The Mercury Cafe and Teahouse
206 Delaware St, New Castle, DE
Crema's Take
“Tucked into New Castle's historic charm, this spot trades generic coffee shop vibes for an upscale-cozy atmosphere that feels like visiting a stylish friend's living room, complete with excellent playlists and a genuinely warm crew. Beyond the stellar traditional and specialty coffee, they're making waves with creative matcha tea blends and thoughtfully curated vegetarian food with vegan options that go way beyond the usual pastry case. Whether you're settling in with your laptop for a few hours or gathering friends in their intimate space with banquet options, the quick service and 4.9-star consistency suggest this is the kind of place that actually earns its devoted following.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

A must go spot. I came all the way from Southern Maryland to visit New Castle and this place. My food and tea came out very quick and was very tasty. If I ever come back to New Castle, I will for sure be coming back to here!
I come in to work every once in a while. The food is excellent, the ambiance is upscale cozy, and the tea blends are delicious. ..bonus, friendly people and great playlists.
