29 Best Cafes near Chadds Ford

“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!“

“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.“

“Though some things have changed at the Cafe' since our last visit, the food is still the same high quality, and the atmosphere can't be equaled anywhere. Many items that used to be available on the steam tables are now pre-packaged, so service is faster and more hygienic. In particular, the mushroom soup and other hot items are kept at the ideal serving temperature, which I really liked. This isn't McDonald's though, so don't expect fast food pricing. You pay for the convenience and the setting, which are well worth it, since you don't have to leave the Gardens to eat. It's best to think of the Cafe' as a snack break, instead of a meal, because there are many fine restaurants nearby for later.“

“We went here yesterday for the first time as part of our AmazingCo Mystery Picnic date. seemed like a popular place. We were given a GF chicken wrap for me, a falafel bowl for my husband, a hummus plate to share, a cinnamon scone for my husband and two drinks. I had no idea what to expect, we don't live in the area. The food was AMAZING!!! I honestly couldn't believe how good it was! The GF chicken wrap... delicious!! the hummus tray...who knew hummus could taste so good!! they went above my expectations. I normally feel like I'm getting the bare minimum when I go out for food since I cannot have gluten or dairy. this was certainly not the case. the ONLY downside was the wait for the food was kind of long but it was Soo worth it!!! I'm ready to take the 50 min drive to go back today haha definitely have added it to my favorite food places where I can enjoy DF GF. highly highly recommend!!“

“There is nothing on the menu you can order and not like. Seriously. Everything is freshly made with locally sourced ingredients, recipes are well thought out and meticulously made with the absolue best combinations. All baked goods are baked daily on site and are the closest you will get to what heaven is. Service is superb. Servers are friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make sure you're having an excellent experience. It may be small inside and have a small parking lot but that's the appeal. It's like a little cozy home! Don't let another day go by without trying! It's THAT good! ?“

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

“Beautiful location, great coffee and pasties. Very unique and interesting. Highly recommend! It’s worth a a special trip here just to se inside! Try the Kyoto Cold Brew and strawberry rhubarb scone! So good!!“

“Like it here. Clean. Good.“

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

“What a sweet place. Service was outstanding, vibe was great. Food was super delicious. Variety was great and presentation was beautiful. Prices great too. Can’t ask for more on a slightly hungover day after an Eagles game! Yummy lox bagel and eggs Benedict!“

“Ordered a quiche to bring home (cheese and bacon, light on the onion) and it was fantastic! It was fully baked but I found it better heated for 15 minutes at 300 degrees in the oven on a baking rack because the bottom crust was a little underdone. Lots of raves and served five with seconds for some.“

“My wife and I finally were able to try out this quaint charmer. We ordered French toast and an omelet plus coffee. Everything about this place was inviting. Live music good food and ambiance has that cafe feel. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.“

“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 💞“

“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!“

“Best coffee I’ve had since I’ve been in the USA, and only 2 other coffee shops back home in London that I feel come fairly close to Gryphon Coffee… but Gryphon for me is #1 You will not be disappointed!!! Great atmosphere, great stuff, great food and most of all, the BEST coffee!!! ☕️“

“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!“

“Love the shop and the tea room! Enjoying chatting with the owners, had a great time!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Waitress was great. Faye was the best. Thank you for making our visit special ❤️“

“First time & it was amazing!! Our server was Riley & she was AWESOME! Super sweet & very helpful when we told her it was our first time. My best friend & I came here to celebrate him getting a new job, she over heard our convo & gave us celebratory champagne for the cause. The food was amazing & such a fun dining experience! We most definitely will be back“

“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.“

“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!“

“Staff is killing it during this pandemic! My only complaint is that there wasn't a lot of cinnamon on my cinnamon crunch bagel. Only a dusting 😔 but it was still good!“

“Excellent coffee.“

“WC has over sixty restaurants and Spence Cafe is our favorite of all. Intimate dining experience with always excellent menu options prepared by Andrew Patton, owner/chef, who's one of the best in the county. When the weather is nice, their backyard patio is lovely. And BYOB to boot!“

“Best Coffee in Chester County!“
