Roasteries / The Mill

The Mill
Sacramento, CA, USA
The Mill was founded in 2013 by artist Ilah and specialty-coffee professional Nick Cookston-Minton as a mobile coffee stall at Sacramento’s Midtown Farmers Market, opening its first storefront on I Street in 2014 and launching its own in-house roasting program in 2017. Coffee is gently roasted in a traditional drum roaster by the founders, alongside herbalist-formulated house teas, at its Midtown café and its East Sacramento café and Coffee Roasting & Tea Studio on Elvas Avenue.
