Cafes near New Castle

“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 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 💞“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Exellent service, great food....“

“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❤️“

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

“So I give it 5 stars for the people because the people who work there are really nice, always get my food on time delivered and I know they cant really can control how the food tastes that’s more of a corporate thing

As for my review on the food I personally like the ceaser salad but I would get it with spring greens instead of the lettuce because the lettuce is always way too unripe( which isn’t their fault its corporate)

The seasonal butternut squash soup is way to sweet, it tastes more like a dessert rather then a soup, like if it was in cookie form it would be a perfectly good cookie, but I don’t want my soups to taste like a cookie

I like the cheddar broccoli soup, just always have to get the small one since it’s pretty heavy.

Bread is always good, I like the bread, nice and fun to dip in the soup.

Baked potato soup is eh, I mean it really dosnt have a lot going for it I would just rather eat a baked potato.

I don’t know why they got rid of the south west ceaser salad but that was really good, probably it was seasonal but I personally prefer it. Solid salad

Drinks are pretty good, very solid. Personally like to sip on through my day.

Overall it’s solid I havnt gotten anything rotten or spoiled it’s just if you like Panera the staff is friendly so it’s a good Panera to stop at“

“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!“

“Delicious meal, great drinks and the waitress was awesome.“

“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“

“Best burger and caesar salad in the state.“

“Excellent service. The food fresh and delicious.“

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

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