About Millstone

Tucked off Claremont Avenue, Millstone pairs Parisian-style pavement seating with a patisserie counter loaded with flaky viennoiserie and delicate layer cakes. Quentin and the team run the floor with warm neighbourhood rhythm, pulling rich espresso to balance plates of French omelettes, buttery mushrooms, and crisp hot honey halloumi. Locals know the real secret is the catering arm—effortless spreads of sweet and savoury grazing boards, complete with bespoke centerpiece cakes that arrive fresh and table-ready.

  • Artisanal Patisserie & Coffee: Freshly baked croissants, fruit tarts, and generous slices of sponge cake served alongside rich, hot espresso.
  • Turnkey Event Catering: Turnkey sweet and savoury grazing setups, delivered fresh with garnishing guidance for private events.
  • Bespoke Celebration Cakes: Custom multi-layered celebration cakes, featuring dedicated dietary adaptations including gluten-free and vegan options.
  • Neighbourhood Atmosphere: Parisian outdoor cafe tables and a cosy interior anchored by welcoming, attentive service.

  • Elevated French Brunch & Coffee

    A curated daytime brunch menu combines French-inspired classics with specialty coffee served piping hot in a welcoming setting.

    The two rich, creamy and most importantly, hot, coffees we had were the perfect start given how often these days you are likely to get one barely warm.

Signature French-inspired brunch classics

  • Corn & Zucchini Fritters

    We decided on the Corn & Zucchini Fritters and the French Omelette and weren't disappointed. The fritters are described as 'golden' and that is how they were served, alongside a chipotle tomato jam my wife could have drunk and a generous amount of avocado which was finally topped off with a perfect poached egg.

  • French Omelette

    The omelette was smooth and offered little resistance. It sat atop a generous slice of sourdough toast and was garnished with a delightful herb salad.

  • Nourish Bowl with Hot Honey Halloumi

    The nourish bowl with hot honey halloumi is my particular favourite — fresh, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. The halloumi is deliciously crispy, and I’ve never had anything quite like it before.

  • Turkish Eggs on Flatbread
