More Than Java
More Than Java Cafe’ is proud to provide quality coffees, teas and much more to our Savage community and beyond. We are confident that once you visit and experience the warm atmosphere, you will become a regular part of our More Than Java Cafe’ family.
As a family, we have always loved being able to enjoy fresh vibrant and great tasting foods. However, what we discovered was how hard it was to actually find this combination along with a warm inviting atmosphere to enjoy it in.
So we created our own.
More Than Java Cafe’, founded by my husband and me, is a swank/eclectic and cozy Internet cafe’.
ROGGENART European Bakery Bistro and Café
Roggenart offers an innovative and unique hospitality experience that blends three distinct dining environments—an authentic European bakery, a bistro, and a café. This conceptual and presentational fusion brings together the charm of a traditional European bakery, featuring freshly baked pastries, quiches, and an assortment of dessert items, with the inviting atmosphere of a cozy café.
For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Roggenart’s bistro serves a wide variety of fresh artisan sandwiches, hot cast-iron pressed sandwiches, oven-baked melts, and delicious soups and salads. To complete this culinary experience, Roggenart also features a full espresso bar, offering dozens of specialty espresso and latte options made with the finest premium Italian coffee.
At its core, Roggenart strives to provide a warm and welcoming environment where guests can feel at home — finding moments of comfort and relaxation amid their busy days.
Sweet Cascades Chocolatier
Sweet Cascades was created by Sue Whary in 2004 as a chocolate fountain catering company. While catering wedding receptions, bar mitzvahs and other events part time, she discovered the love and addiction of chocolate of many of the guests. (Sue is a salty girl!) So, with the support of her husband, Rick, she left her well-paying, great benefits desk job, and opened a chocolate shop in Historic Ellicott City, Maryland, Sweet Cascades Chocolatier.
Sue is self-taught, always reading and looking for new trends and flavors. Rick has become a huge part of the business, with his weird and wacky chocolates. Sweet Cascades is continuing to grow and create new and different creations for our customers, while keeping the traditional and favorites.
The Blind Pig Tavern
The Blind Pig Tavern is a modern-day Speakeasy. The cozy, dimly-lit atmosphere offers Lounge, Dining, Pub, and Bar seating. The original brick walls and wood panels give an authentic era vibe in the lower level of the Historic Savage Mill. The Blind Pig menu heavily features sharable flatbreads and small plates along with a range of decedent pasta dishes and oversized sandwiches. The bar offerings are heavily focused on craft cocktails, local craft beers, and an expansive selection of whiskey, bourbon, and scotch.
The Great Room
The Great Room features an expansive deck overlooking both the scenic Little Patuxent River and the last standing Bollman Truss semi-suspension bridge in the world. Vaulted ceilings, fourteen-feet-high windows, sky lights, and a large dance floor makes the Great Room perfect for any type of event.
