The Mill

Mmmmmm, Mocha Mondays @ The Mill Have Never Been Better!SITREPBambi and I were in the mood to caffeinate to prepare for the President's Day Protest at the State Capitol. and so there was no place better for us to trek to than The Mill to get us in the *right head space*.THE SETUPThe Mill has a sah-weeeeet array of delicious coffees AND taste treats and we definitely took advantage of this!* My eyes didn't get past the Strawberry Donut, so my low-glucose diet was already a goner at this point; so,* So I tried to make up for it by getting a sugar-free Mocha to *ratchet down* any deleterious sugary overloads.BOTH were outstanding, and Bambi was quite happy with hers as well!OUTSIDE PATIOWe actually took advantage of the rear outdoor patio on this occasion and this proved nice because it was nice and quiet with only two other couples there as well. BUT it was really cool since the sun doesn't really break through the room or high walls very well - more of a concern for Bambi than for me.THE LOWDOWNThe Mill is an excellent spot to chill and prepare for your next adventures!

I've been to the mill numerous amounts of time. However the last three times I've visited I haven't had the most pleasant experience. The service has been terrible and the cashier always has a bad attitude. I always try to approach her in a very friendly matter and it's never reciprocated. Today I went in for a "hot green tea latte" and she looked at me like I was dumb because I didn't specifically say "matcha green tea latte". As I mentioned, I've been here numerous occasions and I always ask for it this way. I even ordered it like this last week with the same woman and she understood exactly what I was saying (still gave me so much attitude but understood just fine) Love this place's green tea latte but if I'm paying for an overpriced matcha then I would also hope the service is up to par.

Not Friendly.Coffee good.Ambiance: freezing inside.Service: baristas not friendly.There's too many coffee places in Sac to settle for mediocre coffee served by cranky baristas.

In my attempt to support local business and boycott the chains, I discovered The Mill today. Charming little coffee shop with a small parking lot in the back and little outdoor seating. I had an 8 ounce cappuccino (2% milk - they didn't have nonfat) and a plain croissant - the baked goods come from Estelle's! Coffee was smooth and tasty! The barista was kind and helpful. Overall great experience!

When I went into the mill, I was walking my dog and happened to want a tea. I looked at their curated tea menu and asked some questions and found out all their teas are mixed and bagged by their herbalist who gets the leafs/ingredients from Japan! The person helping was very helpful, i asked for a mixture of both and they gladly mixed it up and reminded me on busier days they may not be able to do that. I loved the inside and cozy feel, is wish i could have stayed to enjoy the ambiance.

The perfect coffee spot to catch up with friends or get some work done, with reliable WiFi to boot.

Food: 3/5They offer pastries and a plethora of coffee/ tea options. I purchased the banana loaf, which was delicious. I asked the cashier to warm it up but she didn't have a microwave or anything to do so (womp womp). Nonetheless, it was still good. I also had a chai tea it tasted okay. A little bland.Service: 5/5The customer service was pleasant. No complaints at all.Ambiance: 4/5Cute, clean with outdoor seating options.

My wife and I stopped by to get some work done and to also grab a drink and a bite. The space is pretty small but has a very cozy atmosphere inside. They had a handful of tables and chairs to sit and work on, however, it quickly fills up. And even though there were more available seats outside, we ended up sitting inside as there were a couple of people clamoring around the vicinity. We shared a hot chai latte and a lemon lavender muffin. The drink hit the spot but the muffin was very sweet that it tasted and smelled like perfume. Both of us couldn't finish eating it, and I normally finish everything I eat, so it's sad to say that the muffin saw the bin. I've apparently been to this cafe before according to my wife but I don't remember it all, which makes a lot of sense after coming back. This is a pretty good grab-and-go spot for drinks, but I don't see myself being around this location to work anytime soon.

This was such a cute coffee shop! I had their winter spice latte which was really good. Their waffles are nice and fluffy. Comes in a great size and is super tasty. The inside was a little on the smaller side but there were plenty of seating for us when we went. The service was fast and the employees were knowledgeable and engaging. Will definitely be coming back!

Espresso heads unite!This shop is outstanding. Very clean, medium roast, great bodied bean. They have a second hopper full of a little darker bean - for those interested. I will go back each and every time I visit Sac.Great, well versed baristas are icing on (espresso) cake.
