At the Mill on Leavenworth, 90s coffee nostalgia meets a modern, cozy hangout

By Sarah Baker Hansen

I remember in 1996, when I first discovered the downtown Lincoln Mill Coffee shop, it felt like it belonged to me.

I drank countless cold granitas — a frozen coffee slushy, basically — on its Haymarket patio on warm spring days while studying journalism at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Then, I was still a coffee novice, so my drink of choice during the winter months was a steaming hot, chocolatey mocha, which I drank seated by the window, most likely reading a print copy of the Daily Nebraskan, the student newspaper where I worked.

When I graduated in 2001, I knew one of the things I was going to miss the most were the days spent lingering with a book or newspaper at the warm, cozy, welcoming Mill. I only had a desktop computer then — what a concept! — and smartphones didn’t exist. It was just me, my drink, my printed-on-paper reading material and some of the best people watching I’d ever encountered in my young life.

Now, with the opening of Omaha’s first Mill, tucked into an old art deco building on 31st and Leavenworth Street, I’m rediscovering those moments more than 20 years later just minutes from my home, again.

It’s the best kind of deja vu.

Coffee culture in Omaha has grown a lot since the days of the 1990s coffee shop boom — this was when the show “Friends” was still new, my friends — and for me, The Mill fills a niche that’s a mix of nostalgia, comfort, and honestly, simple, good coffee.

The beans are not as complex as the ones you’ll find at Archetype. The drinks are not as finely crafted as the ones I’ve ordered at Rally in north Downtown. There’s no extra creamy, vegan pistachio latte like the one we discovered at Amateur Coffee on Cuming.

Though I love all those shops, I go to The Mill for specific, easy drinks, like a cup of their gently flavored hot hazelnut brew topped with steamed milk, or a cold brew mixed with house made cookie butter syrup that gives a hint of Biscoff mixed with Trader Joe’s speculoos. It’s divine.

The shop also has the locally owned chain’s first drive-thru, which I have taken advantage of more than is probably acceptable.

The Mill opened in Lincoln in the mid-1970s by the owners of a bicycle shop who wanted to upgrade their coffee, eventually opening the first Mill in a spot adjacent to the bike space. That original shop moved into its current space in Lincoln’s Haymarket district in 1988 and began to roast its own coffee beans, according to current owners Dan & Tamara Sloan and the story shared on the shop’s website.

In addition to that Haymarket location, the Mill has locations in Lincoln’s College View neighborhood, on the NU Innovation Campus and inside the Telegraph building.

I exchanged several emails with Tamara, but we were not able to schedule a phone call before my deadline.

Inside, the Mill Leavenworth has an updated version of that worn-in cozy vibe I so loved about the original Lincoln location. Chairs are comfortable and abundant. There’s a trendy but appealing library wall covered with a literal rainbow of books. Lighting is soft and warm. And, after 5, the bar seating area becomes an actual bar, with a menu of beer, wine and house-created cocktails, along with a limited menu of savory snacks.

I’ve spent several hours during the day and in the evening at the Omaha Mill, and I’m not the only one. Every time I visited, the place was packed. Of course, a few people still read newspapers, which I found deeply comforting. But most were like me: headphones on, laptops on, work hours being logged. To that end, I can hardly believe how many wall outlets the shop has, tucked behind curtains or underneath chairs. It’s impressive. Coffee culture has changed, and the Mill has, too.

I tried a handful of the baked goods on the menu, and my top pick is the impressively chunky hippie cookie. I don’t eat many cookies, but this one is worth the indulgence, packed with crunchy walnuts and pepitas and stuffed with milk chocolate chips throughout, it’s got a soft-crisp-crunchy thing going on that’s deeply appealing. It’s also not dry and hits that sweet spot between under-baked and too brown. If you feel like a treat, consider this.

The banana bread is a classic, tender and moist, with nuts and a sweet, banana-forward finish. A cakey lemon poppyseed muffin is one I’d skip in the future; it was a little too sweet for me and I wished for a more lemon forward flavor and more poppyseeds.

Every Mill location has a large retail area in front, and this location does, too. There’s no shortage of t-shirts, travel mugs, hoodies, coffee and tea brewing supplies and Mill-branded knick-knacks. (Yes, I want them all.)

