This is a locals spot... so if you aren't local or haven't been local, you might not get it... However, my two friends and I stopped in over this past weekend, and had an awesome meal. I got the soup with a spinach and feta pastry- it came with homemade bread, and the pastry was a stuffed croissant- AMAZING. It was incredibly filling and very affordable. Plus, the folks that run it are super nice. They whipped out an old school Ikea high chair for my kid (it looked a little rickety but it worked) and they even put her in there for me :) The gentleman asked me if it was ok, and said he had four kids of his own- that makes me better qualified than me :) I felt like I was at home with family. The total tab for three people for lunch was under $30 (which you can't beat) but they don't take cards, so be sure to bring cash. Oh, and you can bring home bread. SCORE. read more

Waited 45 minutes for food, during which time two other tables were fully served / paid. After 30 minutes the waitress came back to confirm our dish selection. Food was okay but service unfortunately ruined the overall experience read more

You want to talk eclectic! This is a very interesting place to sit and listen to the local color. All sorts in here. Owners are very pleasant and def a bit hippie. Nice spot for lunch and a show. read more

Lovey meal. Lovely owners. Lovely location. Granola and yogurt with beautifully arranged ripe fruit. Everything fresh and lovingly prepared. Sitting outside protected from cool rain. Private and intimate. Just right! Thanks for a great weekday breakfast Duck Soup! We'll be back. Glad we are locals!! read more

My fiance and I took a trip to New Hope to get away from New York City for a weekend, and we tried this place out for lunch. Its a cute little cafe with a very cozy atmosphere. The owner was also extremely cool and after we ate chatted with us about the area, gave us the scoop on what restaurants to try, etc. But most importantly, the food we had was delicious! You should definitely check this spot out if you are in the area and want a good brunch/lunch. We will be back the next time we visit New Hope! read more

For those people that didn't like the food, there is something wrong with you. Everything I had was amazing! I order the Oh La La chicken and bacon sandwich and it was unreal. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the side of potato salad was possibly the best I've ever had. I rarely rave about food, as I'm the son of a chef, but god damn it was good. Also, it is cash only. read more

What a charming little place tucked away in Logan Square. If we hadn't found it beforehand and planned to eat here, I'm not sure I would ever have seen it. There are two entrances. One is in the back of Logan Square and has a parking lot (with a one-hour limit, though I'm not sure how strictly it's enforced). This entrance is by the bathrooms and I would consider it the back of the restaurant. The other entrance can be reached by walking through Logan Square and taking some stairs. This entrance is where the counter is. Upon entering, feel free to grab a menu from the counter and seat yourself. Don't ignore the board of specials on the wall, either (though it's a little difficult to make sense of). Our friendly waitress said you can't go wrong when ordering, so my mom got the eggs florentine (eggs Benedict with spinach instead of ham), I ordered the homemade roast beef sandwich on French bread (because their French bread is homemade and I love good bread), and we got a plate of pancakes to share. While you wait for your food, take in the cozy surroundings--shelves lined with who-knows-what-exactly (I saw drinking glasses and little packs of napkins?), walls covered with photographs, the regulars (whose names and orders the waitress already knows). The seating area is quite small--two tables for two, about four or five tables for four, and one table for six. When your food arrives (in a timely fashion), dig in! First the blueberry pancakes. There were three on the plate and a few slices of butter, with a jar of maple syrup in the table. They were delicious--my mom and I managed to polish them all off. My only complaint is that one side of one pancake was rather burnt. But they were thick, almost crispy on the outside, and delightfully fluffy. The blueberries just squirted summery goodness into my mouth. My roast beef sandwich was also good. The French bread was amazing--a crisp crust and soft insides. Yum! It had mayo, tomato, and field greens The beef was a little red for my well-done preferences, and the mayo too much (but I usually eat sandwiches dry). These are very minor complaints, though. The sandwich was average, but the bread made it amazing. It was served with homemade potato salad, which I enjoyed. My mom's eggs florentine was quite good as well. She liked that the homemade sauce was not overly salty, as that is her main complaint about eggs Benedict. She said she enjoyed the English muffin, but I don't think anything can top that bread. Payment is cash or check. Be waved out the door with contentment and happiness and a full stomach, and resolve to return soon! read more

See all

Every single thing I've ever eaten here was amazing. HOWEVER, the croissant French toast was made by a deity, I'm convinced. You will never think of French toast the same way ever again. The server and cook are charming. The omelettes are customizable. Cute, hole in the wall type of place. Love. read more

Went here on a random Yelp search and found this place to be delightful. They actually had a couple of organic options which made my day. If they continue to have organic as an option, I will come back. Family owned and nice people who make the food fresh to order. Real nice! read more

Duck Soup Cafe - Nice cosy, local spot. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

