    Super cute spot - stopped in for a coffee - I got a Carmel latte - soo good!! The staff was friendly and helped us pick off their menu with suggestions. Super helpful ! Clean, friendly and fast service

    Matcha latte with oat milk $7.05 + $0.90 oat milk (5/5)

    Tasty drinks, delicious waffles, and a cute space with fast service. Street parking only.

    Great location for a quick pick up before the midtown farmers market. Went around 10:30am and we were able to order quickly and head out with tasty drinks. I was a fan of the cold foam but would love to see more seasonal drink options outside of the every day menu.

    I stopped by this cafe on a weekday morning, and I loved the sunlight that was coming into the shop along with the open space and lightly colored furniture. The space itself is warm and inviting, and service was friendly! I tried a latte, and it was comforting and tasty drink for the morning, giving me the energy I needed to start the day.

    Love this place for the cute outside look of it. Lots of natural sunlight and jut this cute house vibe from the outside. Inside is full of light. I will say the seating is really not great/ comfortable for a long time but their drinks are good and pastries too (although everything is pricey)

    Wafflle $7.75 and Jam $1

    I went on a Monday and got an ice matcha and waffle with jam on the side. Loved the music being played, it made for a nice working environment! It was crowded by 10am. The matcha was $7, waffle was $7 and the jam was $1 extra so a little pricey. I would get the matcha again, sweet and flavorful!

    Super great coffee, I got an iced vanilla late with their vanilla bean syrup and it was so amazing, I will definitely be coming back just for that. And the waffle was delicious too, super fluffy and topped with the perfect hint of sweetness from the powdered sugar! Baristas were sweet too :)

    Felt like stopping in after strolling the farmer's market this Saturday. No long line which was a treat. Great service and seating where most were working. Something about the light wood paneling and tables makes this shop quite inviting and grounding. I got the pink bourbon Colombian drip and it was plenty good. A favorite spot for a coffee for sure.

    I needed a coffee fix while working at the office, so my coworker and I decided to walk to The Mill since she recommended their coffee. I went with a vanilla bean latte with almond milk. The coffee was really good, but I'm not sure I could make this a regular stop because of the price. A 16-ounce latte cost me $8.81 before tips, which is definitely higher than what I usually pay at other coffee shops.

    Cassia cold brew & matcha sparkler
    Gillian A.

    Yummm the matcha powder used here is goooood, and no skimping on it in drinks either!! I had the matcha sparkler and it was very refreshing. Hit the spot on a warm day. The cassia cold brew was a bit disappointing. The brew itself tasted smooth but the cream was bland and acted more as cup filler. Would have enjoyed a regular cold brew much more. Of course I had to try one of the iconic yeasted waffles here!! The waffle in hand was super light and crispy! Standard waffle taste. Reminds me a lot of something I would find at, like, Disneyland as an on-the-go snack lol. A small treat-yo-self kind of thing. Lastly, I tried a vegan spiced coffee cake donut that was in the display case. Pretty tasty vegan donut. Not overly sweet. Like the waffle it would make a great complement to any of the drinks here. Friendly and patient staff. I visited on a Friday at around 11 am. Short ordering line at the time and most of the seating was occupied. Didn't have too much trouble finding no-fee 1-hour parking along 18th Street.

    I came to this place after a workout class right around the time it first opened. I ordered a hot latte with half vanilla and half caramel. I do say the latte was a 5/5 very delish. My friend got their matcha and said it was pretty good. We were the first customers so our drinks came out quick! I will say my heart did sort of drop as our total came out to a little over $16. The mill has some outdoor seating where we were able to wait for it to open. It's cute inside but my it echoed so bad and we're pretty loud talkers. However as more people came in the noise seem to be drowned.

    Caramel latte and pumpkin pecan muffin

    This is my go to coffee spot! They have a delicious caramel latte that's perfect if you like your coffee on the sweeter side. And they have a lot of good pastries, all of which I believe are gluten free. They have some indoor seating but I prefer the back patio on a nice sunny morning.

    Bambi & I get our white mochas with almond milk.
    Michelangelo S.

    Mmmmmm, Mocha Mondays @ The Mill Have Never Been Better! SITREP Bambi and I were in the mood to caffeinate to prepare for the President's Day Protest at the State Capitol. and so there was no place better for us to trek to than The Mill to get us in the *right head space*. THE SETUP The Mill has a sah-weeeeet array of delicious coffees AND taste treats and we definitely took advantage of this! * My eyes didn't get past the Strawberry Donut, so my low-glucose diet was already a goner at this point; so, * So I tried to make up for it by getting a sugar-free Mocha to *ratchet down* any deleterious sugary overloads. BOTH were outstanding, and Bambi was quite happy with hers as well! OUTSIDE PATIO We actually took advantage of the rear outdoor patio on this occasion and this proved nice because it was nice and quiet with only two other couples there as well. BUT it was really cool since the sun doesn't really break through the room or high walls very well - more of a concern for Bambi than for me. THE LOWDOWN The Mill is an excellent spot to chill and prepare for your next adventures!

