Faire Cafe — Restaurant in Wilmington

Oh. My. Goodness. I am totally in love with this place… I kept saying for a while now that I miss having great, delicious coffee. Whenever I travel to Europe it just tastes very very different than anything here or even when it’s made at home. This morning I was being picky with where to get coffee from as I am not a fan of many places around so decided to try something new. It was my first time stopping by and I am sooooo impressed!! The coffee hit the spot! Delicious! I think I was missing delicious coffee so bad that it literally felt like this drink was gently hugging my soul… those that love coffee will understand… lol 😂 I also ordered a salad which actually ended up tasting great with coffee as it was fruity/sweet. The place was super clean, decor - amazing, swings - yay! 😁 and to top it all manager Carolina was there and we were having a prolonged conversation (it was still very quiet) so when offered, she just sat down with me and spoke about the business and where they are heading in the future. On the way out I got another coffee and a chicken sandwich for my boyfriend. He said it was delicious and kept asking me what was in it. I believe they got another fan! 😁Overall wonderful experience! Definitely...

Disappointed to say the least. Last week I was driving back to Massachusetts and planned a stop in Wilmington to visit Faire after seeing the beautiful photos and menu on Instagram. We went to the cafe on Saturday morning at 10 am and were shocked when we approached the cafe. From the outside the space looked shut down but somehow inside felt even more deserted and just off. I was reassured when I walked into the cafe I noticed four people sitting at the cafe tables but I then realized these were actual employees, not real customers. The (massive) cafe was empty and employees were reading at the tables and chatting with nothing else to do since they had no business on a Saturday morning. The coffee was alright, food was mediocre at best. Very expensive for Delaware. All I can say is beware of social media, as this place is smoke and mirrors and does not look the same on IG. Very rarely do I walk into a business and can instantly tell it's a side hustle that gets very little attention. Even my friend said it best "this place feels like an unfinished...

I am so glad this place just opened and the neighborhood finally has a good spot to get coffee and breakfast/brunch! The thought and attention to detail around the overall concept of this restaurant is excellent. It looks like the owners did not skimp on anything (I mean… I ordered takeout once and they gave me a nice, big thick napkin and cute branded to-go coffee cup.) Food-wise I like that Faire sources local products, like Merzbackers Philly muffins. My vegan breakfast sandwich actually had some flavor to it and the vegan sausage tasted like real Italian sausage with fennel and a slight spiciness. My sandwich was delicious and the coffee was good too. I’ll definitely come back and hope this café keeps up the same high standards way...
