Divis has cleaned up since I first got here in the mid-90s but enough already. Why you stand in that line +'s: + The fresh loaves of bread that you can select with your caffeine kick + Service is always pleasant and efficient. Somehow everyone orders and gets their drink. + Pooch friendly if you take a seat on the sidewalk + Great communal table or select a separate table for chatter you want to keep private + No wi-fi. It's a plus because otherwise there would be people planted here. + Well of course the coffee is good. + b. Patisserie is now serving its goods here!!! Thank you! Scones and kouign amans are to picks! + Mondays! I hate them! But here in the evenings there are pop-up pizzas to nom! Why you don't stand in that line -'s: - Heck Divis has some other places that now serves good coffee. Nopa has shaped up and unfortunately the prices too so consider going elsewhere. - Weekends can get grossly crowded and so full of hipsters. Worth a sip and perhaps even the infamous $5 toast when you are feeling like you could splurge. read more

I like this place so much, I visited twice on a recent trip to SF! Let's discuss decor real quick before getting into the grub: LOVE IT. The rope chandelier is gorgeous and unique. The space is huge. The vibe is ~chill~ brah. Seems like an awesome place to study or grab breakfast solo. Now for the fancy toast: Yum! Yeah yeah yeah it's like $4, but whatever. It's really good and hearty, you'll be full as long as you pair it with a latte or add almond butter. And, sidenote, the bearded cashier is quite possibly the most handsome man I've ever seen in real life. Everyone there was really friendly, and really attractive. A feast for the eyes and the stomach. read more

This is my second time coming to The Mill. I had a cup of tea and I love the fact that I don't have to go all the way to dogpatch to get Neighbor Bakehouse pastries. This evening, I finally had a slice of the classic cheese pizza. Crispy with the right amount of cheese, and a good size. You can't beat the price of $3.50. It only comes out at 6 pm, and the line can get long, but it's totally worth the wait. Highly recommend! read more

The Mill - Classic cheese pizza slice $3.50 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here for a quick breakfast on Sunday morning before heading to Lands End for a hike. The line was out the door onto the sidewalk! The atmosphere of this place is super bright and airy. You can watch them prepping and baking loaves upon loaves of bread in the back, while there are people sitting up front working, chatting or just sipping on some coffee. The place was a little too crowded, so we walked over to Alamo Square park and ate our roasts overlooking the Painted Ladies. I was drawn to The Mill because of their toast, but wasn't really blown away. Crisp bread is essential for toast, but it felt as though they had just sliced the bread and spread on the toppings. I was able to try three of their toasts: Herb Cream Cheese on Dark Mountain Rye - a little too salty and the bread was quite dense. This one was my least favorite. Seasonal Jam on Molasses Brown Bread - my personal favorite, the jam is out of this world! This was also their best bread in my opinion. Cinnamon Sugar on Country Bread - your typical cinnamon sugar toast (we added Nutella to this one). The bread was strangely chewy for country bread. Don't know if I'll come back here - really loved the atmosphere, but their main attraction just wasn't up to par. read more

I dropped in late morning, day after Christmas. It was a bit rainy and cold with a rather long line ahead of me which happily moved quickly. I came in to purchase the ever so popular bread. The Adventure bread was my pick and it is AMAZING!!! I will now be purchasing it on the regular... So along with the bread, I purchased the smoked trout and the lemon zest ricotta breads. I noticed the menu above listed an orange ish bread so I asked the cashier if the lemon was available per the menu, I saw online. She said yes! I tipped extra well in my excitement at being able to get that dish. I also ordered an almond milk mocha for the hubs and an oat milk mocha for myself. My hubs has NEVER met a mocha that he didn't fall in love with, until this one... He even did something I have never seen him do before. He actually threw it away, instead of trying to salvage it... I understand why because even though I did finish my coffee it was the strangest mocha I ever had. The coffee itself was tangy/citrusy? Not our thing. The pretty oat milk foam dissipated into a blandish flavor. I didn't get the creaminess or full body of usual oat milks??? The chocolate was very slight in flavor. We are simple and just want our mocha to taste yummy and these did not, for us. The smoked trout came out simple with very little topping other than the smoked trout. Maybe they were low on supply??? It was still delicious, though. The other bread had a topping that did not look like lemon in any way, so I asked it there was a mistake and the preparer said it was the orange as they are not serving the lemon currently. I told her what happened at the register and she kindly offered to make something else but I didn't want to be a baby about it so I decided to take the orange thing that I would never have ordered. I did ask her to let the cashier know what happened so perhaps she could confirm, before telling the customer yes, when she doesn't really know... pet peeve of mine... Anywayyyyy, I will be back for the bread and if I hadn't ordered anything else, they would have gotten a 5 star. read more