    What is the parking situation like?

    There is street parking available. I've never had problems finding parking nearby.

    How long do they serve waffles for? What's the cut off time?

    Hi, so I’m trying to remember the exact time I believe it was 12:30pm for the fancy waffles but they serve the basic handheld plain waffle all day.

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!

    First time here last weekend and it did not disappoint…read more Restaurant and decor were so aesthetically pleasing. Parking was quite easy as it's in a big plaza. High ceiling with low and high seatings with tables and outside seatings as well. You can order to go and come to pick up. We saw lots of ppl do that. Or for there, you can order on the kiosk or with the counter cashier. Food and coffee orders were amazing. Such great flavors and large portions. We would come back again if we were in the area. Pricing is not cheap but we think it's worth it. Loco moco with Kim chi?!?! Never had this combo before and will need to have it again. Longanesa egg sandwich, I want to have that every day. The flavor combo was soo good that it's been a week since I had it, I want it again. Recommend for sure!

You can still taste the espresso bitterness that's perfectly balanced with the oat milk and a hint of sweetness that leaves me thinking about when can i come back and get another cup of it.

Until then, I'd say you should DEFINITELY make the drive out to grab a cup of coffee (and maybe a Turkish delight or two). You won't regret it.

The cheesy layered pastry is the standout for me, it's so good that I'd honestly come back just for that! The one thing I wasn't a fan of was the traditional chai. I really wanted to love it, but I think the house chai recipe could use some reworking. A little more depth and balance in the spices would make a big difference. Currently it's more of a driver stand flavored chai rather than a traditional chai served Pakistani style. Overall, there's a lot to enjoy at Qisa, and I'm excited to see what they bring to their new Natomas location. I'll definitely be back for that cheesy pastry!

    Now that I am frequenting the office more, it provides me with an opportunity to discover "new to…read moreme" coffee shops in the downtown area. Looking forward to catching up with a friend, I found it ironic that she suggested Chloe Ca Phe & Roastery - considering that it was at the top of my Yelp bookmarks. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted by a beautiful purple right-hand drive Nissan Skyline! I honestly don't know if this happened by chance or if my friend chose this particular coffee shop due to my love for cars. After I was done gawking at the Skyline, I approached the front counter where a friendly employee greeted me ready to take my order. Since the fall season was near (its already fall at the time that I'm drafting this review), I decided to go with the Sea Salt Latte - which was an option on the fall menu. Less than five minutes later our orders were ready. I found it very personable that the employee made pleasant eye contact and said "enjoy your coffee Raheem" as he handed it to me. While I sipped on my delicious latte and caught up with my friend, the nostalgic sounds of 90's and early 2000's R&B played in the background. Chloe Ca Phe & Roastery is my jam...I look forward to making a return visit in the very near future!

This time, it just tasted like a green coconut water when previously there was a beautiful balance between the matcha and coconut flavoring creating a refreshing caffeine hit. Unfortunately at ~$8 a cup I don't think I can risk another bad one.

Definitely a favorite in our household!

    Bang average, with prices that suggest they're serving gold leaf…read more TOMO Tea House is one of those places where the presentation is doing considerably more heavy lifting than the food. The chilli wonton soup was genuinely good, probably the standout for me. I'd happily go back for that. The cinnamon rolls were alright. I tried the Biscoff Crunch, Dubai Pistachio with Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Banana Pudding flavours. They looked the part and were decent enough, but nothing that had me thinking, "Bloody hell, I need another one of these." The waffles, unfortunately, were a different story. They weren't cooked properly through the middle, chewy and gooey rather than crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The Biscoff flavour was also barely noticeable. The drinks are very much geared towards the social-media crowd: lots of milk, lots of toppings, lots of visual appeal. If you enjoy taking a photo of your drink before taking a sip, you'll probably have a field day. And then there's the price. For what you're actually getting, it feels rather steep. The food is, at best, mediocre in several areas, yet the prices seem to suggest these ingredients were mined personally by King Charles. Ironically, I actually would have gone back for the chilli wontons, banana pudding and Biscoff pudding. But the experience around their influencer/collaboration side left a rather sour taste. If you're a collaborator or influencer, BE WARNED! No real communication or courtesy message. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if you're going to deal with people, a simple response goes a long way. But then again, they perhaps cherry-pick whom to interact with based on their social media activity. And finally, watching someone at the counter struggle with some basic maths while taking an order was certainly an experience. I'm all for supporting people, but perhaps the calculator deserves a little more screen time than the Instagram account. Overall: some genuinely good items buried underneath a lot of hype, presentation and rather ambitious pricing. I'd happily return for a couple of the things I enjoyed, but I wouldn't be rushing back for the overall experience. Food: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Presentation: 8/10 Social-media appeal: 10/10 Would I return? For the chilli wontons and a couple of puddings, yes. For the rest... probably not.