A true hidden gem. I've driven by dozens of times without ever realizing it was there. This mom and pop diner exudes charm and character. A very pleasant warm atmosphere with options for both indoor and outside seating. What's most impressive is the food, though! Forget your ordinary, uninspiring diner fare - here you will find great coffee and an outstanding menu of breakfast and lunch items and great seasonal specials like peach pancakes, all cooked to absolute perfection. We went as a party of seven (five adults, two kids) and everyone loved their food (even the kids, who are horribly picky eaters). We will be back for sure, probably on a very regular basis! read more

The is a delightful place to eat! Their food is absolutely yummy and the atmostphere is like your in someone's sweet kitchen, unless you sit outside, which feels like you're in a French cafe. Their Fabulous French toast is a must! read more

Duck Soup Cafe is adorable and delicious. Highly recommended. We ate the BLT, tuna with curry Mayo, asparagus omelette, and items for kids. All were great. read more

We love this place. It is low key with freshly made, delicious food, their coffee is great and the owners are lovely and accomodating. It has been hot or raining when we have been there so we haven't sat in their little outdoor seating area but its really cute with pockets of flowers and little bistro tables. Yes, cash only, which I forgot when I arrived there today but there is an ATM across the courtyard. We have never encountered a dud meal there, but their peach pancakes are just awesome! read more

A gem! Friendly patrons; nice atmosphere; some creative touches to the food without being pretentious; a real delight that we found by local word of mouth. Richard S read more

Great little family owned cafe. Owners and staff show genuine concern that you are enjoying your meal. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. read more

Cozy and warm hidden gem. My fiancé and I came here Christmas week and were surprised to find a breakfast spot that wasn't crowded and would accommodate us with our baby. The food was fresh, we ordered blueberry pancakes, French toast and eggs with toast and home fries. Both of the cafes employees were very friendly and welcoming. We will stop by again next time we visit New Hope! read more

What a delight to join Carla for a delicious healthy lunch today. The fresh wild salmon salad was fantastic on this first day of spring. Her lemon bars are the best I have ever had so much pure fresh lemon flavor. My sister had the quoina cakes and they were amazing and healthy. I really love the place and hope to return to try the omlettes and quiches. read more

You'll feel right at home in this cozy cafe featuring delicious, homemade food and baked goods by Carla. The food is always fresh and tasty and the service is great. Open for breakfast and lunch on Tues-Sun and for dinner on Fridays. Treat yourself to some homemade yumminess! (BYOB!) read more

Duck Soup is most definitely OPEN!! Don't know who/how YELP notice was posted that they were closed - competitor perhaps?? Give 'em a try - food is delish, service is friendly, vibe is fun! read more

Just discovered this hidden little gem and absolutely love it! A nice cozy feel to it, with mis-matched mugs and floral table clothes, and each table gets a cute little lamp. Everytime we go in, I look forward to seeing what cute little mug I will get. I have only ever gotten the pancakes and home fries, and they are amazing. They always have fun, different pancake specials on the board. Once "Pumpkin pancakes" and "apple pancakes" were on the menu and I couldnt decide between the two, so the owner mixed them together for me :) Very friendly vibe, and resonably priced. The quality of food is good, and has a nice home made feel to it. The amount of food you get leaves you feeling full, but not hating yourself-full. read more

The food is great and wonderful atmosphere great coffee too. There's art on the walls and French decor. We love this place

i've been here for breakfast twice, and while duck soup is cozy and cute and the service is REALLY friendly and fast, i have to disagree with the people here that rave about the food. nothing i've eaten here has been memorable. today i had the waffles with strawberries, and not only did they not taste good, they tasted...funny. i also ordered the homefries which were so undercooked, they were inedible. the last time i was here, i ordered the french toast, which i will say was tasty, but this brings me to my next point: the portions here are small. not "european", just small. for two people to order breakfast and coffee, it cost nearly $30, and to leave hungry makes me an unsatisfied customer. we gave you a fair chance, duck soup, but i doubt we'll be back. read more

The four of us will never waste our time with this place because they obviously don't care about their customers. When we finally got there, it was closed. We traveled quite a distance to eat breakfast at Duck Soup based on reviews and hours on website. We also kept trying to call to make sure it was open, but got the message that the voicemail was full and couldn't leave a message. We saw a woman inside and knocked on the door. She opened it but did not come out. She said that it was her daughter's wedding and the place was closed. Okay, that would be fine if they had let people know. One of us asked her why she didn't clear her voicemail messages and put that on her answering machine so we wouldn't have wasted our time. She then slammed the door in our faces. Go to Fred's which is where we went instead and had a great breakfast with friendly faces. read more

Had breakfast here --salmon benedict--it tasted funny and was I sick as a dog several hours later. The side order of home fried potatoes was just a few slices--when I complained I was told she cooks only 1 potatoe per serving.?? My wife's eggs benedict were very under cooked when ordered medium. She reordered and when the 2nd. order came out they were cold and 20 minutes later. She complained they too tasted odd. My cup of tea refill was about a half cup of water at that. The $35 bill for 2 egg orders, a potatoe and tea and coffee is outrageous. We live here in New Hope and would not go back. When it was brought to the owner's attention about the cold meal and half cup of tea, etc. he argued with me about not being able to please me--ugh!! They just don't get it. Too bad. read more

