25.01.2022 Mill wants to let you know that we are not taking bookings anymore.* We have, however, doubled our capacity inside, and are in the process of increasing seating outside. There’ll be plenty of room for you, your mate and your mate’s dog. *We will be honouring all current bookings.

25.01.2022 Using and disposing of single use coffee cups is something we’re working hard at minimising. Our coffee cups are made from certified plantation wood and plant based plastic, making them decomposable and compostable. We’re not perfect, but we’d love your continued support in making our collective footprint smaller.

23.01.2022 Call ahead and try and book a spot, but if you can’t and you need a coffee from us, @skipapp is the best way to do it - you won’t have to wait at all, and we’re providing contactless pick-up in this times of trouble. Mask up and come grab your fix.

23.01.2022 The weather may be a little disappointing these next couple of days, but our new menu will help compensate. Our brekky bake is a hot, rich mess of chickpeas, capsicum, tomatoes, spinach and eggs baked in a shakshuka sauce. Come get warm, inside and out.

23.01.2022 We’re back open every day of the week - rain, hail, shine... or snow. See you all tomorrow.

22.01.2022 Yes we’re open all day tomorrow. Yes these are crispy fried chicken wings, tossed in a homemade hot sauce, served with a blue cheese dipping sauce. And yes, this photo contains subliminal messaging. Yellow and black all week by the looks of things...

21.01.2022 Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 8am - 9pm. Mediterranean dinner menu, huge selection of local booze and your favourite staff slinging cocktails instead of coffee. If you can’t get a spot during the day there’ll be just as much room in the arvo. Walk on down; we’ll see you Friday night.

01.01.2022 At Drive we pride ourselves on being as low-waste as possible. During these times it’s especially difficult, but something we can consistently do is recycle our used coffee grounds into our, and your, gardens. It may not be the best time of year to get out into the backyard, but all you have to do is throw a bag or two over some soil and the results will speak for themselves. Grab a coffee on your way out!
