MI L L ROAD SPOT L IGHT
The newest addition to Mill Road’s bustling line-up of independent cafes, you’ll find Scott’s where Golden Curry used to sit, on the corner of Mill Road and Kingston Street. There’s lots to tempt on the menu, beginning bright and early at 8am daily with breakfast, which includes hearty shakshuka, avocado smash and “The Big”: a stonking Full English featuring Mill Road Butchers’ sausages and bacon, homemade baked beans, and thick slices of sourdough. The lunch menu takes its inspiration from New York deli-style sandwiches and salads, while the evening yields sourdough pizza with a mouthwatering range of toppings, some of which take ingredients and inspiration from other traders along Mill Road (ours is a ‘Culinaris’, please). The coffee’s sourced from London’s excellent Caravan roastery, and there are cocktails available too, making it a great spot for any time of day. SCOTT ’S
TRADIZIONE
An in-the-know gem, Tradizione is the place for affordable, authentic Italian food. Serving steaming bowls of pasta, lasagne, focaccia sandwiches and world-beating pizza, all in a friendly setting, its fans ensure this restaurant is generally packed. You can also bring your own booze – pick up a bottle of something tasty from Bacchanalia up the road and enjoy delicious food and drink on a shoestring.
TOM’S CAKES
This smart little bakery and cafe is helmed by the talented Tom Dolby, who built up a name for himself selling his delicious wares at farmers’ markets for years before opening up the original Tom’s Cakes in St Ives. A resounding hit with locals,
the bakery went from strength to strength, leading him to open a second branch on Mill Road in 2016. He transformed what was the loveably scruffy CB1 into a sleek, modern café that locals adore for its gorgeous cakes, cloud-like meringues and macarons, freshly baked sausage rolls and oversized scones.
