The second day of business was even better than the first...who could have imagined?? These little guys sold out fast. As we sample items for our menu we will be sure the tenderloin is a frequent visitor!

The Mill Creek Cafe opened for business today, Thursday, February 4, 2010. The building has come a long way from where we started last spring, but a lot of hard work by so many has paid off. We look forward to the days ahead...and lots of yummy food!!
