9 Mile Coffee Company - Schroon Lake

Stopped in once last year (or year before? during covid protocols so there was no food or hanging out allowed. Stopped back in a month ago after canoeing at Paradox lake for a cold brew and really enjoyed it; very good coffee and espresso and a nice clean space. Now it's my regular stop when I finish paddling in the area. In fact, it sometimes informs my choice of paddling sites. Decided to go for a few of hours on the Schroon River above Alder Meadow bridge today knowing that I could stop in at 9 Mile for replenishment on the way home. Very friendly, efficient people at the counter, a hit the spot grilled cheese on sourdough and a really good hot sauce to jazz it up. Figured out part of why the cold brew is so good when I checked the website they use Kru coffee which is pretty much my benchmark in this region. Instead of doing a bad job roasting their own (like a cafe in Lake George I won't name , these folks just use high quality goods. Thumbs up from me.

I probably wouldn't recommend their beans or a drink that highlights the espresso (my partner got a cortado and it tasted like your standard diner coffee). But anything I've gotten flavored has been good! For being the only place in town, it works!

LOVED the ice coffee! The vibe was wonderful and inviting. Will definitely be going back.

What a delight to find this place after 3 hours on the road with no coffee in sight! A warm welcome from a most delightful young lady who then made us coffees exactly to our specifications and very good they were. Do drop by, they deserve our custom.

Beautiful setting for a local coffee shop in Schroon, NY. The outside has a ton of beautiful wood arches and heavy door, to keep warm in the Winter (even though I was here in Summer). There are a handful (4) of outdoor tables and a railing that separates the foot traffic from the guests. Coffee at 9 Mile is scrumptious and very strong. They have regular steeped or percolated coffee, syrups, flavors and espressos. The inside of this coffee shoppe is bright, friendly and there is a lot of space to spread out. When I was here there were quite a few 20ish youngsters reading and studying. Both staff and location and an elongated space (to the back) are pitch perfect for a leisurely lounge, a date, some serious studying, a relaxing break or a fast hot cup of BLACK and CAFFEINATED Joe!! During the week '9 Mile ' had a large sandwich style billboard out front that advertised which coffees were being served, their hours and some quick foods too. It is an easy, effective and highly sought-after way of advertising, for those who are here for the first time. Many restaurants don 't do it (sign). Prices were great. You received a large amount of very strong, deliciously flaved gourmet coffee. Awesome, easy going, professional staff! Review: strong 5
