Coffee Talk
The Best Coffee at the Beach
Start your morning like a local — strong brew, great vibes, and zero rush.
The coffee culture here is growing, and I’m loving every minute of it. Whether you’re into single-origin pour-overs, bold cold brews, or a perfect oat milk latte, there’s something for every kind of coffee lover. These are my favorite spots to slow down and sip something good:
Gaia Coffee Co. | Lewes, DE
Organic, intentional, and community-driven, Gaia is my personal go-to. The drinks are excellent (try the honey lavender latte!) and the vibe is peaceful, cozy, and full of positive energy.
Local Tip: Grab one of their wellness shots or house-made toasts while you're there.
Station on Kings | Lewes, DE
Part café, part lifestyle boutique, this place is made for aesthetically pleasing mornings. The espresso is smooth, the pastries are fresh, and the outdoor seating feels like a dream.
Local Tip: Go early — it gets packed on weekends!
Rise Up Coffee | Rehoboth Beach, DE
A crowd favorite with strong Maryland roots, Rise Up is known for its bold blends, nitro cold brew, and eco-conscious mission. It’s fast, friendly, and always consistent.
Local Tip: Their breakfast burritos are low-key amazing.
Milton Home Coffee Roastery | Milton, DE
Tucked in a quiet corner of Milton, this small-batch roaster is a hidden gem. Come for the locally roasted beans and stay for the warm, welcoming energy. You can often catch the owners working the counter themselves.
Local Tip: Grab a bag of beans to go — they make perfect gifts or souvenirs.
Zava Café | Milton, DE
Bright, fresh, and family-run, Zava offers delicious espresso drinks, smoothies, and sandwiches with a side of heart. It’s a go-to for locals in-the-know.
Local Tip: Try their seasonal specials — always creative and delicious.
