I stopped by for breakfast on a Saturday afternoon and was seated fast. The services was quick and friendly. The food here was amazing and cooked perfectly. The jam made in house was next level, I put it on everything. When in town check this place out for good eats. They also have pastries too.

Amazing diner food! Crispy hash browns, creamy gravy, and the best corned beef hash from the griddle. Would definitely come again. One note - bathroom wasn’t great when I went. Not sure if this is a regular thing or just happened to be the case when I was there. Would try to use the restroom somewhere else before going

I love the coffee and always grab it on the go. Today I had time for a leisurely breakfast so I’m dining on the patio under a heat lamp on a rainy dreary Monday - how perfect for my taste buds! The house blend coffee is my favorite—it’s a combo of French, Italian and Colombian beans! We usually do delivery from The Coffee Mill but since I’m out and about I’m so glad that I’ve experienced the French toast in person! It’s delightful with their unique syrup and powdered sugar. I added a delish scrambled egg on the side. This may have to be my meal for the day from a calorie perspective but who’s counting! I also love the folks who make this place purr—they are sweet and kind. Drop by!

This is a great local cafe with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff that always make you feel welcome. The food is tasty with fresh ingredients, and there are seating options both in and outdoors that can accommodate a variety of group sizes. This has been my favourite breakfast spot for years and I feel like a member of the family when I'm here. Their coffee is wonderful as well, if you are just looking for something to go. Even if their kitchen is closed they won't turn you away hungry and will offer to make you a sandwich to go. This is the best cafe!

Quality: 5 Value: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Coffee Mill is a rare thing in Grand Lake: an affordable, humble, non-gentrified, and opposite-of-pretentious little family diner. They have all the great "American" style diner foods you could want, plus great coffee and snacks to go. They're not the fastest service, but its literally the same set of two or three staff every time you go in doing all the work - so you can get to know their names, and vice versa.
