35 Best Cafes near Hockessin

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

“A pleasant surprise. We went on a hike nearby and then had a lovely lunch. The menu has something to please everyone. There was about 8 people in our group and everyone's food was plated beautifully and just delicious. We had garden burgers that were over the top full of flavors.
The owner checked in with us and brought the table bagel chips to share.
People in our group were planning on coming back soon.“

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

“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!“

“One of the few times lately where everything on the menu looked beyond amazing - and was! We ordered three sandwiches to share and each bite was more delicious than the last. the Greek coffee was phenomenal and their iced chai latte is one of the best I've had. The atmosphere is amazing, with thoughtful touches paying homage to their Greek roots all over. The staff is friendly and attentive, and genuinely seem to enjoy working together. Absolutely recommend and can't wait to come back.“

“I had a great coffee while waiting for my wife to get her nails done next door. A warm and friendly gentleman owns and operates this cafe. Looking forward to the next time she has an appointment. I did get it to go, but spent some time in good conversation“

“Yummy food ranging from fresh salads to savory entrees. However, be prepared for a bit of sticker shock, as the prices are quite expensive for a casual meal. We paid $14 for a chicken salad sandwich. The service model is strictly self-serve, though the staff remains incredibly helpful and is always on hand to answer questions or provide guidance. Overall, the atmosphere is lovely and the facility is kept impeccably clean, making it a pleasant, if pricey, pit stop after a full day of walking.“

“Always love exploring new Boba Spots. This was our first time trying out Comma Cafe, and I would definitely be coming back again in the future.

I would recommend helping out with the ordering process by providing smaller menu vs looking at the TVs it helps when people might have vision problems.

We ordered a few boba teas and we asked for no ice, but they still came with ice. Being the winter we wanted not to have our drink super cold.

I would recommend creating a loyalty program being on campus can help with repeat customers and increase their visits“

“Amazing ramen, sandwiches, and espresso drinks. Consistently top tier quality and service.“

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

“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.“

“I can’t believe there weren’t any reviews. This is a solid lunch spot in the Brandywine Art Museum. The quiche and sandwich also came with a generous serving of greens. The mushroom soup is made with Kennett Square mushrooms. There is wine and beer available. The dining is lovely—overlooking the Brandywine River. Everyone who worked there was super nice.“

“The berry muffin was warm and loaded with berries. Best berry muffin ever. My husband loved his berry tart and coffee. Latte was very good and extra hot, as ordered. Service was pleasant and quick. Today was to-go, but at other times, I sat inside or outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. A+“

“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.“

“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. 🚀🍫“

“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!“

“The food was pretty good, this would be a nice spot for a date or a weekday lunch. The weekend crowd can be busy and table space is very limited.
Don't come looking for a quick bite. If volume is high, it can take an hour to get your order.
The space has lots of charm and is definitely worth checking out for some great Vegetarian food.“

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

“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!“

“For a Coffee Shop to too regularly serve luke-warm 'regular' coffee is disappointing. How hard can it be? Latte's etc are fine. Food menu has improved of late.“

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

“Bings & Brew is a great local spot. The sausage, egg, and cheese croissant was excellent fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The customer service was outstanding friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which really makes the experience even better. On top of that, the atmosphere is perfect for meetings, conversations, or getting some work done. Highly recommend stopping by for great food, excellent service, and a comfortable meeting space that truly supports community connection.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Excellent service. The food fresh and 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!!“

“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!“

“Best burger and caesar salad in the state.“

“Love this place. Always good. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong!“

“Great selection of sandwiches and soups, I just wish they had more soup sizes instead of just "decent, if a bit smallish" and "a week's supply". Other than that, it's my go to place for a quick soup. Prices are reasonable and service is fast.“
