Surprised that it is in the Y building. Excellent coffee and sandwiches, and very reasonable. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We recommend it!

Don’t recommend. Coffee was very watery and over priced. We waited 25 min for 2 breakfast sandwiches when we were the only ones there. When the food arrived we were missing some of it and the wrap was cold causing the rest of the food to get cold.

Friendly. Casual atmosphere and good music. Stopped in and had a couple delicious cappuccinos.

Such a wonderful surprise finding this coffee shop. We were in the area and hadn’t been in years and wanted to stop into a coffee shop with our four kids. Found this on the map and it looked to be a good size to fit all of us. George, the owner with his wife, were just the kindest. The kids had a bit of energy and were running around a little to which we tried to curb when we were ordering some items. He had small stuffed animals and let them choose. He said he wants this place to be a family place and loves having kids in. They had really good quality tasting coffee, husband got a cappuccino and I got an iced coffee, very smooth. Kids shared mini charcuterie of veggies and meat/cheese and sliced focaccia. Then a cupcake each that was the perfect size for them. We shared the CHEB sandwich which was delicious and fresh. Can’t wait to return and try their ice cream. Such friendly service and people! Thank you for letting us feel at ease for bringing our big family out.

Went there this morning and it was empty. I ordered a sandwich that was good. The waitress was polite. The owner never acknowledged me at all. Didn’t even look my way. No please and thank you. Looked mad at the world. First and last time I will be in that place. Repeat I was the ONLY ONE in the restaurant.

First time here and I was impressed!! I think my family and I will be regulars and I'm excited to try more things from the menu. Had a breakfast sandwich on a gluten free bagel and was shocked at how great it was! Excited to have a gluten free friendly place around. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond when my appt ran late and I was late picking up my order. They brought it out to my car and even re-made the sandwich so it was fresh without me asking! Super thoughtful and appreciated. Also bonus-got a blueberry muffin for my picky 1 year old and he loved it! New favorite!

My friend and I came here to study. We had a great time enjoying the atmosphere and music that wasn’t overly loud like some other places. I will say I was a little disappointed in the iced coffee I got, but when I go there again I plan to try some ice cream! It’s a nice space to meet and talk with people or study/work. The cotton mill cafe lost a star from me because the coffee was watered down, but I love the time I spent there and would recommend others to try something else for their menu!

We visited for the first time today. The breakfast sandwich is all high quality ingredients. The homemade biscuit was amazing !! The owner and his staff were welcoming and very friendly !!! Thank you Cotton Mill Cafe !!!

So impressed by this place! I can’t speak to the food, because we only had ice cream sundaes the day we visited, but such a great experience and atmosphere! The staff was incredibly friendly. We met the owner, who was so kind to my kids—even going out of his way to turn on the old Juke box for my son who was super curious about it. The decor is so fun and unique and brought me right back to my childhood. The kids keep asking me when we can go back. Very highly recommend!

Very calm atmosphere and very friendly staff. I’d definitely be back soon

Service was great but you pay for it literally...$6.90 for a double shot cappuccino...I'm pretty sure that is the most expense espresso I've ever had in my life and I'm 42 years old so that's saying something. It did taste better than Starbucks but not worth the extra money imho. I'd go broke if this was my regular place that I got coffee every morning.My only other complaint is that they had the doors propped wide open which would be fine on a nice summer day but it was 53F, cold and rainy outside. I came here for warmth and found none. Probably going to leave early as it's too cold to stay and do some work on my laptop plus I very much dislike when companies waste energy as there heat is on but it's just all going straight outside. Maybe they can afford to waste energy cause of how much they make on the cappuccino's! lol

Thrilled to have had the Cotton Mill open next door! Some of my favorites: The Baja Wrap, The Southwestern, The Gig and Meaty Flatbread, and I cannot forget their giant Chocolate Chunk Cookie!! This is a family business and it’s clear that George & Charity put a lot of care into the food that is prepared. In these uncertain Covid times I love being able to give back to a place like The Cotton Mill!

Gross!! DONT waste your time or money going here. Service is awful and food is mediocre at best. Ice cream was good but not good enough to bring me back!
