We study how the indirect observation of dark matter substructures in the Milky Way, using recent stellar stream studies, translate into constraints for different dark matter models. We obtain the lower bounds $m_{\rm WDM} > 3.2\,{\rm keV}$ and $m_{\rm FDM} > 5.2\times 10^{-21}\,{\rm eV}$ on the warm dark matter and fuzzy dark matter particle mass, respectively. When dark matter is coupled to a dark radiation bath, we find that kinetic decoupling must take place at temperatures higher than $T_{\rm kd} > 0.7\,{\rm keV}$. We also discuss future prospects of stellar stream observations.
