great coffee was only
part of the plan
When I opened Old Mill House Coffee in 2020, I had a pretty simple idea: good coffee, good people and a place where everyone feels welcome.
Today, we’re a family-run coffee house serving scratch-made drinks, showcasing local makers and bringing people together through our markets and events. But the real heart of Old Mill is our baristas. They’re the ones who remember your order, ask about your day and make you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit.
That’s what I always hoped Old Mill would be. A place you come for the coffee, but keep coming back for the people.

A LITTLE HISTORY
different decades, same corner
Before we were serving coffee, Ruby Emery was baking for the Chelmsford community right here in this building. From the 1940s through the early 1970s, her bakery was a neighborhood favorite. We still have people stop in to share their memories of Ruby and her shop, and we love hearing their stories.
Maybe what’s even cooler is the historic charm of our building. You can tell right away our space wasn’t created to be a coffee shop. Originally built as the counting house for the grist mill that used to stand behind it, our homey spot alongside Beaver Brook is full of history and sunshine.
