This was such an amazing experience! I went on a Saturday around 1pm and there were plenty of places to sit. You can choose to sit in a variety of rooms for whatever vibe you’re feeling. I ordered an espresso martini and it was one of the best I’ve had. I ordered the egg sandwich that came with fruit. It was so fresh, tasted amazing and I’d get it again and again. I also had the lavender lemon drop, yum! Don’t skip this place or this town. Hands down best cocktails! Dwayne and his crew have something special here!

We happened upon this gem on our way home from Wilmington. New Castle is an adorable little town and this place was amazing! As a vegetarian it’s hard to find decent options and this unique spot had it ALL! Back patio was quiet and relaxing, ordering was easy with the QR code. I thoroughly enjoyed the Vegetarian Gyro (tzatziki was on point!) and my bf enjoyed the egg salad. We both thought the tomato soup was delicious. We finished off with the lava cake and lattes. The coffees were perfect and the cake was a great size to split-all delicious. Highly recommend and we will be back.

This place is one of my favorite places to go to. I come here often and highly recomend you do too. All the staff is extremely delightful and friendly. The atmosphere is so welcoming and calming. It's a perfect place to eat and enjoy yourself. The food is always amazing here. I have tried everything on the menu. All the food from the appetizers, salads, main courses, to the desserts are all high quailty. The drinks are also in that same category. The teas are amazing as well as the mixed drinks. They are an amazing small buissness to support with showcasing local artist. The artwork there is changed out frequently and beautiful. The events they host are also well put together and very enjoyable. Everything here is overwhemingly amazing and highly enjoyable. It's one of the best hidden gems in New Castle!
