Mill Mountain Coffee & Tea

I went there for the first time today around 11ish. It wasn't that busy. I love the outdoor seating arrangement. The inside decor is pretty relaxing. It's pretty spacious unlike some Starbucks I can name. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I recommend the Mocha. I had an egg, cheese and bacon omelette that was really delicious. I highly recommend this place for coffee and cafe lovers.

Update: I decided to give it one more try, figured I'd get just a plain black cup of coffee. Unfortunately, it tasted straight up like it was steeped in rolling tobacco, and not in a good way. I feel bad giving such a low rating, but their coffee is really not good. I've been here 5 separate times with months in between wanting to give it another chance, and each time their coffee was pretty bad with no real flavor. I usually get a latte and they don't seem to use any technique to steam the milk, they just stick in the steam wand and blast it. They always scald the milk, and the espresso is not strong at all, so even a 12oz latte with a double shot just tastes like hot milk and I feel like I've wasted $3-$5 on something I end up throwing out before I'm even halfway through it. I really wanted to like them because I'd rather support a locally founded business than a chain like Starbucks, but unfortunately that's not the case. The staff is plenty nice and the establishment itself is neat and inviting, but for me it's first and foremost about the coffee itself.
