Coffee Mill Cafe

I stopped in for just a piece of pie. The coconut cream was wonderful and they topped it with meringue instead of whipped cream which is my favorite. It also seemed to have a meringue crust.Staff was friendly and the menu looked good - I just wasn't hungry enough for a meal.

You had me at HOMEMADE PIES! Good service, good food, a welcome stop in Zumbrota! We had breakfast specials-both well wonderful!

I found this listed on Roadside America as "Obama's Pie Stop". Sure enough, as soon as you walk in, you can see the framed photo on the wall above the booth he sat in. Evidently, he stopped here while campaigning in 2011 and bought $60 worth of pies. We sat at a table and were warmly greeted. There are a lot of appetizing choices for breakfast. I got the English Mill which was an English muffin with sausage, egg, and cheese with a side of hash browns. My husband ordered the Loaded Omelet and we got an egg, bacon, and toast for our son from the kid's menu.The food was fantastic. My muffin sandwich was fantastic! The hash browns were superb. My husband loved that his omelet had sour cream in it. Our son was very happy with his eggs and bacon. My husband's coffee cup never went empty and he said the coffee was fantastic. I had a piece of pumpkin pie and it, too, was fantastic.The décor is a little dated, but it's clean. There were plenty of locals chatting over their morning coffee. The food and the service is fantastic. It's also affordable; the total for the three of us was $24. It's right on Main Street with plenty of street parking in front of and around the restaurant. When you're done, you can walk over to the only covered bridge in Minnesota. Enjoy! :)

They're pie is decent (the custard i liked) but the pistachio dessert was a let down. . . The pudding was ok and the crust was delicious but the cool whip was meh! I hate cool whip (or the psuedo cool whip) if i hadn't known that it wasn't whipped cream i wouldn't ordered that) The coffee was good but the sweetener wasn't good (i don't like the pink packets).My husband orded the club n the fries and in short we are not going back. The club ONE THIN piece of ham and ONE THIN turkey. The flavor was good but the meat wasn't be much to be desired. AND the fries no salt no seasoning ... bland Very very bland.30 minutes drive time and it's wasn't good enough warrant a second time. Sorry Coffee Mill.

Great little small town cafe. We decided to stop here on our way north from Rochester. We had been here before for lunch so we tried breakfast. Did not disappoint. Many locals sitting in here for coffee. The food was tasty. I had a large breakfast that included eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast. It all was good and very filling. The prices also made it a good experience. I love the small town places.

I read about this place online and was so excited to visit. Obama had pie there! How cool. We went and quickly found they hide their Obama visit. The frame with all the photos and articles is hidden behind the register. Really?We sat ourselves (as the sign said). I'm not new to dive diners. I love them. But we waited. And waited. And waited for a waitress. It was at least 20 minutes before we were even greeted.Nothing was amazing and they were out of most pies. I don't think we will go out of our way to eat there again.

year ago this place use to be amazing, around the Obama-visit era.I recently went there after years of not going to the place and ordered a steak with green beans with a side of potatoes and salad.The green beans you could tell came out of a can, you could taste the difference easily. Although I dont mind it, fresh vegetables make a business and a difference between a customer coming back or not. The steak I had wasnt the best, seemed out of a package quite literally. but the potatoes where great, they tasted like fresh potatoes, true mashed potatoes.The serving size of everything was excellent, I was very pleased. here are a couple things I was NOT pleased about.You pay almost 2 dollars for literally 1 cup size of chocolate milk, they serve it to you in the smallest glass possible, what happened to the very large cup of milk you use to get there years ago when you ordered a meal?Me and my girlfriend placed our orders and we where very pleased with everything up until we where done placing our orders, the lady whom I think was part owner, older lady. Took easily 5-8 minutes to get our milk we wanted for a drink, she got us big glass of water which is great, every place should give out water to someone even if they dont ask. But the wait time to get our milk we wanted was far too long.I ordered a salad along with my food, we quite literally seen her make my salad from the salad bar which was very disturbing, I paid for her to basically make my salad for me. I was expecting a very nice, authentic salad to come out of the kitchen.There was also the German Chocolate pie listed on the pie list and when i went to order a slice she said she was out, it must of been a reminder to her because she erased it off the board as soon as I asked, I watched her erase it before even going around the pie fridge to see if they had any left.The menus are great, but the menus are wrong on the hours they are open. They are not open during some of the most profitable making time there is in the restaurant business which astonished me. They are missing out on alot of sales and profit. I have heard the 2 owners have been fighting for some time now and cant keep there things together.Sad to see such an amazing place being run down by 2 arrogant owners. Some might not see it, but this was a place I would go to weekly, years ago for years to go and eat breakfast, lunch and supper here and there. They definatley have time to change yet, this is a great place for older people to come to and enjoy there coffee, talk, have a slice of pie. hence the name coffee mill, you will see ALOT of older people walk through those doors to enjoy there cup of brew.I really hope this place goes back to what it use to be like in the old days, seats where always packed, people enjoying there food, Im just not seeing it as often as it use to be in this place anymore.Will I go back? Of course. there pie is amazing, great homemade pies. But change needs to happen with some of the cooking and things that they do. Fresh vegetables are not hard to get, I wish they would take into consideration of the word fresh instead of canned.

There aren't a ton of places in Zumbrota, and this used to be the best option. I don't know what has happened, but the last two times we've stopped it's been really bad. The last time was the final straw....a comedy of errors, compounded by surly customer service. I don't get it, they were not that busy, but it seemed like we were imposing on them.

This is a great diner in the heart of Zumbrota. The Coffee Mill is known for their pies, ever flow of coffee, and the food.Breakfast includes a breakfast bar with all the standard assortments of eggs, meats, pancakes, etc...Lunch and dinner have a salad bar. Many items are featured including pasta salads.The soups are delicious and part of the salad bar.

We visited this place during a weekend trip to Zumbrota. Super cute town, and this place was such a great landmark!! We ate there for lunch (fish friday!!) and breakfast (eggs, potatoes, bacon and pancakes), both meals were great and I was stuffed. The Ranch dressing was my favorite. They mentioned they make it fresh, homemade...and you can tell! Of course with the name Coffee Mill, you'd expect their coffee to be great and it did not let us down. It was great. I had two cups and I am not even a coffee drinker. As others have mentioned, the pies are homemade daily.The owners were great, family owned, and they made us feel like family during our visit. You can tell they care about there customers. :-) I particularly like the nice lady with the glasses. She was awesome and on the ball with what we needed! thanks! We will definitely be back next time we are in Zumbrota. Thanks for the memories during our trip.
