The Mill was founded in 2013 by Nicholas, a Speciality Coffee Professional and Ilah Rose, an Artist. Their company began as a coffee stall at the Saturday Farmers Market in Midtown, where together they brought a cafe-quality coffee & tea experience en plein air. In 2014 they opened their first cafe a mere three blocks from the Midtown Farmers Market. The Mill I Street cafe is an expression of the couples fierce creativity and collective ambition for Specialty coffee & tea experience in Sacramento.

In 2017 the couple launched The Mill's coffee roasting program. Soon after they opened Mill cafe location in East Sacramento. The cafe site also houses The Mill's Coffee Roasting & Tea Studio, the first of its kind in Sacramento area. In this space they procure their coffee & herbal offerings, with 'state of the art' equipment and age old methods. 

Each Mill cafe is a unique experience, from the woodwork, to the ethereal installations, to the very drinks we craft by hand. The intentional space and depth honored at The Mill is an invitation for connection & creative flourishing, of course with a delicious beverage near by.
