Breakfast and Brunch
Mildred’s is perhaps most famous for its weekend brunch, which has achieved near-legendary status among locals. The star of the show is undoubtedly the “Mrs. Biederhof’s Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes” – a towering stack of fluffy pancakes studded with plump, juicy blueberries and served with wild blueberry compote and organic maple syrup.
Lunch and Dinner
For later in the day, the menu offers a diverse array of dishes that cater to various palates and dietary preferences. Standout items include:
- The “Temple Burger”: A juicy, hand-formed patty topped with aged cheddar, house-made pickles, and a secret sauce, served on a freshly baked milk bun.
- “Huevos Monty”: A Mexican-inspired dish featuring black bean refritos, aged cheddar, eggs, and avocado crema, all baked in a cast-iron skillet.
- “Shakshouka”: A Middle Eastern-inspired dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, served with grilled sourdough for dipping.

The dessert menu is a celebration of indulgence, featuring classics with a twist. The “Sticky Toffee Pudding” with vanilla bean ice cream is a perennial favorite, while the seasonal fruit crumble showcases the best of local orchards.
