25 Best Cafes near Kennett Square

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Many fine quality selections of meats, cheeses and snacks. Very good service and great accessible parking ✅.“

“Like it here. Clean. Good.“

“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! ?“

“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.“

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

“-Masarap ung cake nila na bento affordable at 220 pesos Moist ung cake at sosyal ang lasa ..will reorder - ung tapa nila is masarap talaga malambot po ..medyo bitin lang sa serving i guess pede mahalan ng kaunti for bigger serving -ang sipag ng server sya po ata lahat gumagawa at mabait at pero accommodating Cons- ung daing na bangus silog is not fresh na po.(tuyo at medyo makati na po sya) maybe consider alisin na sya sa menu if not that saleable and palitan nlang ng porkchop /tocino/friedchicken or ibang saleable item. - medyo matagal po serving time pero oks lang we enjoy the ambience -sana may access door si kuya sa kitchen kawawa labas pasok po sa store😅“

“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!!! ☕️“

“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.

Dietary restrictions: They offer plenty of gluten free and veg options“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best Coffee in Chester County!“

“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!“

“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!“

“First time here and it was delicious!! Had the steak street tacos and churros. Churros are to die for!! Hot and cream in the middle!! The best I’ve ever had. Everything was great!!“

“This catering experience was top notch! I needed some hand holding since I don't host things very often, and Pamela made it a great experience. She guided me through food options to ensure our event was successful. She was considerate of food allergies and reminded me of the need for vegetarian options. She ensured we provided a balance of options so that every guest was satisfied. I received RAVE reviews from our guests. Her and her husband arrived on time and set up all of our platters so that I literally just sat and watched as everything was perfectly placed. I would highly recommend Pamela's Gourmet for any event!“

“Wow… this place is incredible. Awesome wings that are meaty and they have great flavor choices. I love the Italian herb. Pizza (try the Grandma) Sicilian and NY style are available. Great selection of food with daily specials. We ate outside which is covered by cool sails. Inside seating as well as a separate picnic table section. Dog friendly with water bowls. Pizza stands are empty crushed tomato containers. Super friendly staff Plenty of free parking and they have music on some nights.“

“Excellent service. I asked Jenna if they could make a fruit smoothie without Greek yogurt because I'm lactose intolerant. She talked to the employees, then came back and said yes and that she would make it herself. I'm glad they understand food allergies without any problems. Great job!“

“Great selection of sandwiches and soups, I just wish they had more soup sizes instead of just "decent, if a bit smallish" and "a week's supply". Other than that, it's my go to place for a quick soup. Prices are reasonable and service is fast.“

“Best burger and caesar salad in the state.“

“Excellent service. The food fresh and delicious.“