I'm giving this place five stars because the lunch that my friend and I had last week was not only delicious but fresh. I tried their quiche and it lived up to the way it looked, yummy. I'm a visual person. I usually can judge food by the way it looks and this time I was right. Next time I will try the pancakes or omelette. Actually I'm going back there again this weekend. read more

Carla and Leno are a husband and wife team who run this gem of a restaurant. They greet you like family and the atmosphere is very cozy French country. There is also a quaint and quiet outdoor garden with seating. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner with only the freshest ingredients at very reasonable prices. Carla aims to support local farms as much as possible and the result is dishes with incredible flavor. My favorites are her soups and the fish tacos. Make sure to try any baked pastry she makes; pure heaven. read more

Destined to be a local favorite away from the tourist food of New Hope proper. French inspired homemade food with limited seating, menu and hours. Food was excellent we tried eat in and take out. Owner/chef really cares about her food and customers. Its a little difficult to find, upper deck of Logan Square but there is also a back entrance and parking lot. Enter Square and hang a left by the empty radio shack. I understood there is a handicap ramp there as well. I would call first if thats a concern. Kid friendly, I don't know, I didn't see any while there or a childs menu. Every table was occupied and voice levels were very respectful. There are tables outside in warmer weather but now lack a good cleaning. read more

Duck Soup Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

One of my favorite places for breakfast and lunch. Friendly staff, good, fresh food and their iced coffee is outstanding. I just wish it was closer yo home. read more

We are regulars at this little hidden gem of a restaurant. Food is so fresh, well done with amazingly simple and expensive ingredients... Mostly French, great breakfast and lunch. Owner is the chef and her husband is the waiter... They are very friendly... If you are looking for a warm, family owned bistro this is your place! read more

Delicious food in a very small, casual cafe style establishment. I've been eating here for years with girlfriends for lunch, or sometimes by myself when I want a nice lunch and no one is available to join me. The warm French bread is great with the soups, salads or quiches served daily. The coffee and iced tea are brewed with love! The last lunch I had was a shrimp and corn chowder, followed by a mushroom and cheese quiche. Yum. read more

Eggs Benedict was ok. Bread used was a tough to cut through - small bagel? Nothing else was served on the plate. My kids enjoyed their animal shaped pancakes. The price was high for the little food you are given. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely. Small but warm. We were there for a Saturday, not many patrons. When we received the bill, expensive for the little food you are given. CASH ONLY. Service was excellent. This restaurant could be so much more if they would give a little more. read more

Excellent breakfast spot! What an inspired idea....Salmon Benedict....and it was perfection. Portion was the perfect size, coffee was good but not great...no complaint there, certainly it was quite acceptable. The chocolate chip cookie I got to take home was really terrific, left me wanting more. I would surely dine here again if I'm in the area. A little hard to find, not too bad.....worth the trouble for sure. read more

The best breakfast/lunch place in the area hands down. The service, ingredients and food preparation are a cut above any other spot in the area. Well worth the extra few minutes wait for food that's always freshly made. read more

I'm almost hesitant to review this place because I want it to stay quiet -- but I also want to see them succeed, so here I go. Long story short, food is tasty and creative, and the owners and staff are fantastic. This is THE spot for a late and leisurely Sunday morning brunch -- way more charming than anything I've found on Main Street in New Hope. I know they do dinner one night a week -- need to get there one of these days... read more

Had a wonderful breakfast at Duck Soup! Even my fussy husband loved it. The restaurant is clean and cozy...very nice. Don't let the entrance ( which needs work) fool you ...the inside is nice and as stated our food was great. Heads up...it is a cash or check only place. We will return to try their lunch!!! And we will be telling our friends about this nice little restaurant. read more

My husband and I checked this local place out based on the good reviews on Yelp but our experience was completely different than most. We were quickly seated and waited on but it took about 35-40 minutes for the food to arrive even though the place was not particularly crowded. Both of our omelets were not very good and the side of bread was still slightly frozen inside. We will stick to getting breakfast at Via Ponte in Stockton, NJ instead! read more

One of my new favorite spots for breakfast and lunch. Homemade breads and wonderful omelettes. My boyfriend and I stayed in New Hope for a few days. We ate breakfast there nearly every day. Definitely going back on our next visit! Friendly and exceptional service. read more

Excellent place for breakfast in the New Hope area. We ate here twice during our last visit. Real home made bread. The quiche is outstanding! read more

Having been coming for a few years and still love it. The owners work really hard and put everything in to this place and shows in the consistently good food they serve. I often bring friend and colleagues and all enjoy. Can't go wrong in my opinion. Just remember- cash only - pain but there you go. read more

This place is god awful. Three of us went to lunch, ordered soup and a few sandwiches. Soup was water with a few veggies in it, warm, tasteless and it was 5$ a pop for a ladle full. Sandwich came completely burnt, cheese and chicken were disgusting and the roll looked like a black shingle. 3 of us ate for 40$ including tax. This was the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at in my life. read more
