reimagined dining.

Down home food. Family vibes. Gathering Space.

THE roots

“Several years ago I was inspired by a dear friend to chase my long time dream of being a chef.  What started as pop-up dinners in back yards turned into an actual brick-and-mortar restaurant, named after my home town, Millport NY (population 300).
Opening in such unusual times gave me the unique opportunity to do things differently. To think out of the box. To make my own rules.
Over the last 4 years I have slowly cultivated this thing into a new business model for a new age of dining:
Weathering the fragility of post-covid & family restaurant life with my kind of food; plentiful & rustic.
A new culture: respecting life balance and finding creative ways to be profitable in a time when it is nearly impossible.
We believe in family, community & caring for our planet… All while honoring the memory of my late friend Susan.
With fierce values and abundant ambition, I am proud as hell of how we have survived & thrived.
Millport is home. Welcome home!”
Chef Alynn

cafÉ/market

For several years before the corner of 13th & Donax was Millport, it was a breakfast spot loved by many. We knew we had to offer something special for those long-time patrons.
After 3 years of grinding all week, we realized we needed to find a more sustainable and less traditional business model. We decided to pivot Millport Cafe being a weekend hotspot and sharing our space during the week with other small businesses and entrepreneurs who need a home.
Millport Cafe is now open Friday-Sunday, 9am-2pm while our strategic partners are open in our space Monday-Thursday. (See more about this under the “Vendors” tab.
On the weekends, come enjoy delicious pastries baked in house daily (all gf).
We proudly serve the freshest roast by Visitor Coffee, a small local business we are thrilled to have teamed up with.
Our seasonal menu features sandwiches, bowls, sweets & a couple of Millport faves. And get this…. everything is or can be made gluten free!
We also created a little market with things we love: cards, novelty items, pickled veggies, hot sauces & more. You can now shop in our market 7 days a week!

  • GF PASTRIES

    Baker Emmi is the mastermind behind our pastry program. She has spent countless hours creating an amazing lineup of sweet treats that you would never believe are gluten free.
    Scones, Cinnamon Rolls, Tarts, Muffins & Cake are a few of our popular morning delectables.
    All pastries are baked daily and
    available until sold out.
    Custom orders welcome.

  • Breakfast & lunch

    Chef Alynn’s plentiful rustic breakfast will leave you delighted & full. Incorporating color, fresh herbs & her bold house seasonings, these dishes pack beauty & flavor, while maintaining a down home vibe. Try one of our open-faced Avocado Toasts. Our popular Veggie Bowl is loaded with local produce & a delicious curry aioli. And the Fisher sandwich on a Big City Bagel has NY vibes written all over it.

  • COFFEE

    We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Visitor Coffee Roaster to bring you an other-worldly café experience. Visitor roasts fresh beans in National City by the owners, our good pals, Will & Seth. Both Imperial Beach natives.
    Pop by and grab a cup of joe. Or choose from our espresso drink menu. All our drinks are available decaf! Also grab a bag of beans from the Millport market.

bakery

When we opened Millport we never imagined becoming a go-to spot for gluten free pastries, but here we are!
A few years ago Chef Alynn turned to a gluten free lifestyle. It didn’t take long to realize that dining out is scary. The options are limited and forget finding baked goods that aren’t like cardboard. We saw an opportunity.
Emmi, baker & co-owner of Millport, went on a mission to create amazing pastries that no one would recognize as gluten free. And so, our pastry counter became filled with huge chewy cookies, moist bundt cakes and s”crumb”diddlyumptious cakes.
Hop ahead 3 years to the best gluten free cakes you’ve ever tasted.
Our bakery is now open and taking custom cake orders for your next event. Inquire at 619.884.8096.
