Fresh Start Café and Bakery

Went in Saturday morning and purchased 6 cupcakes. They sure looked good in the case but they was so stale. I spent over $40 in cupcakes and 4 muffins. Muffins were good but them cupcakes!😬

Awesome drinks and great staff! Lots of varieties and options from coffees, teas, and other drinks. I adore the seasonal options and they usually have a list of the baristas favorite drinks too that can often give ideas when I want to try something new. The lines can be long during events like the farmers market but the baristas are friendly and quick.

They offer a lot of delicious baked goods and pastries but also some more filling snacks like quiche and energy squares (my personal favorite). They also serve meals such as BLTs, Acai Bowls, jalapeño poppers, and several breakfast options. Highly recommend 🥰

Pretty peaceful atmosphere, customer service wasn't the best and when ordering, slightly impatient. The Latte was great though, but slightly more expensive than nearby shops.

By far the best coffee shop in Delaware! They have the best seasonal drinks and some of my favorite pastries. If you haven’t tried the raspberry poptart yet, you’re missing out. The service is always great and the food is always delicious.

The place itself was wonderful. The staff was bothered we interrupted their conversation. Got the French Toast. Not sure if it was because we got there later in the day, but it was not good at all. 2 bites and we threw it away. It was only 5 bucks and worth the try. May try again earlier in the day.

Absolutely the best carrot ever!

Fast and friendly service, the baked goods are to die for! Definitely would recommend trying the strawberry cheesecake! Their iced shaken Espresso is so good on a hot day!

I am not a coffee drinker, and I don’t really care for tea. But I am a small business and I do a lot of networking and meeting clients -frequently in coffee shops. And while I do not necessarily care for the offerings, I always feel obligated to purchase something if I’m going to be using a seat to further my business. Today I tried a Matcha lemonade. Today I also learned that they offer a try something else if you don’t like it policy. I guess Matcha is an acquired taste. I did not enjoy it, not at all. I couldn’t think of anything else I wanted to try, so I just asked for an ice water as my replacement drink. I do appreciate their service, and I do appreciate your space for my meetings. And even though I did not drink your green drink today, please know that i value what you bring to the community!

The chai latte and the drip coffee were phenomenal, as well as the top end atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.

My favorite breakfast place in Delaware.

Fresh Start provided a luscious white cake with vanilla buttercream frosting for a sweet little front-porch wedding. Everyone raved about the delicious cake. I will order again.

My husband ordered a birthday cake for me from this bakery. It was beautiful and delicious! He also said the prices were very reasonable.

Both sandwiches I ordered had bread as hard as a rock. If I hadn't gotten them to go, I would have sent them back.
