The Old Dairy

The Old Dairy is absolutely amazing. The staff and the owners treat their customers like family. I have never felt so welcomed in an eating establishment. The food is incredible, the dessert is delicious, and the overall feeling of the restaurant is comforting. This is the number one place to go in Macomb Illinois that offers service and sense of community!! We are lucky to have this gem in our town!! Emily and Marc care for their customers and staff like family and we are so thankful for them!!

Absolutely loved my visit. Today was my first. Coffee was delicious, even got some to go. Haha! Don't know exactly how it's suppose to work there, but I'm not a shy person. We walked in I noticed two different seating areas one up front, and one in the back by the coffee bar and where you order your food. We choose a table near the coffee bar, so I could get a feel for the place. I'm assuming a lot of the customers are regulars, called them by name most of the time. I noticed where you order your food there is menus you can take to your table, and after you decide return the menu to the order here and wait, someone will be with you shortly, you don't go unnoticed. After that just sit back down, food is at your table in less then ten minutes, I used my time to go get a latte which was probably the best one I've ever had. When your all done there's a sign that says pay here, they'll confirm your order, and don't forget to tip! They do accept cash and debit card I noticed. Hope you enjoy the visit, I did the staff is very friendly. Made me feel welcomed, and I will return again.

A nice place in the neighborhood. Small church or friend groups often visit it for breakfast. I would like to see more younger faces, like under 50 :), but the food is decent. Omelet for breakfast, good variety of sandwiches for lunch.

Signature Lemon Lavender Cake was Spot on! All the food was super fresh and delicious. Amazing friendly Staff. Very Welcoming. Restrooms were clean, and the environment had good vibes. Great Menu items with a wide variety of choices.

Had a great breakfast, Fantastic Cinnamon Rolls.
Very friendly place to be!.
The staff even would come out and ask you how your food was. Everyone was always smiling and seemed happy to be at their job.

Although we are living in SC now, The Old Dairy is still the place where we meet friends when we go back to Macomb to visit. The veggie sandwich is still my favorite and I have not found one like it anywhere else. Desserts are delicious! And the coffee is awesome! When my daughter was younger, we would hang out and eat and play the various board games they had available for all the customers to use. The staff and owners are welcoming and provide great service! Looking forward to coming back when we return!

I have eaten there for Breakfast a few times and today I thought I try the Lunch Menu. I got The Italian Beef sandwich to eat while sitting in and A Old Dairy Sub to go. Omg The Italian Beef was Amazing! I couldn't stop eating it. I finished my sandwich before I did my chips and salad. I'm glad I found this Amazing Diner and that I can walk there any time.

Breakfast here is absolutely amazing! Try a grilled cinnamon roll that will literally melt in your mouth or any of their homemade pies or brownies. Locally owned by an adorable couple that puts as much love in their business as they do in their family.

Love the Old Dairy! The food is excellent, the owners and staff are friendly and welcoming! Like other restaurants in this college community, I will continue to support them with curbside and carry-out during this pandemic until the day when I am allowed to dine in again! It’s a favorite!

The Old Dairy is an absolute gem!! We are so lucky to have this family run business in Macomb. The food and service are superb!! You’re always greeted with a friendly hello. And how can you go wrong with their infamous cookie dough brownies?!! I highly recommend visiting the Old Dairy!!!
