    The food was very fresh and the bagel was fluffy. Unfortunately, the coffee lacked flavor, and the mocha tasted like watered down hot chocolate. The staff were not very friendly. That said, it's clear the locals really enjoy this place, people were chatting and having a good time, which gave the café a pleasant atmosphere.

    Order here first.

    Cute and cozy space for lunch in downtown Lewes! My family stopped here in late December 2024 for a quick bite to eat. We enjoyed a simple soup (chicken noodle) and salad which was a light, healthy meal. Be sure to ask about the daily soup option if it's a cold day! For service, you order at the window and pay first (cafeteria style), and then sit down at an open table. One downside during the colder months is the limited seating indoors (better for couples or small groups). On rainy or cold days, I would recommend visiting during non-peak times if you prefer to sit inside. The location is tucked just behind the Main Street - but it's a stone's throw from St. Peter's Church (which has an old historic cemetery) that is easily visible and close to the Biblion Used Book Store. You can Google Map the location or ask someone to help you find it.

    This is a comfortable, friendly spot to have a nice breakfast or lunch. The service is excellent as is the food. When you walk down Market Street from 2nd Street you must turn around to see the store.

    Very cute place to stop. Had a long menu of different drinks and food. I got a matcha boba tea with almond milk and strawberry boba and it was delicious. The service was fast even tho they were busy. The inside is alittle small but definitely worth it. They do have seating outside so it isn't as crowded inside. Will definitely stop again.

    Iced cappuccino

    I love this cozy little coffee spot! I came here twice during my stay in Lewes because the coffee is so good! I ordered my usual iced cappuccino which I love that they're able to make, not all places will accommodate. This is the best coffee in town!

    Turkey Sandwich on cranberry bread!!

    Small place. Fabulous service and good. Open for breakfast and lunch. Food gorgeous and delicious!!

    Cozy sunlit seating

    Picture perfect breakfast nook that packs a punch with a tasty menu of breakfast fare and beverages. I was pleasantly surprised by both the menu range and seating offered by this petite place. The customizable breakfast sandwich is top notch: your choice of bread and cheese, and there's also meat options to add to eggs. The coffee is also excellent, and there is a small selection of bakery pastries. If you don't take your food to go, there are a few small tables inside and a bench outside, plus a small park gazebo surrounded by flowers across the parking lot. The line can build quickly but the staff are efficient and we didn't wait too long on either of our visits.

    Fruit smoothie
    Kimberly A.

    Super cozy spot for coffee, bfast or lunch. Inside was very clean and farmhouse feel. The menu had a nice variety of high end and quality ingredients. I tried the smoothie and it was pretty good. I'd like return to try their salads.

    Frozen lavender lemonade
    Lana S.

    Came here for lunch before heading to Cape Henlopen :) due to Covid 19 we could only do take out. The inside looked very nice and cute! I got the salmon BLT and a frozen lavender lemonade. The salmon BLT was delicious. Plenty of smoked salmon and fresh veggies. I wish there was a little more garlic aioli on the sandwich but it was still pretty good! The frozen lavender lemonade was refreshing and tart. It went well with my sandwich :) loved it! I would def. Come back next time I'm Lewes for lunch!

    bacon egg and provolone on a gluten free roll

    really cute place, they did have gluten free rolls for my bec which was amazing (so much better than most gf bread). coffee is also good!

    Olive & Oats delicious baked oatmeal & cold brew coffee.
    Karen G.

    Delicious food, friendly service, short wait time - the only difficulty is what to choose! I highly recommend the baked oatmeal w/ berries & steamed milk as well as the egg, Gruyère, & ham sandwich. Thanks for having gluten free bread guys!

    We brought friends to the Harbour Restaurant last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server,…read moreRyan was friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came over and checked on us twice. I two of us had the salmon, my husband had the scallop and raved about the sauce. The lobster was fresh and tender. Salads were fresh and beautifully presented. Lovely setting and view. We will definitely return soon.

    Steak and Cake Special with a Canal View…read more Tried Harbor in Lewes, Delaware, located right along the canal in the downtown district, and it definitely leans toward the upscale side of dining in town. As soon as you walk in, you can feel that polished, higher end atmosphere, and the canal views make for a really nice setting. I went during the off season in early March and caught their Wednesday night Steak and Cake special. For $36 you get a six ounce filet mignon, a crab cake, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a Caesar salad. For a restaurant of this caliber, that's a pretty solid deal. The Caesar salad came out fresh and crisp, and for the first time ever I noticed something you rarely see anymore -- two small sardine strips on top, which is actually the traditional way to serve a true Caesar. The entree was nicely plated. The filet was ordered medium. Parts of it were cooked perfectly and very tender, though a couple bites were a little chewy. The crab cake was the highlight. Very meaty with minimal filler, which is exactly what you want this close to the Delaware coast. Mashed potatoes had that homemade style with a few lumps. Some people love that rustic feel, though I personally prefer them a little smoother. The green beans were simply steamed but had great flavor. Service was excellent. My waitress Kim was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept, including the restrooms. Overall, a very enjoyable meal with great flavor across the board. I'd definitely come back and would be curious to see what the atmosphere is like here during the busy summer season.

They focus on "whimsical dining" here and it just really shows as a through line through the whole dining experience. We started dinner with two cocktails, they made my extra dirty gin martini beautifully! And it was ice ice cold. My fiancé had their Hoagie-hattan and he really enjoyed it! We had the cheese platter and escargot for our appetizers, the escargot was definitely the star here. So garlicky and warm. Absolutely delicious. I had the lobster ravioli and he had the short ribs. Both were absolutely DELICIOUS. The ribs were fork tender and the ravioli were packed with seafood flavor. Definitely a must try in downtown Lewes!

None are as good as the original. The escargot were very de pod of garlic. Even trying to taste the for garlic it only tasted of parsley. This is a basic fail! Sorry nice half the year in France. I have never had escargot served this way. The chef is supposedly from nice. I had the hangar steak. And frites. It was good to excellent and $45. A little pricey for a hangar steak but it was copious and I took it home. So I guess that gets a good to excellent but expensive. My two colleagues both hotter short ribs. They were moist and small and surrounded by celeriac purée. The wine was expensive at $16 a glass. So $48 for three large glasses. All in all an ok meal but it cost over $200. I say go get a steak at rare or 1776 or harvest tides. Service was excellent. Ambiance was charming.
