38 Best Cafes near West Chester

“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.“

“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!!! ☕️“

“Excellent service and great pumpkin blonde brownies lol“

“Best Coffee in Chester County!“

“Wonderful meal! Delicious small plates that we shared. Especially loved the bruschetta! All of our party of 4 loved our entrees. Rosemary rack of lamb crusted with honey goat cheese was excellent. Beautiful ambience subdued and classy yet unpretentious. Chris was our waiter…tops in every way. Just the right amount of attention. Spence Cafe remains to be our favorite West Chester restaurant.“

“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!“

“I can’t say enough about Allan and his team! Bagel Bistro is the perfect spot for breakfast or lunch, and a great cup of coffee. Rustin Post Prom wants to send a special Thank you for their generous support and generous donation to make our “reading terminal” complete at post prom.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Staff were very pleasant and the coffee was delicious. We were visiting the town and were very happy we made the stop.“

“Café Pom is beautiful, clean and spacious. The staff is welcoming. The Vospov Kufte was amazing; such fresh, bright flavors!“

“Two of us split the buffalo cauliflower wrap and chili for a light lunch. Both were great and fresh, but the chili especially was spiced very well. The chai chocolate chip cookie at the register was an impulse buy, but we did not regret it. A few other vegan options we didn't try that looked tasty, including a banana cake dessert.“

“We go there at least 4 or 5 times a week for breakfast with our Breakfast Club friends - Food is great and owner, Bechem, and workers all put up with us! (Thank them for that) Great selection of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner!“

“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!“

“The best baguettes ever!!“

“April and Phil are such wonderful and welcoming people. Rose hip barn definitely has something for everybody. The atmosphere was so cozy and the staff were super helpful. We will definitely be back“

“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!“

“I had takeout today from Nudy’s café and dealt with a specific representative named Brandon! Not only was Brandon, extremely friendly, punctual thorough and thoughtful. He asked the right questions and was very accommodating. I accidentally did not know that there were multiple restaurants within a 15 mile radius and accidentally at first went to the Paoli location when I arrived a nice lady at the front helped direct me to the right location and at this point nudities was about to close. I immediately called the Malvern location and spoke with Brandon again notifying him that I had not been from the area and had gotten confused about what location I was supposed to pick up from. He was almost apologetic, even though it wasn’t even his fault. It was my fault. I am very grateful for how sweet he was regarding my foolishness. He was extremely sweet and kind and would highly recommend this place. The food was awesome thanks, Brandon.!!!!“

“The best pastries & muffins! They’re definitely made daily and always fresh!!!“

“Great espresso! ☕️ Cozy environment, fresh bagels!“

“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!“

“😎 excellent service and food is good“

“Hands down best pancakes EVER!! My dad used to eat here at least once a week and he sadly has passed away. He used to rave about the food and service. I decided to go recently and I see why he loved it so much! I am now a regular customer 😁“

“We have been customers of Bonu Cafe Express - Exton for several years, for sit in, take-out, as well as for family meals for holiday dinners... We've always been pleased with the friendly service, delicious food quality, and value... We recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter, and approached to owner about catering the event for 35 guests... We enjoyed a feast of humus, chicken kabob, beef tenderloin kabob, grilled fresh vegetables, and rice... The meal was ready to go as scheduled, we were provided with chafing dishes and sterno to keep the meal warm, and enjoyed a great dining experience... Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal... A big thank you Bijan and his team!“

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

“I was very upset with your store the other night. Having two managers on , not caring about anything. Talking about their life’s when making food. The salad was the worst I have ever had and also my daughter got soup and it was all Broth. Like really. I will never go back to them. Never.“

“Good food. Excellent service“

“Love the lionville juice pod! they are so nice and all of the food is delicious and fresh - the salads and toasts are my favorite and of course you can't beat the acai bowls. personal favorite item on the menu is the malibu barbie smoothie - you're in for a treat! we always do takeout but it's a cute place to sit and eat lunch, too.“
