Miller's Bread Kitchen — Restaurant in Melbourne

I recently came down from Melbourne and was eager to visit this spot. The place had an impressive selection of baked goods, ranging from freshly baked breads and buttery croissants to decadent cakes, savory pies, and pizzas

We decided to try the pizza, chicken pie, and white chocolate orange cake.

The service was excellent, while there was a bit of a rush as we were making our decisions, the server was incredibly patient and attentive.

The pizza was an absolute standout. The crust was the perfect balance of chewy and crisp, and the toppings were full of flavor. It was a well-executed pizza that didn’t rely on excessive ingredients but rather focused on quality and balance. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I was definitely impressed with the level of care that went into making it.

The chicken pie was another highlight. The pastry was light and flaky, and the filling had a beautifully aromatic flavor. The combination of chicken, bacon, and leek was rich and comforting, but not too heavy.

Originally, we ordered the strawberry chocolate cake, but unfortunately, by the time our order was being prepared, it had sold out. While we were a bit disappointed, the staff were super apologetic and went above and beyond by offering us a complimentary brownie. I really appreciated this thoughtful gesture, it’s not every day that you get such excellent customer service. The brownie itself was a treat: rich, soft, and fudgy, with just the right amount of chocolate. If you're a fan of chocolate, it's a must-try.

We also had the white chocolate orange cake, which was a delightful surprise. The cake was incredibly moist, and the pairing of orange and white chocolate was a perfect match. The orange provided a refreshing citrusy zing that complemented the creamy sweetness of the white chocolate, making for a flavorful and satisfying dessert.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at this place. Can’t wait...

I used to be a local regular here but will no longer visit. They were always able to explain that the items “may contain” traces of peanuts and nuts and now, according to a worker this morning, everything has nuts inside…not may contain traces but everything literally has nuts inside as an ingredient, including danishes that I ate even a few days prior with no nuts but only the possibility of cross contamination. I have eaten at countless bakeries around the world, especially in Melbourne and have never visited a bakery where absolutely everything has nuts inside. May contain traces is one thing, but to now actually include nuts is absurd and not required in many bakery items. For example, danishes, lime tarts, focaccia, pies and bread do not traditionally contain nuts. Trendy place with not much food knowledge since changing their kitchen staff it seems. Disappointing as it was my go to in the area since it opened, when they used to say things could be exposed and may contain traces to now actually including nuts in everything is ridiculous. This is also dangerous for people that try to order items that in most other bakeries, will not have nuts as ingredients inside. People with nut allergies on peninsula are 100% better off at Johnny Ripe and Au Croissanterie where they know that only some items contain nuts and the rest have a possibility, but do not actually contain nuts like here. So, everything really does have nuts inside or the staff member lied to me…either way, completely...

Don’t waste your time or your money. This place was incredibly overhyped on social media. I was hopeful for an enjoyable experience here, however was very quickly disappointed. After seeing positive reviews online about the chicken sandwich, I decided to take a trip down the coast to check it out. However upon arrival, couldn’t see the chicken sandwich anywhere, we asked if it was available and the staff were very rude with an abrupt no! This was quite shocking given it was lunchtime on a Monday. Since we had come such a long way we decided to select other items from the very limited menu as there was barely anything left. We were told to take a seat, to which we came across a couple empty tables with stacks of dishes that hadn’t been cleared, we had to clear them ourselves to take a seat. My pizza came out only half warmed and my partners pie was the same. For a hard and crusty pizza I was given a butter knife and a bent fork. As for the atmosphere and amenities, there’s no bathroom available for customers, pretty disappointing for customers that drove a long way. And finally, the seats were stained and a screw was left on the ground next to my table, a major OH&S risk. Overall don’t let reviews on social media fool you as I was, I certainly won’t be...
