The Coffee Mill

It’s unfortunate to write a bad review about a place I absolutely could not wait to go visit. I have to write a bad review due to the owner! I came here to have breakfast and I was looking forward to it as part of my Rehoboth beach visit ritual. I was hit with a wave of rudeness by the owner. First he was being rude to a gentleman standing next to me screaming at him which I found troubling. He kept saying that he was waiting for his staff that was taking care of me to hurry up because he was taking the longest 20 minute order, he said that 3x, on the 3rd time I got annoyed because not only was he berating his staff but making me feel rushed to make my order. So I said, it has not been that long and he went off telling me that I don’t know what I’m taking about, that I would if I owned a business among other things. Super rude, then I said I would never set foot in his establishment again and he said “good I don’t ever want to see you in here again!” I just said wow and he mocked me and mumbled something about “you people” I think he was racist. I found him really ridiculous and obnoxious. Then as I waited for my food I observed him go to the baked goods area grab a muffin, drop one on the floor then the girl working back there picked it up and put it right back in the fridge after it had fallen on the floor. Then My mother-in-law went In to take a picture of him for my review so that you are all warned about the owner, he saw her and came outside to give me a very strategic and calculated apology. It was not sincere at all. I felt worse about the apology after I found out he did it because he probably knew we would right a review since we took a photo! I will never go back here again! Don’t waist your money on over priced food for a racist owner who treats his staff and customers badly!

The gentlemen running the counter was extremely friendly, but the coffee I ordered (2 large caramel iced coffees) came out as smalls at first, and was probably the worst coffee I’ve ever had. Tasted almost like a coffee iced tea mix or something. And for $12 for two coffees I was extremely disappointed. It was also very crowded inside, and not enough room for people to wait for how long it took to receive your order. I really wanted to support small but I wouldn’t recommended this shop. Also… 1991 would be 34 years, not 1992.

I’m just here reading reviews and feeling people don’t have to be so critical. Down the alley and cozy, the Coffee Mill was approachable from the outside looking in. The owner is noticeably engaging, not always what you find anymore, good humoured too.! I had a bagel sandwich and iced coffee, my girlfriend: Iced latte and Açaí bowl. It was what we had been looking for. I like the close quarters effect, it just brings about conversation. The owner audibly pronounced to anyone listening to write a review, here would be mine, thank you and cheers. 👍👍
