Advertised, though not really ‘advertised’ at all, as a joint venture between Josey Baker Bread and Four Barrel Coffee, The Mill reminds me of summers and Sundays with my Grandfather as a child – coffee, toast, and the occasional pastry…the simplest of breakfasts, and yet here all grown up and far evolved from the days of Folgers’s and Vienna Bread from the local Kroger. Warm, well lit, wide open, and with ample seating even when crowds get large it should be obvious to those familiar with the purveyors and products involved that a visit to The Mill does not come cheaply but with each item prepped to order this is simply a place where you get what you pay for, the steamy Americano toting a $3 price tag and toasts and pastries ranging from $3.50-$4.00, the daily special raisin bread soaked with butter and sea salt particularly memorable and something my granddad would have never paid for but most certainly would have loved.
