The Coffee Mill

One of my favorite places in the world. I've been going since I was a child. It's so cozy inside, and always smells of coffee no matter the time of day. I have very distinct memories of waiting inside on a July morning, sweating to death, but enjoying a delicious bagel afterwards. The coffee is always good, the food is always good, and the service is amazing. Plus, this isn't your typical breakfast place that closes at 2pm. Now that I'm an adult, I go there for coffee in the evenings because no one can stop me. I love this place so much, and when I introduced my boyfriend (now fiance) to it, he fell in love too. Coffee Mill IS rehoboth.

This is a wonderful coffee shop. I visited it daily during my trip to the beach last week. The snickerdoodle coffee is delightful and I look forward to returning on my next trip.

The gentleman working cash register was extremely rude. I would not come back here. Drink was ok. Acai bowl was lacking over priced. But came in for a treat and left feeling like why did I just pay to be treated rudely just asking a simple question about there menu.

One of the greatest tragedies of modern life is how angry old men, discontent with something inside of themselves, choose to express their deep seated lack of fulfillment in the form of terrible rudeness. No where is this concept more apparent than at the coffee mill. Yesterday, I went to the coffee mill for perhaps the thousandth time (I have been a patron since I was ten). Recently, I have been attempting to reduce my environmental impact by using fewer single use plastics and bringing a reusable thermos with me when I get coffee. I asked for my thermos to be filled instead of a plastic cup, but the owner Bob said he would give me a plastic cup and I could pour it in myself. I asked if he could please pour it directly into my container so as not to waste plastic and he said that they don’t do that because it might spread germs (he later postulated to other customers that I could have hepatitis). I responded by telling him that it is common practice to fill up reusable containers (I have never encountered this weird excuse before) and that I was trying to reduce my environmental impact. In response, he yelled at me to leave the coffee shop and literally said “I do not care about environmental impact.” Other customers came to my defense and he yelled at them as well. If I had been a first time customer I would have been shocked, but I have been coming to the coffee mill for years and knew already that Bob was a jerk - especially to young women - so I guess I should have known better. I have watched for years as he belittled his employees and was repeatedly rude to me and other customers. I should have stopped coming here long ago, but needless to say, I will not be returning, and neither will any of my friends or family who are Rehoboth regulars. I initially felt angry at the treatment I had received from Bob, but I realized that people are only mean because of unhappiness that they hold inside of themselves. So I truly hope that he finds some way to find fulfillment and realize that being rude is no way to live your life. I also hope that the coffee mill continues to learn more about the impact of single use plastics. They have moved to paper straws, which is great, but throwing customers out for attempting to use a reusable container seems like a step in the wrong direction. Places like this, which perpetuate unnecessary hostility (and pollution), bring only negativity in the long term. There are plenty of other coffee shops that are less apathetic towards the environment and much more welcoming towards their customers. I suggest you go to one of those instead.

The aroma itself is addicting here. Coffee lovers will fall in love here with all of the coffee bean options and flavors. Such a wonderful place!

If I could I’ll give this place 0 stars, the guy who works there was very rude with my boyfriend and i for no reason. The coffee was ok but this place could have potential if the people who work there have a little more education. Don’t bother going there unless you wanna be treated rudely.

Been coming to The Coffee Mill for 20 years! Best coffee in town and then some! Great variety of drinks and a great place to sit outside and enjoy your beverage or pastry. Mel, one of the owners will make your morning brighter! Loves life and smiling faces!!

Coffee was meh and the gentleman who took my order was very arrogant. He had no urgency to take orders and made everyone wait while he did menial tasks like change coffee labels before tending to waiting customers. Then he made fun of a customer's name while the customer was still within earshot. It went something like this,"Hugh? I thought you said EW. I never understood that name. Why would anyone name their son Hugh? It sounds like EW". So rude. I was embarrassed for him.

Cute little place, but the barista messed up all three of our orders despite the man at the counter taking them correctly. Came here yesterday and the chai was barely able to be tasted, very much just hot milk.

Coffee is undrinkable, staff is rude and slow. This place has really fallen apart. Used to be good.