There’s also a coffee and tea retail area, where customers can buy loose-leaf teas and whole coffee beans in a wide variety of flavors, single origin blends and custom Mill creations.

For several years, I’ve ordered bags of Mill coffee beans from Lincoln, and it’s what we brew at home on the regular. Some of my favorites are the Sulawesi, an Indonesian medium roast coffee with flavors of molasses; the Mill Blend, a lighter bodied coffee with fruity notes and an earthy finish that is one of the shop’s signature blends; and the aforementioned Hazelnut.

To purchase coffee or tea, select the oversized mason jar you want and take it up to the counter, where a member of the staff will weigh it, bag it and grind beans to your specifications, if you wish. You can also order coffee and retail goods online.

Staff is friendly, speaking of. In particular, the folks working the drive thru, which has become increasingly busy, are very nice, chatty and kind. I didn’t encounter any mistakes on any of my coffee runs.

One night after work, Matthew and I, as you should have already guessed, checked out their cocktail menu. There are seven original drinks, of which we tried two, plus a list of around a dozen old-school and modern classics, like the Sazerac, the Old Fashioned and the Paper Plane.

I had to get the Mill’s version of an espresso martini. I’ve tried several around town, and it makes sense that a coffee shop would know how to make a good version, which this one is, with a hint of Irish Cream, a ristretto shot, which is (insert) and their house-made cold brew liquor. Despite the Irish Cream, it’s not too sweet, and has a balanced, creamy, caffeinated finish. Recommend.

Matthew tried the Telegraph District, a springy take on a gin and tonic made with hibiscus syrup, violet colored Empress gin and elderflower tonic water. It had a refreshing, distinctly floral finish and an appealing bright magenta color.

The snacks at the bar include complimentary, well-seasoned bowls of popcorn — one of my favorite things at any bar is popcorn, even though I know it’s there to make people thirsty for more drinks. It’s still a nice touch.

Pretzels with cheese dip and spinach artichoke dip with pita chips are available, too, for purchase. We tried the spinach artichoke dip, which was fine, though nothing remarkable, and our pita chips looked like they’d settled at the bottom of a bag, mostly broken with a lot of crumbs.

Here’s my one big complaint: The bar is super slow, and not staffed to where it should be. Our bartender warned us ahead of time that he was new, and the drinks were going to take time, and we weren’t in a rush. But it did take a while, and if someone stopped in for a drink before a show or a dinner reservation, that time commitment might be too long.

For now, I’d advise checking out the bar, but sticking to beer and wine while the team has time to catch up on its cocktail-making skills.

The Mill Leavenworth hits all the sweet spots I was hoping it would. Many times, memories of a place can be overwhelming when a new version of it arrives. But there’s enough old charm, warmth, hospitality and yes, people watching, to make the Omaha Mill a favorite once again.

See you on the patio this summer, granita in hand.

When will we hit 1 million? The Omaha metro population is now just over 975,000, according to David Drozd of Community Health Development Partners.

Think Twice Before Waiting for Lower Home Prices

By Joe Finlay

If you’re thinking about selling your house, you should know the number of homes for sale right now is low. That’s because there are fewer sellers listing their houses this season than normal.

Looking back at every April since 2017, the only year when fewer sellers listed their homes was April 2020, when the pandemic stalled the housing market. This year, the number of sold units is down 35 percent compared to last year. Sold units are down almost 24 percent year-to-date. That’s because we have low inventory with just 0.7 months’ supply of existing homes on the market.

While there are a number of factors contributing to this trend, one thing keeping inventory low right now is that some homeowners are reluctant to move when the mortgage rate they have on their current house is lower than the one they could get for their next house. It’s called “rate lock.”

As a recent survey from Realtor.com explains, 56 percent of people who are planning to sell in the next 12 months say they’re waiting for rates to come down.

While this wait-and-see approach is right for some sellers, it also creates an opening for more eager sellers to jump in now.

