Well it didn't cost a nickel, but then what does these days? We enjoyed some delicious custard dishes with a variety of toppings. There was constant traffic and it was a little cool outside, but that didn't stop people from enjoying this custard location. The counter help was very pleasant and helpful. A great stop to our visit to Delaware. Seating is limited, but on a nicer day people can sit outside or just venture in and leave.

My husband and I stopped in to try ...what else...but their hamburgers! The sandwiches and fries were very good. We also tried the grilled cinnamon roll, which was also good. The people were friendly, and the restaurant clean. We really enjoyed the diner atmosphere and will definitely go there again!

Community oriented full-service Espresso Bar within a unique home/gift & antique store, comfy seating throughout & sit up bar. Handcrafted drinks using One Line & Brioso roasters!
Reviewed By Angelo S - Hilliard, Ohio
Reasonably good coffee mixed with an eclectic mix of "vintage" and antique items. It is an interesting mix concept, but the experience was slightly marred by a shortage of place to sit and a combination of smells (candles, "old things", etc.) along with the coffee. By no means am I a purist, but I would suggest doing your browsing first then grabbing a cup to either enjoy outside or to go.

On my way to Delaware, I decided to stop by this location for some much needed Grande Soy Chestnut Praline latte. Although they were slammed, the counter woman took my order very politely and pleasantly. This wonderful service made for a wonderful experience.

My wife have come here twice so far. Both times we have eaten in the bar area versus the restaurant which serves the entire menu. The service was was excellent and helpful. They have a lot of beers on tap and carry 40 or more craft beers from around the area. They have an interesting selection of mixed drinks. My wife enjoyed 'The Saint.' I preferred "The Smoking Gun.' I've gotten one of dinner specials each time I have been there and haven't been disappointed. They've got several desert options. We've tried a couple of them and have enjoyed them.

Good neighborhood 70s style ice cream with awesome ice creams and just average food. Come for the ice cream since they are all great and tasty: shakes, cones, swirls,flurries… Lots of parking space around so it is easy to get and stop. Fantastic and nice staff. Unfortunately hot dogs and burgers are in the downside though… So better come here just for their superb ice creams.