Oh dear Lord. Asked the barista which they recommended between drip or oat milk capp - their advice was drip if you want to meet the bean, oat if you want to test the play between their high-quality ingredients. Opted for the cappuccino - glad I did. Near perfectly pulled espresso, definitely quality oat milk, well poured drink. And oh man, the avo smash. If you have a craving for avo toast, this is THE ONE. read more

i recommend checking out the mill! great bread and coffee and super cute place. love using their red wheat flour for my homemade sourdough

I walked in here thinking "they're going to charge me $8 for a piece of toast with avocado on it?" After my first bite of the avo on country bread toast, I was kinda okay with the idea of spending all my money on more bougie toast. By the end I was convinced that The Mill's country bread is the bread people refer to when using the phrase "best thing since sliced bread". Just stellar. Added benefit -- everything about the space (the the open kitchen, the decor) shouts trendy. And the staff is made up of lovely people. A+ place to catch-up with friends. read more

I stopped by after work to meet with my roommate. While waiting for her, I ordered a cinnamon and sugar toast and hot chocolate. Yes, the toast is expensive, but I thought it was delicious, especially with the hot chocolate. As sweet as it sounds, the hot chocolate wasn't so it actually was a nice balance. I'm not sure if I'd pay $4 for toast again, but if I happen to be in the area and was in the mood for something filling, I'd stop by. read more

A thick slice of toast is a great snack food and The Mill does it extraordinarily well. My order: The Country, toast with butter, cinnamon and sugar - My toast got lost in the mix, but when they eventually made it, it was very good and filling! I would definitely recommend this place based on the toast alone. Hot Chocolate - Though there was a nice heart swirl on top, most of the chocolate was at the bottom, it tasted kind of watery, and it wasn't very flavorful. Chocolate Claw - It's a really good chocolate croissant. Cheese bun - The Mill menu says it has ham and cheddar inside. The person at the front told me it had ham and gruyere. Either way, why is it called a "cheese bun"? Despite the name, I liked it a lot. Menu is not on Yelp, but on their website. Should be on both. read more

The bread itself is good, that I will admit. Unfortunately, mine came out slightly burnt on the edges so I couldn't even finish the whole thing. I ordered the multigrain with butter and honey (plus an iced latte) this afternoon and left unimpressed. The toast essentially just seemed like a good piece of bread, toasted and drenched with butter and some light honey - nothing special and definitely not something I would pay $4 for again. Like many have already suggested, perhaps it's wiser to buy a loaf of the bread yourself plus the additional ingredients and toast it at home. I also got to the try the country bread with butter and cinnamon sugar - slightly better but still nothing amazing. Other notes: Atmosphere/decor is nice and open. Cashier guy was very friendly, even on this unusually hot day in the city. read more

finally gave into my yuppie nature and tried the $7 toast from the mill- the bread was dense and delicioius, the jam was sweet, and the lemon ricotta spread was perfectly creamy and tart. that being said, can i justify ever paying this much for toast again? no, but i may be back to buy their bread and make this again myself at home! read more

The coffee and Latte were good, just like any other place that pushes coffee! A bit pricey for "toast", after dropping $50 and taking a loaf home.....I'd prob just come back for another latte if I were ever near by and parking was easy. We found out about this place after following Josey Baker and his delicious sourdoughs. The atmosphere was nice- Customers were so friendly but the employees weren't too friendly or informative. Had no clue I needed to wait for my order in two different spots and was given no direction or recipe (wth did I buy for $50?!). It could of gone better but hay, if I lived in the area, I guess! Anywho-3 stars because the place was so cute! The atmosphere was nice and seating was a breeze! The loaf we brought home was under baked and wet inside! We'll be back again for their Lattes and hopefully raise them stars!! read more

