The Perfect Cup Cafe
7460 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin, DE
Crema's Take
“The Perfect Cup Cafe in Hockessin has earned serious praise for their espresso-focused craft and thoughtfully prepared food, with reviewers ranting about everything from beautifully plated eggs and avocado toast to coffee that ranks among the best they've ever had. The staff clearly takes pride in their work, offering genuine recommendations and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's equally suited for solo coffee contemplation or gathering with a group of friends. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where a Monday morning hike naturally leads to a leisurely lunch, and where every detail—from the crunch of the bacon to the richness of the bread—feels intentional.”

I stopped by a few weeks back (A Monday morning) , The lights were on and the door was unlocked and open..... As I entered I was told by the female staff member that the business was not opened yet... I asked her what time they opened and she said 7am.... When I got back in my vehicle (30 seconds later) I noticed that it was 6:56 am ..! I was 4 minutes too early and they sent me away... Never had anything like that happen to me at Dunkin Dunuts or Wawa (right next door)... This is exactly why these independant businesses rarely last... In all fairness, their coffee products are fine, no better or worse than their competitors products... I have been back a few times since that day (always after 7am)... Just a thought... If you open up at 7am for business, how come your baked goods are never available until much later....?? I think I'm going back to Dunkin Dunuts and Wawa.....
Amazing staff food was good and coffee was absolutely beautiful and yummy😋
Really amazing coffee some of the best I ever had. Bread is full of flavor, avocado fresh, eggs seasoned and cooked amazingly, bacon has a really good crunch too it overall visiting from another state give it a 10/10
A pleasant surprise. We went on a hike nearby and then had a lovely lunch. The menu has something to please everyone. There was about 8 people in our group and everyone's food was plated beautifully and just delicious. We had garden burgers that were over the top full of flavors. The owner checked in with us and brought the table bagel chips to share. People in our group were planning on coming back soon.
On a mission to try different cafes in Delaware and Perfect Cup did not disappoint. The man behind the counter waiting to take our order was helpful, patient, and gave great recommendations when my friend and I informed him that that it was our first time. He recommended the matcha (he read my mind) and it came out amazing both times. He graciously remade it for me when it didn’t have oat milk the first time. The BLTs were crispy and satisfying. Definitely will be coming back! We stayed till they closed without realizing, very comfortable and welcoming environment ☺️
