The Perfect Cup Cafe

Out of all the fast/casual establishments I know, Perfect Cup is my absolute favorite. Everything is from the freshest ingredients and they support local farmers/growers by purchasing produce from local farms and coffee is fairly traded so you know you are getting the best possible all while supporting small, local companies around the DE/PA area! I currently live far away and havent been "home" in a while, but on a regular basis I crave their cooking!

Such a great cafe. All the food is so good, and fresh! The employees are all so nice! Give this place a try for breakfast or lunch, anything you get will be delicious!!

Good home-made food, especially for breakfast. However, when inquired about oatmeal, it comes out of a packet. Oatmeal is cheap and easy to keep and make in a crockpot. I would recommend that they do that. The breakfast burrito with swiss and basil was excellent; fresh, and hot with the cheese melted throughout. Fresh garden veggies on top. A short coffee in a mug looks like more and served in a euro-style ceramic cup than the paper cup, so I was happy with that. The hash browns were very good but had the artificial aftertaste of margarine, so I would change that to regular canola oil or even olive oil would make it stand out without the aftertaste. The turkey sausage patties were an excellent brand.
There are not enough places to sit without sharing. Two women were holding seats with their coats and one couple with a baby and a toddler took up a table for 6, by spreading their gear everywhere! We ended up sitting with a very cordial senior couple. So, we ended up making some new friends.
Also, our small order took 20 mins. to make;that did not include the drinks order. Browns, sausage,and eggs should be ready to go on the griddle. The baristas were very quick with coffee and juice though.
I would highly recommend Perfect Cup, since a decent non-chain restaurant/café is very difficult to find in Delaware. Their price points are really doable for anyone. However, just be prepared to wait (I have been other days and times not busy and still slow) and to share a table on the weekends with new folks!

Every single time I go in here the "chef" is yelling at one of her workers. Every. Single. Time. She particularly picks on this one kid who is, I think, a cook. She just stands there and berates him in front of the staff and the kid suffers through it like a sad puppy saying "Yes chef. I'm sorry chef."

Food is ok, coffee is alright I guess, but I just can't support someone who is that vile to another human being in front of other human beings. I *want* this to be my cozy little coffee shop, where I'm a regular and everyone is cool to talk with. Instead, I have to worry about my order contributing to someone making a mistake and having to sit there and watch this "chef" rip into someone who probably desperately needs that paycheck.

Take an anger management class or, for the love of the community, sell your role in the company and let someone with a heart run the place.

Wonderful customer service, and the food is wonderful too. The family is so nice and kind, and put in a lot of work in the cafe. It is really cute and would definitely recommend.

Had to wait for my breakfast, new staff/new owners, still learning. But when i brought it to their attention it was handled properly. The breakfast was good. It's expensive, you're in Hockessin.

We saw this place as we were passing by and was hoping to get an average cup of coffee. Once inside I was intreged by the selection of deserts!!! My wife and I decided to split a BLT and one of the raspberry and lemon treasures.. and two very large mugs of delious coffe... Big mistake ! . We deceided to eat the desert while waiting for our BLT and soon realized that this was not just a good desert.. it was absolutely shocking.. my wife and I looked at each other with the realation that we would be fighting each other over each bite. The fork cut easily into the creamy top and parted the desert through it's rasberry middle and then down to the soft fuffy base.. I'm not sure how many layers it was but when I placed the fork in my mouth I heard Angels sing! It was a soft sweetness with a tart lite lemon squirt across my tounge.. then as I moved the desert in my mouth another scense emerged.. till finally at the end the rasberry exploded. I looked at my wife and avised her one was not enough! Then came the BLT...perfect! .. I will be back to the place many more times. Also the prices were very fair. The staff was kind and friendly. Theeasest 5 starts I ever gave..

Outstanding coffee and my BLT was terrific, generous amount of bacon.

Absolutely nothin bad to say about this place the food is incredible and they offer vegetarian and vegan options which I love! I come here often have never witnessed any staff or owner issues, they are all always so wonderful. Thanks for the great food and great job you guys have been doing!

This place is just perfect. The best about it - it stays the same over the years. You'll never be dissapointed! I've tried everything there and I believe chef is a wizard, because how can it all be fantastic every single time? Service is great too. And coffe! So good! Stay the same, Perfect Cup!
