About Mary Miller Cafe

A short tram ride up Nicholson Street brings you to an airy, plant-draped sanctuary where morning classics take a sharp global turn. Brunswick East regulars come for the pulled pork Benny stacked over crisp hash browns, or a bowl of bibimbap paired with an iced strawberry matcha. Come Friday and Saturday twilight, the dining room pivots to Sri Lankan small plates—crispy lamb pan rolls with spiced ketchup, fiery tuna thel dala on rice crackers, and tamarind-glazed chicken wings. Out front, the sunlit pavement tables keep things unhurried with bowls of water for neighborhood dogs.

  • Inventive Brunch Fare: Tender pulled pork served on hash browns alongside bibimbap and miso avocado.
  • Weekend Sri Lankan Dinners: Friday and Saturday night tapas featuring lamb pan rolls, tuna thel dala, and hopper-friendly curries.
  • Relaxed Neighborhood Setting: Sunlit pavement seating welcoming dogs alongside a plant-filled dining room.
  • Custom Event Catering: Tailored private menus and attentive morning spreads for celebrations and work functions.
