Little did I know how incredibly delicious and awesome this lil' gem of a restaurant is!!! My family and I are sort of foodies so it takes a lot to impress us but we def were! I appreciate their health conscious approach like using avocado oil, and making all their dressings from scratch, even their mayonnaise, and offering lo-carb wraps at no extra charge. All of our food was delicious and flavorful, esp the carrot cale which speaks for itself!! The owner Darren literally walks around greeting customers at their tables, helping out the staff and making sure everyone is pleased with their meal. He told me that their pancake recipe has been in his family for 10 generations, right after getting us to-go boxes. My only complaint is that they arent located closer to my home and that i have to wait a whole year to go back!!!! This place is a must for breakfast/brunch/lunch and has earned a permanent spot our annual beach week trip!!

We have not been here in awhile. I still had one of their gift cards so we decided to eat here on Cinco De Mayo, because as I mentioned they always decorate the restaurant for every holiday. We waited about 15 minutes for the last table 41 on the right nearest to the bar to become available. I started with my two margaritas with salt for $7 each. The ambient noise here is very loud when it is this crowded. I also enjoyed my chicken and chorizo poblano skillet with chicken tingo, chorizo, poblanos and onions over Spanish rice with queso and cilantro-lime crema served with a guac salad and tortillas for $23. It was served on a hot cast iron skillet. When served my dish looked different from what was on their website. It looks like they topped the dish with queso and cilantro crema. I would have preferred what was on their website without the queso and cilantro crema on top. There might be a disconnect between the website and the kitchen. Anyway my dish was different from the normal. There was a lot of food to eat. I ate half and also took half of the skillet, the guac salad and tortillas home for my late night snack and tomorrow's lunch. Arissa served us very well. Our total bill was $77 excluding gratuity.

We were here in March on a Sunday at 2 PM for happy hour at the bar with our friends. We were able to get 5 bar stools in a row. The bar area is relatively unchanged except for some new paint, however the two adjacent dining areas to the left and right of the bar were totally renovated and painted white with a much cleaner and brighter appearance. I enjoyed my usual 2 rum punches for $10 each and my usual happy hour broiled blackened flounder fish sandwich with tomato, red onion, lettuce, french fries, cole slaw and tartar sauce for $12. I opted for their hot sauce on my flounder and french fries. Bartender Andrea F. served us very well as usual. Consistency is a character of this restaurant. My total bill was $77 excluding gratuity. We agreed we will continue to return here for happy hour.

Food was very bland/lacked seasoning. I was charged $2.50 for pre-packaged guacamole and food came with canned salsa as well. The food has the potential to be much better if the pre-packaged ingredients were swapped for fresher options. The pop tarts were great, we tried gluten free lemon and regular cherry. The gluten free pop tarts were in separate packaging and placed on the top rack of the bakery case which is great for minimizing cross contamination. The cherry pop tart (not gluten free) had full cherries in it. Both pastries had some serious weight to them and were quite large. I think the food is a bit overpriced for what you actually get. Pastries are great and I was excited to see gluten free options available!

March 2026 Review for the NEW Fabulous Lounge!…read more Bethany Beach, Ocean View, & Millville has a wonderful NEW coffee lounge and lunch spot! But it's also not so new since it's the same wonderful place we all fell in love with years ago just now bigger. If you want to see how much I love this place, Kristina & Sean, and learn more about this amazing restaurant, plus all they do for the community, skip and read below my review from 2023 for the old location. It's a heartfelt unsolicited freakin novel! But this review is for the NEW LOUNGE space just added. I'm obsessed. Love a cozy living room? How about one that's tucked away almost like a speakeasy? Want fireplace vibes? Fluffy cushions, comfy chairs and couches? Places to put down your mug and put up your feet? Check, check, and check! ALL the checks. Same great food & same great service. My girlfriends and I like to gather monthly in the mornings for coffee to celebrate our birthdays. It's not always easy to find a large enough areas to seat our 8+ group but this lounge is perfect! I sometimes order ahead with the TOAST app so that if there's a line my Latte is ready and paid for. My friend ML is gluten free and swears by Kristina's GF home made pop tarts. The pictures say it all - the vibe is sick! Which is young speak for adorably cozy, comfy, and cool! Another great reason to visit this landmark location for our neighborhood bliss! ---Review from 2023 -- Old Location -- Same Lovely Goodness--- Kristina's Kitchen​ just a mile from Bethany Beach isn't just an amazing Award Winning Best of Delaware full service delicious take-out cafe with many healthy and decadent options but they are also a vibrant and committed community member! ​ From breakfast to baked goods.

On a personal note, during the pandemic​, I was so anxious to go out, that I counted on Kristina's Kitchen and her ​kind husband Sean to deliver delicious meals to my door that lasted me a whole week. I've ​also been a fan of Kristina since 2014, being just a little obsessed with her Body & Soul Wellness Center and Smoothie Shop​ in Bethany Beach. When she evolved into her heart's desire and opened Kristina's Kitchen​, it seemed to be a realization of all her dreams and utilizing all her many talents. She, Sean, and their staff, are also just wonderful people. Kristina's Kitchen is tucked away next to Lord's Landscaping, behind Lord's Mercantile, and across​ the street from the Giant in Millville. Easy to find - hard to give up. I might not order from them every week like I did during COVID​, but they have a special place in my heart and are at the top of my Recommended ​List for anyone who is looking for wholesome and delicious delights here at the beach. I am not related to them, they didn't pay me for this review, and I swear I don't stalk them​ on Instagram......anymore.

The coffee itself was just average at best, especially considering the high prices. I don't mind paying more for a great cup of coffee, but this didn't live up to the cost. Unfortunately, the ambiance was lacking as well. It didn't feel warm, inviting, or like a place you'd want to linger. Overall, there just wasn't much that would make me want to return.

They ordered strawberry shortcake matchas and iced vanilla milks and specified for the woman taking their orders exactly how many vanilla pumps they wanted and what type of milk alternatives to request. The barrista took their orders like they were adults (while eying me to make sure this was all ok). We also got 2 pastries to split. We got some kind of coffee cake and a chocolate chip muffin. I didn't get to try either as the boys wolfed them down and left a mess of crumbs bc they aren't actually as bougie as their orders. (sorry about the crumbs if you are reading this, Clove and Cedar). The little boys said it was the best matcha they ever had - and apparently they are experts. hahahaha. I am in Lower DE every week and had completely given up trying to find a decent matcha here bc every place I've tried just sucked. When I saw the color of the dark green matcha at Clove and Cedar, I knew immediately it was going to taste great. I got the Ube Vanilla Matcha and it was perfecto!!! Honestly, I can't even explain how excited I am that I found this great place. I wish it was closer to Dewey or Rehoboth as there is nothing up here like it. I def will make the drive again to Bethany soon!!!
