43 Best Cafes near Chadds Ford

“I can’t believe there weren’t any reviews. This is a solid lunch spot in the Brandywine Art Museum. The quiche and sandwich also came with a generous serving of greens. The mushroom soup is made with Kennett Square mushrooms. There is wine and beer available. The dining is lovely—overlooking the Brandywine River. Everyone who worked there was super nice.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Great place for Greek food, desserts, and, of course, Greek coffee! I am Greek, and I haven't been able to find a place in the States that offers “Freddo Cappuccino”. Yesterday, I did! Excellent flavor!“

“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! ?“

“The best quiche I’ve ever had - and the macchiato was delicious! The best part of my first (and definitely not last!) visit was meeting Bob and Mike! They are salt of the Earth kind of people. We will definitely be back!“

“Yummy food ranging from fresh salads to savory entrees. However, be prepared for a bit of sticker shock, as the prices are quite expensive for a casual meal. We paid $14 for a chicken salad sandwich. The service model is strictly self-serve, though the staff remains incredibly helpful and is always on hand to answer questions or provide guidance. Overall, the atmosphere is lovely and the facility is kept impeccably clean, making it a pleasant, if pricey, pit stop after a full day of walking.“

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

“A pleasant surprise. We went on a hike nearby and then had a lovely lunch. The menu has something to please everyone. There was about 8 people in our group and everyone's food was plated beautifully and just delicious. We had garden burgers that were over the top full of flavors.
The owner checked in with us and brought the table bagel chips to share.
People in our group were planning on coming back soon.“

“This is one of the best coffee roasters on the Main Line. I love tasting their new beans. I have a subscription and customer service is outstanding. A special shout-out to Julianne at customer service. She’s the best.“

“I've been a regular for thirty years - BEST gourmet cafe in the entire Philadelphia area!“

“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!!“

“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!!! ☕️“

“Amazing ramen, sandwiches, and espresso drinks. Consistently top tier quality and service.“

“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.“

“Their sandwiches and coffee are so good! I recommend turkey brie sandwich. Nice interior and relaxing atmosphere“

“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.“

“I ordered the Koji Caramel Latte from Bean by Bardea on DoorDash and it was worth every single penny. I added a pump of hazelnut and it was honestly one of the best lattes I’ve ever had… rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with a deep caramel flavor that wasn’t overly sweet or artificial. The hazelnut made it even better and gave it that cozy, dessert-like flavor without being too much. You can tell they really care about the quality of their coffee and how they craft their drinks. Even after delivery it was still incredible, which says a lot. I will absolutely be ordering this again.“

“First time here and we was so impressed with how good everything is ,so delicious and fresh ,the staff greet you with a smile and kindness definitely the best place 🥰🥰❤️❤️“

“Took my mom here and had the best experience, a great place to shop.“

“The berry muffin was warm and loaded with berries. Best berry muffin ever. My husband loved his berry tart and coffee. Latte was very good and extra hot, as ordered. Service was pleasant and quick. Today was to-go, but at other times, I sat inside or outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. A+“

“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“

“I would die for this Panera Bread. I have been going here for 15 years and they continue to have the best Mac n cheese out of any other Panera Bread restaurants I’ve been to. I’ve tried Panera Bread’s in Alabama, Georgia, California, Kansas, St.Louis, Colorado, New York, Washington, +, and none of them beat this one. I even got someone I know to drive from Pennsylvania to try this one because it’s that good. People try to tell me all Panera’s taste the same but they don’t. Thank you pls don’t go out of business.“

“Excellent coffee.“

“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❤️“

“Best Coffee in Chester County!“

“My daughter and I went here for lunch today. Atmosphere was so nice. Food was delicious and the workers are soo polite and accommodating. Great experience. Highly recommend this place.“

“Can’t praise this place enough!! Their delicious food, kind and accommodating staff, everything was out standing and so yummy. Coffee was made exactly to my liking and tasted perfect.“

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

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

“My wife and I have dined here several times and it has become a favorite for special dates and occasions. It is fine dining, yet affordable, not the least because of the BYOB policy (which we like). We enjoy the innovative seafood dishes prepared well, along with other offerings. It is elegant and intimate, yet informal and comfortable. Its modest size and acoustic design keeps the noise level to a pleasant buzz, avoiding a too common problem for those who actually want to have an enjoyable conversation without raising their voices. Perhaps for this reason, the clientele seems to trend older. It's not trendy, nor for the hard drinking crowd -- just consistently excellent dishes served with friendly efficiency in a pleasant atmosphere. One suggestion: the receptionist and servers could class up their dress to better fit the rest of the experience, and do better than jeans and t-shirts seen last night.“

“For a Coffee Shop to too regularly serve luke-warm 'regular' coffee is disappointing. How hard can it be? Latte's etc are fine. Food menu has improved of late.“

“Great little breakfast and lunch spot. High quality homemade options with nice portions. Try the homemade creamed dry beef!“

“Love this place. Lovey atmosphere with tasty food and delicious chai tea.“

“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!“

“I don’t know what I like the best the Amazing customer service,the food or the coffee …. All get 700 stars !!!“

““Evan A” is incredibly kind, and made me feel right at home. I forgot to grab some of my food at the pickup counter, and he tracked me down, brought it to me, and asked if there was anything else I needed. He then assisted me with a refill (as I have mobility issues) before resuming his work.

Great establishment, consistent and quality food; would recommend!“

“Best burger and caesar salad in the state.“
