reimagined dining.

Down home food. Family vibes. Life balance.

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 we discovered that the weekday neighborhood business is not sustainable. We decided to work smarter, not harder and pivot to being a weekend hot spot.
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 cafe menu features sandos, bowls, sweets & a couple of Millport faves. And get this…. everything is or can be made gluten free.
No diggity, no doubt!
We also created a little market with things we love: cards, novelty items, pickled veggies, hot sauces & more. Also, grab one of our Millport tees.

  • 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 became gluten free. It didn’t take long to realize that dining out is never fearless. 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. She created 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 scones.
3 years later we have tossed out all signs of gluten from our bakery and our pastry counter is filled with muffins, cookies, cinnamon rolls & even cakes! Custom cakes coming soon!

  • in the cafe

    We have a range of options for your pastry cravings. Avalable Friday, Saturday & Sunday until sold out. And come early, cuz’ they do sell out. See you at 9am!

  • Cakes

    We have cake available by the slice each week. The slices are huge and the cake is ridiculous!
    We are taking some custom cake orders.
    Emmi is working hard on our new cake program and we are so excited for April!
