Our Story
A family-run journey of passion, tradition, and the love of good food.
Welcome to Millflour
Nestled on the beautiful Figtree Farm in Hillcrest, Millflour is more than just a bakery and café - it's a destination for all seasons, offering a taste experience for everyone.
From our humble beginnings as a small bakery, we've grown into a beloved community hub that combines artisan baking with bistro-style dining. Our mission has always been simple: to create memorable experiences through fresh, high-quality food in a tranquil countryside setting.
What started with a passion for sourdough bread has blossomed into a full-service café and bakery operation. Today, we're proud to serve our community through multiple touchpoints - from the main café offering wood-fired pizzas and bistro meals, to our coffee bar for quick service, and our mobile wagon bringing coffee to events across the farm.
At the heart of Millflour is our bakery, where we craft everything from our famous sourdough breads and rusks to custom celebration cakes. We believe in using premium ingredients, supporting local suppliers, and never compromising on quality or taste.
Whether you're a local family looking for a kid-friendly meal with our "make-your-own pizza bar," a foodie seeking unique experiences like our wine tastings and art classes, or someone planning a special event, Millflour welcomes you with open arms and warm hospitality.
