34 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!“

“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! ?“

“Like it here. Clean. Good.“

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

“I was hungry for stuffed grape leaves and ordered that and a few other items for dinner and baklava for dessert and everything was amazingly delicious!!!! I called to let the manager know how much we enjoyed our takeout meals and she was so gracious and immediately signed us up for their rewards program. I highly recommend Cafe Emis. Everything was freshly made and so, so good!!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!! ☕️“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Been here a few times and never had a bad experience. Everyone there is super nice and the food is great and very well priced. It gives me a feeling of a family owned business when I go there and the vibes are great. Highly recommend.

“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.“

“These folks never disappoint! Had a proper tea party this weekend for our mom's birthday catered from here. Everything was great! Food was prepared on time and packaged for travel back to the house. Everyone enjoyed. Staff is great and very accommodating.“

“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!“

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

“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!“
