Little Market Café - Cafe in Ellicott City - 3731 Hamilton St, USA

Menu offered a variety of selections sandwiches, salads, pizza, etc. and a variety of drinks. Reuben tasted really good. The sauerkraut was good. Homemade lemonade was NOT sugary, but naturale’. Gayle Harrod Band entertained the evening crowd for 2 hours with gutsy blues. Crowd, which included children and adults, was fun, chill and pleasing.Plenty outdoor seating for dining. Free parking and face painting. Rather cozy venue. Very pleasing.

Good eats, chill scenery with a lot of bugs and full parking, and hit or miss attitudes with the employees. 1st time I came I ordered online. It wasn’t out when I arrived 30 minutes later. I ended up waiting 1 hour since I didn’t want to bother staff, and when I finally reached out to one of them, he said “you have to tell us we don’t know you’re here!!!”. Meanwhile every other place I’ve been to just sets the order out as soon as it’s done. 2nd time - I got the big poppi and asked for no bacon. Then received it with bacon inside. I also got the strawberry lemonade which just tasted like watered down honest kids juice boxes. Wasn’t sweet at all, just tasted like flavored water. TLDR: the big poppi was good, and this place needs to work on employees (just pay more attention to details) + prices are kinda high for the quality

The Little Market Café NEVER disappoints. We have eaten there numerous times over the last years, and our experience is always great. The food is fresh and well prepared. We love their flavorful sandwiches and yummy deserts. And the ambiance perfectly complements the food; our family enjoys having our food outside while listening to live music or getting warm near the fire pit. This is defined the best café in Old Ellicott City.

My cappuccino and soup was delicious but the cashier was inattentive, poor service. She added something to my order that I didn’t order and messed up another part of my order. In the future she should have repeated my order- shame on me for assuming she got it right.

Great selection on coffee drink menu. Beautiful patio with lots of outdoor door seating. Lots of close free parking in a safe parking lot. Family friendly and dog friendly. Tranquil water fountain and so many lovely plants. A worthy addition to your places to go and linger.

Free music in this lovely atmosphere. You sit next to a big stone fireplace. There is no table service, so you order at the counter and they call your name for pick up. No indoor and dining. Enjoyed the pizza and the sandwiches. Lots of pastry and exotic coffee choices. Great little place.

I'm Vegan and they have the most delicious Dairy free and meatless sandwiches with vegan cheese and condiments, which is rare. They also have pizzas, meat sandwiches, crafted sodas (Black Cherry was so good!), chips, and bakery desserts. I've really enjoyed their Open Mic Nights, currently held on Thursday evenings as of this post in Aug. 2022. Rob of Ilyaimy band does an excellent job hosting, giving equal time to performers, and creating a respectful space to share music. They update event status, which is weather permitted, on their Facebook page. I look forward to going to eat & play there every week.

If you go once and the food and service is great it could be an accident. If you come back twice and it is maintained then you know its intentional. This is exactly what Little Market Cafe is. Im so happy that this "accidental" test has turned into a tried and true. Coffee - Doesn't ever taste burnt and the flavors are great Food - Lets just say they have some of the best waffles, and the Waffle Sandwich is simply amazing. Fresh or warmed up it still is amazing. Atmosphere - Dope outside area and I showed up when they were doing Coffee and Cars. Which was great because of the unique and old school cars there. Only thing that could make it the bees knees is if they did Frappes/Blended drinks but this isn't a game ender. It is just some flavors I would love to taste blended. Outside of that, highly recommend that you make this a restaurant on your must vist and must repeat list.
