Waffle in Hand, the Mill

Illustration by Serene Lusano

The Mill rolled out a line of waffles at the start of the year, and you can order them daily until noon. The coffee shop describes them as Liege-style, but that’s not exactly accurate. (For a true version of the Belgian specialty, hit up Volkswaffle.) Still, these waffles stand on their own: yeasted, fluffy and light with a marvelous chew. You can order them with seasonal jam, pure maple syrup or as “Waffle in Hand” ($4.25), the likes of which greets you in a paper to-go cone, dusted with powdered sugar and steaming hot. Consider it the tastiest hand warmer on a cool morning. 1827 I Street, www.themillsacramento.com.
