The vibe is light and airy, and the service is always friendly. I especially appreciate their rotating drink specials and options for non-coffee drinks, like a matcha. Also shoutout to the scones from OsoSweet bakery across Baltimore Pike--they go so well with a coffee and are huge and tasty. Chadds Ford Coffee House is what a chain like Starbucks aspires to be: local, cozy, and artisanal. Good music playing loud enough that you can hear it, but not so loud that you can't have a good conversation. There is wifi and a good amount of seating, including stools for solo diners who might want to open a laptop and send a few emails while eating the aforementioned giant scone. It's also easy to get takeout service, but I'd say it's worth spending a few minutes here to really savor your food and drink.

I ordered the matcha cloud and it was good. They're using pink coconut water and heavy cream in the matcha cloud. You can taste the heavy cream more if you don't mix it and you'll want it mix it. The cortado on the other hand was made very well, but the taste of the espresso was a little off. They must use a dark roast bean for their espresso which was just a bit bitter for the 50/50 cortado. Would be fine in a sweetened latte. I'd come here again!

I ordered it as a Turkey bowl salad with a gluten free scone and cofe au lait. Instead they made me a sandwich. They forgot the scone. When I finally got the salad it was great. The blueberry scone was okay. It was more cake like than biscuity and pretty light on the blueberries. The coffee was nice and hot. Because there's no waitress service I had to repeatedly get up from my seat to check on my order before and after they bungled it. If I'd wanted I could have stood there to wait but there's no place to SIT and wait and to see if your order is ready. In conclusion: the turkey bowl was good but it's just deli meat. The rest of the salad was what was really good. I I think people come here for the ambiance because $14.50 for a salad made with deli meat was not special. My friend ordered a cinnamon bun which she said was "okay." She prefers the grilled sticky buns at Hank's.

Scenario - Friday evening, super busy in restaurant with additional large private affair going on…read more We had not made reservations (we are not local) but were told we could sit outside which was fine with us. We sat. Others were served. We asked if we would get service and the waiter, instead of saying, 'hey, we're just really slammed, I'll get back to you asap' gave us the feeling that we were asking for way too much. Our neighbors, who had finished eating their dinner, on leaving said 'good luck!' They too were ignored. We saw him come and go - no eye contact which was not a good sign. Long story short we eventually did get served by a very apologetic woman and the food was very good. They partially comped the meal and offered free dessert which we declined. As a gardener the atmosphere is lovely. On this night, for us and at least one other table, the service was severely lacking. We would rather have been told from the beginning that we just couldn't be accommodated and we would have found another place. Would I give it another try? I probably would because everyone can have a bad night and the food was so good. One more thing - I ordered the Caesar Salad which said it was GF and did not list croutons as an ingredient. I would normally just ask them to leave them off but it did not say there were any on the salad so I didn't say anything. They offered another salad minus the croutons but I had already removed them. Ask questions, folks! Especially if you have special dietary needs.

I think this one's a little more aesthetically pleasing. The inside is very clean and they make your drinks very fast. It's also advertised outside that they have Ramen if you're interested in ramen. They have adorable booth seats and some games by the counter if you want to play table games such as connect four. Their drinks come with bubbles, but you could add any extra bubbles if you want. I got the rose oolong melt tea, which came with honey, Boba and I added some lychee boba. I was delicious and I drank it within three minutes. The honey Boba isn't too hard and is perfectly chewy. The milk tea itself was delicious. And when you asked for less ice, they really do give you less ice. You're also able to alter the sugar level to how you want it.

I thought the Brown Sugar drink had a good balance of sweetness and it wasn't too sugary. The Matcha Tea was smooth, well blended and it wasn't gritty. They just started a ramen menu - will be back to try it out in the future

I thought it was a little donut shop, but it was actually a full restaurant/bar. The restaurant didn't really seem to be open yet, but the donuts at back were fresh and coming out for the morning. There were so many options it was very hard to choose what to get. These donuts were special, in that they are brioche and very large and fluffy. We got an apple pie and strawberry cheesecake donut. We definitely didn't need two, but "when in Delaware" I guess? Haha! The woman at the counter was really helpful in our difficult decision and was very friendly and patient with us while we drooled over the donut menu haha!

Then we spotted our waitress and a few other servers vaping as the kitchen door opened. The manager was checked out as we were speaking with him. Needless to say the service was awful, so we left. As I said promising, but their staff and customer service is a complete turn off. Eat well folks! Ps. My daughter did a Yelp review right after we left but somehow it's been removed...

This thing was loaded with bits and pieces of real, quality mushrooms! For the main course I had been DYING to try the 'Soul of Cuba' since I first saw pictures of it. The moment I started eating it I knew...this was gonna be special. The pork tasted like it had been marinated and slow cooked to be flavor packed and oh so tender. Just the right amount of ham, ooooey gooey Swiss cheese, pickles and yellow mustard rounded out this hefty (had to take the rest to go) sandwich on a beautifully toasted Cuban roll. This thing easily became my all-time favorite Cuban sandwich, and it wasn't even close. Side note, I'm not sure what the pasta salad that was included is called but after I took one bite, it was gone before I even finished the first half of my sandwich! The setting is very warm and welcoming and the service is top notch!
