The Jolly Miller Cafe.

What a fantastic place to dine in! I’m on a strict diet and they have done everything possible to cater for my own dietary needs, from no butter on the toasties, no salts on sweet potato chips to completely omitting pink sugar sprinkles & Nutella mascarpone on the hotcakes, whatever we have requested, it would be done! We got there a bit earlier before the crowds, so the foods got served within a short period of time and it did get quite busy during the lunch time. There was no pressure from staff to free up the table even after we had finished our meals, so it is a great place to take our little ones to enjoy a meal with family and friends.

Visited here for the first time today, always drive past but we made it in for Easter Saturday.

Food was delicious and service was great from Isabella.

My daughter had the Ricotta Hot Cakes and I had the poached eggs on toast.

Coffee was good and we will come back again.

The best café in this part of town: the food is great - all your usual eggs, burgers, granolas etc plus some excellent South East Asian noodle dishes. The coffee is excellent. There's a wide selection of cakes and pastries to eat in or take away. It's big, but not noisy and the decor is fresh, simple and welcoming. Bathrooms are clean and accessible. There's under cover outdoor seating that is dog-friendly and plenty of parking. The staff are friendly and helpful . Great for breakfast, brunch and lunch any day of the week.

Stopped by to have a light meal and thoroughly enjoyed what was ordered... chicken schnitzel with panini bread coupled with house coffee 😋 👍

Lovely lovely team, always welcoming to their customers. Have been coming here for years.

Always looked after by Moses and Joe for their coffee skills!

This cafe has come a long way! The menu has really grown and the food has really developed its flavours. I ordered the salmon with soba noodles and couldn’t fault this dish. Salmon was cooked perfectly and the flavours in the soba noodles were on point. I was staring at the chicken burger and was delicious as I saw the sauce oozing out of it so that’s next on my hit list at the Jolly Miller cafe. Staff were incredibly friendly, I love that this cafe I surrounded by windows with so much natural light coming through. The desserts in the window were incredibly tempting but will have to explore those another time.

Very welcoming cafe. Staff are attentive and menu is extremely customizable. There is a large selection of sandwiches and cakes and a healthy variety of lunch options and smoothies. I love the way they make the matcha, not many places have baristas that can do it right. Great selection of kid’s menu, family friendly.

This cosy little cafe really took us by surprise. We decided to visit after stopping in to browse the sandwich bar a few weeks back and were met by the most lovely staff. After already deciding to revisit the cafe properly when we had more time, we were not disappointed in the slightest when the girls were so fun and welcoming on our return visit

The cafe itself is so warm and inviting with a cute, casual but classy decor. Coupled with the groovy tunes that have you singing along as you wait for your food, the overall atmosphere is bright but chill

The ricotta hotcakes were the perfect balance of sweet and savoury that provided not only the most exquisite experience for your taste buds, but also a tantalising mouth feel

The pad Thai was more of the same with a very generous portion of perfectly cooked noodles, juicy chicken, the most satisfying mix of textures, and a scrumptious sauce to noodle ratio that is indescribably moreish

We picked two of the fancy shakes. I had to appease my inner child and order a sugar coma in a mason jar decorated with cavities. It was equally as tasty as it was fascinating to look at. The floss is delicious and not unbearably sweet at all. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it was not too much to stomach. Would recommend to anyone looking to treat their inner child or those with external ones seeking something special with their lunch

The coffees were divine. I went out of my usual comfort zone and risked ordering an espresso and I could not have been more pleased. If ever there was a time to drink your coffee black, it is at this absolutely delightful little hidden gem of a cafe

I came here once for coffee and cake while my daughter attended ballet class… been back every weekend since. It’s the staff that really make this place. Always super friendly and attentive. I look forward to this part of my weekend on a weekly basis.

My family and friends have been coming to this cafe for a while now and its wonderful. The food is great we’ve been going through the menu trying different dishes and we have never had a bad meal yet. It’s reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly and helpful. So we will keep coming if you haven’t tried you should, you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent coffee, the best staff, delicious food. I always feel welcome and the staff go above and beyond every time! Love this place :)

Honestly one of my favorite places to get my coffee. The cafe has a warm and welcoming vibe. The music played almost makes you feel like the main character in your own life. Not to mention Gina one of the gals who work there is so warm and welcoming you’d be coming back! The coffee as well is just the perfect taste and hit to get you going in the morning.

My companion and I had breakfast here. Pictured is the Brekkie Bruschetta, a delicious pan fried cauliflower, asparagus, halloumi, mushrooms, capsicum, tomato, rainbow baby carrots, pickled onion, poached eggs on toasted ciabatta with basil pesto and balsamic glaze, while I went for the Crushed Avocado

That's avocado mixed with quinoa topped with tomatoes,
marinated feta, seeds, radish, and pomegranate served on toasted
ciabatta with poached eggs and house made minted capsicum chutney (minus the eggs).

The food was delicious and the service was good too. The meal with 2 coffees came to $50.

For those with a four legged friend, they also have a menu for dogs, which I thought was a nice touch.

Beautiful restaurant. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious, serving is generous and prices are very reasonable. The coffee is also very good. This little gem is hidden off the busy Doncaster Rd in Balwyn Nth and only a few minutes drive from Doncaster. I definitely will be back with my family and friends.

Went for a brunch on a public holiday and was greatly impressed with the service. The food options are great and need to come back again to try remaining options

Favourite Cafe! Have been to this cafe many times and it’s amazing. The food is delicious with many options for vegetarians, vegans and GF, the coffee is the best and the staff are wonderful and very friendly! Highly recommend.

I looked around for places for brunch. And being very happy to be able to find this hidden star.

I usually go to Fitzroy and Brunswick for quality meals. Didn’t realize that it could be such an inspiring experience near home. I chose the salad for a healthy light lunch. Was a bit worried that it might not fill me. But with the right amount of carbs: potato and pumpkin it’s actually filling. The pumpkin did not let me down. The quality is rly good as it’s so ripe and sweet. And it’s toasted to perfect.
I like the combination of brown rice and green lentils with seeds. With the first bite, I felt like ohhh this is interesting because of the various texture. Anyway it’s a nice and fun balance.

With the name of the dish you would expect a bit of Eastern touch. It did live up to it. The beetroot hummus is tap to the wall of the bowl. And it looks like a thick Chinese brush stroke. The mix of rainbow like plating is rly inviting.

Haven't visited this Cafe 4 a very long time . New the original owners very well . Service 2day was swift . No nonsense & food was on our table promptly. Coffee was xcellent
Can become busy . Terrific staff .

Good food, friendly staff, great coffee.
It's probably a good thing parking is restricted to 2hrs because one could easily spend longer here.

Friendly and efficient service, and the Moroccan chicken salad is amazing! A very generous serving, but I just wanted to keep eating despite being full! Beautiful flavours and presentation. Will be back☺
