The Wayland Mill

The biscuit and chashu gravy changed my life. All the baked goods were a revelation. Will be going back many times!!

Absolutely love this spot — it just works for literally any time of day. Breakfast, a light lunch, a quick happy hour, full-on dinner… it’s always a win.

Breakfast is my favorite: super good espresso/cappuccino, and the pastries are next-level. The savory biscuit is a must-try. They’re connected to St Bread, so of course all the baked and sweet stuff is perfection.

The wine & cocktail menu is excellent: It’s a smaller list, but it rotates all the time and everything on it is unique and seriously well chosen.

Go. You’ll get it once you’re there.

We are so happy to have discovered this new gem in our neighborhood. We went for dinner and tried several dishes. The food quality was off the charts. And the peanut butter cream pie was so good we had to order another piece. Atmosphere was modern, cozy and welcoming. Appreciated the friendly service. We want to become regulars and plan to recommend to all our friends.

This place is amazing. The coffee (Camber, Bellingham) was outstanding and very well executed. Side note, they retail a complete selection of Camber beans, saving you a drive up North. The food, was some of the best I have had in Seattle in the past couple of years. The biscuit and gravy was filling and delicate at the same time. The Saint Paul Sando was an unexpected and complex combination. The Sando was a great brunch dish as the egg checked the box for breakfast while the slaw and pickle provided a savory transition to lunch time. The atmosphere and service were top notch, not heavy handed and still present when needed. Yasuaki was on-site explaining the inspiration for the dishes, filling water and bussing tables which translated to an elevated and attentive experience.

I don’t like biscuits and gravy, however, the biscuits and gravy here are different—delicious, umami, fight the urge to lick the bowl. Cappuccino was excellent. Folks who work here are lovely. Also, be sure
to try the Hojicha Canele. Perfect.

Friendly staff and great food! Pastries and coffees are amazing but the buffalo karaage chicken on the dinner menu is the best!

Nothing but good things to say. Everything from the hot dishes to the baked goods to the drinks are absolute perfection. Great vibe, plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor), and free Wi-Fi.

A few highlights. The Hojicha latte with banana milk is creamy and dreamy. The porchetta sandwich is a creative fusion with super tasty focaccia and tangy vegetables to cut through the rice pork and sauce. The miso soup is unbelievably umami but also very salty, so have a jug of water for the table. The peanut pie is probably one of the best things I've ever tasted, but all of their pastries are phenomenal with perfectly precise seasonings.

This place is really something special. It has heart, warmth, and amazing food and drinks. It is a beautiful cozy and open space - and the owner is so kind and inviting. The coffee, pastries, and miso soup are knockouts. So excited to try the dinner menu!

I’ve been here four times since it opened. Everything is exceptional. The coffee cake is to DIE for, the fruit salad with shiso is so light and refreshing and perfect, and all the hot breakfast options are beyond delicious. Everything we’ve tried has been perfect and the service is always exceptional. If this place ever closes I’ll die. Sorry for the bad pictures, I always eat too fast for good ones!

Absolutely phenomenal! I had the meatloaf, potato salad, and yuzu lemonade. All three were excellent. Staff were very welcoming and I loved the choice of music (jazz!). Will 100% bring friends and family here for special occasions!
