Coffee Mill — Restaurant in Idaho

My husband and I have been absolute regulars here for years. When I say we are there every day, we are. We’ve loved the coffee, the food and the staff. But today this changes. And it truly makes me sad. We just got a 3 lb cavapoo that stays in a bag. I have depression so he’s in the process of being a service dog, not just an emotional support dog. I brought him in there to grab a burrito quickly. It’s not like at this size and age, I can just leave him in the car or chained up outside. He’s a $6000 tiny baby so that won’t be happening! The baristas were very nice and asking to pet him. They even let me order and pay for food. Then the manager who is usually nice very rudely and accusatorially said he has to go, as if I knew the policy. I didn’t. When I explained he’s a service dog or being trained for one, she went into some explanation of that they don’t allow them for emotional support. What kind of place is this? I wanted to return my food since they let me spend money before telling me this. I could understand if he was running around, barking or even over 5 lbs. but he’s a tiny baby in a bag who is silent. There are many coffee shops that are dog friendly in Boise and would especially allow him in this situation including Java, the Alchemist, Starbucks and moxie Java. I’m truly sad that I can’t go in there any more as it’s...

The coffee mill is a cute little place along the greenbelt, with friendly staff, but dont expect to get the correct order, especially with the afternoon staff. It seems that a lot of them dont listen or take the time to get details right. If you order a dry cappuccino with three sugars, you will probably get a wet cappuccino with no sugars. If you want a half sweet mocha, the mocha will probably still be fully sweet. This happens everytime i stop by, without fail (problem only with PM staff, the AM staff is always on top of everything).

Afternoon staff no longer chats with customers as much as they used to just a few months ago. Besides that though, its a nice place to hang out in and get some work done. Fix the afternoon atmosphere, and make sure to make drinks correctly, and the coffee mill is the perfect...

I gave them two tries. The first time their drip coffee was lousy and room temperature and I paid extra to put a shot of espresso in it hoping that would add some flavor to the coffee. It didn't help - the drink was absolutely flavorless. My boyfriend lives right next to them, in this coffee desert area of town, and so, craving a warm, cozy and creamy beverage I tried again. Ugh. The dark roast had just been brewed and literally tasted like nothing. I was also wooed by cinnamon roll. The thing was so dense and hard that a steak knife had a time cutting through it and even the center of the roll had dry, dense, seemingly stale edges. Just such an $11...
