The Mill Cafe - Dover-Foxcroft, Maine

What’re you doing for breakfast while you’re in the area? The answer should be: going to The Mill Cafe. This place is awesome. Fresh food cooked to order, delicious lattes, and a really charming modern atmosphere with a rustic twist. I needed to find a place to get some work done, my girlfriend needed somewhere to warm up, and we both wanted a hearty breakfast. We made the right choice.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Mill Cafe and Restaurant located in the historic mill, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The 3-course dinner was outstanding, offering a generous portion of delicious food at a very reasonable price.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a beautiful rustic tone that perfectly complemented the mill's historic charm. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were in for a treat.

The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who ensured that our glasses were always full and our plates were never empty.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience in a unique and historic setting. My partner and I have dinned in and around the area of Dover-Foxcroft , this had become our favorite place to haunt! We can't wait to go back… Next weekend!!!!

Went for breakfast. Ordered a flapjack breakfast with blueberries. It was a massive plate and very delicious. The bacon was thick and crispy, just like it should be. The breakfast burrito was also a huge portion. Wonderful view of the dam. We will be returning.

Well....the atmosphere was nice. I certainly expect to pay more eating out in today's financial downturn. However, I feel it's kind of crazy to pay $13 for two pieces of French toast, one strawberry, and four blueberries. I got a can of coke. Then you figure in a tip. So, when all said and done, it was $20. Yikes!!

A very disappointing lunch, one of the worst dining experiences I've had in quite some time. We ordered the Double Decker Smash Burger, Chicken Quesadilla, and 2 coffees. The cost for these two small meals was $46+, with the tip it totaled $55+.

The burger came with onion rings. The onion rings were decent and the burger was simply average. The quesadilla, which is served as a stand-alone item, was the absolute worst I've ever had in any restaurant. Seriously, the chicken quesadilla served at Applebee's for a much lower price is more flavorful and provides a far better value (and that's really saying something!). It was literally nothing but a bunch of shredded, non seasoned chicken with a smattering of melted Mexican cheese. The menu gave the impression that it came with onions and peppers, but that wasn't the case.

When I went to the counter to inquire about the lack of onions and peppers noted on the menu for the quesadilla, I was told I needed to specifically order them on it. The staff offered to go cook some and bring it to me when ready, but I mentioned that by the time they were ready the quesadilla itself would be cold, which doesn't make for a very good quesadilla . They just said okay, we'll let the owner know that the menu description isn't very clear.

To their credit, there were a few good points about the place. The only decent things I found about the place was the freshness of the coffee (free refills), the gluten free (though outrageously priced) menu options, the interior decor, the window view when dining inside, and the option to dine outside.

This small lunch for two was way pricier than it should be, or needed to be when considering portion size and quality, and that alone is enough for me to never return for a second try.

I highly recommend that this is not a decent choice for lunch. While I did note what was good about the place, the terrible aspects outweighed the good to such a significant extent that this place warrants only 1 star. They ought to be ashamed to serve such sub-par offerings at such exorbitant prices. Never again.

Overall this is a decent place. The atmosphere was wonderful. It’s placed right on a river. It’s has an industrial feel with a modern flare. The food was delicious but I do feel as though it’s a bit pricey for the area. The California grilled cheese was absolutely delicious. The service was great but it was also fairly dead. One big draw back is parking is very limited.

I just stopped in here for the first time today and had a wonderful experience all around. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, the food was incredible, and the atmosphere was just perfect. Outdoor dining has become really important to me over the past few years and their setup is beautiful and comfortable. The interior space is so cozy and relaxing. I haven't tried dinner yet but we're planning to come by next weekend and are really looking forward to it given the quality of the lunch we had! The delicious fresh fruit served on the side was a genuinely lovely surprise to an already great meal. This is exactly the sort of spot I was hoping would pop up within a thirty minute drive from my home and I'm so happy we found it. Thank you for the experience!

(Edited to add that it looks like they need to update their hours on here; they offer dinner Thurs - Sat from 5-9pm!)
