This is a great little venue with good coffee, food, service, and atmosphere. I came here with two sets of friends and had the veggie crepe both times. YUM! They have a good variety of cafe style food and lots of hot and cold drinks to choose from. They were closed for awhile due to the flooding in Ellicott City last year. Glad they re-opened. Great place.

This is a casual self-service restaurant / cafe with outdoor and indoor seating. Many kinds of French crepes and specialty coffees are available. Best of all there is free parking right in front in crowded Ellicott City.
Excellent food and quick service.

I went here with my husband for a late breakfast. The restaurant was very busy with many coming in and out. There is not much seating available, but we did manage to snag a table. The menu had many interesting sounding options. I had the bagel and lox with a hot chocolate while my husband had avocado toast with an orange juice. The food and drinks were delicious. Service was okay. The food was slow coming out. They didn't bring us silverware either. There was a lot of interesting items to look at that are also available for purchase.

The perfect little coffee shop near the river in Old Ellicott City, just over the bridge. It has a great selection of both hot and cold foods, gluten free options, vegetarian and vegan options, and great selections for us carnivores that love breakfast sandwiches at lunch time. The staff is great, parking is convenient, and there is plenty of space inside and out.

Very good food and coffee. I love their specialty coffees including lavender coffee and butterbeer coffee. Their homemade pop tarts and crepes are very good. We took home a quiche and made it the next day and was very good. Muffins are yummy. Scones are too dry unfortunately. Fresh squeezed orange juice is great. Small seating area indoors and nice outdoor seating. Parking in front. You can also easily access the trolley trail (lovely shaded walking path)

My wife and I decided that we needed to try this place. Just go down Main Street in Old Ellicott City, go under the bridge, and just up on the left is the Old Mill Cafe. Very quaint with plenty of outdoor seating. COVID standards are in full effect, and everyone is making sure to clean, sterilize and disinfect the establishment, especially inside. Employees wear masks and make sure that everything is no to little contact as possible. Plenty of awesome choices, breakfast and lunch served all day. Omelettes, crêpes, breakfast sandwiches, salads, pancakes, pastries, smoothies that are incredibly delicious and fresh. I ordered a do-it-yourself omelette with swiss and mushrooms with freshly-made whole wheat toast. It was fantastic. My wife ordered the breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. She was thrilled she did. I ordered a strawberry-banana smoothie and again, just totally yummy. My wife ordered iced tea, that was fresh brewed. Overall, a wonderful experience, plenty of outdoor seating on their patio and in front. Also, plenty of free parking. For something fresh and delicious, and the chance to break the monotony of staying at home, try the Old Mill Cafe on Frederick Road in Old Ellicott City. Definitely worth the trip.

I walked into the Old Mill Cafe today not expecting anything and to my delight there was a live band playing good music and the place was filled to the brim with adults and children dancing, chatting, and just people having fun. Maybe this is a regular thing but it was really cool to see such a lively place happening at 10am on a Sunday morning. I usually get the avocado toast which is amazing but today I tried the roast chicken panini. They have crepes and omelets among other breakfast items which I have not tried but given how good the other items are I can imaging they are quality. Highly recommend this place for the food, coffee, and ambiance, a real fun place in EC/Oella.

I love the personal warmness of the restaurant. Now that I've been in a few times they know what I want and also recommend new items and they are always on point. I love the little notes they put on my sandwich paper. ("Have a Nice Day!)
Love personal customer service.

I like it. They have books to read, poetry, they have flyers on local events. The coffee is good, they serve some good foods, the wait staff are very friendly, there are two bathrooms, they have live music on Sunday mornings. Pretty good deal.

We were so happy to see Old Mill open up again after the flood and the new ownership is by far the best the Old Mill has ever had. The staff is very friendly,the cafe is always clean and inviting and the outdoor patio is adorable. The menu selection is perfect for everyone in my family and they make the best chai lattes around!
