My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. The outside garden patio was perfect for a romantic meal. I loved the Chardonnay and their homemade tomato soup is a must — it is the most delicious tomato soup ever! And their salads with house made dressing is always fabulous. Great food, drinks, atmosphere and add in the always friendly service, dining at Mercury Cafe is the best experience.

Best place we have eaten at in Delaware. Wasn’t hungry but the place looked so inviting so we went in. My wife and I split a toco salad that was exceptionally good! Wonderful atmosphere. Will return with an empty stomach soon. Thank you for the great experience.

The best vegan food in New Castle County. Amazing meat-free, healthy options at reasonable prices. Plus this place is so cute! Great atmosphere. Set up in a historic house – the staff can tell you about the history.

We dined in. The food, coffee, service, and atmosphere were all splendid. I had the grilled cheese. Amazing! The bread was perfectly done, and the cheese was melted just right. I had a side salad instead of chips. The dressing was some kind of champagne vinegarette. I LOVED it! The salad was fresh and flavorful. I will be back. The staff was so friendly and accommodating.

What a treat to find this vegetarian gem! The cozy colonial building provides multiple levels and rooms of ambience. Ordering food is at the bar. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only con we experienced was trying to decide from the MANY delicious sounding options the pulled oat pork sandwich was a highlight and I highly recommend. The salads were a right balance of greens, toppings, and dressing (not drowning like mostly places create). The hummus and tzatziki plate was great for a kid, lots of options. The impossible burger had a great seasoning to it with a sweet bun. The Dutch Hot Toddy is perfect on a cold and rainy day. All in all, the best meal on the trip so far and I recommend you give it a try, vegetarian or not.

First time in this section of town and loved the vibes. The cobblestones and house environment was so cute and cozy. We ended up sitting outside in the patio area with tons of plants and shade. They had lots of vegan options to choose from and tasty alcohol selections. We got the pretzel appetizer plate which was super soft and filling, the vegan pulled pork sandwich and the impossible burger which were amazing as well. The service was wonderful and they were genuinely nice and attentive. We both vowed to come back again and soon. Highly recommend and wish we had discovered it sooner.

Our daughter introduced us to this gem when we were visiting from out of town, and we enjoyed lunch on the patio. Everything on the menu is delicious, including the vegan options. The inside is quaint and cozy, and we wished we could have gone back for dinner. We look forward to visiting again!

This is a fantastic spot for a morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The food and cocktails are super tasty and at quite reasonable post-pandemic prices too! The outdoor patio is lovely as are the staff. This place is definitely on heavy rotation. Love it!
