I visited The Jolly Miller this morning around 9am and, unfortunately, I walked away very disappointed. The café itself felt quite disorganised despite not being busy at all. I ordered a medium oat milk mocha and was charged $9.00, which honestly shocked me. I completely understand that alternative milk and a mocha can add to the cost, but this is by far the most I’ve ever paid for a coffee — and for that price, I expected something exceptional.
The cup size was underwhelming, especially considering the cost. But the biggest letdown was the coffee itself. As someone who knows and appreciates a good coffee, this was one of the worst I’ve had in a long time. There was barely any hint of coffee flavour — it was overpowered by chocolate that didn’t taste pleasant, leaving a strange aftertaste that reminded me of watered-down or poor-quality milk.
At this price point, I’d expect a well-balanced, smooth coffee with depth and flavour — not something that tastes like sweetened hot milk. It’s disappointing, especially given how many great local cafés in the area consistently deliver high-quality coffee for much less.
Sadly, I won’t be returning. I hope the café takes this feedback on board, as it’s a nice space with potential, but right now, it’s just not worth the time or money.

Busy suburban cafe with an extensive menu. Food was tasty and our orders came out quickly. Coffees were exceptional quality ( although one had a wiry hair in it- replaced quickly by staff) Huge selection of beautiful cakes and desserts.
We did have difficulties with the online booking system( wouldn't let me book for 5 people) so I rang to reserve a table. Sadly when we turned up, the table hadn't been reserved....but we were lucky that there was an available spot!

I came here with my son and I got really good customer service when ordering and there was so thoughtful when they brought over some thing to colouring for my son. I also really liked the nice touch where my son had the kids pancake and they kept the ice cream separate from the pancake so it didn’t melt! It’s extra dishes to wash but I loved the thoughtfulness.

Definitely a 5 star as the staffs were very friendly and proactive 👍
We have a very fantastic breakfast experience, the ricotta hotcake was scrumptious , dirty chai latte was perfectly done, and flat white was very good!

Jolly Miller was our first stop for the morning as we neared some hearty food to start the day!. It was a good spot for family and service was great. Again, a nice little pick me up for the morning! We'd recommend it for anyone looking for some chill coffee vibes.
