33 Best Cafes near Hockessin

“Amazing food and super friendly staff. Great Full Breakfast and tea!“

“Have been in here a few times now. The staff is extremely friendly and the service has always been wonderful. There’s a nice combo of people out to lunch with friends and also people working on computers with a cup of coffee so it feels open to everyone. The bottomless cup option is really nice too 💞“

“Administrative details - While you usually must make a reservation a year in advance (which I did), there are a very few earlier spots available on their website. In addition, if you are on the email list, they send the occasional last-minute availability. Talula’s is BYOB. The price was $125 and with all the other things, taxes, gratuities, it came to $160. The Nook Table is available for 6-8 diners and the Farm Table is for larger parties. Website link is below. Everything is presented in “tasting” small portions. In addition to the menu, they provided a couple of additional offerings. I did not do a good job of capturing the delightful descriptions of the food provided by our server. (The next time I go, I will video the descriptions if they allow.) The group did a great job of bringing wine which was beautifully poured in appropriate glassware by our server. The server also paired the wine with the offerings for us! The service was exceptional without being pretentious. After each tasting, plates, utensils and glasses were cleared and refurbished so discreetly that you hardly noticed. The menu changes with the “farm to table” availability. My favorite was a squash tarte. [I was delighted to find that I did not like the foie gras. It is “made” in a most inhumane and horrible way. This is the only time I have eaten it and I will never eat it again.] I was sorry to find that by the Black Garlic Beef Ribeye (#6 on the list), I was getting to the point of “too much food.” The only downsides were “too much food” for most of us and the wines they suggested for the pairings were hard/impossible to find. I personally did not like the varieties of wines they suggested for pairings. The rest of the party enjoyed the comparable wines they were able to find and allowed the server to pair with the tastings. I will be making a reservation for next year very soon. I have already made a reservation for the “sister” Talula’s Garden in Philly for September.“

“Great place for Greek food, desserts, and, of course, Greek coffee! I am Greek, and I haven't been able to find a place in the States that offers “Freddo Cappuccino”. Yesterday, I did! Excellent flavor!“

“The best quiche I’ve ever had - and the macchiato was delicious! The best part of my first (and definitely not last!) visit was meeting Bob and Mike! They are salt of the Earth kind of people. We will definitely be back!“

“Great coffeeshop to meet locals. Excellent coffee plus the best "Bishops Avocado Toast" with two fired eggs on top is fantastic.“

“Pastries and coffee were delicious!“

“Two of us split the buffalo cauliflower wrap and chili for a light lunch. Both were great and fresh, but the chili especially was spiced very well. The chai chocolate chip cookie at the register was an impulse buy, but we did not regret it. A few other vegan options we didn't try that looked tasty, including a banana cake dessert.“

“I love this place from the simple food menus that is priced perfectly and prepared freshThe onigori are the best and at $4 shidddAlso they get me , I’ve been making strawberry matchas at home and I finally found a place that makes it very good … if only Comma and ramen Kumamoto could fusion form together ? I wish“

“Beautiful spot with comfy chairs and a varied and delicious menu. My date had the Dubai Crepe and I had a walnut baklava and a pistachio borma. The music was pleasant if unfamilliar but aided in the atmosphere being relaxing and making conversation easy. There was a nice little selection of games (checkers, tic tac toe. Dominoes, etc). We can't wait to try everything on the menu!“

“Bulgogi tacos - Delicious! Bulgogi breakfast bowl - Excellent! Friendly atmosphere, easily found in Trolley Square. My son says the bubble tea is the best he's had... and he's had a lot of bubble tea ;) The ramen broth is one of the most flavorful I've had. I highly recommend Pinji's Cafe!“

“Their sandwiches and coffee are so good! I recommend turkey brie sandwich. Nice interior and relaxing atmosphere“

“If you want real FRESH, ORGANIC, GREENS, VEGGIES and delicious ingredients with no added salt or fake dressings, then Verde is your joint! The food is so beautiful and delicious. They put care into your order and it's my go to when I want take out lunch or easy quick healthy dinner!“

“Went for lunch with my son. We ate on the patio. It was cozy, quaint. Beautiful weather made it even more enjoyable. The food options were great; different from the same old same old. The waitress was busy but brought our drinks and food in a timely manner. Can’t wait to go back.“

“This place was such a special find, wonderful owners & staff, delicious food (get the peach cobbler!) and great selection of other foods and wines to take home or have a glass while you are there. Cannot wait to visit again when we are next over from the UK!“

“I had the best Cuban sandwich! I found out they use their own marinated pork, instead of ham. Puts the generic versions offered by chain restaurants to shame!“

“I didn’t just grab vegan chocolate at 67 Cafe — I grabbed a whole experience. After snagging a delicious vegan chocolate bar from the neighboring Newark Natural Foods, I wandered into 67 Cafe, found myself a super comfy chair, and set up shop to study something a little niche: autonomous vehicle prompt engineering (yeah, it’s as futuristic as it sounds).

The atmosphere here is perfect for focus — relaxed, welcoming, and with that kind of low hum that makes you feel like you’re part of a quiet but thriving community. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Raina, who was working the counter when I came in and whom I rewarded a decent tip to. Friendly, efficient, and just genuinely good energy — exactly the kind of person you want as the face of a neighborhood spot.

Whether you’re looking for a place to sip, snack, or deep-dive into a cutting-edge study session, 67 Cafe has you covered. I’ll absolutely be back — probably with another vegan treat in one hand and a laptop full of AI prompts in the other. 🚀🍫“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing place! Nice service, tasty and fresh pastry and delicious dessert! Almond croissant was so good , as scones and turnovers too. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in for the first time… had time to kill before heading to Yarn & Bone in the same shopping center. IT WAS AMAZING. The coffee was fresh and delicious (coming from someone that drinks it black… iykyk). I got the Eggs Benedict on the Cheddar Biscuit and I would drive up from Dover just to eat that again 😂😍. We have adoption events once a month in their neighboring store, and this is going to be a monthly breakfast stop moving forward!“

“Visited for the first time on Sunday. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich & it did not disappoint. Waitstaff was very friendly & welcoming. I would definitely return!“

“Love this place. Lovey atmosphere with tasty food and delicious chai tea.“

“My husband ate one of Bing's Sticky buns and loved it so much. Mind you he doesnt like sweets. We will definitely be coming back for more treats!“

“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“

“This catering experience was top notch! I needed some hand holding since I don't host things very often, and Pamela made it a great experience. She guided me through food options to ensure our event was successful. She was considerate of food allergies and reminded me of the need for vegetarian options. She ensured we provided a balance of options so that every guest was satisfied. I received RAVE reviews from our guests. Her and her husband arrived on time and set up all of our platters so that I literally just sat and watched as everything was perfectly placed. I would highly recommend Pamela's Gourmet for any event!“

“Many fine quality selections of meats, cheeses and snacks. Very good service and great accessible parking ✅.“

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

“Best burger and caesar salad in the state.“

“Excellent service. The food fresh and delicious.“

“Wonderful service, fast, so attentive—and HOMEMADE FOOD. As a college student, this is the most affordable ($5-10/meal & $2-3/drink—total $60 for 5 people today) and best tasting. There are dishes here you can’t get anywhere else (or cook yourself). Also the best bacon!“

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

“Great cafe. Be prepared to wait when busy, but the drinks and coffees are made with care and are the best in the area. Matcha is not a quick presweetened powder; it's ceremonial grade and made the traditional way. Iced Chai lattes are the best!! Smoothies!!“
