We went into the Jolly Miller for a take away coffee and some cakes, as we know that they usually have a pretty good selection. There was an abundance of sweets to choose from, and we chose a red velvet lamington that was so bright and vibrant. The sponge was light, and the cream filling was delicious.
We also had a peanut butter caramel slice which was rich and gooey. Just the kind of naughty indulgence that I like. The coffee was really good, great value for money and the service was friendly and fast. I enjoyed this experience at The Jolly Miller, and would return to dine in.

We had a lovely Sunday brunch at The Jolly Miller in Balwyn. Service was amazing from the start!
I was SUPER impressed with the extensive vegan menu - 8 options, woohoo!
We tried 5 of them, including the VEGAN BURGER, FRITTERS, FALAFEL TACOS, ACAI BOWL + GREENS. We loved the burger and acai bowl the best!
There is ample parking available, lots of space in the café. Great for big or small groups! :)
I have been here many times in the past, but had not visited for a while and my wife and I called in yesterday and I was very impressed. We had a hot pot turmeric chai latte which was very yummy. We shared the chili eggs on a croissant and it was very good as well. I finished with a double espresso which was most enjoyable. We will be back more often. No complaints about the service which was caring.
The Jolly Miller Cafe Balwyn is wonderful. My family and I love going there! The food is great; fresh and delicious. The service is friendly and fast. We are never disappointed. You want to go here!!
Excellent service, coffee and food.
The only negative is that whilst the rest of the wait staff are dressed in appropriate attire, the female manager is always dressed in the most scantily clad and revealing clothing, obviously enjoying all the leering from the male clientele whilst also flirting loudly with them as well.
You would be mistaken for thinking you are at a thai girly bar and not in a suburban family cafe.
Went here sort of by accident - as we went to a coffee shop a couple of doors away and was told the Kitchen was closed....?? So we just walked a few more metres and this looked Ok so we tried it....
Pleasantly greeted by the girl at the counter - shown to a table, great and friendly service!
Hot chocolate was REALLY GOOD !! and they were pretty fast getting the food out.
The food was also really good - not overly large serves but enough to fill you up....
Will definitely go back again :-)
The service was good, food looks pretty and yummy!! Can't stop gushing about the onion rings that came with the brekkie bun, so crunchy and sweet! Only downfall would be the mocha. It wasn't a good mocha but it was a really good hot chocolate so not much of a downfall
Great to see they have added vegan options - there’s also vegan sweets but none are glutenfree.
I had a vegan bowl with Turmeric tofu, cauliflower, quinoa, hash brown, beet hummus, pomegranate & avo.
Also had a fresh Beet, carrot, celery & lemon juice.
I would come again.

Loveee this cafe! Have come here a couple of times with my mum and puppy! Dog friendly! We have tried the banana bread, smashed avo and Mr Big and loved them all! Lovely staff and great fresh juices. Only negative is that we have had some undercooked egg whites in our poached eggs. We’ll definitely be back 😍

What a brilliant cafe. Brunch was amazing with very large portions sizes that had a few of us stumped to finish.
Pumpkin soup was delicious and the multi grain bread nicely toasted. I had the Vegetarian breakfast and it was just what I needed. Photos don’t do the food justice.
What we didn’t know when we sat down was this whole other section with foccaacias, slices, cakes and more. Fantastic.
Staff are just fantastic and nothing was too much trouble.
Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good carparking our the front. Bookings available.
Most outstanding is the excellent customer service from the staffs working here. Astrida served us and is very attentive to customers needs’ and friendly. Chilli scramble was delicious. Kids Mac & Cheese was a little dry. Great atmosphere and great hang out place with family and friends.
Food presentation is good but taste just fine, not too impressive. But a nice place to have a brunch and catch up with friends.
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.
We visited the jolly miller cafe with our family and the service was fantastic, all the staff were very kind and helpful. I mostly enjoyed the food. I tried the Atlantic breakfast and it was delicious. i was surprised that they also had vegan options. Overall my family and i had a great experience at this cafe. This place is probably one of my favorites so far and i will for sure be back to come regularly.
Came here for brunch with the family and our furbaby and super dog-friendly.
Ordered the breakfast bruschetta and the atlantic - both were delicious.
Our pupper enjoyed a puppacino and dog donut as well.
Service was great and the staff were super friendly and hospitable. You can tell they were trained well and care about their patrons. The staff were great with our dog too and stopped by to give a few pats!
Found a local gem for sure.
Great lunch and nice to see different things on the menu. I had a vegan cauliflower steak which was unique and tasty. Great place.
Yummy food, friendly staff, we will be coming back soon
Good coffee and delicious food! We pretty much order brekky from here every weekend during lockdown. Went in person recently and staff are friendly. Love this place!
