It's all about the coffee at LA MILL, and you can choose among beans from more than half a dozen places of origin as well as among several methods of preparation including, but not limited to, vacuum pots, brewing and espresso, all in state-of-the-art equipment. But there's so much more to this stylish gem. Chef Michael Cimarusti (Providence) created a menu of creative yet casual food---everything from Tahitian squash soup to an Asian BLT---composed of first-rate ingredients that make for destination dining. Signature coffee drinks, which include "liquid tiramisu" and "coffee and a jelly donut," offer exciting new flavors that help set this place apart from all others. Tea lovers are well cared for, too: try the non-alcoholic "mojito," refreshing with its sprig of fresh mint muddled with limes and splashed with club soda and simple syrup. Come by early in the morning for a latte and a pastry, or relax over breakfast. Enjoy a gourmet lunch, or sit at the counter and plug in your laptop while you sip an espresso or two. Dinner brings the best dishes, everything from smoked salmon risotto to Arctic char in an intoxicating soy-butter sauce. Finish with a "liquid lollypop"---a Willy Wonka-esque creation that bursts in your mouth. The décor is as unique as the food and beverage---a massive space with clean lines, chairs covered in faux ostrich, shark and crocodile, an enormous brass chandelier and stylish flatware, glasses and plates.
