The Banh Mi Breakfast sandwich is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Their coffee program, however, needs a MASSIVE upgrade to match their stellar culinary offerings. I can tell that I shouldn't even bother ordering an espresso drink when a place has a giant old-school espresso machine and a tub of shiny dark roasted beans. My instincts were right. Abysmal coffee. If I gave it a letter grade: C or even C- while the food ranks as an A. read more

In the past 3 weeks I had the breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and sausage on a biscuit and the Italian sandwich. Both were outstanding. The biscuit sandwich is a great way to start the day; the biscuit is flaky and delicious. The Italian sandwich is chock full of great meats on a soft roll; too bad I have to watch my cholesterol level or I would have one weekly! I highly recommend The Mill. read more

We got a ham & brie sandwich and a tuna wrap. Both were fresh and good, but both could have used a little more flavor - something to jazz them up. Nothing fancy, just a little something. We got the broccoli salad - that was great. read more

The Mill is our favorite stop when visiting Cape Ann! Josh and his team are so welcoming and, of course, EVERYTHING is delish!

I visit this gem a few times a month. Their egg/cheese/sausage breakfast sandwich on a biscuit is amazing! The coffee is great too. Staff is always friendly and regardless of how busy they are, service is always quick. read more

The Mill - Iced coffee and biscuit breakfast Sammy (egg, cheese, sausage) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Essex, Massachusetts

Perfect place to go for provisions before heading to Crane Beach! We've been a few times on our last trip to Cape Ann and plan to go back again. The sandwiches are generous and freshly made. My husband enjoyed his meat based sandwiches. I enjoyed the Caesar wrap. Wish they had a few more veggie options and snack-y items. read more

What breakfast sandwich magic is this! The breakfast bi mah brings great flavors together on the most amazing roll. Absolutely amazing sa

Phenomenal! The food, the baked goods, the service - all top notch and absolutely delicious!!

The Mill is a must try. Everything about it is great. Their Breakfasti banh mi is hands down the greatest breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The Prepared meals are spot on. I had the baked gnocchi the other day. It was perfect. Just go try this place. The music is spot on too. read more

Coffee is nice. Breakfast bánh mì was spectacular. Bagels are bready but nice. Staff are lovely. Would be five stars if there were more places to sit, as it's a place one wants to linger. read more

We just picked up great sandwiches and soup. The staff was super nice and were kind enough to make us sandwiches right as they were about to close. Highly recommended. read more

Everything from the mill is delicious seriously. Josh will make you just about anything if he has the ingredients. I eat here probably every weekend. The staff is awesome and always remembers me, I'm sure they would also remember my order but my husband and I eat just about everything on the menu. read more

This place excels at what can be any great restaurant's Achilles heel: consistency. They are consistently excellent. We've tried many things and they never fail to impress. Essex has no shortage of places to eat and this one is tops. read more

The breakfast sandwich was delicious. The meatloaf is soooooo sweet - way too much brown sugar. Paid $18 (serves 2-3 people) and threw it out.. The breakfast sandwich was a five and the meatloaf was a zero. Those that love a maple syrup tasting turkey meatloaf might find it totally delightful. ‍ read more

Excellent food and service. Prepared meals are tasty and reasonably priced. Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Friends staff and good vibes. read more

We LOVE this place ... you just can't go wrong with anything on the menu ... healthy, delicious, savory prepared meals ... a perfect break from cooking that doesn't comprise when you want high quality, nutrient dense, whole food meals ... grateful we live close enough to take advantage of Josh + Staff's great food ... Since COVID, we've been regular prepared food customers and recently branched out into their yummy sandwiches and soups ... thanks for bring healthy, plentiful food options to our little Boston North Shore communities. ps - we love your dog, Columbo, a wonderful, playful, basset hound! ... random celebrity appearances on your social media!! :) read more

Breakfast Bahmi's are one of the best sandwiches to ever bless my taste buds! Coffee is absolutely delish, I always get a mocha latte and it never disappoints. Staff is extremely friendly and the whole atmosphere is very pleasant:) read more

The Mill is ideal for a quick and delicious breakfast. The quality and size of the sandwiches and pastries for the price is a great value too. I'll definitely be stopping in again soon. read more

5 stars!! the staff were super efficient and nice & friendly. would recommend. coffee is delicious and they have a nice arrangement of foods and such inside! read more

Cute little place. Small but tasty menu. The smoothies aren't ridiculously sweet and the avocado toast is really delicious. My favorite thing is that this is right next to the Mill Pond - a beautifully landscaped garden, playground and pond and a terrific place to relax and eat your food. read more

I got a cappuccino on opening day and it was amazing! I am a coffee/espresso snob, so to find a coffee shop that makes a good espresso drink is awesome! I am new to town and will become a regular costumer! Such a cute set up too, can't wait to try the food! read more

Best bacon egg and cheese in Essex. Never disappointed, always happy. I wish I could rate this place 6 stars

The Mill is a new place in ESSEX and what a treat! The MILL is welcoming as you enter the premises. The touches are very creative, from the foods displayed that look and are really yummy; the scones, croissants, muffins and BEST Breakfast sandwiches along with robust hot coffee from Dean's Coffee. The menu is creative, healthy and prepared with passion by Josh Silverstein Chef/Proprietor along with his wife, Caitlin who welcomes all with a smile. The Tai Curry Chicken Soup along with the Greek Lentil Soup are winners! Great selection of Hot and cold sandwiches, healthy Bowls and prepared foods to go which will start too. So many choices; healthy, fresh, and best in the area, a MUST to try! read more

Great local spot! Very comfortable atmosphere inside. Breakfast selections included a traditional egg/cheese but also a burrito or Ban Mih. Gluten free bread and wraps and baked goods. I really enjoyed the made to order burrito. While I was there several patrons thanked owner for opening this gem- great testament to rhe locals and owner. I look forward to trying the sandwiches and soups. A person needs more than seafood to survive! read more

Amazing staff and ambience! The coffee is delicious and the prices are reasonable. My one critique is that the breakfast sandwiches have soooo much egg that it's hard to taste the other wonderful and fresh flavors! Overall, a great place to check out and show your friends. read more

This place has amazing food, and is run by amazing people. Please support them by giving them a try. Once you meet them and try their food, you won't need any convincing....you'll be going back! read more

The food here is absolutely delicious. There is not one item on the menu where the flavor doesn't pleasantly surprise you when you take your first bite. Currently I am eating the Thai peanut noodles which are perfectly seasoned- both sweet and savory. Josh, the owner and chef, also recently provided food for my brother's wedding. Everything was delicious and tastefully presented. I fully encourage anyone to stop by for coffee, a sandwich or even takeout a meal for your family. Moreover, they take this pandemic very seriously which provides much needed comfort and peace of mind. I promise that you will not be disappointed in the food, staff or atmosphere. Cheers and congrats, Josh! read more

O.M.G, such a sweet new place in town! The inside has been renovated with such charm and the menu is thoughtfuly done. I had the Goddess wrap, which was bursting with fresh veggies, and guac. The chicken Thai Curry soup had a little spicy kick and was loaded with chicken rice and veggies. They were both delicious!...then I saw the breakfast menu! Breakfast burrito wrap, salmon on a bagel with cream cheese and onion "caught" my eye...Lord, I am in trouble since I live feet away from that place. Good job on your opening! Congratulations!! read more

The gluten free selection is fabulous. I shared the blueberry lemon scone with my boyfriend and it was so good that we had to buy more. The offer gluten free bread for sandwiches and gluten free desserts! read more
