    So cute
    Laiha C.

    This was such an interesting little brunch spot. We stayed nearby at an air B&B and Old Mill caught our eye driving in. It is located in the tiny little town, which has a great store next to it for shopping. The woman who served us was so friendly and talkative. Our lattes were pretty good as well. The setup is unique- you grab your own condiments and you are served on paper plates. The atmosphere is so weird. It's like old timey religious stuff? So the historical pictures were fun to look at and read the captions on. The food was solid. Flavorful and filling. My breakfast burrito was great, IMO.

    The drinks were good! I loved the matcha a lot and asked the cashier for their favorite matcha syrup combo which came out as blueberry cheesecake matcha. I love the little surprises that you can get when you ask for them to make you a drink. The food was alright. I wasn't expecting paper plates to be served with our meals and prepackaged syrup. The waffle itself was not bad I enjoyed it but I was wondering why it tasted a little sour but thought it might be how it is made. Not really sure but I didn't get sick so I don't believe it was spoiled. The interior is pretty simple. Nothing too fancy so definitely a casual setting.

    Country Breakfast with potatoes, slab bacon, over-medium egg, legendary biscuit
    AB C.

    This place is such a hidden gem! I got the country breakfast and it was literally the perfect diner experience: my potatoes were crispy and perfectly seasoned, my over-medium egg cooked to perfection, slab bacon SO delicious, and THE BISCUIT. Do not sleep on the biscuit! They make these in house and they're flakey, buttery, and soft - I kept saying 'oh my god' out loud. I'm a former pastry chef and pretty picky when it comes to baked goods! The ambiance is so charming, lots of interesting history on the walls and tables! But it has the convenience of a modern spot with the digital menu. We placed our order with the cheerful gal up front and then got to pick our seats. We're only visiting the area but I would return just for this place. They have a little bakery section that I'd definitely try next time based on the quality of the biscuit!

    I love corned beef hash. In Seattle, Bryan't Corner Cafe makes excellent corned beef hash. That is my point of reference. So, when I heard that this place has pretty good corned beef hash, I definitely wanted to try while staying in Leavenworth. It was a major disappointment. And looking at everyone's reviews, I must be one of the few who is not impressed with this place. My honest opinion is that my corned beef hash was overpriced ($18), very small portioned, and the pieces of the meat were tiny. We also had a piece of waffle and another breakfast item that i can't remember and they were equally disappointing.

    BBQ plates with pork Mac n cheese, fried okra with brisket, bbq beans and fried cauliflower

    What a little surprise treat! During a busy Leavenworth trip we didn't want to try and find parking so we decided to go to Old Mill Cafe for diner. What a surprise to have some delicious Bbq! Huge servings, so many Texas bbq sides and the most flavorful meats. To top off the evening we got to visit with the owner and she was just a gem filled with all sorts of great stories, advice and kindness. The diner serves phone-ins, drive up and inside dining. The place was clean and warm from the cold. It's a do it yourself with table service but with it being a small mom and pop place they put their time into the food. We will definitely be back!

    Taco burger hogie
    Scott O.

    We had the taco burger hogie with fries. $14. To tell the truth eating this hogie didn't really make me think "tacos". But, it was creative and it tasted really good. The hogie bun was fresh and stood out as a really great bun. Much better than most other buns at just about any other place. And, the fries were top notch. You don't go into such a small restaurant expecting such a great meal. But, they serve it up. And they do so pleasantly and were happy to give us some extras. If you're in the area you should give them a try.

    Tuna melt and fries
    Tiffany A.

    Having gone to Plain many times over our lifetime, we'd never shared a meal here. We were in town working on our cabin and didn't feel like cooking so stopped in for lunch. The staff was very friendly and the menu had lots of different options. My husband said the tuna melt was one of the best he's ever had. My chicken sandwich was decent but the salad was really lacking and had some brown lettuce. The fries were good though, glad I stole some of those. We want to come back again soon and try the breakfast. They also have $2 bags of ice which I thought was a great deal haha.

