COFFEE Mill — Restaurant in Longview

I'll start by saying I'm not a coffee drinker, or at least that's what I was forced to convince myself after years of being underwhelmed by every cup of coffee I ever had.. I never got caught up in the Starbucks craze. I'm not going to bash Starbucks, because they're apparently doing something right, but I've never been satisfied with the taste of their product. I never really could explain what I didn't like about it. I just assumed I was meant to enjoy only the smell of coffee, not the flavor. But then Coffee Mill happened.

This is the way coffee is meant to taste. Terry knows his stuff. He was gracious enough to talk to my wife and me for a bit one day, and he has obviously taken the time and effort to get educated in the science behind making great coffee. It's clear he takes what he's doing here seriously.

More importantly, I have to applaud the customer service at Coffee Mill. I wish I could address each barista by name, as we've never had anything but pleasant experiences, but we particularly enjoy being helped by Katie (spelling?). She is always so polite and friendly. Furthermore, I have never experienced a business in which the person knows what to make without me having to order it, but it feels like Katie knows us. When she opens the window and greets us with a genuine smile, she's already writing "Iced Cafe Mocha with Jazzy Java". After so many disappointing years of frequenting Dominos and not getting the same attention, it's so cool to finally be able to feel like a "regular" somewhere. It may be a trivial detail to some, but for me, her ability to remember us after helping so many people shows she truly cares.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Coffee Mill is honestly the best coffee I've ever tasted. I sincerely hope they continue to...

New in town so was looking foe a coffee place. I usually do Starbucks but since they have taken all their sugar free flavors away minus the vanilla I no longer go. I came to Coffee mill and it was wonderful the flavors were . Lacked the coffee taste I look for so mostly had sugary flavors but still good . So came back a second time today and wow I couldn’t get the girl at window to even talk to me. Asked her if they still the hocus pocus, she shook her head no . I then explained was my daughter first time and my second time and I didn’t know sugar free flavors as of yet . She showed me the menu still not wanting to talk to me at this point I seen . I asked if they had a certain flavor she shook yes . My daughter said out loud does she not talk to her customers ? Not one word and she treated us like we were not welcomed . She gave us drinks one with a spout to drink but my daughters hands straw lid she wouldn’t give us a straw either . Never will I return to such...

Great service! Friendly and welcoming people. I've been going for a bit, and always get the Caramel Frappe for a sweet treat here and there. I have gotten a couple of other drinks as well. I got a White Chocolate Mocha here recently, which was really good. And then I got the iced Wonderland Sugar Cookie Latte, with the cookie cold foam not too long ago. It was okay, not bad, but it reminded me of the Caramel Frappe a little, not what I was expecting, so that was the only drink, so far, I was disappointed in.. Overall I enjoy Coffee Mill better than Starbucks, and rather give my money to locally own businesses than a place like Starbucks. Highly recommend checking...
