“I was referred to Willows Wisp bakery by a friend of mine to bake my daughter’s wedding cake. I was in a panic because I waited too long to order this cake but Ashley provided a very calm and positive assurance that she had it covered! I sent her a picture of the cake my daughter requested and she came through for us. Not only was the cake exactly what we wanted but this cake was exquisite. Everyone LOVED this cake. I was asked over and over who we ordered the cake from. If you are looking for baked goods please do yourself a favor and call Willows Wisp….you will not be disappointed!!“

“The Mercury Café is a lovely vegetarian café/restaurant in the charming historic town of New Castle, with plenty of vegan options. We ordered the vegan Pulled-Oat “Pork” Sandwich, which was excellent. The cocktails were great too. Updated from previous review on 2025-11-29“

“I have been here once before to do a private party for my company with princess Tiana last year it was fun . Today however I brought my 9 month old to play for the first time . There was lots for her to do . The space was clean , staff was friendly, and I liked that they had snacks and drinks ready to buy if needed . The bathroom area was so nice for moms to change age the baby. It was worth the drive from Dover and we will be back !“

“We’re frequent customers at the Montvale, New Jersey, store, but this was our first visit to the Christiana (Delaware) First Watch. Spectacular food and spectacular hospitality from our server, Vanessa! I always get the ‘Traditional’ breakfast and a blueberry pancake. So yummy! My wife loved her ‘Farmhouse Skillet Scramble’! Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert“

“The new goddess sandwich and Asiago bread egg sandwich 🤤🤤🤤 so deliciosooo… fresh new options.“

“There's not many places in the area for a good breakfast where it's not crowded.
I stopped in today and ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on buttered toast and it was perfect.
The service is friendly from the former sub shop owner on Cleveland Avenue auto row. I think it was called Olympic steak shop.
I always enjoy their food at Delmar Cafe and plenty of seating.“

“My new favorite coffee and dessert place! The staff were so warm and welcoming. Coffee and baklava delicious!!“

“Bet. Plus that curly headed blonde is a 10/10. Would bang for an Island Green.“
