Dine in or out, they personally will hand you your items. They have lunch items, pastries, and cafe items. Pastry items are mostly gone by the time I have arrived in the afternoons. I would love to try some. Got to meet the owner briefly. Comes from a background of bartending and decided to pivot and open his own cafe. Not only is it just a cafe; you are able to enjoy wine as well! Love the combo. They are also about their community! Local business supporting other businesses. They have an area to pick up others business cards for services you may need.

I ordered an iced oat milk latte with their homemade honey sweetener and an almond croissant. I wanted to try more of their food menu, but their kitchen does not officially open until 10 AM and I was there too early. The service was friendly and attentive. I was the only customer in there at the time, but it was nice to hear a little bit of their backstory. The space is clean and modern and definitely the sort of coffee shop. I would want to hang out and spend some time in. As for what I ordered, the latte was creamy and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The almond croissant had a slightly overpowering almond extract flavor to it. If the almond extract was toned down a little bit, it would've been perfect. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their food menu at another time.

It's been a long time since we last been to 18 grams. It wasn't that busy then so it was nice to see them doing well. The staff were cool, definitely working hard to keep up with the business. There was a lot of seating both inside and out. We ordered on the kiosk but you can also order from the cashier. We didn't realize how much food items they now offered. There's different Filipino/Hawaiian dishes like a katsu, loco moco, and longanisa. They had baked goodies like ube muffins and pandan cookies. For drinks they were plenty of coffees, lattes, and teas. It was pretty busy so it took a while for our food to come out. It wasn't the best we had, but all the food was enough to satisfy our cravings. It was definitely a modern take on things that was enjoyable.

Any time we visit Sac, it is one of our go-to spots! They do an excellent job of sourcing their coffee beans along with roasting them. They've gotten exceptionally good at standardizing their drinks across the board as well. We have also tried many of their drinks outside of what we ordered today, including the 1987, 18 to the Brain, Thai Coffee, and Mexican Mocha. They have a food menu as well, which ranges from rice bowls to breakfast sandwiches. It's a great place to go to meet with friends, studying, or working on a project. They also have a good amount of seating inside, but it does fill up quickly! They do have WiFi (and outlets) and one single bathroom. Given we have been coming here for years, it is a must whenever you're in the Arden area!

The pastry cases looked amazing with a ton of options. I chose the prettiest cinnamon roll I've ever seen. It turned out also to be one of the tastiest. It wasn't dry or overly heavy. It was perfectly cooked and beautifully displayed. I also love that they serve temple coffee. My cup was perfect. They have breakfast and lunch items as well. There was a fairly long line, but it moved quickly and efficiently. There's lots of seating and it is well maintained and clean. It is easy to miss and tucked away in a small strip of stores just off of Fair Oaks Blvd near the intersection of Walnut. Plenty of parking out front. They close early in the afternoon and are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back.

They have both savory and sweet options and also serve coffee and specialty drinks as well as breakfast pastries. I've only ordered delivery but would like to check out the interior some day from seeing pictures in the past on Yelp- it looks like they have a racing theme. I've driven past it a few times and it's in a small strip mall. I like the variety of breakfast food they have, including donuts; it makes it hard but fun to choose something new to try. I've had donuts, the Midtown Morning, and the Smokin' Pig (pulled pork and apple grilled cheese). I can't speak to the service since I've never ordered from they directly but the food was always warm and fresh. Looking forward to trying more items in the future.

Summary: the drinks are unique, delicious, and the ingredients are freshly prepped for each drink…read more The black sesame hojicha, mango sticky rice matcha, and pistachio latte are stand outs. The people are friendly and knowledgeable if you have questions. It's family owned. Finding it is annoying because it's in a larger corporate building and shares the space with the sandwich spot. There's plenty of parking around the area, but only a few spots right in front of the entrance. Full review: Been coming here for a little over a year. Tried almost all of their drinks, cookies, and macrons, including several of their rotating specials. I've also had their savory croffle and it was delicious. This place is BY FAR the best matcha/coffee shop I've ever had. If you are a Dutch bros or Starbucks person, you may not love it. This place is not about dumping sugar into all their drinks. Flavor comes first, sweetner is secondary. Food/Drink: I'm not the coffee drinker, my partner is, and he rates his favorite as follows: 1. Pistachio Latte 2. Fish Sauce (it has a strong caramel flavor with a little saltiness, no fish flavor) 3. Cookie Butter 4. Black Sesame He's tried every coffee on the permanent menu and these are his favorites. Now for the Matcha/Teas. I can't pick a favorite, because they're all perfect. Not too sweet, and whatever the flavor, it stands out! For example, when they had a pistachio matcha, I watched them crush pistachios for my drink specifically. The flavor was so strong and they clearly know what they're doing picking these flavor combos, because it was excellent. I also love the banana matcha, the banana pudding matcha, the mango matcha, and the double matcha. But the star is the mango sticky rice matcha. I've only had it twice because it's a WHOLE MEAL in a drink. It's delicious and unique and the flavors are outstanding. It actually has all the ingredients of mango sticky rice, including cooked rice. It's amazing!! My personal favorite drink, that I've got the last 10 times I've visited is the black sesame hojicha. It is seriously the best drink I've ever had. Right now, I think they only have the double black sesame on their menu, but I've asked for this every time since it was on their specials menu and they still make it. The cookies and macrons and AMAZING. The s'mores cookie is my absolute fave and the damn crème brûlée macron is in my top 10 desserts of all time. The savory croffle is also a surprisingly good breakfast choice. I honestly thought there is no way they could be doing all of this well, but they don't put anything on the menu that isn't delicious and well made. Service: We've been here so many times that we've been lucky enough to talk to both the husband and wife that own the place. They are so damn creative and come up with the flavors for not only the drinks, but the pastries. They are both very nice. There are a few people working the registers every time we visit and they are helpful if you have questions and they're quick to get these drinks out even though they basically prep the ingredients fresh for each drink. Location/parking: This place is a pain to find. It is across the parking lot from the bank entrance, sharing a space with a sandwich spot. There are a few parking spaces in front of the store, but the parking on the main street is free. There is a lot of seating inside and large tables for big groups. There are even plug in areas at the bar like seating along the windows. Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays or it would be the perfect study spot.

There's also outdoor seating, which would be nice on a warmer day. Overall, it was a great place to sit, relax, and catch up with friends over tea.

There is seating inside as well as some tables and chairs outside as well. I found the coffee and food at The Mill to be excellent. There are many coffee and tea selections as well as some pastries in the front section and waffles. The waffles seem to be the only hot food item there, but it is very popular and is an item totally worth getting. The waffles is an excellent size and has a crispy outside and chewing interior. It comes with powdered sugar all over the top and your choice of jam or maple syrup. I went with the jam and I really enjoyed the waffle with it. The coffee was of very high quality. I had the cold brew with their sweet cream on the top. The cold brew was strong and the cream had a premium stiffness to it that standard coffee places don't do. It was not very sweet and for those who enjoy their coffee with less sugar, this is great. I found the coffee enjoyable throughout my time with it as I sat in the cafe hanging out with my friend. The Mill is a a top notch cafe and well worth a visit.

Their menu had different hot and iced coffees, teas, and matcha. We got their ice matcha, one with banana and one with raspberry. We originally thought they offered baked items but there were none at our visit. Matcha was good and you could taste the added flavors really well.
