27 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.“

“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!“

“The cafe manager Alicia, and the head chef came to speak with my wife as we're dealing with some minor allergies, they went way further than any other restaurant we've been to and made sure my wife and 1 year old had everything they needed. They made the food absolutely amazing and showed how much they put the guest first, absolutely amazing food and selection.“

“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 ✅.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Coffee in Chester County!“

“-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😅“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!! ☕️“

“What started as a spontaneous lunch stop turned into one of our favorite finds. We were impressed from the very first visit by the welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent selection of wines. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We enjoyed it so much that we came back again the very next day, and every meal was just as good as the first. The quality of the food, great service, and overall experience made this a place we'll definitely return to whenever we're in the area.“

“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.“

“Visited for the first time on Sunday. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich & it did not disappoint. Waitstaff was very friendly & welcoming. I would definitely return!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best burger and caesar salad in the state.“

“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.“

““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!“

“Excellent service. The food fresh and delicious.“
