Inside Mr Miller cafe
Mr Miller Cafe sits on a bustling corner of Miller Street in Preston, offering a casual spot where locals drop by for a solid coffee fix and a laid-back bite. With a tram stop right outside, it’s especially convenient for commuters or anyone looking to pause before continuing their day.
The café has a relaxed vibe that shifts naturally with the weather. On sunnier days, the courtyard out back becomes a preferred hangout spot—string lights overhead and a cluster of tables make it ideal for groups or anyone wanting to take a quiet moment outdoors. Locals seem to appreciate this spot not just for quick coffees but also for lingering over brunch or casual meals.
The coffee on offer covers the essentials well, from espresso through to chai lattes and cappuccinos, fitting into the neighborhood’s steady demand for good, uncomplicated caffeine. Their chai latte and cappuccino come recommended by regulars, though the coffee experience can vary just a bit in consistency. Beyond coffee, the kitchen turns out creative takes on café staples — think poached eggs alongside treats like zucchini fries, falafel bowls, and some cleverly named tacos.
Food-wise, Mr Miller leans into a blend of sweet and savory with items like pancake stacks and chips featuring prominently. For a snack or small meal, the falafel bowl or truffle croquettes have drawn praise for their balance of flavors, with the tacos a standout when the kitchen has the expected fillings available. There’s also a noteworthy smoothie that combines peanut butter and açai, which seems to have its own following.
Service here tends to be accommodating and friendly, with staff helping out with group reservations and splitting bills, which makes it practical for gatherings. The atmosphere is one of a community hub — not overly polished or pretentious, but genuinely welcoming and easygoing.
