“This place has been here a while but I'm so glad we got there when we did! Each time I've ordered something different and we have not been disappointed! The best Ruben I've had since Sharffer's, and I've tried them everywhere! The drinks are good, service is with smile and there is also outside seating!!! I highly recommend it, you'll come back I'm sure. It's a bit pricey, but what isn't these days?? Worth every dime. Bon a petite!“

We will be visiting the restaurant again for my husband's birthday. He loved the food so much he selected it for a family celebration. Take some time to dine at Wesley's Restaurant, you won't be disappointed.“

“Sean was our server. Said he was new to the job, but performed like he had years under his belt. Took care of everything we needed. My mother-in-law is doing chemo and he bent over backwards to make sure she had exactly what she needed to eat a successful meal out. Ask for him if you go to Peoples Plaza.“

“Enjoyed my birthday tonight with family and friends. Grew up in Newark and have never eaten here. It did not disappoint. Love the history and the ambience. Our waitress, Piper was phenomenal, .... friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. The food was perfectly portioned and all tasted great. The soft pretzel was wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts was excellent and the short ribs were tender and flavorful. The apple cider mule was a perfect drink to top it all off.“

Definitely will be back on mornings that are relaxed.

Vegetarian options: Breakfast items that are vegetarian.“

“Enjoyed dining on the patio. Great combo playing that did not blast your ears. Will have to check back next spring to see if they return.“

“Bit of a wait for a table. Eclectic crowd of townies and college students. It was good that only half our group showed up as we would never have gotten a table together. One of our group tapped a keg and had to switch to a lesser ale! Food was good and service was attentive given how busy it was. Definitely worth a return trip.“

“From Florida, visiting family here….got an Airbnb in Charlestown…it’s our last night here and decided to order from Market Street for a quick dinner while we pack up….. Best. Cheesesteak. Ever.“

“I went with my group on a Thursday which was a very light evening which allowed my group to enjoy our whole dining experience. Our server had time to explain the menu and make recommendation to our group that included a 4 year old. Why is this relevant? Because, she gave her the same respectful service as she did the adults. Thank you. Now let's get to the food. I had the Chicken Picatta. I had to take the picture because at the first bite I new it was about to be destroyed. I left nothing on the plate. The Impossible Sloppy for those who need a vegan option also got a thumbs up. The food comes out hot hot! No one complained! I will be back the next time I am in Delaware.“

“Great food and people“

“Some friends and I went to Catch45 for lunch yesterday and we had great food and conversation. We were there for nearly four hours. The ambiance was nice and the food plentiful and delicious. We had beef patties, fried plantains two ways, jollof rice, red beans, attike and the yummy sauces. The staff was amazing in sharing their culture through exploring the menu with us, making recommendations, and ensuring we enjoyed everything. We were offered complimentary dishes to try and lots of attention was given. We can’t wait to go back again. Thanks for a great dining experience.“

“Stopped here on a whim today, and was very impressed. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend!“

“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. 🚀🍫“

“stoll as good as it was 20 years ago when I was eating it for study fuel!“

“If you want to pay a premium for your order, and then not get what you ordered, please pay a visit to The Burger Den! oh and if you ordered through a delivery service or their website, good luck finding a phone number to contact them when they fudge your order. Food 7/10 Service 0/10 reliability 0/10“

“Totally worth the drive from PA! Course was in great shape and had a fantastic lunch afterward in their Pub.“

“We just enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening. We started with the buratta app. Fresh buratta with tomato jam and chopped kalamata olives, the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I then had the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was also good. The "holy" trinity sauce was quite flavorful. I'm so glad I ventured from my normal order, which had also always been yummy.“

“the BBQ burger with straw onions is delicious. my husband got the avocado burger.“

“I dream about your nachos 🤤“
