Savage Mill

I stumbled across this little shopping mall while looking for a vintage store for Halloween inspiration. I got a little lost (in a good way) wandering through the halls, from building to building and peaking in every store to see what gems may be hidden. I do have to say i have never understood why people like to go "antiquing" until i stepped into an antique shop in this mall. It was filled of all of these things I never knew i wanted or even existed.. looking for a traditional authentic kimono? You can find one here. Need a 1940s telephone for decor? You can find one here! There are so many awesome things! I walked past a bridal consignment shop that was wall to wall with bridal gowns, and bridesmaid dresses. I even stopped for a bit to admire a young lady trying on the dress for her special day, she looked beautiful! I even noticed they had a game area where you can take your children to play board games and other things!

aside from the "shopping" type shops there are also professional services (makeup, photography, insurance, etc.. ) and food! I didn't get a chance this time to try Rams Head but I stopped in Bonaparte Breads for a snack and a coffee and was not disappointed! I'll review them on their own but the pastry I had was delicious!

So I was reviewing a spot Savage Mill right. One of the employees at that review left and came back with these croissant breakfast sandwiches from this bakery!! I had to have one!! You know me...LET'S GO!!

Customer Service: The cashier was ON POINT!!! I asked her to get plates to eat there, but to also get to go boxes on the side. The SERVER brought my food out in to go bags...no problem, I gently asked for plates. She aggressively said I didn't ask for plates, and reluctantly gave them to me. Even when I said "thank you"....no response!! SMH...I did nothing to deserve that!!

This is a great place to meander and have lunch - the mall is small and the shops are uniquely Savage Mill - they even have a fencing gym and it is pretty cool - the antique shops are great and like I said it is a great place to wonder aimlessly on a weekend afternoon - they have a bakery and it is awesome! The pub is great and the sandwiches are not good but they really take pride in how they deliver food to the table! Oh yea!!! It yummy!

What a cool gem right in Howard County! Savage Mill is a shopping center but all of the businesses are local businesses. The building is old but you're bound to find something interesting there, whether it's a spot a grab a bite or a place to do some shopping. Honestly, it's a good place to walk around on a nice day.

During my last visit over the summer, I went for their Ice Cream Sundays event. The event featured one of my favorite ice cream brands...Tillamook! It was the perfect treat and I enjoyed eating my ice cream outside on the Savage Mill grounds.

One downside to Savage Mill is that parking can be tricky at times but do not despair! They have like three parking lots and the easiest one is the one all the way in the back of Savage Mill. I don't remember the name of the street but you will have to go past Savage Mill and make a left on the next street. You will have to pass the little parking lot that everyone usually flocks to and go further down the street. You will see the big parking lot to your left.

Savage Mill is also home to Terrapin Adventures. So if you're seeking a little thrill by doing some ziplining or rock climbing, that is available as well.

Naked Wax by Tara!!!!

This place have many different types of businesses here from an antique, and coffee shop, bakery, WAXING at Naked Wax to an small art gallery.. there's a local trail to walk off all the good eats within a few hundred feet.

Let's get into Naked Wax by Tara!! Scheduling is a breeze it's all done online and she even offer late evenings and Sunday appts.. Pricing is fair cause yesterdays price is not todays price, inflation is a beast.

Tara the owner whom I met during Covid yes I still needed to be stripped with no place to go. I admired how she persevered through Covid times and was able to sustain and maintain her business. Tara is super sweet, patient and full of recommendations to help you if you have troubled skin. She's not an esthetician but what I've done has worked well and it came from her input. She's gentle as gentle as the wax allows her to be. Waxing is not for the faint at heart lol. Her place is neat clean and decorated very nicely. A good tranquil peaceful vibe.

If you're in the area stop by and checkout the local shops. Book with Tara for your next waxing experience

Be ware if you love bread eat before you come the bakery will trap you!!!

Love this place. Different interesting shops. Restaurants and a coffee shop. Bridal dress shop too. There is also an obstacle course where you zip line through the trees. I have been here a number of times and always enjoy it. You will too.

I went to Girls Night Out last week at Savage Mill in Savage, MD. These events happen through out the year. They are free to attend. When you arrive at the welcome table, they give you a tote bag with a 5 dollar coupon that can be used at any participating stores in the buliding, and free glass of wine of your choice. Some of the stores give out free samples. I have been to a couple of them. They are nice and fun to attend. It's something to do with your girlfriends, solo, or with family. They also have resturants there as well.

I love this place! It's such a hidden jewel, tucked away at Historic Savage Mill. Last night was 'Ladies Night'! You receive a bag and souvenir wine glass. The wine was flowing all night. Just a good vibe to hang out, drink and walk around. Grab some goodies, cookies, pastries, coffee, etc. Stay updated on their website and social media for the next Girls Night Out and other legendary events. Since it's a big hit, the parking can get crowded, but just get there early to get a spot. Enjoy!

Love visiting the Mill! Fun to wander the shops and then stop by the Dive Bar for great food n drink. New Speak Easy Bar opening downstairs this week!

Don't go to Roggenart bakery if your a person of color. Trust. Several people had said they have been treated badly. This guy I follow on TikTok that reviews eateries and said he had a bad experience with one person.

Savage Mill is a neat place to visit and shop. We have been here a number of times over the years. I love to browse in the antique shop at Savage Mill. I also enjoy browsing in the shops. Be prepared to spend several hours here just to quickly get through the place. There is a lot to see and do here. They also have restaurants and food but we have never gotten food here. One time we did try to get dinner at the restaurant but it was too busy so we went elsewhere. Lots of parking. Clean bathrooms. Lots of antiques and specialty shop items to look at and browse. Great place to visit!
