It is located south of Red Deer on Gasoline Alley, just past Glenn’s Family Restaurant. Keep your eyes open for a windmill structure and you can’t miss it.

According to the sign inside the front door, 90% of their food is made fresh on site daily. There are free coffee refills for stay in customers. On hand are fresh donuts, muffins and pastries. They also offer salads, sandwiches, subs, soups, stew and chili. There is enough friendly staff on hand to take care of a rush of customers. Like other donut/ coffee shops, this eatery is set up cafeteria style, so a waitress won’t be coming around to your table. They do have a drive through for those in a rush.

Stop by the Donut Mill next time you are looking for a coffee and a pastry. It is less hectic than the famous coffee chain down the road, and a good spot to read the paper while you enjoy your java. Pick up a coffee card to buy 9 coffees and get the tenth one free. And don’t forget the free refills!

You can easily spot it by looking for the giant teapot shaped sign.
Inside the entrance, you will find loose tea in over 150 varieties. You can pick tea up by the tin, bag or spoonful. There are tea pots and other tea related items here too. From the ever popular Earl Gray to the African Roiboos tea, to green tea, you can find it here in small or large amounts. My favorite is the Cherry Rose Roiboos.

The restaurant itself is always clean, well lit and cozy. The service is reliable, efficient and friendly at Glenn’s Family restaurant. A host or hostess will seat you soon after arriving at a comfy booth or table.
Breakfast is available all day. There are daily specials and a soup of the day, along with the regular items. I can honestly say I have never been disappointed with the food at Glenn’s. If you are traveling through Red Deer, or shopping at Costco and other Gasoline Alley stores, remember that fast food isn’t your only meal option. Stop for a real meal at Glenn’s Family Restaurant.
