John Mills Himself

It’s worth hunting down this hole-in-the-wall coffee nook, taking up residency at the base of the 1917 heritage-listed warehouse it’s named after. Just follow the rich, nutty aroma of freshly brewed coffee to the entry on Elizabeth Street, where you’ll often find a line of suits gathering for their pre-work fix. John Mills churns out the wake-up potion at pace across three tandem grinders, offering a house blend, featuring single origins and special filter roast coffees. The hot chocolate deserves a shout-out, with white, milk or dark chocolate shaves decorating the velvety milk foam. Pair your poison with pastries from Chouquette and iced cakes from Neighbour in Milton for the ultimate morning excursion.
