.’

‘The carbonara is cheesy and creamy and the cob loaf has been put under the oven to ensure it’s super crunchy but the biggest question remains, are you going to eat it with a fork or break off the bread and scoop it out in one go?’ 

Customers are urged to visit the nearest venue before the end of the month because Milky Lane hasn’t confirmed if the best-selling dish will become a permanent menu item. 

The meal is available at all restaurant locations in New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT.

After news of the special menu item was shared on social media, customers eager to try the dish flooded the comments.

‘I need this in my life,’ one person wrote. ‘It looks so creamy!’

Another added: ‘Oh my GOD.’

Some dubbed the dish as ‘unreal’ while others were disappointed the café hasn’t launched nationally.

‘Perth needs to have this!’ 

‘Why would you get me all excited and then not bring it to Perth for the second time?!’ a fourth pleaded.
