Customer Testimonials

Mary

Love love love! New to Delaware so finding a local coffee spot has been high on my priority list and I 100% have found it! Great coffee, pastries, and atmosphere. The people there were super friendly as well. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

Anne

I have been using Fresh Start for a few larger functions and ordering from their catering menu. It has been a wonderful experience! They are very responsive. Not only is the food delicious, but they make the event run smoothly since that is one thing I don’t have to worry about!

Bethany

Great service, beverages, and food. Coffee and tea have been made quickly and correctly every time, and the staff is very friendly. The environment is cute and has local art in the back to browse while you enjoy your drink. But the real winner here is the scratch-made biscuit sandwiches. Holy moly the cheese and egg biscuit sandwich is GOOD. And not just “good for a quick bite” good . It’s “drive out of my way to get one of these biscuits” good.