I ordered the Healthy Hash and a chai with oat milk (so good), and they also had gluten-free bread and soy butter, which honestly made my morning. I'm also grabbing a Bloody Mary, and everything has been excellent. The vibe here is what really sets it apart: super chill, cozy, and welcoming, with genuinely friendly staff. I also loved that they have games and beautiful photography/art books out and available to use -- it's such a fun way to actually connect with your group instead of everyone defaulting to their phones while waiting for food. I noticed the sign saying they're celebrating 25 years, and I truly hope they're around for many more. Leavenworth is such a cute German-style town, but as someone who can be pretty picky (and with dietary restrictions), it can be hard to find a place I really love -- and this one delivered on every level. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

During peak times you may find yourself waiting in line for 20-30 minutes. The good news is the line moves quickly, and there's plenty to look at while you wait. The main line is for the incredibly tempting cookies and drinks, while a separate counter to the right is dedicated to food orders and is usually much shorter. Near the entrance, there are charming displays of gingerbread houses and detailed dioramas that serve as a fun distraction while you wait your turn. Once inside, the display cases are filled with an amazing variety of treats--cupcakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, Linzer and gingerbread cookies, and many other delicious options. Everything looks so good it's hard to choose! We ended up ordering three cookies per person and happily stretched them out over the next few days. Before heading back to Seattle, we made one last stop to grab a to-go box for the road and for home. Totally worth it. Yummo! Also, there is a small Gift Shop all things Gingerbread.

The owners also run Andreas Keller, the popular German restaurant just downstairs. The bakery has been around since 1988 and got a fresh remodel in 2011! The moment you step inside, you're transported to a storybook scene -- think fairytale cottage vibes with a faux tree, ornate wooden window frames, and cozy indoor picnic tables. The back room houses the main bakery counter, along with gingerbread houses, themed merchandise, and treats lining the walls. They offer cookies, cupcakes, croissants, ice cream, and more! - Coffee Chip Ice Cream -- one of my all-time favorite flavors, with bold espresso notes and rich chocolate chips. My family and I ended up playing a round of Catan at one of the tables. Such a cozy way to enjoy our dessert! The line moved quickly, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop for a sweet treat and a taste of gingerbread magic!

The wait here has always been long due to the size of the place, but today it was due to poor training and staffing. We walked in and these two girls are shouting at guests they are the only people working today and there is going to be a wait. Of course I sympathize. A few small tables are sat quickly but everyone else is told to wait. A party of 6 told them they were on a schedule and the waitresses told them it was fine. Being a small group we got sat, but there was a lobby FULL of people who stood there while we ate our whole breakfast. There were about 5 open tables but the waitresses didn't try to bus them and were running around like crazy and returning to the kitchen time and again empty handed. Eventually they shouted to the waiting area of people they were going to bus the whole restaurant (seriously) and seat everyone at once. Obviously no training here at all because the kitchen must have had no orders for 30-45mins and all of a sudden are going to get hit with a whole restaurant of orders at once so now the wait worsens - what a mess. The table of 6 that arrived at the same time as us was sat as we were finishing, but we never served. They left un-fed after an hour and a half. The food was fine but there was no excuse for the wait (forgot to mention this is a Monday at like 10:30 so not a breakfast or lunch rush happening, also not a weekend). This place has always been a dive and totally falling apart in regards to decor but it was forgivable because the food was good. I feel bad for writing this because those poor girls were working hard but they are completely untrained and the place was understaffed. There are SO MANY fantastic new restaurants in Leavenworth they are really going to have to step up their game to survive!!

Decorated like your grandma's kitchen - no real theme, save for just stuff on the walls - not usually a big deal for me, but for some reason it was super distracting.

Traditional breakfasts - heavy, buttery, greasy, meaty and decent portions. The food was good - but nothing really stood out. I had the chicken fried steak and the gravy was bland - no spice, or even a hint of pepper. For a waffle haus - the waffles were a bit soggy and didn't have that crisp which really holds syrup.
