Crema's Take
“Drip Cafe in Hockessin is a spacious, self-service gem where creative seasonal specials and matcha drinks shine just as brightly as their consistently excellent pastries and breakfast offerings. The relaxed, laptop-friendly atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for lingering over a carefully crafted drink—whether that's their signature creative beverages or a perfectly executed iced matcha latte—while enjoying solid light bites like their standout grilled cheese. What keeps regulars coming back is the reliable quality across everything on the menu, paired with a welcoming vibe that feels more like settling into a favorite neighborhood retreat than grabbing a quick coffee.”

I have actually never had anything from Drip that I didn't like! From their drinks to their pastries to their seasonal specials, everything is consistently good. I love the unique flavors and ideas in many of the dishes. The service is quick. The atmosphere is that of a busy cafe/coffee shop. Always worth a stop!
I stopped into Drip Cafe recently and was surprised by my experience. There were only a handful of guests dining and no line when I walked in. I placed a very simple drink order and moved to the pickup area. Shortly after, another customer walked in. It was clear the clerk and this customer were familiar with each other, as she quickly helped complete his order. At that point, my drink had already been started — the cup was pulled and the first ingredient added. After a brief interaction between the two employees, my drink was moved back in the queue and the new customer’s order was prioritized. I then had to watch that drink be made and the customer walk out before mine was resumed and completed. I believe that’s poor service etiquette. Orders should be completed in the order they’re received, regardless of familiarity. I work in the same parking lot and have been coming here for years. I always tip well and treat staff respectfully. I simply expect the same level of professionalism in return. To be honest, this type of inefficiency is the primary reason I don’t return more frequently. Consistency and fairness in service matter, especially for repeat local customers.
Drip Cafe in Hockessin De It’s a unique experience, these no waitresses or waiters to help you with anything when it comes to deciding on what I good to eat! Its name should be called Internet cafe. This spot if for 25 years olds. These two ways of ordering stand on a line and had and find a table or sit at your table and scan a QR code. That’s it! The only human interaction. Now if you go the route we took and place our food and coffee through the QR scan MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE EXACTLY HOW YIU WANT EVERYTHING MADE, especially the coffee make sure you leave a comment stating that to leave room for creamer and sugar if not you will have an spill. They’re attention to detail isn’t there one priority, our coffee came and the lady just left didn’t ask with we need anything no spoon or sugar or creamer nothing. Unfortunately our bacon can out cold my food was tasteful but my potatoes were cold I had the burrito bowl. The upside is that my wife’s Mediterranean pita was good at first but it didn’t hold itself after 2 bites. We won’t be back. But if you like the traditional way for ordering or an human interaction that isn’t the spot for you. 1 out of 5 star.
Beautiful and spacious cafe with a delicious menu. Ordered an iced matcha late and the adult grilled cheese and it was phenomenal!
Good customer service Ordered a tea and forgot to get a tea bag (first time visiting so was a bit confused) they allowed me to come back to pick one. Decided to order the apple pancakes, good but def too sweet for me but glad I tried. Will be going back to try their salad and coffee
