The Cotton Mill Cafe

Great vibe, tasty coffee, and amiable atmosphere!

This place is easy to miss, but I recommend you seek it out. I got the "Big Breakfast" with a hot chocolate. The breakfast consists of eggs, toast, bacon, and home fries. As it says in my bio, I'm a big breakfast fan. I've tried most of the breakfast joints in the area, so I was surprised I missed one right nearby me!

I've been on the hunt for good home fries in the area and it's been sorely disappointing. This is the first place that I've actually enjoyed them—the first place that had the b*lls to actually season the things. (Seriously, I can't believe how bland the northshore is.) My over easy eggs were cooked to perfection (and they were large and fresh-tasting), the bacon wasn't too crispy, wasn't too soft, though a little thin for my personal preference. The toast was thick, but light and fluffy. The hot chocolate was rich but not overbearingly so, and wasn't scalding hot, but was still warm enough to enjoy. The whole meal was served at the perfect temperature. The price was fair (I paid $10.99 for everything), and the size was perfect: big and filling, but I cleaned my plate.

The interior is lovely and clean and the staff was lovely. They were attentive to my experience, but not disruptive of it. I honestly felt like they were mistaking me for some sort of public figure for how nicely I was being treated. Just an overall great experience. I look forward to returning.

Great customer service on a very convenient location.

Just tried this place today. Great food, great customer service! It's nice to see more family owned businesses in Beverly, definitely recommend.

If you're living at Link 480, the decision to come here is a no brainer. Good coffee and solid baked selection (I had their cinnamon raisin bagel) for a great price. Incredibly convenient especially with winter coming up. They'll even deliver to your apartment! (In Link 480) Stop in and say hi, they're very welcoming and the interior they've put together is cozy too. I look forward to them being a part of the community.
