Sitting here right now. Straight up one of the most pleasant brunches I’ve had in my life. Mimosa and mushroom toast FTW ✌️🐒🦋🌈 great service so nice
This is not a bot or a.i. lol. The service is always top tier and the food is 5 out of 5. I usually leave a star out for something because it’s always room for improvement right?! Not here, this is my go to for me and my family. My hard earned money will be spent here. Brunch was DELICIOUS, no matter which waiter we get, service is ALWAYS top tier customer service. Manager came out and shook my hand and made sure we were good…you can’t ask for more! A hidden gem!

Lovely new find. Came here for brunch and was pleasantly suprised with the great variety on offer. Loved what I had but got food envy seeing what others ordered. Will be back to try more dishes.

Excellent food. We had the Savory crepes. I had the Ham and cheese and my son had the Spinach one. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. We also ordered the chocolate beignets . Amazing with the chocolate sauce.

It it so hard to keep water glasses filled? I asked numerous servers numerous times and yet no water. Food was good but not outstanding. Nice wine list, great desserts. Kudos for the atmosphere that allowed conversations.

The orange juice was freshly squeezed. The tuna salad was made with fresh tuna instead of canned. The mussels were AMAZING! I haven’t had a meal this satisfying in a very long time. The waiters and the bus boy were very attentive. Even the hostess came outside to help my elderly mom out of the car. The experience was exceptional. This is definitely my new go-to for lunch and I’m looking forward to trying dinner.

Spending time at Del Ray Cafe is like coming home every visit. The food is comforting and delicious and the DRC Team Members are always kind and welcoming. Always a great experience. This time I noted several large family gatherings...each a great place to come with your family members of all ages. We had a birthday and the birthday person received a beautiful and delicious special birthday dessert.

This cafe was such a pleasant surprise! My friend and I picked it randomly and it ended up being one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. Smooth rich coffee, homemade whipped cream, and delicious eggs Benedict. Such lovely, attentive and friendly staff. Cozy ambiance and intimate tables.

From the minute we entered the Del ray cafe, the staff were friendly and inviting. The cafe is located on a side street and is a quaint house. We sat on the second floor. We were a party of five and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. I had two pancakes with an egg and scrapple. Two of our party had eggs Benedict, another had a yogurt parfait along with two pancakes. My granddaughter chocolate chip pancakes and ham.
The prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend Del ray cafe.

Very interesting and delicious food, and very kind and attentive staff. The decor is vintage and very cozy. Try the Chestnut soup if you can. Definitely get the Chouquettes and the crepes.

I went to check out Del Ray Cafe for the first time recently and I left overall satisfied. The restaurant is small, quaint, and very well kept. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the decor was nice.
The menu itself has many options that I think can cater to a wide audience of people and I appreciated that. One thing to note is Del Ray Cafe offers a lot of organic options, which is a bonus, since many restaurants use foods and ingredients that are detrimental to human health.
The food itself was prepared quickly and tastes great. The pancakes were delicious and so was the lamb sausage.
My only recommendation would be to give customers more juice. I ordered fresh pressed orange juice and the glass it came in, was much smaller than the glass that had water. Other than that, I'll be coming back for sure!
