The Mille way
Layer upon patient layer
A mille-crêpe cake is built from dozens of paper-thin crêpes, each brushed with cream and stacked by hand until it holds together like a single, silken slice. It takes time, and it shows.
Everything is made in small batches to order, so a cake is fresh the day you collect it. As one regular put it, the flavours are “not too sweet, and the texture very smooth” — the mark of a kitchen that pays attention.
What we make
Cakes, gâteaux & little pastries
A rotating range of Asian-style patisserie, from the signature mille-crêpe to bespoke cakes designed around you. Flavours change with the season, so message us for what’s on this week.

How it works
Order ahead, collect from Poplar
Mille is a make-to-order kitchen in Poplar Business Park, not a walk-in shop — so the best way to get a cake is to message ahead, then pop in to collect during opening hours.
1

Collect in E14
Come to Poplar Business Park and ring the bell with your order number. Look for the half-open shutter with the delivery sticker — the unit doesn’t have a big sign.

“The little pig shape is so detailed and beautifully made. The cake tasted fresh and delicious, not too sweet, and the texture was very smooth.”

“The Hojicha & Chestnut with Vanilla Panna Cotta Shortcake was unreal — so toasty and rich. The salted-egg yolk pastry was delicious too.”

Questions people ask
How do I place an order?
Message us on WhatsApp or Instagram with the flavour, size and the date you need it. You can also call the kitchen on 07938 082833. We bake to order, so a little notice helps — especially for bespoke designs.
Where do I collect, and how do I find you?
Collection is from Poplar Business Park, 10 Prestons Road, London E14 9RL, about five minutes’ walk from Blackwall DLR. It’s a make-to-order kitchen rather than a shopfront, so there’s no large sign — look for the half-open shutter with a delivery sticker, ring the bell and have your order number ready.
Do you make custom and character cakes?
Yes — bespoke cakes are one of our specialities, from hand-piped character designs to birthday cakes built around your theme. Send a photo of what you have in mind and we’ll let you know what’s possible and quote you a price.
What flavours do you have?
Our range rotates, but regulars include the signature mille-crêpe, matcha, hojicha and chestnut, grape and cream, strawberry, Oreo and mango — plus bakes like the salted-egg-yolk and red-bean pastry and the black sesame bun. Message us for what’s available this week.
Are the cakes very sweet?
Our style leans lighter than a typical bakery — customers often describe the cakes as “not too sweet” with a smooth, delicate texture. If you’d like something adjusted for a particular taste, just ask when you order.
Can I get a cake delivered?
Collection from Poplar is the usual way to order. Some items may also be available for delivery through Uber Eats — message us and we’ll point you to the easiest option for you.
