A hidden cafe in Carlton known for its signature matcha crepe cake! Although I live nearby, it took me awhile to find this place (go up grey stairs from Bouverie Street). The cafe itself was beautifully decorated and very cozy inside - a perfect place for a coffee date.
Matcha crepe cake was fluffy without being too sweet. It was right in the sweet spot where sweetness and bitterness of matcha came together wonderfully - very delicate and well balanced. I also liked how it was kept super light and moist and went ridiculously well with latte. I'd love to visit again to try other cakes they had!
Thanks for the review from angel, make easier to find the shop, easy on street parking, if only for take away 15 minutes parking will be enough, Small but cozy shop，quiet bit a variety there, colourful, brought taro, green tea ones, not too sweet and creamy, good for change to Asian fusion cake 🍰
Jasmine tea Mille crepe: light floral taste, not too sweet
Flat white: a bit too milky/ creamy but was pretty smooth
Hot chocolate: not bad but too sweet for me
Previously had a whole matcha adzuki cake: strong matcha flavour and not too sweet
Bit expensive but good place to sit down and have afternoon tea with friends
Location was hard to find, had to go up a flight of stairs
My friend got me some cakes the other day.
We had strawberry, taro, matcha, and cookiesncream in order from fave to least fave.
They're all really fluffy and not too sweet, matcha tasted tad bit artifical though and the cookies one was a bit dry but I really liked the other two. I think taro is definitely something to try out!

Love their cakes! So delicious and yum! I definitely enjoyed both flavours I’ve tried: pandan coconut and tiramisu

I felt like having a cake after brunch and I remembered there’s a popular crepe cake shop in the area, so I decided to go there. Mille and B Patisserie is not exactly easy to find. Even on google maps it doesn’t show you exactly how to get to the right location. But once you find the cute little café, it’s all the worthwhile as the crepe cake is delicious, highly recommended.
🔆LOCATION🔆
Mille and B Patisserie café is situated within the university district of Carlton hidden inside he Swanston Square apartment complex. The actual address of number 28 Bouverie Street is the main entrance to the residential lobby, however the public cannot enter through this entrance.
To the left of the lobby entrance, there is the car park entrance. Walk pass this and you will see a lift and stairwell that winds up and around. Take the stairs and go up to the upper level. As you exit you will see open space area with lots of greenery. This is the inner space of the apartment complex and the café is directly on the right hand side.
Note: Supposedly you can enter via the second residential lobby area on Swanston Street but currently this is closed off due to construction.
The café itself is small yet quaint and modern. Seating is very limited but will fit up to maximum of about 16 people.
🔆SERVICE🔆
For a Friday afternoon, it was rather quiet with only a few customers which was quite nice as the café is quite small. It was relaxing sitting enjoying the nice scenery of the ‘Winter Garden’ outside.
Staff is friendly and attentive.
🔆MENU/PRICE🔆
Most mille crepe cakes costs $8.50 each slice.
Flavours include:
Taro
Durian
Sweet Salted Caramel
Black Sesame Charcoal
Pandan & Coconut
Strawberry Milk
Jasmine Tea Honey
Matcha & Adzuki
🔆VERDICT🔆
There was so many different crepe cake flavours, I was rather undecided. I asked the sales assistant for advice and she said the most popular flavours is Taro, Pandan & Coconut and Matcha. Even these 3 flavours sounded amazing. I finally settled on the matcha crepe cake.
The matcha green tea flavour was light yet distinct, there was light layers of matcha pastry cream and also a layer of Chantilly cream topped with sweet read bean with matcha chocolate and matcha flavoured ganache! What a delight. The 20 layers of crepes was very pretty and super thin. Delicious!
I was lucky enough to have one of these beautifully crafted Taro crepe cakes. Each layer is perfect with cream and taro in between each layer. The taste is so delicious, sweet, strong and the crepe adds the perfect texture. A perfect place for a crepe cake.
The sweets are so aesthetically pleasing. The cakes are not too sweet- perfect when paired with coffee or a cup of tea. I had the strawberry and matcha. I couldn’t resist also boxing up a box of macaroons along with the lychee and mango cake too! Not shown here as my parents gobbled it all up. Winning!
Btw really grateful to the staff. I got a bit lost finding this gem. You can call them to rescue you or look for the big 17 above the building and a set of stairs. 😂
Probably the best crepe cakes in Melbourne! I love the crepe cakes here and how much flavour variety they have! We tried a selection of different flavours, and my favourite had to be the Taro one. The ratio of crepe to cream is perfect, and it’s very light and not too sweet either. The only thing is that it’s a little bit on the expensive side, but they use high quality ingredients, and crepe cakes are quite hard to make, so I can understand why. Will definitely be back to try their other flavours!
Really hard too look for this placed . And selection choice not too much , the Mille crepe quality average only . The dining atmosphere not bad ^^ , price reasonable #
Have been hearing my friends talking about the crepe. And finally I got to try... I bought hazelnut chocolate flavour n taro flavour.. Omg, the Hazelnut chocolate flavour was sinfully delicious!!! Taro tastes good too .
The crepe is super duper thin!! N yes, that's what you call CREPE!
I will come back for other flavours.
My partner got me a birthday cake from this place and it was amazing.
It was Hojicha(roasted green tea) flavour but I think the taste can be a bit more sweeter, other than that, it was beautiful.
Would love to try another flavour too.
First visit was few years ago which was hard to find this hidden germ in the city, but it was all worth it. We we’re impressed by the presentation, flavor, and texture. It became one of my favorite places in Melbourne when I feel like afternoon tea. Got these pieces as birthday cake this year, the black sesame was the best in my opinion. Taro was not as good as expected though, but earl grey was very nice except for the top gelatin made layer was not my cup of tea. Tiramisu was not bad! And I heard from my friend that the staff was very friendly when they picked up.
Usually not a fan of crepe cakes, but these are really nice and soft. They are not too sweet either! We had the tiramisu and cookies n cream, and would say that the tiramisu is the winner out of the two.
The macaron is kinda sweet, but the taste is not bad. Bought a packet of cookies and they are delicious!!!
Will be returning to buy their shokupan next time. Apparently they are only available on Fridays and Saturdays.
Dining in is possible in the courtyard area.
these crêpe cakes are to die for! super light yet flavourful! i tried the mango one and the earl grey one and they were delicious. their drinks are very well made too. everything is very impressive. service is wonderful too! this is a hidden gem and i can’t recommend it highly enough! (we all sat on one table just for the photo, there’s definitely more seats and tables haha!)
This cute little cake shop was well and truly hidden. Initially it was difficult to find - however, when I did I was glad. Awesome, fresh cakes, prepared by pastry chefs that are meticulous. So much passion and care has gone into creating their cakes and it really shows.
Loved the crepe cake and the coffee was perfect! Service was good too. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.
Place is hidden. The cakes are beautiful and very well presented. The taro was my favourite one. The price is unfortunately quite expensive but I'm glad I've tried this place.
