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.

Sarah T.Google Review

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.

James K.Google Review

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.

Michelle R.Google Review

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.

Liam P.Google Review

Such a great neighbourhood spot. The bread is clearly made with real craft and the whole atmosphere feels like a proper local. So glad we have this in Thornbury.

Came for the coffee, stayed for the tarts. Honestly one of the best little bakeries I've found in Melbourne. Fresh, unpretentious, and always delicious.
