The Mill, Alexandria

The Mill sits on Bourke Road in Alexandria, an inner-city suburb just south of central Sydney known for its mix of industry, business and dining. A characterful dining-and-lifestyle precinct housed in a converted heritage building, it brings together cafes, eateries and businesses in a stylish, characterful setting — the kind of distinctive spot that's become a genuine favourite for a meal or a coffee.

The appeal is that combination of quality food and coffee, a great range of venues and the character of a beautifully repurposed heritage building, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a coffee, a casual meal or a relaxed catch-up. The distinctive setting and quality offering have made it a real drawcard, and The Mill has clearly won over a loyal following in the inner south.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The individual venues, menus, opening hours and offerings vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality meal, a coffee or a relaxed bite in a characterful heritage setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in at The Mill in Alexandria.
