THE COFFEE MILL

The Coffee Mill is the kind of café that makes you question whether it’s worth the hype. Sure, kids love the bug boxes, and Helen Vincent thinks it’s fantastic because her little one had a blast. But Marco Paolo wasn’t impressed with the sausages that tasted cheaper than a roadside snack. The log burner adds charm, but if you’re expecting consistency, you might be disappointed. Rach H had a meltdown over a tiny cupcake and a panini that was nothing but a glorified baguette. If you can survive the chaotic vibe, maybe the coffee will save you, but prepare for a mixed bag of experiences.

With some friendly staff trying their best, and the occasional cute kid’s corner, it's not all doom and gloom. Just remember to bring a sense of humor—and perhaps your own packed lunch if you're on a budget. If you’re lucky, you might catch Dan Wilson’s dream of a peaceful family outing here. But good luck if you’re in a rush and trying to dodge queues or rude service.
