Old Mill Cafe - Ellicott City

This place is incredible! I would consider camping out in the parking lot every morning if it weren't for my family at home who would miss their pastries and coffee. You absolutely have to check it out!

Always a winner! I love grabbing an iced black eye before I head out on the trail.

I had a great time visiting this morning! The spinach feta quiche, cheddar bacon biscuit, and apple fritter were all delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. I had to hold myself back from buying one of everything in the bakery, haha! The staff were friendly, and the coffee was excellent too!

I've visited this restaurant twice now and ordered both hot and iced coffee on each occasion. I'm consistently impressed by the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the cleanliness of the establishment. During my latest visit, I needed to use the restroom and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. They not only had feminine products available in case of emergencies but also provided a foot stool for those bringing in children who might need assistance due to the toilet height. While there wasn’t a changing table, the floors were clean enough that I would have felt comfortable using a changing pad if necessary; fortunately, my child is past that stage. Additionally, I appreciated that they are dog-friendly, offering a water cooler for both humans and pets.

I visited this restaurant on a particularly busy morning, and I must say that the staff did an outstanding job managing everything—from preparing food and making coffee to handling the counter and keeping the place clean. It was truly an excellent experience. I almost forgot to mention that the coffee and muffin I ordered were absolutely delicious!
