"The Mill is the poster child for oat milk cappuccinos and a light breakfast. And judging by the steady stream of fleece-wearing couples and families with Australian shepherds waiting in line to order, the people know it. The NoPa cafe serves toasts made on their thick-cut house-made bread, topped with things like avocado, cream cheese and pesto, seasonal jam, and cinnamon sugar. Add in a minimal, white-tiled space, lots of spots to sit, and shelves full of fresh bread (definitely take some black pepper parmesan buns home with you), and there’s really no better breakfast.
