Great coffee shop! I had a decaf latte with simple syrup and really enjoyed it! I also highly recommend the kouign amann! And I love that they allow you to bring your own cup and give a 75 cent discount if you do! They have a lot of seating inside and outside but it's quite a popular place (at least on a Sunday morning!) so it was hard to find an open table. The employees were very friendly and were happy to answer my questions about the various pastries they have. read more

Fast and friendly service. I was in and out within 10 minutes, including the wait and walk back to the car! The nitro brew and latte were both solid, but the cinnamon sugar toast was the real standout. The savory sea salt and slight sourness of the country bread perfectly balanced the sweetness of the cinnamon dust and brown sugar. The cafe itself is surrounded by artwork and even has a newspaper rack, which added to the charm. Definitely coming back to try more of their baked goods. Cheers! read more

Lovely, warm aesthetics for a bakery! It was a great spot to enjoy some quality coffee and baked goods. I tried a latte with oat milk, which was smooth, creamy, and well-balanced. I also tried some of their bread, which was fresh in the morning and had the perfect texture/flavor to enjoy by itself or with a dish. I also one of their kouign amanns, which was crispy, buttery on the outside while still soft and flaky on the inside. Good service for good reason! read more

The Mill - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Solid cafe in Nopa with ample natural lighting, an aesthetic shelf of goods for sale, and a good amount of seating, making this a nice place to catch up with a friend or work. Service was friendly :) I loved the ricotta cardamom bun! It was very fluffy, not toooo sweet, and the cardamom was not overpowering as it can often be in cardamom baked goods. The avocado toast was solid and I enjoyed their sourdough bread, though I'd probably skip this next time. The cappuccino was quite acidic / on the sour side which I personally don't like, but maybe others could enjoy. Would return to try more of their pastries and bask in the sunlight! read more

Ordered an iced latte and a lemon ricotta toast. Iced latte- 3/5: my normal go to is a vanilla iced latte. They don't have flavored syrups which is fine, so I got an iced latte with simple syrup. The coffee was good, nothing crazy. It was pretty small. Lemon ricotta toast- 2/5: I liked the toast, definitely something more unique and the texture is there. The toast itself also gives a strong kind of grainy/nutty taste. I disliked the jam but just a personal preference since it tasted like apple to me and I don't like apple flavored dishes. I expected the toast to be more on the sweet side. I just think the taste is not for me. But I would try the other flavored toasts. Seating & ambience: there are good amount of seats and super spacious shop. It was quite busy even between 4-5pm (near closing). Overall, there was nothing too impressive but still a solid coffee shop and unique toast options. Loved the ambience though! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and glad I got to finally try it! It's so spacious with lots of seating and love the openness of the place!

I got a latte and my friend got a peppermint latte and we both liked our drinks! Will be back again! read more

Not a fan of cafes where most patrons have laptops open and are taking up all the spaces. Pretty decor in The Mill with art on the wall by local artists. They have a big community table, seats against the wall with school style armrests for coffee cups. Also small round tables generously spaced. The Mill's bread is famous as well as their pricey avocado toast. I had a matcha latte with oat milk to go ($8). Wish I could have tried some pastry or bread but honestly I can't afford more than this drink. read more

