    Stopped in and the place is packed. The line moved really quickly and there was a place to sit so we stayed. The chai was a tad.. stringent today, but still good. We really enjoyed the he lemon ricotta waffles. We think we like Drip as the flavors are good and not too sweet. Some places pack on the sugar instead of flavor, but not Drip. Always a favorite!

    Small oatmilk latte

    I've wanted to try this place for so long, and honestly it was different than I had expected. I initially thought Drip Cafe was more of a coffee based place, but I was surprised to find that there's an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. While I didn't get any food, the options did sound very appealing. I ordered a small oatmilk latte, which shouldn't have been a difficult request, but it took about 15 minutes until it was made. I understand they were busy, but it was just a drink. As someone who used to be a barista, I know all too well how hectic the job can be. But a latte should take about a minute to make in total. Overall the atmosphere was very nice. Well decorated and idyllic. My latte was very good and they have a cute little station to add sugars and your choices of milk/creamer.

    Loved it. Large coffee shop with brunch all day. They also have pour over coffee in addition to espresso drinks. My only wish was for some additional non-breakfast dishes-- as I was there at 4pm--most were the traditional sweet or egg-based brunch flavors. The combinations of some of the dishes were really creative-- for example, I had the egg cheesesteak wrap. Their french fries and roasted potatoes were from excellent quality potatoes. Definitely modern cuisine.

    We traveled over to Drip today for lunch! This is an order and seat yourself/takeout kind of place. We ordered and sat down in a booth and they brought over our coffees. They website has a coffee stout that we wanted to try but we didn't see it on their menu or menu board unfortunately. Once we sat down we waited approx 35 minutes for our food which was unfortunate. We ordered 2 pancakes, the chorizo burrito, and the Florentine sandwich. They have food runners to bring out your food to the corresponding character they assign you (we had Elvis). Once the food did come the Florentine sandwich was cold and my pancakes were a bit dark on the underside. But we were starving so we ate it anyway. You can tell it's all fresh but the food was not worth a 35 min wait, especially because we didn't order sides. Maybe this is more of a to-go place.

    Amazing! Stupendous! Splendiferous!! Hands down one of the best places to have a mea in Delaware. Tucked away in Hockessin, this gem has recently expanded to match its growing clientele. The price is right, the service is always accessible and attentive, and the food is spectacular from the unique ingredients to the memorable tastes. Eileen and I will always come back. We recommend this location because I know another one opened up in Newark... If you like good coffee, great food, and a comfortable family-friendly vibe, I suggest you try The Drip Cafe out. #HastyFoodie

    Food is still delicious and the coffee is still some of the best. I took away 2 stars though. Why? I know this virus has changed the world, but I wasn't satisfied with the service. I sat down and tipped like sit down, but was attended to like takeout. Self serve water. Never offered a refill on my coffee. Nobody ever once came to ask how everything was or if I wanted a refill. I won't fully give up on this place because I know we're in difficult times. I'll revisit when the apocalypse is over

    Caramel apple pancakes
    Holly B.

    Sooo good! Came into Drip for the first time this morning. We ordered within a couple minutes of walking in and were able to snag a booth in the back. My son had a waffle, my husband the hash and I had the bacon caramel apple pancakes. My son and I both had London fog latte's and my husband had a chai latte. All of the drinks were really good. My husband really enjoyed his hash, though thought he could've gone without the bbq sauce on it. My son ate his entire waffle so that's always a good sign. And my pancakes were AMAZING!! Can't wait to return and try bananas foster French toast.

    Great food. Great service. Prices are the cheapest around. Have been patronizing the cafe for 13 years now, ever since it opened. Recommend this spot to all!

    Chicken Waldorf salad
    Kim K.

    I have been here twice now and have really enjoyed it. The menu is small but consistent and delicious. I have gotten the house salad, but being vegetarian, I substitute their marinated tofu for the usual turkey. It is wonderful! The perfect mixture of flavors and textures. The staff is friendly and professional and everything is clean and organized. My only wish is that they had a few more options for kids. There is lots of parking and delicious baked goods. I am looking forward to visiting again.

    See all

    Went there for the first time yesterday. The ambiance is light and cheery. The person at the…read morecounter was welcoming and very patient. Lol. It took us a long time to order because there were so many things that looked amazing. A regular customer highly recommended the chicken Caesar salad. We gave in to our cravings and ended up trying the bacun mushroom Swiss burger, the save the ocean fish sandwich, the daily deluxe chicken sandwich and the island breeze smoothie. We totally enjoyed everything and would def have them again. The fish and chicken tasted like fish and chicken. Haha. The burger did not taste exactly like meat but had a meat-like texture and was still a tasty burger that I will order again. The buns and veggies were very fresh, the cheese on the burger was melty and delicious and the sauces/aiolis were perfect. My only tiny ding would be that the fries portion should be larger for the price. But I'll still give them a '5' and we will go back to try the salad, the cheesesteak sandwich, and maybe a couple of their tempting baked goods. Just FYI, there was another group of first-timers that came in right behind us (vegans and non-vegans). They loved their food, too!

    I visited this place for the first time today. I asked the nice person behind the counter what was…read morerecommended. She said the Santa Fe chicken. I ordered it- it was pretty good, but I would not get it again. If I was in the area, I probably would try this restaurant again and order a hamburger. The restaurant was clean.
