Millmans is described as a cozy, welcoming brunch spot with a classic vibe and standout pancakes, bacon, and coffee, plus fresh bread from a local bakery that adds a real extra touch. Service is consistently praised as friendly, attentive, and warm, helping create a comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere. The menu items like fried chicken, sandwiches, omelettes, and sides are enjoyed when well seasoned and thoughtfully prepared, though some visits note inconsistency, with some dishes feeling ordinary or overpriced for what is offered. A few reviews call Millmans a hidden gem or a must try for brunch, while others caution that value can be hit or miss and the prices can be steep for simple fare. Overall, Millmans tends to deliver delicious pancakes and a charming setting with strong staff, offering a great brunch experience when the kitchen aligns with the service.
This little brunch gem is small & quaint, but big on charm. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. I had a lovely chat with the owner-super friendly & welcoming-& the rest of the staff were just as great.
As for the food: the pancakes are a must. They were thick & fluffy, served Quebec maple syrup. We also tried Le Millman, & it did not disappoint. The potatoes, seasoned with everything but the bagel spice, were a standout, & the bread was incredibly fresh. Scrambled eggs to perfection. One tip: if you're getting the bacon (which you should), ask for it extra crispy since it's quite thick.
All in all, a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be coming back!
Food was delicious, potatoes were small & crispy maybe a bit salty. Thick cut bacon with a nice chew. Eggs were well executed. Service was friendly but terrible. Constantly looking for the waitstaff, never came to refill coffee. I'll definitely be coming back to try the other menu items. Here is hoping I'll have a better overall experience. Washrooms were small but clean.
Fried Chicken sandwich was under seasoned & bland. The breakfast potatoes & the coffee was good. The service was slow, we waited over 40m. I think they had a new guys in the kitchen. Overall, for 25$ tax in it is not worth it.
This place is nice. I sat outside & was handed the menu. It says the meals offered but there's no description listed which leave you wondering what you're going to get. We need more details put in the menu..i had to ask what the Millman's was. That is annoying for any client to have to ask about every single item. I ordered just that this time, the Millmans.The eggs were very good as was the bacon. There was no jam or butter served with the bread which would have been better. The patatoes were good but way too finely chopped..it hives the impression that wanted to stretch their profitability a little too much..it felt like there was no potatoe on the plate at all..i finished eating this meal & it was good just not copious enough for the price paid, It wasn't a generous plate but it was tasty. 2 pieces of bacon is a little minimalist although of very good. quality..it lacked the missing 3rd piece.I know bacon's expensive to offer that but still. After eating the Millman's though, I was still kind of hungry. The coffee..ohh boy..for some reason it was very very watery & acidic & very bitter..it tasted like an inexpensive coffee blend..this is maybe a question of personal taste..was told it was a Brazilian blend..tasted more like dishwater coffee than anything found in Brazil..the taste was not to my liking at all for some reason although the reviews were quite nice about it..I asked & it might be how the blend is torrified.. I tried adding more sugar but nothing made it taste better.It gave me upset stomach so I passed on the refill. Maybe i got the bottom of the coffee pot or something. I know that certain restaurants try to save money on the blend they offer clients & cut products to look pretty on a plate..but the end result is disgusting coffee to go with a so so meal thst isn't memorable or distinctive & no client wants that. If you go on the cheap for certain things for profit, someone will notice & might not come back. The 2 bad things of this visit, bad coffee & minced potatoe pieces so small you have a feeling your eating spoonfuls of air. I would try this place again, the service is good. I think i'll go for pancakes a next time & no coffee because that blend is just horrible in my opinion. This felt overpriced for what I got this time. They need to offer decent quantity & size of hash browns for the cost. I know people like how beautiful this place is, & it us very nice but i rather have a decent quality of good at a decent price. The food & service are the most important things. I hate to say it but the coffee & portions is much better for the cost & value in other restaurants really closer by on the Well. I don't know if the hype about this place is justified. It seems overrated for what it is.

Very cute & intimate interior. The service was really good & friendly! The potatoes are really tasty & the pancakes are not too sweet & fluffy. I recommend this place for a casual brunch
Got the millman meal & the pancakes. Waited about 45 minutes. They forgot about us at our table (they came up to us & said'do you want to order anything else' when all we had was an ice tea & tea. They told us they were out of potatoes.. which is acceptable.. but the pancakes had a hair in them. Even though we weren't charged for them because of it.. I can safely say we will not be coming back & they made an awful first impression.
They are understaffed & the space is pretty small, so there are long waits, but the food is worth the wait! I had the pancakes & the potatoes. Potatoes are amazing, pancakes are good but not as fluffy as expected. The grilled cheese & breakfast sandwich looked incredible. I'll be back.
Heard a lot about this place & finally got the chance to try it.
I tried "The Millman" breakfast plate & everything was on point. The thick-cut bacon & beautifully seasoned potatoes were amazing!
Will be going next week to try their pancakes.
