Some of our volunteers yesterday had a great time pruning and sorting the willow into bunches for future use.

Our archway is really taking shape this year.

Well done to all our volunteers who make such a difference to our magical place.

I'll catch the rest of you soon.

Julieth Patisserie Art

To everyone who follows my page but has never had the chance to try my pastries, this is the place I have been supplying since it reopened its doors. ❤️

Since 2025, I have been creating modern patisserie for them, including individual mousse and Bavarian desserts, as well as Italian-inspired cakes.

🫶🏻 I use local ingredients whenever possible, with the aim of keeping their journey as short as possible from where they are grown to where they are transformed into desserts.

🫶🏻 I also make the most of the seasons, creating desserts with fruit picked directly at the Cafè’s Orchard or from the surrounding area of our beautiful countryside.

🫶🏻 Pretty much everything is made completely from scratch (by my own hands) including the decorations and toppings. ❤️
No industrial mixes, no ready-made preparations!

The Café is open from Friday to Sunday, from 11am to 3pm, and my pastries are freshly assembled and delivered on the very same morning 😍

This little Café is literally surrounded by nature, wrapped in silence, birdsong and falling leaves. It is also the final stop of a beautiful walk, suitable for everyone, through a truly enchanting natural oasis.

The old Mill buildings are steeped in history dating all the way back to the 1400s. You can also visit inside and see the original machinery, still beautifully preserved.

Come and visit us at Mill of Benholm Enterprise 🌳

🚐 DRIFTING DOWN THE A92 TOWARDS DUNDEE

☕ THE MILL OF BENHOLM CAFÉ
Mill of Benholm Enterprise

Heading south on the A92 between Inverbervie and At Cyrus, I made a stop at the Mill of Benholm.

And if you're travelling this way, it is well worth knowing that there is more here than just a place to stop for a coffee.

The Café at the Mill is located within the historic Mill of Benholm site, a Category A listed water-powered meal mill which dates largely from the 18th century, with alterations and rebuilding in 1817.

The café is run by community volunteers and works with Julieth Patisserie Art to provide patisserie, cakes and biscuits, with ingredients sourced locally and responsibly wherever possible. Sucre Daze also supplies the cakes, cheesecakes, cakes & scones. I had great service from volunteers Donna and Jane

☕ Coffee and tea
🍰 Cakes and patisserie
🐕 Dog friendly
🎨 Local artwork and locally produced items

And there is a good reason to support the café.

All proceeds go towards the restoration, upkeep and running costs of the Mill of Benholm, helping to keep the mill, grounds and buildings open to visitors.

📍 FIND IT

The Mill of Benholm is just off the A92, between Inverbervie and Johnshaven. Look out for the signs for Mill of Benholm / Benholm.

There is a car park, followed by a short walk of approximately 150 metres to the mill and café. Disabled parking is available.

🕚 CURRENT OPENING HOURS

Friday, Saturday and Sunday
11am to 3pm

The Mill grounds are open to visitors at other times, although some paths remain subject to ongoing restoration work.

So, if you're drifting down the A92 towards Dundee, why not take a wee detour off the road, stretch your legs, explore a fascinating piece of local history and enjoy a coffee and cake while you're there?

That's exactly what we did on our A92 road trip.

Well done to everyone who braved the weather today to visit our orchard festival.

Huge thank you to our amazing volunteers who make these events possible by spending hours helping out at the Mill. Working in the orchard and garden, picking apples, setting up events, keeping the grounds and buildings clean and tidy, working in the cafe week after week, and even getting the wheel turning.

The apples we have left will make their way to the honesty shed in the car park where all donations go towards the upkeep of the mill and grounds.
