Today's post salutes The Mill...but not for its coffee/lattes... 

I enjoy coming to The Mill for toast; it's delicious! My favorite is the whole wheat poppy seed toast with almond butter and honey. I don't opt for the lattes here because I haven't ever enjoyed them on their own, but with a slice of delicious toast, I can do an almond milk latte.

So...the lattes here aren't that great; they're also tiny from a portion standpoint. The almond milk tastes super bitter, more so than other places, so they're definitely overheating it while steaming.  The espresso that they use could also be contributing to the bitter taste; it's not very flavorful and doesn't have that oooomph that strong espresso usually has.  

So why do I keep coming back to The Mill...? It's their toast!   The bread really compliments the toppings well. And the thickness is dead on; I've has toast elsewhere on thinner slices and although it's probably healthier, it's not as good.  And I must say that when I order my whole wheat poppyseed toast with honey and almond butter...it actually compliments the almond milk latte. The bitterness of the milk and espresso is diluted by the thick bread, the sweetness of the honey, and the creamy almond butter.  Mmmm! 

You should definitely stop by for some toast! I'm totally sold on it but I think I'll get my coffee elsewhere. Now if they just opt for peanut butter as a topping for the toast...

Almond butter toast with beautiful honey art. Yummy toast and beautiful presentation!