10/10. Absolutely unbearable spot for brunch or bread. One of my friends in DC told me that I *had* to try The Mill when I moved to SF -- she would always come here every time she visited and take a few loaves of sourdough back to DC with her -- and I can absolutely see why. The bread is absurdly tasty, with a great sourdough flavor blended with the heartiness of whichever whole grain they used in your bread of choice. Their toasts are a great way to sample the bread before committing to a whole loaf, and all of the toppings are outstanding. My favorites are their hummus toast and egg in a hole, both of which feature a super thick slice of their amazing bread, toasted to perfection and layered with tons of flavor. The egg in a hole comes with a perfectly poached egg with a gorgeous runny yolk, as well as a generous slathering of herb butter. The herbs really enhance the flavor of the bread, and I love the added richness from the egg. The hummus and tomato toast is just as delicious; the hummus gives the toast a lovely richness and creaminess, and the heirloom tomatoes add a fresh, sweet, and acidic bite. It's topped with a bit of olive oil and sea salt, which further enhance all the flavors. The toasts are undeniably expensive at $12-$20 each, but they're so very worth it. If you're not in a bread mood, they also have a ton of delicious pastries! I've only tried my classic chocolate croissant -- which was wonderfully buttery, flakey, and chocolatey -- but they have many other options, ranging from the classics to some more unique selections. For coffee, they're partnered with (or maybe a sister company of?) Four Barrel Coffee Roasters, so you can order their beautifully roasted beans here too. The espresso is wonderful on its own -- I love their americanos -- or in latte form. It can get extremely crowded here, especially on the weekends, so I'd either try to get here quite early or be prepared for a decently long wait, both to order and to find a spot to sit. There's a good amount of seating, including the usual small tables and chairs, a giant communal table with over ten seats, and a long bench with little arm rests / tables along the back wall. Even so, they are rightfully extremely popular, so you might still need to take your toast / pastries / coffee to an outdoor table or a nearby park. read more

Bread is so yummy!! Lots of seating indoors though it does get taken up pretty quickly. Ambiance is an industrial vibe which I loved. We got the cinnamon sugar toast and loved the bread texture. Though it did feel like I was eating a mouthful of sugar, it was perfect for sharing! Maybe I'll try something else next time. Drinks were decent--what you'd expect from a standard coffee shop! read more

Always nice to be back at The Mill. Big, airy, and positive vibes float throughout as fun music plays. The toasts here are solid, I've enjoyed the cinnamon and sugar one in the past. This time I tried the lemon, ricotta, and jam. It was good but probably not my favorite one. Still always a good spot to stop in at for a quintessential San Francisco experience. read more

The Mill - Lemon ricotta with seasonal jam on dark mountainrye bread yummm - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Best bakery in SF in my opinion. I've tried many of their toasts, but the avocado toast is unbeatable. The sour, salt, and oil balance is perfect, and the thick bread underneath ties it all together. Their coffee is excellent too. They also have rotating art installations, which make the space feel fresh and inspiring every time you visit. Only downside is there's almost always a line. But with a little patience, you can usually find a seat. read more

Don't let the line deter you! It moves really fast. Not much seating inside but there's this super long table that we got two seats at and talked to some other couples about our food. We ordered the toast special: Caramelized Onion Chevre w/ Arugula & Pistachio topped with shallot thyme dressing & togarashi served on whole grain wonderbread. Very fancy name for the fanciest toast I've ever had. Worth every penny. The matcha on the other hand... just tasted like milk. Looked very green though. Even went back to ask for more matcha, but it still tasted like milk. Lesson learned. Come here for the toast, not the drinks. read more

The Mill - Avocado toast and Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you love a good slice of toast- look no further than the mill, it's got a various selection of fancy toasts with great toppings- a nice thick homemade slice of toast also, with great quality toppings- and a pastry selection in store for that extra sweet treat from a local bakery and a selection of good coffees. I come here for the toast- great for a snack or light lunch, nice airy cafe with good seating- there is a big communal table inside great for solo visitors to sit and relax, work, chill, people watch, start conversations with neighbors- whatever you are feeling. They usually have a seasonal toast which is always great for the fresh seasonal ingredients- but you also can't go wrong with their egg in a hole toast or the cinnamon sugar one- all great. There is outdoor seating too for anyone with bigger dogs or wanting a little extra sunshine. Service always friendly and relatively quick at getting your order ready- they call out your name to collect at the service counter when ready. read more