If your current house truly doesn’t fit your needs anymore, and you’re ready to move, don’t miss this chance to stand out. When fewer sellers are putting their homes up for sale, buyers have fewer options. You can get the most eyes possible on your house at this time. Your house could get multiple offers as buyers compete over the limited supply of homes for sale – especially if you price it right.

Bottom Line

If you’re ready to sell now, beat the competition before it comes onto the market. If you do, your house should stand out and could get multiple offers. Let’s connect to get your home market ready.

LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

There are many attitudinal and behavioral qualities that characterize exceptionally high functioning executive teams, according to MIndSet, LLC, a Bellevue-based leadership consultancy. One of the qualities is “an inclusive sense of accountability for the entire enterprise – with individual egos tied to the whole, and a noticeable absence of silos within the operational structure.”

Some workers prefer the late shift. Here are the percentages of people, according to Fortune, who claim to be most productive between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. – Gen Z (26%); Gen Y (18%); Gen X (13%); Boomers (6 %).

Business travel – Overall passenger satisfaction with the major airlines dropped significantly for a second consecutive year, according to J.D. Power. That said, jet-setters in first and business class rated the airlines substantially higher than everyone else.

Of the more than six million general workforce tests that Quest Diagnostics conducted for marijuana in 2022, 4.3 percent came back positive, up from 3.9 percent the prior year. It’s the largest marijuana positivity rate since 1997. Positivity rates last year for certain classes of opioids and barbiturates declined.

SALES

Sales metrics are important for setting your targets and are vital pieces of information for both sales reps and sales managers, according to best-selling author Anthony Iannarino. Some metrics you should look at consistently are pipeline velocity, conversion rates, customer acquisition cost, and customer lifetime value.

According to Ovation Sales Group, it takes an average of eight calls to reach a prospect.

If you want to improve your sales success, try focusing on “sales velocity,” which means you shorten sales cycles while increasing average deal size.

During the discovery stage, you want to find out your prospect’s timeline. Here are a couple good questions – “How urgent is this issue?” “What’s prompting you to act on this opportunity now?” “What’s your timeline for making a decision?” “How soon after implementing (your offering) would you expect to see results?”

WISDOM

“If you are not nervous about one or two decisions every day, you probably aren’t trying hard enough.” – Tim O’Shaughnessy

The traditional barometer of Mr. Market’s mood is the S&P 500. This choice makes a great deal of sense. It contains 500 companies. It’s arbitrary because it does not favor one industry or investment approach over another. It’s easily accessible to the investing public. And, finally, it contains stocks that are liquid.

The stock market is not monolithic. There are multiple participants and factors that impact its pricing mechanism.

While the S&P 500 is the index of choice, the CNBC talking heads often refer to a broader market which includes the NASDAQ and the Dow. All three indexes tend to move in lockstep in the same direction. However, the magnitude of the move – in both directions – can vary greatly.

There are times when one factor dominates Mr. Market’s attention. Recently, that 900-pound gorilla has been the banking sector. Or as CNBC refers to it, the “banking crisis.” In the past few weeks, we have seen regional banks bounce around more than tin cans following the wedding party’s car. The reverse of that is that the big Wall Street money center banks have moved significantly to the upside.

The reason I’m yammering on about this is because it has had a major impact on the market’s direction and on the relative magnitude of the movement of the three indexes. The Dow has experienced relative calm because it contains only two of the money-center banks.

The movement of the S&P has been greater to the upside than that of the Dow because it contains a plethora of regional banks as well as several big money-center banks. Because of their large market cap weighting, the money-center banks have greater influence over the index than do the regional banks. The NASDAQ 100 has had the largest upside movement because it excludes financial institutions.

While it is important to avoid the needles and buy the haystack, it is also important to pay attention to which haystack to buy. The conventional wisdom is that index-fund investing is passive, but there’s no reason why individual investors can’t adopt an active approach by buying and selling multiple index funds.

Looking forward towards the weeks ahead, Mr. Market appears to be getting over his fixation on the bank crisis. At the Berkshire annual meeting, Buffett declared an end to the banking crisis that never was.

Mr. Market’s next move is to find a new form of Armageddon to fixate on. The battle over raising the debt ceiling appears to be waiting in the wings as a contender for the next crisis de jure.
