The Jolly Miller Cafe Balwyn

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

Standard melbourne brunch items and coffee done well but also a few interesting Asian flavoured dishes. Generous portions. The lobster omelette had big chunks of lobster meat and brekkie bruschetta was a delicious veggie feast. Plenty of tables inside and outside, we usually just turn up and are seated quickly. The staff are friendly, some are quite inexperienced but eager at their job.

Quiet but very nice place for having a brunch, each dishes it’s a bit expensive, but considering the portion of the dish, the price it’s actually quite reasonable. Overall it’s place you can go and tried out!!!

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

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.
