    Eclectic dining area
    Lizzy S.

    Super eclectic dining area right off Atlantic ave. Came here off season and it was still super packed. Service was quick and all of the options we ordered were perfect. There are some board games available to play as well as vintage stores to browse while you wait or sip.

    20oz iced latte (oat milk)

    Best Iced Latte I've had. Maybe it's the coffee, maybe it's the preparation. Either way, I'm enamored. Went 3 days in a row. Wish I could go every day.

    Came here while visiting from Virginia last month and am still thinking about it. AMAZING coffee. I got a mocha latte and a chocolate croissant, both of which were sooo good. Flaky buttery chocolately croissant, yum. The guy serving the coffee was really fun and friendly too. I spent like two hours there shopping at the book and toy store. Reasonably priced books and a great selection that's easy to browse through. I usually have no interest in toy stores but this one was SO cool. Also has many comfy places to sit and chill, drink coffee, read, etc. The vibe of this place is unmatched. I will def be back when I'm out this way again!

    Hit or miss. If the owner (I assume he's the owner) is on the machine, the shots are well pulled and the drinks well poured. The baristas-in-training, however, are inconsistent at best.

    Super cute little coffee shop connected to some consignment shops. The workers were super friendly and attentive. The over night oats were tasty, they had a case of pasties that I did not try. They had a lot of flavors to choose from and their drip coffee tasted really smooth.

    Fun and funky shop and cafe

    Favorite coffee shop of all time! Friendly staff, tons of options, delicious drinks, eclectic and vintage atmosphere. Wander around and sift through the well organized book shop and vintage toys. We spend HOURS here. Mwaaah!

    Very cool coffee house, has a vintage clothing store, used book store and toy store attached. I had lunch and a cappuccino. Glad I found this little gem

I enjoyed winding my way through the maze of goodies. Some of the things that caught my eye were Polish pottery, pretty reusable tote bags, cheeky kitchen gadgets and funny cocktail napkins. They also had sign art, candles, throw blankets, funny socks, adult greeting cards, yard flags and air plants. It's a very eclectic mix of merchandise. The store is a bit tight in spots so I'd recommend against bringing a gaggle of people, big purse or stroller.

If he had a particularly rough night and my husband and I need a pick me up that's a bit more than our coffee at home, I'll stop in (which these days have been numerous amounts of times). They've always been so kind and accommodating and their food and drinks are always delish. Today in particular, I want to mention though. I'm clumsy on a good day. I run into everything with the stroller so I usually leave it outside and carry my son inside with me. My trusty cardboard carrier I keep in the stroller hadn't failed me yet, but I guess it had been battered and used one too many times because it gave out as I picked it up and one of my drinks went ALLLLLL over the floor. The staff rushed in to help without any sign of annoyance or frustration (which I'm sure they were feeling lol). They replaced the drink without a thought. I definitely wasn't expecting that. i feel like a mess constantly these days so it was much appreciated they made me feel like I wasn't a huge mess of an inconvenience .

They clearly pride themselves on macarons and specialty coffee drinks, rightfully so too. The drinks were very delicious! My caramel macchiato was not overly sweet, but definitely a treat. My husband loved his Cuban latte (latte with sweet and condensed milk). My son wanted to try the macarons, but the flavors were a little too wild for him like sour grape and passion fruit matcha. When I asked a local what their favorite coffee place is because there's a few on the Main Street, they said this was the place to go for a specialty coffee drink you'll only find in Berlin. However, I missed the specialty menu because it wasn't located next to the main menu. I only saw it after I ordered on the adjacent wall. I will be back, but ordering off the menu I missed next time!

Longboard Café is a convenient and lovely stop just across the main bridge into Ocean City. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center lot, plus indoor seating and a covered outdoor patio. It's a very pet-friendly, cozy place. Our server was attentive from start to finish. Rex got a bowl of water, some bacon, and even a cute bandana. That was before he managed to score a few bites of our burgers... because they're pretty big! I had the jerk mahi-mahi tacos. It was a good lunch portion. The fish was cooked a bit longer than I'd like, but it was still enjoyable. The crab cake burger was savory and delicious! The pasta salad, which is offered as a side with many of the entrees, was also excellent. Loaded with herbs, capers, and simply full of flavor. Two other burgers at our table (the Longboard Burger and the Bacon Burger) were also thoroughly enjoyed. I almost forgot... the beverages were great too. The classic margarita was awesome. Good ingredients, that splash of Grand Marnier, and not overly sweet. You might want a second... My kids had the Cosmockpolitan and the Strawberry Lemonade Crush. Both were refreshing and disappeared quickly. Between the friendly service, the good food, the excellent drinks, and the VIP treatment for Rex, we left very happy. We'll definitely be back.

Our waiter was welcoming and polite. We ordered the Mexican street corn, the warm chips with the kitchen sink, their best-seller chicken wings, and 2 burgers. I must say, EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. This restaurant is so good that our last dinner was here. That night we ordered the Bonzai chicken wings (DELICIOUS), and chicken and steak tacos. We recommend this restaurant to the fullest.

On the day I signed paperwork for my new Millsboro house in 2019 I sat alone in what was then Dagsboro Days; a few years later the spot turned into a vegan bakery, today it's Kisa (Russian for cat I'm told). We arrived on a busy morning. The place was quite active and full. We ordered a bagel, a breakfast sandwich, latte and tea. Had a very pleasant breakfast. My latte was nice and strong the way I like it and the sandwich "Breakfast Delight" was excellent--egg, tomato, lettuce, guacamole on rustic bread. Very fresh and flavorful. My only concern here is service. Everyone can have a bad day or respond to stress in different ways but this morning our server was quite brusque to the point of rudeness. As I myself work in a service type of job, I get it; sometimes it gets a little much. So on subsequent trips there I'll see if the engagement differs and file an update. Meanwhile sit back and enjoy the many interesting things you'll see at Kisa including a cloudy sculpture that lends the entire affair some whimsy.
