“Absolutely love this place! The sourdough is incredible — that crust, that crumb. I come in every Saturday morning without fail. The staff are always so warm and welcoming.”
“Best bánh mì north of the CBD. Fresh, flavourful and at a great price. The sausage rolls are a close second — flaky and absolutely delicious. A Thornbury gem.”
“We had Millhouse cater our team morning tea and it was a hit! The pastry spread looked beautiful and everything tasted fantastic. Will definitely use them again.”
“My go-to cafe before work. Coffee is always on point and the pies are the real deal. Genuinely lovely people running a genuinely great little bakery.”
