“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!!“

“We have a membership and come regularly, and it has been great for my 2 year old. My son gets so excited every time we visit. The classes and parties are fun, the space is clean, engaging, and perfect for his age, and it’s been amazing having a safe, welcoming place he can enjoy again and again. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The membership has been totally worth it for us- especially when we can't get outside! Love having this space in our neighborhood :)“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“I love everyone and everything about Panera bread, in Middletown and Dover Delaware“

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

“One of my favorite stops! I have loved everything I’ve ordered but my favorites are their speciality lattes or the chai tea latte. It has a super chill environment and is a nice break in my day. Highly recommend❤️“
