    Matcha and waffle
    TJ Y.

    Amazing barista.. she was the sweetest and patient.. yummy waffle: crispy outside, fluffy inside and matcha is good if you like a more sweeter matcha profile.. super spacious good to study at and good lighting

    Woodsy vibes

    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.

    Oat Milk Latte to go
    Josephine W.

    Coffee always hits the spot. Plenty of pastries to choose from and the customer service is always outstanding. Definitely one of my go to spots when I am in the area. It's nice and cozy and plenty of open seats/tables.

    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.

    Matcha

    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
    Angie L.

    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.

    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!

    Vegan Strawberry doughnut, coffee cake, and cold brew
    Leilua L.

    Super great service. The girl at the front counter was so nice and recommended drinks when I asked and was super friendly and inviting. The vibes here are super cute and cozy and nice seating outside that is in the shade and plenty of people walking around and heading to the farmers market which is close by as well. So there is great people watching and dogs around. Some things my friends and I tried and what we rate them... Vegan Strawberry doughnut - medium texture good strawberry flavor - 4/5 Coffee cake - softer texture than the doughnut, whipped frosting and brown sugar crumbles - 3/5 Cold brew - 9/10 - bold flavor Oat milk vanilla bean latte - good coffee flavor profile, not overly sweet but sweet enough. - 8.5/10 Black coffee - 9/10 pure and simple The woman working there (I wish I asked her name) recommended the matcha latte so I'll deff come back here to try that. Loved this coffee shop and great location on a Saturday to hit up the farmers market.

    Ari M.

    A very cute and modern space. Definitely check out the outside space if you can. The latte took a bit to get, but so worth the wait for the quality of coffee.

    Cute coffee counter

    In my attempt to support local business and boycott the chains, I discovered The Mill today. Charming little coffee shop with a small parking lot in the back and little outdoor seating. I had an 8 ounce cappuccino (2% milk - they didn't have nonfat) and a plain croissant - the baked goods come from Estelle's! Coffee was smooth and tasty! The barista was kind and helpful. Overall great experience!

    Food: 3/5 They offer pastries and a plethora of coffee/ tea options. I purchased the banana loaf, which was delicious. I asked the cashier to warm it up but she didn't have a microwave or anything to do so (womp womp). Nonetheless, it was still good. I also had a chai tea it tasted okay. A little bland. Service: 5/5 The customer service was pleasant. No complaints at all. Ambiance: 4/5 Cute, clean with outdoor seating options.

    Nice coffee and good pastries. The place is clean and has a minimal, calm vibe. It is a good spot for a quick drink or a relaxed break.

    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.

    This is by far my favorite coffee shop in the Sacramento area…read more I love their lattes, and I love their tease even more they have really incredible pastries.

    I was looking for a nearby coffee shop and saw this was a block away from an appointment. I viewed…read moretheir Instagram page and noticed a lovely new spring menu. The carrot cake latte caught my eye. I placed my order with a friendly barista. She made sure to ask what size drink size (16 oz or 20 oz options for an iced drink) and if regular milk was okay. There were plenty of alternative milk options, but I believe there is an extra fee for adjusting so make sure to ask if that matters. I noticed a nice combo option on one of their signs offering a drink and bagel sandwich for $13, before 2 pm. Specific options only, but I will for sure try that next time. There were seating options inside and outside. It seemed like a decent spot to get some work accomplished in a relatively quiet environment. My drink was prepared quickly and had a good ratio of coffee to cheese foam. The cutest little carrot topping was added too. I actually wished there was a little more ice added to my drink. I went home and added it myself and the iced latte was my ideal temperature.

    I finally checked out Druthers Coffee Shop and I am already planning my next visit…read more I ordered the Crocodile Pear savory breakfast waffle and the Rose coffee, and both were just as beautiful as they were delicious. The waffle was perfectly balanced, crispy and savory, topped with fresh avocado, thin radish slices, and pickled onions! WHICH I AM NOW OBSESSED WITH! That added the perfect pop of flavor. And the Rose coffee was a not only beautiful but rich in flavor. It was smooth, lightly floral, and finished with the prettiest latte art that made it almost too pretty to drink. You can tell the barista's are very passionate about their drinks. The atmosphere, and service was wonderful. If you are looking for a spot that delivers both aesthetics and quality, this is it. I loved the latte so much I ordered a second one to go! Highly recommend

    I was excited to see Druthers when I was browsing around to see the cafes and coffee shops around…read moremy neighborhood. My boyfriend and I decided to walk our pup on Sunday morning! It's located in the Sutter Park neighborhood which is a little hidden, but it makes it a great quiet neighborhood! I love how there's outdoor seating so you can bring your pup and people watch while eating/drinking your goodies. We got two breakfast sandwiches, one with bacon and one with sausage. For coffee, we got the Drunthers House Coffee and Coffee Cake Latte. The breakfast sandwiches are definitely filing and will keep you full. It's on the heavy side so you'll want to take a nap after! We both liked the sausage better out of the two. The coffee was meh. We couldn't really taste the flavors and just a personal preference, but not the biggest fan of acidic coffees. Overall, really cute place and love that it's in a neighborhood giving that neighborhood cafe vibe. Things are a little more pricy here for what you get so that's something to consider!

I got adventurous today, and ordered the Korean Fried Chicken, which eas served on white rice, with KimChi, Sliced Jalapeños, pickled cucumbers and shredded carrot, with 2 sunny side eggs. The chicken had a nice saucyness to it, that had a very slight heat to it. The breading was not over fried, chicken tender and juicy. All the veggies were fresh and packed full of flavor. Overall, the dish was a nice change of pace and quite delicious. My wife had the Prime Rib sandwich which came with au jus to dip, and fries. Her sandwich was tasty, nice proportions , but the au jus could have been richer. Service and ambiance is on point, with a vibrant bar area that has a wide variety of options from beer to mixed drnks and wine. Parking is available street side at meters, or in several lots or garages within short walking distance.