Bread, bread, bread all around! Looking to fulfill a carb craving with a moist piece of toast, paired with tasty toppings? The Mill is the place to go! Although simple, each Toast dish is mouth watering and satiates your morning hunger. The sage compound butter with the Egg-in-a-hole was to die for! Yes, the dish itself looks very simple, but the in complexity from the ingredients is shown. In terms of seating, this place is a bit of a cattle call. You order at the front and dishes are brought to you via number stands. As such, it's a free for all for claiming a table for you and your party. Fair warning, this place gets busy so you might have to stand around for a bit, but I promise your patience is well worth the wait. This is the perfect place to catch up with a friend and thrive under the hum of a Sunday morning yap session. read more

Cool bakery, love the rotating art features they have. Seating is a hot commodity, unfortunately alot of people with laptops despite no wifi. Selection of pastries, some from loquat - the tahini chocolate cookie was just alright, babkas are always good! The egg in a hole toast was buttered up and egg a nice runny. Bread had good flavor but edges are too chewy for my preference. Inside is very light and fluffy - i feel the toasts in general could all use an actual toast. read more

The Mill's sage butter on their egg in a hole is something I'll dream about. The cortado is one of the best in the city. And the olive oil cake is what I keep coming back for. Yes, the lines are long, it's hard to find a seat, and there is no wifi but it is all worth it. read more

Very cute cozy coffee shop in SF! This place was packed on a Saturday morning which gave it a very fun bustling vibe but made it tough to find seating inside. Ended up sitting outside which was a bit chilly but still quite nice! I tried their hot matcha latte and olive oil cake, both were solid and I loved how the cake wasn't too sweet especially the parts without the frosting. Their house made sourdough loaves and toasts seem to be a hit, I'll be back to try it! read more

7/10 experience! The Mill is definitely a busy spot perfect for getting some work done or chatting with a friend - they have plenty of seating and room to hang around! The avocado toast was great! Pretty standard for avocado toast and the bread was super yummy - would come back to just buy some bread. Hot chocolate was okay - I knew they didn't have any extraordinary drinks based off of prior reviews (assuming people mostly come here for the toast and pastries!) but it was decent enough. Loved the little foam art though :) read more

the pumpkin spice latte was subtle in the spices' flavor and not too sweet, and had a rich smooth texture. i got their most basic toast and it was amazing, the salt flakes and sugary cinnamon on top of the buttery toast all exploded in flavor with each bite. i cant wait to try the other flavors!! the ambiance inside is great too, nice and open with lots of natural light and smell of freshly baked bread. just note that if you're planning to come here to work, come fully charged and ready to hotspot any device since there aren't any outlets or wifi. honestly the perfect place to come with a book (they even have "analog only" sections) read more

Bright and sunny spot for a laid back weekend breakfast! The natural light and rustic interior made the ambiance warm and welcoming. There was a long line when we arrived, but it moved quick. The open floorplan allowed us to watch fresh bread being made while we waited for our food. It was super fun watching them knead huge bins of dough! Although it was busy inside, and we couldn't get our own table, they had benches that worked just fine. We ordered the egg-in-a-hole toast, chive cream cheese and pesto toast (their special of the week), hibiscus iced tea, and a mocha. The egg toast tasted like melt-in-your-mouth garlic bread. The crunch of the pepitas on the pesto toast elevated the dish nicely and paired well with the softness of the cream cheese. The iced tea could have been a bit more sweet, but was still refreshing and light. Would definitely come back to buy a loaf of fresh baked bread, the prices seemed reasonable for what you get. Great selection, even past 12pm on a Saturday. read more

Love this cafe! Really good sourdough, coffee, and place to work. It has lots of seating; there's a few tables and one long communal table. Half of the people are working on their laptops. The sourdough: - Cream Cheese & Pesto Toast (5/5): on whole grain with pepita seeds. It's crunchy, soft, chewy, and savory from the pesto and toppings. - They also sell whole loafs for $9, which is great because one slice of toast was like $13! - They offer bread baking classes with pizza. - Not explicitly listed, but they give out sourdough discard so you can make your own sourdough starter! If making my own sourdough doesn't go to plan, I will be back to buy my loafs from here. I've tried sourdough from other places, but I like the one here the most. read more

