The Mill

Been here a couple of times now, and it’s becoming a favorite. Excellent artisanal espresso / coffee, small rotating baked goods selection, fresh waffles. Calming atmosphere, relaxing playlists - wood tables and plenty of seating (limited outlets). Outdoor seating available too.

The Mill is a great coffee shop in Midtown. The coffee was delicious, and I ordered a waffle that was just as good—fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The seating is comfortable and well laid out, making it a nice place to relax or hang out for a bit. The service was wonderful, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Everything I had was solid, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Nice coffee place with nice atmosphere. I came for a pastry but the options are limited. There are other alternatives on the menu. I'm sure it's not the best coffee shop in town. I wouldn't mind going back though. It can get noisy.

The Mill on I is easily one of my main coffee obsessions in Sacramento. The space is cozy, rustic, and modern—basically an IKEA catalog as a coffee house. Sure, it looks like a place where the baristas might judge your life choices, but plot twist: everyone here is actually super friendly and chill. Like, I’ve been here a hundred times and not once has anyone scowled at how basic I am. Now let’s talk about the chairs. If you’ve got a bad back (hi, it’s me), prepare for betrayal. The seating feels... intentionally uninviting? Like it was specifically designed to scare off the "I'm just here for the Wi-Fi" crowd. And if you’ve got a group bigger than a Grindr date, finding a seat might feel like a game of musical chairs. But—BUT—on a nice day, the back patio is an absolute dream. Cozy, charming, and a little slice of Midtown magic. The menu? Minimal, but mighty. It caters to everyone from snobby third-wave coffee nerds to the “just need caffeine, please save me from Starbucks” crowd. They roast their own beans, and you can taste the love. I’m partial to their cappuccino. But let’s get to the real stars of the show. First: the dirty chai. The chai blend is homemade, it’s bold, it’s rich, it’s balanced... it’s basically the Michelle Yeoh of drinks—it does everything, everywhere, all at once. And I am here for it, but iced. Second: the yeasted waffle. Oh. My. Waffle. Life-changing. Pro tip: swing by The Mill, grab a dirty chai and a waffle, and walk over to the Midtown Farmers Market (where this place got its start, btw). Trust me—you’ll feel like a main character in a rom-com. Yes, the wait time can be a little on the slow side. Like, just long enough for you to start homescrolling Zillow. But honestly? I’m convinced it’s just the baristas putting a little extra love into every cup. How I break down my ⭐ reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom.

Great espresso and awesome place work and study! Honestly I do like Scorpio's single Oregon here than the one here currently... But overall they scored as a great place still

A perfect of Cortado unfortunately since it's almost end day I'm a lil late for the yummy waffle which is a must if you stop by here!!

Good atmosphere Love nature theme Coffee is good! I went another cafe they were brewing Mill brand coffee too, so must be good. Waffle was also nice and soft crunchy. Pastries are also good. Nice and relaxing place to stop by!

Vibes = 10/10, super cozy spot to hang out. Croissant was amazing (def a 5/5) and the coffee was solid too. Service was good, not over the top, but overall a really nice stop if you’re in Sac.
