Very exciting news! We’re offering our new savory menu all day starting next Friday, October 23. The menu will be available for dine-in from 8am-5:30pm.

*We’ll be closing the main dining room Thursday, October 22nd to prepare for this new launch— but don’t fear, our to-go room will be open 7 days a week starting Monday, October 19th for all your pastry & coffee needs*

We created a menu that fits the bill at any time of day with dishes such as the classic European breakfast with our Durum Sourdough served with Isigny Butter, cornichon, and seasonal jam or classic Yogurt Parfait with fresh fruit, Milli granola, and local seasonal jam.

Our house Sourdough Tartines make the perfect snack: an herbed smoked whitefish, followed by a concord and sunbutter toast with whipped mascarpone— to our @row7seeds collaboration of Honeypatch Squash and Eggplant Tartine with whipped goat’s milk ricotta and buckwheat honey.

For a more substantial meal we’ll be providing focaccia sandwiches featuring @fourstarmushrooms seared king trumpets or a basque style braised chicken. As well as an all time classic with the Milli touch— Jambon Beurre. All paired with a @verticalacresindiana Mixed Greens salad.

We’re excited to welcome you into this next evolving chapter of Milli.

Stay tuned. ✨ by @millibymetric

Our new mushroom danish, available at Milli this Friday, highlights the beautiful and locally-grown @fourstarmushrooms that we keep stocked. The danish has whipped feta and Herb de Provence cheese, housemade hot pepper jam, and a pop of color and texture from house pickled beets. Four Star is a locally-owned, urban mushroom farm located off of W Fulton Street with sustainable practices, which aligns with our values as a Certified B Corporation.

Please join us for a sample at Four Star Mushrooms during the Chicago Architecture Center’s 16th annual Open House Chicago, which takes place this Saturday October 17- Sunday, October 18 from 10am-3pm. by @millibymetric

Our Nitro Cold Brew is rich, smooth, and balanced with that signature velvety texture. It’s going to deliver the caffeine- served on tap behind the bar, or in cans to-go! We use the @metriccoffee medium-roast Classic Cold Brew, and our version is clean, sweet, and vibrant. We source high-quality coffee from small producers, in Latin America for this case, and roast with care so that our cold brew stays consistent all year round. by @millibymetric

Our naturally leavened Demi-Baguettes are as classic as it gets! They’re made with @janiesmill Durum and AP, and are available by 10am daily in packs of two. These are perfect with cheese and charcuterie or for sandwiches at home. by @millibymetric

Our iced Vermouth & Strawberry Creme is perfect for the lingering late afternoon and early evening hours that are meant to be spent unwinding with friends.

We’re proud to serve @cuevanueva on draft behind the bar. Their Vermut Rojo is made from a blend of Garnacha Blanca and Airén grapes, and it’s warm and gently spiced but cut with citrus and light bitterness. The strawberry creme can be mixed in for a boozy cream soda effect. We’ll meet you at the bar! by @millibymetric

Our Cheesy Corn Danish captures the moment between late summer and early fall. We’re using @mickklugfarms corn to make a Korean Corn Cheese-inspired pastry with laminated layers that stack up tall.

Corn, mozzarella and warming gochugaru comprise the filling— topped with local cherry tomatoes, and housemade togarashi, an umami Japanese spice blend. This version will last a while longer before it turns into a new savory mushroom danish later this fall! by @millibymetric

Our Durum Sourdough loaves are transitioning into the fall season and two new flavors are available now by 9am daily, in addition to our classic.

We have a new Spicy Pickled Cherry Bomb Pepper and Cheddar Loaf with tarragon and honey. Its pictured cross section has mesmerizing pockets of melted cheese! We also have an Almond Oat Porridge loaf with dried apple, oats, and warming spices, which smells just like autumn. Come by and grab a loaf to bring home! by @millibymetric

Meet one of our newest additions: the Cherry Lapsang Squiggle. This playful pastry is coated in @volitionteaco Lapsang tea sugar, which lends nostalgic notes of pine smoke, plum, and nutmeg.

A @valrhonausa Guanaja 70% Chocolate Namelaka is piped on top with housemade cherry jam and sweet pickled cherries. Celery powder and pink peppercorn are the finishing touches. by @millibymetric

A glimpse of a day in the life at Milli! There’s always the option to stop for a moment and enjoy a plated pastry and coffee, or to swing by the to-go room on the weekends. It’s open every Friday- Sunday from 7am- 2pm with pre-orders available online through Toast. We have chilled wine and coffee by the bag ready for you there as well.

These pastries have remained on the menu since opening. The Canele is a signifier of our pastry program: it’s elevated and classic, yet made with attention to detail so that the cultured butter and rum flavors shine through. Our Paradise Bun has the unique warming spice flavors from Grains of Paradise, but the jam and compote rotates seasonally, so it always feels new. Our @valrhonausa Pain au Chocolate and Salty Rye Chocolate Chip Cookie are classics for a reason. by @millibymetric

We are thrilled to be included in not one, but two recent @bonappetitmag stories! We made the list of the ‘Best Little Treats to Try Across the US’, due to our “masterful laminated creations” helmed by Chef @__louise_turner. We rotate our rye eclairs and choux buns with the seasons, but the Yuzu and Jasmine Eclair of this past winter caught our visitor’s attention. This eclair brought some citrus and whimsy to the colder months, with layers of floral Jasmine tea pastry cream, olive oil cake, bright yuzu gel, Italian meringue, and Jasmine powder.

We were also included in a list of the seven best new daytime spots in the US, “making the case that breakfast, lunch, and happy hour plans can be just as nourishing and thrilling as dinner.” We designed and built this space together, hoping it would become a welcoming place to gather at any time of day. Thank you so much for stopping in @joeybear85 and @kateakassin ! by @millibymetric

Our pour overs are available either hot or instantly iced by flash brew. This is a great way to try the rotating @metriccoffee that we serve at the bar. Our current selections: the Ethiopia Worka Chelbesa with notes of nectarine, Crispin apple, and clover honey, and Ninga Hills with notes of nectarine, red grape, and butterscotch. These coffees are carefully sourced and roasted right here at Milli. by @millibymetric
