    Waffle
    Georgia G.

    Super great coffee, I got an iced vanilla late with their vanilla bean syrup and it was so amazing, I will definitely be coming back just for that. And the waffle was delicious too, super fluffy and topped with the perfect hint of sweetness from the powdered sugar! Baristas were sweet too :)

    Love this place for the cute outside look of it. Lots of natural sunlight and jut this cute house vibe from the outside. Inside is full of light. I will say the seating is really not great/ comfortable for a long time but their drinks are good and pastries too (although everything is pricey)

    Wafflle $7.75 and Jam $1

    I went on a Monday and got an ice matcha and waffle with jam on the side. Loved the music being played, it made for a nice working environment! It was crowded by 10am. The matcha was $7, waffle was $7 and the jam was $1 extra so a little pricey. I would get the matcha again, sweet and flavorful!

    Woodsy vibes

    Felt like stopping in after strolling the farmer's market this Saturday. No long line which was a treat. Great service and seating where most were working. Something about the light wood paneling and tables makes this shop quite inviting and grounding. I got the pink bourbon Colombian drip and it was plenty good. A favorite spot for a coffee for sure.

    Matcha and waffle

    Amazing barista.. she was the sweetest and patient.. yummy waffle: crispy outside, fluffy inside and matcha is good if you like a more sweeter matcha profile.. super spacious good to study at and good lighting

    I needed a coffee fix while working at the office, so my coworker and I decided to walk to The Mill since she recommended their coffee. I went with a vanilla bean latte with almond milk. The coffee was really good, but I'm not sure I could make this a regular stop because of the price. A 16-ounce latte cost me $8.81 before tips, which is definitely higher than what I usually pay at other coffee shops.

    Cassia cold brew & matcha sparkler
    Gillian A.

    Yummm the matcha powder used here is goooood, and no skimping on it in drinks either!! I had the matcha sparkler and it was very refreshing. Hit the spot on a warm day. The cassia cold brew was a bit disappointing. The brew itself tasted smooth but the cream was bland and acted more as cup filler. Would have enjoyed a regular cold brew much more. Of course I had to try one of the iconic yeasted waffles here!! The waffle in hand was super light and crispy! Standard waffle taste. Reminds me a lot of something I would find at, like, Disneyland as an on-the-go snack lol. A small treat-yo-self kind of thing. Lastly, I tried a vegan spiced coffee cake donut that was in the display case. Pretty tasty vegan donut. Not overly sweet. Like the waffle it would make a great complement to any of the drinks here. Friendly and patient staff. I visited on a Friday at around 11 am. Short ordering line at the time and most of the seating was occupied. Didn't have too much trouble finding no-fee 1-hour parking along 18th Street.

    Matcha
    Jana C.

    I came to this place after a workout class right around the time it first opened. I ordered a hot latte with half vanilla and half caramel. I do say the latte was a 5/5 very delish. My friend got their matcha and said it was pretty good. We were the first customers so our drinks came out quick! I will say my heart did sort of drop as our total came out to a little over $16. The mill has some outdoor seating where we were able to wait for it to open. It's cute inside but my it echoed so bad and we're pretty loud talkers. However as more people came in the noise seem to be drowned.

    Oat Milk Latte to go
    Josephine W.

    Coffee always hits the spot. Plenty of pastries to choose from and the customer service is always outstanding. Definitely one of my go to spots when I am in the area. It's nice and cozy and plenty of open seats/tables.

    Caramel latte and pumpkin pecan muffin
    Angie L.

    This is my go to coffee spot! They have a delicious caramel latte that's perfect if you like your coffee on the sweeter side. And they have a lot of good pastries, all of which I believe are gluten free. They have some indoor seating but I prefer the back patio on a nice sunny morning.

    Cup of their Moon Mont Tea

    This is my favorite coffee shop in Midtown. Beautiful atmosphere, chill music, great drinks and friendly baristas. The sweet treats are always a delight! I dare you to sit here smell the waffle and not immediately buy one. They have such a fantastic tea flavors and for a coffee spot a solid selection. The vibe is immaculate. The only hard things is there are limited wall sockets if you have an old pc like me.

    Bambi & I get our white mochas with almond milk.
    Michelangelo S.

    Mmmmmm, Mocha Mondays @ The Mill Have Never Been Better! SITREP Bambi 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 SETUP The 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 PATIO We 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 LOWDOWN The Mill is an excellent spot to chill and prepare for your next adventures!

    Vegan Strawberry doughnut, coffee cake, and cold brew
    Leilua L.

    Super great service. The girl at the front counter was so nice and recommended drinks when I asked and was super friendly and inviting. The vibes here are super cute and cozy and nice seating outside that is in the shade and plenty of people walking around and heading to the farmers market which is close by as well. So there is great people watching and dogs around. Some things my friends and I tried and what we rate them... Vegan Strawberry doughnut - medium texture good strawberry flavor - 4/5 Coffee cake - softer texture than the doughnut, whipped frosting and brown sugar crumbles - 3/5 Cold brew - 9/10 - bold flavor Oat milk vanilla bean latte - good coffee flavor profile, not overly sweet but sweet enough. - 8.5/10 Black coffee - 9/10 pure and simple The woman working there (I wish I asked her name) recommended the matcha latte so I'll deff come back here to try that. Loved this coffee shop and great location on a Saturday to hit up the farmers market.

    What is the parking situation like?

    There is street parking available. I've never had problems finding parking nearby.

    How long do they serve waffles for? What's the cut off time?

    Hi, so I’m trying to remember the exact time I believe it was 12:30pm for the fancy waffles but they serve the basic handheld plain waffle all day.

    We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.

I walk up to the counter and asked for the Mango Sticky Rice and the guy who helped me, idk what his name is had an attitude and was like we're out of it. I'm thinking to myself, sooo if you KNOW you're of something that's popular and on the menu, maybe you should put a sign somewhere stating that it's currently NOT AVAILABLE. Then I had to call back home to let my siblings know that the initial drink they wanted was not available, so they can choose something else and again the guy taking the order wad annoyed. My siblings decided upon the Mangonada with brown sugar boba and the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. Unfortunately, brown sugar boba was not available was all out for the day according to the cashier.. but no sign stating that they were sold out. I had to call my siblings again to let them know and ask if they wanted crystal boba as a replacement. To keep the order going while I was calling them, I asked for a mochi waffle and the guy threw his hands up annoyed and was like do you not want the boba for drink? I told the cashier I'll have the crystal boba instead of the brown sugar since it's currently unavailable, and the guy goes with an attitude... soo do you want the crystal boba? I said yess...yes I do. The Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha was alrightt. It is definitely not all that it is hyped up to be. The drink IMO was just a basic iced matcha with chocolate drizzle on the side of the cup and the pistachio foam that barely tasted like pistachio.

There was a challenge, as I also spoke with the front girl about, but parking is competitive. All the parking spots were taken. Some parking spots were reserved for the neighboring businesses, so I found parking on the roadside. Is it possible to expand the parking lot? It's tough to give patronage to this great business with this challenge. I suppose it's a good problem to have when many people want to come here ;)
