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.

The highlights were a delicious beat and burrata salad, a lovely cheese board, and bangin' bread with whipped butter. We had mixed feelings about everything else. I liked the lobster roll but my companion was not impressed. The truffle cheese fries had unmelted shredded cheese on top; I have to believe someone forgot to put them under the broiler. I liked the quinoa fritters (they had a falafel-like herbaceousness), but my companion said they tasted like nothing. My companion liked the short ribs: I thought the meat was yummy but wasn't into the carrots or the gnocchi. (Dear chef, consider serving the short ribs with the truffle cheese fries; that would be an amazing combo if the cheese were melted.) Lastly, my English Garden cocktail was a little weird, like a cucumber bellini. I was expecting something else, I guess. I could be persuaded to try it again, though. In spite of the criticisms, a good meal and good experience. Would absolutely go back. Their brunch is also recommended.

We made the reservations for happy hour specifically to sit outside and listen to the live music. When we arrived, even though we had reservations for their happy hour, we were told there were no places outside and they wouldn't even honor their happy hour menu inside. They later came back after realizing they were in the wrong and said they would honor the drink prices but not the appetizers on the happy hour menu. We saw an empty high top table with no chairs outside that we would have stood at, but that wasn't even an option. Instead, we were told we could purchase drinks and walk around outside. Since we were there for a birthday (indicated on the reservation), this was upsetting. We left and found a nearby restaurant with delicious food and all-day happy hour nearby.

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.

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 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!