Amazing coffee and pretty good bread but overpriced but it's SF and you can't step out the door without spending a good amount of money. Some seating but if it's busy it's limited inside. Outdoor seating is an option too! I really liked the vibe and decor of the place. As you may know, parking in this area is TOUGH I circled around for 20 minutes till I got something. That's not the reason I'm not giving it a 5 though. This was definitely one of those places where the staff didn't seem happy to be there and interactions were awkward. If you don't care about that and just care about getting a good drink and snack it's a 5/5. read more

Damn! I usually love this place! The vibe inside, the tall ceilings, the egg toast, and cinnamon toast are usually top notch. But my most recent visit, I found a strand of brown hair in my toast. I tried to politely ask the tall toast guy (surf dude / skater vibes) wearing the striped shaggy beanie whose hair matched the one I found in my toast, for a new one - even saying "hello" 3-4 times and he blatantly ignored me. Until he finally looked at me and I politely told him and he didn't even say a quick "sorry," "my bad," or "new one coming right up." He made me feel like I should be the one saying "sorry" LOL. There is a thing called "food safety" bro. I know accidents happen and If he had given me just an ounce of respect or acknowledgement, I wouldn't be writing this review. I also work in the service industry bro. Cheer up. Fake it. I don't care. Don't be miserable and maybe get a hat that doesn't have holes in it. read more

They serve four barrel coffee. Not sure where the tea is from, but the matcha latte I got was delicious - perfectly sweetened. I also ordered the lemon ricotta toast, which was just okay given how pricey it is. I was here to take a sourdough class, and I figured that I should try some of their bread out. The rye bread used in the toast was definitely the star of the show, as it should be, but wish they served up a thicker slice to make the price more worth it! read more

Have your stuck up techie friends ever tell you "OMG YOU HAVE TO GO TO BLAH BLAH PLACE" and you go and are underwhelmed by the "typical overcrowded, overpriced SF coffee shop" vibes? Thats how I feel about The Mill: -Long lines out the door on a regular basis which makes you think "WOW THIS PLACE MUST BE AMAZING"...but it wasn't! -Loud AF. Couldn't have a conversation with any of my friends without screaming. -Assholes on their laptops occupying valuable space for extended periods of time without buying anything else to justify why they were still there. **Let me add that the staff does a piss poor job asking people to be considerate of this! -$15 avocado toast, which in their defense was only good because of their fresh baked bread. $15 Egg Toast that was BLAND AF!! Again saving grace was the bread. -$5 drip coffee which was sub par. $8 Matcha which was an also subpar and not sure how they justified this price. -And let's not forget the rude, stuck up hipster staff that make you feel like you should be SOOO honored to be in their presence! Let's be honest...I'm sure they are at no loss for my business so instead of me wasting 30 minutes on line to be served by some rude person that expects a 20% tip for their shit service, desperately trying to find a seat for a $15 avocado toast or bland ass Egg toast and sub par coffee all while get a headache trying to socialize with friends..... I wont be back! read more

Artisan baked bread loaves, baking classes, coffee, pastries in a cool storefront. The Mill is the type of place with a line to order at the counter and both intimate and communal tables filled with locals meeting for coffee or using the internet to work in the popular space. TOAST is what to order- who knew TOAST could be worth the wait? Here it is!! OMG the Avocado Toast is the best I've had- maybe it's the bread? Or maybe the seasoning? Hubby had the Toad in a hole- and yes, he raved as well. Our expectations are high and the Mill blew our minds with the bread! Here is where you can get San Francisco Bread Starter as well. So remember to ask for your starter when you order your toast. read more

I stopped here after a long run on Sunday, and I absolutely loved both the food and the ambience! I really appreciate a coffee shop that offers substantial food options, especially those with protein, such as the egg in a hole at The Mill. Paired with their fresh, homemade bread, there's nothing better to refuel with. The coffee was also very good. It's pretty cavern inside, with ample seating and lots of light. I also love that the smell of fresh bread pervades every corner of this place, but gets stronger as you walk to the back. read more
