Little Market Café

Very disappointed… it’s always the case with any food spot in Old Ellicott City. Just because a place has been there for a while and considered “local” doesn’t mean it’s good. I spent $23 on a lobster roll… what I ended up getting was a hotdog bun with imitation crab on it. Their beignets were doughy and frozen cold with the most suspicious filling I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is okay but the wait + time makes me down right confused why this place is rated so high. Bland coffee… I’m just genuinely curious why people like this place. I’m sure the owners are kind but there’s always room for improvement. From what I can see from the counter behind the register; it did not look clean at all.

Quaint outdoor seating. Even in the rain! Too much sugar in the matcha tho. They should use pure matcha powder instead of the premixed one where you have no option to not have extra sugar. Great staff.

This place has a great atmosphere where freedom and relaxation come first. It’s perfect for hanging out with a group, and if you're lucky, you might catch some live music—like we did during our visit! The vibe is cozy, and the prices are pretty reasonable. The only downside was a mix-up with my pizza order, and while the one I received was okay, it could have been cooked a little more. However, the coffee was great, and the service was decent, though I expected my full order to arrive a bit faster. Overall, it’s a nice spot, especially if you enjoy a laid-back setting with live music!
