our testimonials

Those who know us best

“Extremely good coffee, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service; I love stopping by here for my morning cup of coffee when working in the area. The dark roast is always fresh and piping hot, absolutely perfect for my taste, and is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality and quantity being served. This place feels so genuine and chill, I wish I could hang out in its cozy vibe all morning. ”

Leah Parks

“The Owl is one of the many shining gems in Milan and the hub of small town night life. They have a full, vibrant menu of coffee shop drinks and alcohol. Their huge range of hours mean that they're open when you need them to be, which is not the standard for small town coffee shops. I love this place. Long live The Owl.”

Erin Ewald

“This is the perfect spot to sit and have a cup of coffee in the morning or to relax after work and have one of their many amazing cocktails. My favorite thing about The Owl, Morning 'til Night, is that I can bring my fur baby with me! The staff even spoils her and gives her a special treat. I also like to go on Tuesday nights for Opinionation, or on Wednesday nights for trivia, it is so much fun!”

Amber Hesselberg

“Dropped in to try the coffee and it was a pleasant surprise! Love the concept of morning coffee and then a bar at night. Would recommend the Lavender Honey Latte and/or the Blueberry Pie White Mocha!”

Melissa Lampa

“We absolutely LOVE The Owl. We've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. The staff are all so friendly and make your day better! It's great these days to see people smiling and work and being kind to their customers.”
