    Chicken Caesar wrap
    Urbashi Z.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch, the place was packed with a lot of locals so the wait time was about 25 minutes or so. Ordered a chicken Caesar wrap that was average, nothing special. I've had the shrimp salad wrap before that was slightly better. Overall, I do think there are better sandwich shops/cafes in the area

    This place is the real deal. My husband saw this place on instagram and needed to try it. I don't like shrimp salad and cafe di Roma changed my mind. I will be ordering this sandwich for the rest of my life. I hate mayo and anything I can taste mayo in. This was more like an old bay sauce. You also great what felt like a pound of shrimp on the sandwich. It was life altering. My children all took down the chocolate top cookies like it's their job. I will 100% be going back and recommend anyone else trying it too.

    A cute, cozy cafe and it was empty at first but at some point it got crowded quick. Service was very polite and chai was really good. I always love to try Reuben's at places and this one did not disappoint. Definitely will go back!

    Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich and Americano

    I had some time after my hair appointment to get some breakfast. I ordered an americano and breakfast sandwich. I have gotten the shrimp salad in the past and that was delicious. Today is Saturday so they are busier than usual. My breakfast sandwich - eggs and cheese on a croissant was delicious. Eating outside made me feel like I was in Italy. The prices are so good for the quality and quantity of the food. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

    The atmosphere was amazing. Service was quick, other customers were friendly and had been coming for years. The food was delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more food. I got the Pesto Chicken Wrap with a pickle, and a Triple Espresso. So yummy.

    Maximum five deviled eggs per customer

    I was visiting family and staying in Catonsville, and Cafe di Roma saved my bacon! It is open great hours, and several days I got both lunch and dinner there (and a latte!). Delicious shrimp salad, black bottom cupcakes, deviled eggs (limit 5 per customer), and they make a mean BLT with turkey bacon, hooray! For like $8. Maybe $7. The service was mostly super friendly. They do make things to order so be prepared to wait- or call in your order (give them like 20 minutes). If I were in town longer, I'd try the smoothies...they sound great!

    Every time I go here I really enjoy their food. The best blueberry pancakes I ever had. Friendly service. Lattes are really good as well

    Solid sandwiches their shrimp salad sub is the best. Longer wait times due to social media hype would recommend ordering ahead of time.

They sell South Mountain Creamery ice cream, so ice cream is not made in house, but it is hand scooped and hand spun milkshakes. I decided to get a cookie butter milkshake, which was pretty good!

The service was extremely friendly, we went in about 30 mins before close and everyone was extremely talkative and happy to give their recommendations. Great spot to stop by for a delicious scoop of ice cream with a side of local charm.

The actual interior of the place where you order ice cream is a bit cramped and bumpy (aka not stroller or wheelchair friendly), but they do have like a back patio area that you can sit and enjoy the ice cream in picnic table style seating. The ice cream was good and the service was very friendly through the experience. They also offer ice cream flights, which is great if multiple flavors are calling out to you (which is the often the case for me at ice cream places).

I tried the horchata and dulce de leche. After you get your frozen yogurt, you slide down to pick from the huge variety of toppings. My kids liked piling gummy worms on their sundaes. They even have a bunch of sauces ranging from fruity to more savory like peanut butter. Whipped cream optional, but I say go for it; it won't add much to the overall weight. The lady behind the counter seemed super busy; she was on the phone when we came in, but took the time to greet us. She had some small knickknacks for the kiddos as we paid - nice touch. The food is as fine as you make it. I'm partial to ice cream over frozen yogurt, but mix and match some toppings and you can make a very delightful dessert experience indeed! The seating is limited to wall benches and plastic chairs. Our family of five were able to squeeze around one of the small tables since Child #3 is still in a baby carrier, but in a few years we'll have to spread to two tables. It's not the most comfortable, but it's not horrible either. Lots of folks came in and took their food to go. Not bad. Come on and load up your frozen yogurt sundae!

    Introduction to history & deciding to go there:…read more Just read an article yesterday that Crazy Mason will be closing at the end of August. I was in old town Ellicott City on Saturday, April 18 for their Springfest. The only times I end up venturing to downtown is when there's some event going on. We were meeting up with my friend & his family. My friend's brother mentioned Crazy Mason was excellent and that they were very close to the concert stage area we were. I said to my girlfriend I'd be game to try them out to split a shake. Having one by myself is a lot of sugar, so splitting is a more sensible option, not to mention less total cost. This was originally the Ellicott Theater in the 1940's & 50's. Various performing artists, discotheque, etc. had its spot. It's cool this Crazy Mason milkshake place took over this space. Unusual for anything in the ice cream category to have such a large space. I also learned that they started in Myrtle Beach. I could see why as it's a touristy beach area, which various ice cream shops and some more unique options are more common than say in Howard County, MD. Although old town Ellicott City doesn't have the level of tourism that Myrtle Beach would, they have some and of course many locals who go here. In 2024, I had a friend in town, and we drove him up to old town Ellicott City to look around. I just read they started in June 2020 during Covid. The Ellicott City location opened in 2022. It's unfortunate they only lasted 4 years as they were outstanding. My experience: The staff was friendly. We asked for recommendations. The younger guy who was taking orders & making shakes, enthusiastically made a couple of suggestions to us. We settled on the Cookie Mashup, which was a shake with chocolate chip cookie, chocolate syrup, cookie dough bites, cookies n' cream, crushed chips ahoy, crushed Oreo, vanilla buttercream, whipped icing, and [deep breath] a whole Oreo on top. We opted to get it in their souvenir Crazy Mason jar, which is in a mason jar. We sat in the many seats on a lower level with a stage in the background. We waited maybe 10 minutes as they were pretty busy on that Saturday of Springfest. Wow, this shake was outstanding! One of the best shakes I've ever had. It was some flavorful with a lot of great ingredients. We both loved it. I will say it was quite messy, but it was worth it! The price was pretty expensive, but it was an experience. And I would get again, but it's quite unlikely I'll be in old town Ellicott City between today 8/11 & the end of August when they close. We asked the older gentleman who was the cashier & giving the finished shakes if we could wrap the mess we left behind on the mason jar. He said let me give you a new clean jar, which I thought was very nice, and let us keep the used jar too wrapping both of them carefully. In summary, I wish they were staying open for much longer than the next 3 weeks as they really were great and very nice staff/owner too!

Since we had just finished lunch, we didn't want one of the huge expensive milkshakes they are known for, although they did look delicious. Instead, my friend and went for one of our favorite treats: pineapple dole whip, swirled with non-dairy vanilla ice cream (for me) and of course, topped with rainbow sprinkles. The serving was large, and our order was ready quickly. Can't go wrong with dole whip, although the non-dairy ice cream was kind of flavorless. Still delicious though. The place is huge (it used to be an old theater) with plenty of tables. There is also a small game room up front with arcade games. Lots of cute murals on the wall to help capture the moment. There were also annoying gnats flying around, so I think next time I'll eat outside, but I will definitely be back.
