This morning, my wife and I finally planned to go check out their space for the first time. What more could you truly ask for than a cafe/coffee shop meets bookstore meets beer bar! My wife is more of an avid reader than I am so she enjoyed the book aspect more. They have a large menu of offerings drink wise with everything you'd expect from a coffee shop. I do wish they did a rotating seasonal special drink menu, as places usually have one or more great sounding drinks on those. Both my wife and I settled on an iced blueberry latte. Overall it had hints of blueberry and tasted more like milk than anything. Would not be rushing back for it specifically that's for sure. Food wise they have some in-house baked goods as well as bagels from Rose Foods and corssiants from Little Spruce Baking. My wife got a plain bagel with cream cheese while I grabbed a chocolate croissant. I did mess up by not requesting it be warmed up but it was still delicious! Will be finding more spots that have goodies from Little Spruce. The bagel was also tasty. Book wise my wife enjoyed browsing but did not find any books she needed to grab. She did enjoy reading a couple chapters of her current book while we sat by the large windows (good spot for world watching outside). We enjoyed our visit but have other spots we would be happier to visit again.

This was a rare, hidden gem with excellent food and service. We ordered for appetizers, fries dumplings, chicken satay, fried egg rolls, crab rangoon... they were all served with sauces and they were delicious. The portions were adequate for one person. We also ordered Udon noodles with beef which was tasty, very good ... well seasoned but little spicy heat. The portions were enough for taking home almost half the dish. The large Pho was a tasty treat! It had lots of noodles and flavorful broth. I did not think they gave enough green stuff, so i asked for another plate of sprouts and Thai basil. Our serve gladly and promptly brought another plate. If you go here, you'd want to ask for more.

Coming from CT I am a bit more used to a larger amount of chicken, broth, and noodles. However that does not diminish how good the food is. I would have ordered two bowls to go had I known. Finally, the service was very quick. We had barely put our order in and we were already heading over to pick it up because it was ready within 15minutes. I will definitely stop by again if I'm ever in the area and next time I'll definitely have a seat inside.

Of course they are huge - sized for American giants that require each croissant to have the caloric load of an entire loaf of dough. But I review coffee. And the coffee here - sucks. I ordered a flat white. What I received was an abomination. A way too large cup (12oz maybe?) filled to the brim with tepid, beige milk. I need not pontificate - it sucked. I took a photo, and dropped it into a nearby garbage can. Be a tourist, stand in line, and be disappointed (or thrilled if you are a completely undiscerning toadie) - or go elsewhere. Anywhere elsewhere.

My favorite part is that it still feels part of the mill system while having an updated aesthetic. It doesn't feel out of place - it feels right IN place. I normally come here to have a beer or two with a friend & catch up when I'm in the area, I enjoy their beers & they usually have one or two new drinkable things kicking around on their menu - I have yet to try a beer I haven't enjoyed. They have a fairly decent menu but I typically stick to pretty common mainstays - I've never had a bad experience. Service is always friendly & attentive.

We had to park at the lot near the mill buildings and water and walk a pretty good distance to get to the restaurant but I guess I could use a few steps. Walked in it was very loud where they wanted to seat us under the canopy where there were some unruly bar patrons so they brought us to a quieter area. We sat for a long while before being greeted by our server. But we still wanted to give it a shot. We ordered poutine with portobello mushrooms and the three tables around us got their full meals before we got our appetizer. Then, she took our main course order and like the app, the food took forever and we are usually very patient. The server was super nice but just was very slow and the fries in the poutine were cold. The main course was a root salad that my wife thought was pretty good with turnips and vinaigrette. I had clam chowder and calamari/shrimp dish ... I paid almost 20 bucks for the calamari and got about 5 pieces and 4 small shrimp and the chowder had no flavor. We then asked for a box to put her salad in and the waitress forgot. Until she realized as she was dropping off the check. I don't think we will be back .. maybe just for the outdoor patio ambiance but, not the food.

Everything tasted really fresh and tasty and the prices were pretty reasonable too. We'll definitely be back!
