The Village & Venue

New store so it should be fairly clean and it is. Plenty of pleasant staff, and the food was good.

I had a breakfast burrito and a blooming berry smoothie. The smoothie was not too sweet and appeared to be made with actual fruit. That's nice. The burrito wasn't wrapped very tightly but it was tasty. It seems like they might have a couple of new people and they're working out a couple of kinks but they're doing very well. I definitely wouldn't mind stopping back.

I did stop back and the service is still very pleasant. Unfortunately I'm finding their pricing a little much. Also there was a refresher which is a drink they do which they only had two flavors of, not one that I really wanted to try so I got one which was okay.

I also tried a cinnamon roll muffin, which I am certain they got from Sam's Club. That's discouraging. The bacon, egg and cheese was good, but it was also $9 and that's just on a English muffin. That's why I say it's a little too much. I like the place. I just can't afford to come here very much.

Heard about this cafe opening but completely forgot about it until I was searching for a new local coffee shop to try. I first visited here on a Saturday and then I was there every single day that entire week. Every morning I tried a new drink and breakfast item to see what I liked. The smoothies are very delicious, the avocado toast, strawberry crepes, scrambled eggs bowl, breakfast burritos, and açaí bowl were so good! It’s nice to have a local place where you can make an açai bowl without having to go to playa bowl in Middletown. The macrons from Brooke’s are so tasty, I’ve tried almost all of the flavors. On short staff and busier days it can be a bit of a wait for your food but that’s expected anywhere. The staff are all very welcoming and polite. If you need a quick stop into a new cafe for some variety this is definitely the place to stop!

The Village Cafe is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! The staff, atmosphere, food, and drinks are all top notch. Everything is made fresh while you wait, and you can really taste the difference. This cafe is exactly what Dover needed—definitely check them out, you won’t be disappointed! ☕
