What a lovely place. We were headed to Elliott City to pick up a new car & were early. So we thought how about a cup of coffee. Certainly could have stopped at the local Starbucks. Well, why not go to historical EC instead & find a good local joint.
This place is right on the river, an easy walk to the shops.
We grabbed a couple of coffees & a gluten free pumpkin cookie. Oh boy, it was good. A lot of other food options.
We will remember this place for lunch next time we hit EC with more time.

Great food and coffees/lattes. I do prefer the lattes as there are so many kinds of flavors! Love their sandwiches as well so far! However I tried the lox bagel and admittedly it has been such a long time ago I've had my first lox bagel that I wasn't sure what to compare it to, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the lox. Finished it anyway! Considered giving a four star BUT...
Inside of the place also has a small little artist shop corner. It is adorable! Love admiring them while I wait.
Oh! Also they take cashapp! I used the QR code method and so the transaction was completely

I had a really great experience at the Old Mill Cafe. Parking was a bit tight, but to me this meant it was going to be good. It was early on a Saturday and I was able to park in their parking lot, but there is a public lot just around the corner that would have worked as well.
There is an indoor seating area as well as outdoor seating. The patio outside was great (side and front patios) and they were cozy enough for Louie (my dog) to enjoy the sun and also big enough not to be a bother.
I got the monkey ? crepe, and it was amazing. It had a little crunch to it, which I am a fan of, and it

I would have loved to be able to rate the actual quality of their coffee, but my girlfriend and I walked in 20 minutes before their close today and they said that they could only serve us pastries or cold brew. I've never been to a small business that shuts down and starts cleaning up so early before their actual closing time.
I'm sure there was potential to be a great experience! Just don't make the same mistake we did and get excited over some yum coffee because when you show up they might already have shop closed

LOVED! My first time visiting. Went with my preteen daughter for her first coffee date! They were very patient and polite. Food was delicious . Some of the regular patrons were helpful with menu selections. We sat inside, the wifi was great, bathroom was clean. They came by to take our trash a few times. This is my special spot now for me and my daughter. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

It’s small cafe in Ellicott city. It was super busy and we had to stand in line for 20 min to place our order. The staff were friendly and polite. I got cappuccino which was good. I also got the mixed berries crepe. The crepe was super soft and had a great flavor. My friends pastry was not that great. But overall a good place. There is limited parking which gets full. But there is parking in Lot A next street.

I have patronized this business on at least 5 different occasions in the past year.
I normally purchase a breakfast sandwich and a latte or cappuccino and both have always been delicious.
On each visit I have left a dollar in the tip jar, which was dumb because no matter who serves me or rings me up, I never feel welcomed. Never a smile or kind word which is why I will NEVER walk through the doors of the Old Mill Cafe again. On today's visit the women on the register barley looked at me and had a bit of an attitude. She was cold and abrupt.
I cannot say that I receive attitude each

Lovely, quaint coffee shop and eatery in Old Town Ellicott City. They have an array of pasties, donuts, biscuits to go along with items off the griddle. Our family shared the short stack of pancakes, Nutella and strawberry crepe, and egg sandwich. Property is very nice a spacious. They have an adjacent courtyard with outside seating as well as a few tables in front. Kid, dog, and bicyclist friendly!

My husband and I live in the area, and decided to stop in this morning halfway through a hike. I ordered the falling for fall crepe and he ordered the breakfast sammy, and I thought it was the most delicious crepe I've ever had. There were apples and cinnamon in it, and I ate the entire thing. We were boring and got plain iced coffees, but they have a pretty wide variety of coffee types. The service was quick, and I thought the prices were reasonable. We will be back, and are going to try something out of their baked goods case. Looks like they have homemade pop tarts!

I biked the Trolley Number Nine trail. This was short and tough for beginners. I parked near the Oella end and rode around to westchester to begin the trail. That was my first mistake lol. That hill was HUGE before we even started the trail. We biked some of the hill but ultimately ended up walking it (thankfully because cars came around the sharp corner kind of fast). Once we got to the start of the trail, I was quickly beat! I figured the huge hill at westchester took me out plus it was so warm outside. I took several breaks on this short trail. I couldn’t figure out why I was so tired so quickly

This is a nice, cozy spot to get breakfast or a quick bite. The inside is a bit larger than I thought, and it was very inviting. The employees are very nice. They offer a modest variety of hot items (breakfast sandwiches, crepes) and have several baked goods (muffins, scones, cinnamon rolls), and have coffees and teas. I've only tasted a couple items, so i don't want to judge too much on that yet, but I thought it was a pretty good.
There is an outside seating area that is nicely kept. Parking can be a little tough as their lot is pretty small. However, there is parking around the corner

My first time!
Place: Very clean
Service: Pleasant, very good local environment.
Food: I got an "Always Sunny ☀️" all the ingredients matched perfectly. Loved that combination. It included pesto, eggs, spinach, cheese. The drink was a natural berry smoothie 🥤 no sugar added.
Other good things to know: They have a corner to buy good pictures related to or town. On the other corner a bookshelf with books to use there or exchange.
Thank you for doing a great job!

What a lovely gem
It was our first visit and if we lived closer, it wouldn't be our last
When you enter, you are immediately welcomed by the open displays of local authors and artisans not to mention the staff smiling behind masks and verbally welcoming you
We ordered coffee, cappuccino, breakfast Sammies and the Apple fritters screamed to take them home
We listened and not disappointed in anything!
Love supporting a local business? Take a small detour away from Starbucks and go!

I don't know why it has taken me so long to try the Old Mill Cafe, given that I live less than 5 miles away. This morning, as we drove through Old Ellicott City (OEC) we decided to stop in. We older two breakfast sandwiches, a cinnamon twist and iced coffee.
The cafe is really quaint and reminds me of spots we normally stop at while traveling. Pre-COVID-19, the Cafe looks like it had seating throughout including a neat little kids area and a small OEC gift shop. Post-COVID-19, they have taken advantage of outdoor seating in their courtyard and out front.
The food was excellent. The Breakfast

Local and Delicious!
The Old Mill Cafe can be found in Old Ellicott City near the trolley station. Stop by and enjoy breakfast or a yummy pastry; it'll leave you wanting more.
Customer service is great, they have their private parking and a variety of options.
ORDER:
Turkey & Cheddar Sandwich - I opted to the Turkey & Cheddar that was accompanied with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mustard; on toasted white bread. It was yummy and fulfilling. Freshly made and made to go which I savored in the comfort of my home.
Maple Bar - This perfectly made pastry was the best. It wasn't

A perfectly homey and inviting coffee shop in old Elicott city. We walked in late afternoon on a Sunday to do some work, and we figured this place fit all our criteria.
I got a mushroom and leek quiche and a couple of coffees. Now I mistakenly added a bit of salt to my coffee instead of sugar (it was right next to the cinnamon powder) so I kinda wish they would label the condiment shakers, but other than that both items were great. The staff were friendly and brought our food to our tables. There is also a library of books to sit and read, though I imagine the selections could be a bit better/modern
