    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

    I can't say enough about this place! From coffee to sweets to sandwiches, Drip Cafe has amazing flavor with unique twists.

    As far as coffee is concerned, I typically order the cold brew with oat milk. However, their house blend hot coffee (a Colombian blend I believe) is also delicious and is very popular. My mom is very picky about her coffee and loves their hot coffee. They offer a variety of non-dairy milks and seasonal syrups, such as rosemary and maple.

    Almost every time I walked in, there were samples of their scones and muffins, which I loved! (Heck, everyone loves samples!) Plus, this can help when  you have no clue if you are feeling the Nutella muffin or the rosemary scone.

    My favorite thing about this place is their egg sandwiches!!! Truly, you cannot go wrong with any of them, but my favorite is probably the Cali on multigrain bread. My friends love getting the Cali with bacon as well.

    Drip Cafe offers really cool brunch menu items as well, so I highly recommend checking out their full menu. If I wasn't so attached to my favorite go-tos, I would've tried anything and everything else.

    As a recent UD alum, I am really missing having this place around! Next time I visit campus, you can find me here!!

    First timer at a Drip Cafe.

    Found the atmosphere pleasant and bright, with very friendly staff and basic, but comfortable seating.

    Their Breakfast Burrito was stuffed to the gills with egg, bacon, peppers, onions and cheese and was plenty spicy. The Waldorf Chicken Salad Wrap was very good, too. Star of the show, however, was the locally roasted coffee, that had a wonderful flavor and was exactly right for a first cuppa joe.

    Newark is a new world for me. Son O' Mine is a freshman @ UDel (engineering), and Drip Cafe was my first Yelp of exploration.

    Not bad at all!

    I love Drip Cafe in Hockessin, and was happy to have the opportunity to try the Newark location while my car was in the shop (MUCH better than waiting at the dealership!). The menu is similar to Hockessin, with a lot of my favorites from there, but with a more university-town twist. It's more casual than Hockessin. Instead of table service, you order at the counter. I like this for Newark--it allows you to sit and do work on your computer without feeling like you have to eat and leave because someone's waiting for your table, which is the feeling I get in Hockessin.

    The food came out quickly and was good. I ordered a bagel with cheesy egg on the side (my recent Drip Cafe favorite). My fiance ordered the breakfast cheesesteak. He said it was good, but probably not something he'd order again because it was pretty heavy--although he said that he would have enjoyed it on weekend mornings when he was in college.

    It's nice to have another Drip Cafe location, and we'll definitely be back.

    Super friendly and patient staff greeted and took our orders from weary travelers toting 3 kids along.   Everyone was very happy with their food.  It was served on the table quickly and the quality was excellent!!!!   The photos don't lie! We ordered a cinnamon donut, plain bagels with cream cheese, beacon egg & cheese on a plain bagel AND steak poutine!

    Extremely disappointed with this location. I absolutely love Drip Cafe in Hockessin and I have given the Newark location two chances before writing this.
    1st visit my latte was room temperature, my order was wrong and my eggs were cold. I was handed my order as soon as it was ready so I am not sure why it was not hot.
    2nd visit I ordered The Cali - my usual order at the Hockessin location - I knew the eggs were going to be scrambled and not fried, but they put a thick cheese omelette on the sandwich instead of a slice of cheese with eggs. All I could taste was the cheese and I ended up removing the omelette halfway through because it was gross.
    The latte I received today (my usual order) tasted rancid to the point I didn't feel comfortable drinking it.
    Not sure who manages this location, but it is not up to the Drip Cafe standards I am used to.
