We hear The Coffee Mill on Palmer Street in DTL is expanding into the Enterprise Bank space next-door. This will double their street frontage, as they lose the room in the back. They never did much with that warren anyway. It could have been a chill place to write, send emails, read this blog. but it remained a dingy space furnished w/ hard-back chairs. Ouch! Plans call for bistro tables and an increased area to lounge and sip the most economical cup in town. Big credit to owner Pattie who bought this biz from Lisa Genaway a few years ago and has kept the momentum going. She brightened up the joint w/ new hardwood and sunny walls. Not sure if this means more food items, right now Boston Chowda soup flies out the door at lunch. Is the C-Mill poised to take on Brew’d? What about Aiello, whose Zoka beans are so top-shelve they are practically cost prohibitive, but worth the credit-killing splurge. In the battle of the bean, who wins?

when is this going down?
Aiello definitely wins on coffee and pastries, but brew'd has more going on and later hours. Haven't been to the coffee mill (do they have espresso? that's what i'm usually looking for) but it strikes me as more of a lunch joint anyway.
in other words, I don't think there's a real battle here, they all have a different niche.
