How the Funnel Mill Rare Coffee & Tea in Santa Monica makes iced coffee!! I chose the unsweetened Iced Chocolate Truffle Coffee. I am now in trufflation (not a word, I know! (: ) high heaven!! If you are dining in, your beverages are brought to you by the kindest, most helpful staff on a silver platter complete with silver coasters, sugar options in cute, labeled ceramic dishes with the cream on the side. I was informed that instead of using traditional ice cubes, at the Funnel Mill, they use frozen cubes of whatever your drink is to avoid any watering down of your beverage. This is a HUGE plus for me!

Jazz notes fill the zen-like industrial space, local artist’s work adorn the walls & cozy furniture make for an inviting world. Customers are in a peaceful, relaxed, happy working state. There is even an old piano tucked away if anyone has the inclination to plunk out a few notes. The only downside to the Funnel Mill is that I wish I lived closer!!

P.S. The Funnel Mill also gets major bonus points for their continued help with animal rescues in the community. YES!!