I'm not a Mill girl, I'm sorry. I tend to enjoy coffee that is lightly roasted and thus, a bit balanced in taste; Mill is completely on the opposite side - very intense and to some extend, too sour for me to digest. I was so glad that I chose to mix with almond milk, which diluted the original texture a tiny little bit. Still could not finish my cup... Having said that, I did enjoy the grand (and bright) space inside, and encountered super friendly barista. Hmm, they serve four barrel beans...no wonder... Not my cup. read more

They have a great selection of flavorful toasts and drinks! I think their drinks were slightly overpriced, but I guess it's just hard to find a latte that isn't priced at at least $5 anymore :( I think it was a little ridiculous to charge an extra dollar for almond milk though!! It was pretty crowded on a Wednesday, and I had to wait for a bit to find seats! The line was long, but went by pretty quickly because there were two cashiers. I got a latte and it was very creamy. I like that they sell their house-made loaves of bread on the side! Unfortunately, no outlets for computers and no wifi :/ read more

The Mill brings together quality sourcing from a range of fairly local sellers, ranging from its baked goods to its coffee beans. I had the avocado toast and an iced latte when I came here. Coffee was excellent. The toasts on the menu here are best described as simply executed on impeccable ingredients. I was skeptical of what was literally just avocado on a really thick piece of bread--most places put on frills like egg, but the Mill really didn't need much else. The toast was some of the best bread I've had--hearty, chewy, full of the "everything" that should come on everything toast. The cracked pepper and salt were course and flavorful. Don't be duped by the simplicity. Sometimes quality without frills is the best approach. I'm still a little on the fence about how pricey it is, but no points lost for quality. I came here during peak brunch time on Saturday to file a few things for work, and was still able to nab a seat at the communal table in the center. Be ready to get fairly close with strangers, if that's something that bothers you. The space is beautiful, open and bright and when I came they had the doors open to let in the breeze. Outside seating is available and is lovely for chatting with friends. read more

In pre-COVID times The Mill was the kind of community place where you could expect to run into your roommate's ex, college RA, or favorite coworker -- all true stories. During COVID it's continued to be a community place (expect a small wait) but you can avoid unwanted social interaction if you've got the mask + sunglasses combo working for you. Everything was safe and distanced and running smoothly despite what seemed to be a smaller group of staff. It's pricey, but no more than any bougie coffee shop in San Francisco. It's not my favorite place for coffee or pastries which is why it's 4 stars instead of 5, but they do have some really unique and delicious offerings like their pistachio blackberry croissant! If you've never had fancy toast I'd recommend trying a slice before deciding if it's worth it (it is). read more

Pretty hipstery, but the coffee drinks were great. We didn't have any of the bread, but it looked and smelled great and seemed very popular. Edit: went back and had the bread. It was quite good and I'll add both times the people working the counter were very nice. read more

it's kind of disheartening to have to say this, but customer service folks need to be aware of the unconscious biases they hold towards black folks. i don't give a shit if you have black lives matter in your window or on your profile, you show that you mean that through your actions, not your words. i walked here to get a coffee and croissant in my sweatpants, hair up, glasses and mask on. this place is around the corner from my new apartment, and it was before 11, so i didn't care how i looked. i'm not trying to impress anyone, anyway. i stand away from the counter to read the menu that is 11 feet above the register, make my decision, and walk up to the register. the girl at the register kind of stares at me, i honestly don't even remember hearing her say hello, probably because i was completely taken aback by her staring at me head, to toe, back to my head in a way i could only read as judgmental, making me feel VERY awkward, and, upsettingly, unwelcome. i ordered my coffee and croissant, ran into someone i knew, and quickly left. i think it's best i frequent coffee shops that are more receptive and welcoming to POC. thankfully, they are not that rare in this area. read more

The first time I came here it was 5:30 pm, they don't serve bread between 5:00-6:00 pm (minus one star - why be open if you don't serve, maybe hire more staff) Came back another day, because I am a bread lover and my friend raved about the bread. Ordered a piece of the raisin bread. It is one tiny piece of bread with butter and sugar. (minus one star - poor value, way overpriced) Bread was not to die for, not even close, so disappointed. A loaf of store bought bread is better than this. (minus one star - poor quality of food) When I ordered there was only one person taking orders and a line. (minus one star - not very friendly service, lack of staff). Not impressed with this place, wouldn't come back again. read more

I tried their seasonal jam toast and almond butter toast. Both were delicious. The place was packed on a Saturday morning but there was seating outside. Inside, there's small tables along one wall and across from the pickup area. Then there's one long table. Utensils and napkins near pick up area and water across from it. I see that a lot of people here come to study or work as I've noticed many bring their laptops. It's "cute" and "hipster" as some may call it. read more

I was in that neighborhood at DMV's office. After my work was done, I was hungry and checked nearby cafes on yelp. Stopped here after checking amazing reviews on yelp. The decor and ambience of the cafe was great. I ordered myself an Avocado mash and latte. The coffee was good but sadly, I didn't like the avocado mash. It was a bit too salty and the flavor of lemon on avocado was too strong for my taste buds. The bread was good and soft. If I go next time, I will probably try something else. read more

This espresso and toasteria serves cushions of bread padded with preserves, honeyed nut butters, and oleic-acid rich avocado together with balanced espresso drinks that are lower on acid. I was eyeing a couple of the healthy choices at $6, but I went with a selection merely because it rang up at a responsible $5, before the drink add. There were homeless people taking shelter in niches across the street. I was hoping the business factors into their model a tax-saving, community-friendly donation of unsold items on a daily basis. (Aside: My reviews on Yelp seem to be going missing. I just posted a different review before posting this one, but the review tally stayed the same.) read more

I had plans in Divisadero area tonight and needed a place to keep dry from the rain until it started. I remembered The Mill was nearby and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try the infamous toast! Unfortunately I arrived after 5:30PM after work and was informed that they STOP SERVING TOAST AT 5PM!! I admit I was pretty disappointed, especially when I saw that they still had loaves of bread on sale by the wall. You can't just cut up more bread?! How do you stop serving your signature dish? :( Instead I settled for a PARMESAN GARLIC KNOT and a cup of HOT COFFEE. They're still serving Four Barrel coffee which was a little off putting due to the latest sexual harassment suit of former Four Barrel/cafe co-owner Jeremy Tooker. However, cold and sleepy times called for hot and caffeinated assistance ASAP for me. The plus is they have free almond milk to add to your drinks when you would expect that to be an extra surcharge. I enjoyed the chewy texture of the garlic knot and it packed great flavor with the sourdough, garlic, butter, red chili, and ranch sauce. I only wish it was heated more because the center was a bit cold. As a cafe, I expected some free wifi and outlets. Sadly none were available! This would be a difficult factor for patrons looking for a cafe to work and eat, so perhaps it's not expected that people linger here too long. Luckily I had my battery pack and was able to chill inside for an hour before I had to leave for my event. If I am in area I might stop by for the toast. But I will probably follow my conscience and support other local and ethical SF businesses in the area instead. read more

The line was a little long when we got there, however it went quickly. I ordered the toast with brown sugar and it was pretty tasty, and surprisingly filling. However, I thought it was a little pricey for what I got. I think this place makes for a great treat, but not really an every day routine cafe. Also, seating is no problem! Would love to go back and check out their pizza and fresh baked bread! read more

Okay, so $4-$6 is kind of pricey for toast. BUT you will get a amazing slice of toast. If you are willing to splurge for a slice of toast I think it is definitely worth it. For some comparison you probably spent 5-6 bucks on a cup of crappy coffee and this is better...lol What you'll get is a thick, freshly made slice a bread top with your favorites like jam, almond butter, cinnamon sugar or go all out with the avocado. I ordered their cinnamon and sugar and the bread was so soft and and bouncy. The cinnamon and sugar sounds pretty basic, but they nailed it-DELICIOUS! We also tried their adventure bread. And for $7 you think, really for this tiny loaf? Don't let it fool you, this this is packed with all the good stuff and a small slice will keep you going for the whole day. Totally worth it. Just take my money, just don't tell my husband. read more
