The lavender oat-milk iced latte is absolute heaven. I just moved to the area and had been looking for an aesthetically pleasing coffee shop that resembled the atmosphere and lavender coffee back home— this is the place! I have tried three other shops (including the raved about Brew-HaHa) and this hits all the good vibes. The people that work there are incredibly kind and the outdoor seating is spacious (great for reading a book)! Also, a plus, plenty of pups that come through for pets!
If youre looking for great coffee, make sure you go to Little Goat Coffee Roasting Co. When I travel, I always look for local roasters. I had an espresso and it was perfect! It had a perfect balance of bitter and tart with a slightly sweet finish. Before I left, I ordered a regular coffee (Honduras) to go and a bag of Brazil beans, roasted two days prior. I was extremely happy with my coffee experience. The atmosphere at Little Goat is relaxing, both indoor and outdoor. The staff is very knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. This will be my go to when Im visiting the area.
Service is really nice and the atmosphere is nice too. I found the coffee to have a burnt taste that I didnt like. It seems like a cool spot but the coffee could be better.
My favorite coffee shop in Newark, DE. Great atmosphere, high-quality coffee, professional (but not uptight) staff, and a nice expansive outside porch for studying or hanging out.The only downside is that the wifi is unreliable.
Great espresso, homemade syrups are delicious, milk alternatives available, reasonably priced, friendly staff. This is now my go to coffee shop while in town.
Great autumn spiced latte. Great hipster feel to the place and people.
Love, love, LOVE this place. Great get together place. My satellite office.
The cold brew (I drink mine black) was perfect; low acidity and bitterness, easy drinking on a 100°F day!Make sure you try the Lil Coco drink as well! Chilled espresso and coconut cream topped with cinnamon? Yes please!If youre a Chai drinker but afraid of it being too sweet like some other places, fear not. I only tried a sip of a friends but it was well balanced on the spice and low on sweetness (she had oatmilk in it).
Amazing, would head here every day if I could. Love their lavender latte
One of the best homegrown coffee shops in Northern Delaware. You get something and sit down you can feel yourself slow down from the hustle of the week.
A cute little cafe in the heart of Newark. Wonderful coffee, wonderful staff and Charming and cozy inside! Its a perfect spot to join friends or get some work done. Couches to sit and chat, and lovely house roasted coffee! They know what the are doing here, whether you are getting a specialty drink or buying beans to enjoy at home! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable to help you find what suits you!!
Quaint little coffee shop. Friendly people. Strong coffee.
I order 2 batches of coffee. Both are very good but the Brazil is my FAVORITE. I love the flavor but the aroma is simply magnificent.
Great locally roasted espresso and coffee. Barista have good knowledge. Parking is sparce, but its off main street so thats expected.
Great variety and stellar service to the UD community. Wish they can expand more!
Nick was super helpful! He recommended a drink to us, I placed my order & he even gave me a suggestion based on what I got. Very friendly & patient.
Great cafe, try one of their specialties...I like the Lil Coco Loco
Friendly service and tasty roasts. Happy to be supporting a local roaster in the 302. 💯
Not sure how this gem only has a 4.9 star rating. Anything less than 5 is just wrong. Perhaps the best latte I have ever had.
By far my favorite coffee shop in Delaware- heck, all of the east coast!! Little Goat has high quality coffee that is roasted in-house, addicting speciality drinks, and one of a kind teas. The environment is cozy enough for a winter morning, or chill enough for a summer afternoon. On Saturdays, they have delicious “bites” like muffins and homemade savory tarts. The owners and staff are super friendly and they allow dogs! If you have not been here, you’re seriously missing out!!
Custom herbal tes are grown in owners mothers garden, and are out of this *world*
Great coffee (says my spouse) great people
I used to work nearby and loved this place. I was able to stop by recently and my god I forgot how good their coffee is. This is the kind of shop you love to love. Keep it up Little Goat!
Really unique flavors of coffee that change throughout the seasons! Theyre taking covid very seriously, too, which is great! I love that they have oat milk!
Best coffee shop in Delaware. Great cappuccino and wonderful presentation.
Great quaint little place with covered porch has gourmet coffees, matcha, vegan snacks and more
Great Coffee and Great People. This is simply the best coffee shop around. They have done an outstanding job of delivering a great product since they opened and managed to continue that during this difficult year. I cannot say enough good things about the Little Goat.
This place was popping so you could tell it was a local favorite! Perfect to get an espresso drink or pick up some beans/grinds to bring home
Super friendly staff and great espresso! 💕
Lol coco loco is amazing. Even better when I ask for it to be not as sweet. And the Ethiopia coffee is great. Perfect roast, not burnt! Love this place
I’m so so grateful Little Goat Coffee Roasting exists. It has become routine for me to visit at least once every time I’m in Delaware visiting my father, and it has become a dear + special pastime for us.u2028u2028Such a lovely and home-like abode, and one of my favorite coffee shops in any state—certainly my favorite in Newark and all of Delaware. The setup (both inside and out on the patio) really make this place a vibe, in addition to the people that run the place and the crowd it attracts.The quality of coffee and the creative, standout speciality drink options also make this place unmistakable.Thank you for your service to all that run this place (i.e. Nick, Shawn, Kenny - no longer there, and the rest).
BEST coffee in Newark hands down. The original seasonal recipes are always amazing! Already missing snow day latte
Super friendly staff. Very knowledgeable about the product. The coffee is so unique.
Perfect coffee. Great roaster. My only regret is that COVID took away a great place to relax and enjoy some down time with a wonderful cup of your favorite coffee drink.
I have a coffee grinder for my coffee maker and these beans are the best. My coffee taste way better
Getting their matcha latte with a shot of espresso and oat milk has become a Saturday ritual for me. They have hearty coffee and good vibes.
Revamped the outdoor waiting area for COVID concerns so waiting in line is comfortable. Great spot and every barista is knowledgeable about where their beans come from and their roasting process. Check em out!
Hands down the best coffee in Delaware
The best coffee in delaware. Their specialty drinks are usually great, but they make great cappuccinos, Chai, and plain old brewed coffee too. It is definitely worth it to buy a freshly ground coffee too.
I ordered Chai Latte.I think the chai drink is very weak. I probably order something else next time.
Nice, cosy and a REAL coffeeshop ;)You would enjoy spending hours here. I jus would have liked to be more spacious; it is very small and soon gets filled.
The House dark roast is my go to every morning. The day isnt right without it.
Very milky, creamy latte. Too milky, not enough coffee flavour for my taste. Going to try a bolder regular coffee next time.Good Covid layout. Parking in back, order by front door and pickup at side window.
Huge fan of their drinks!! Literally everything is superb - highly recommend
Great local place, always incredible service and theyve been very safe during the pandemic.
No tables, no chairs, no coming inside... We were suggested to drink coffee by sitting on the deck... Disappointed 🙁
A very nice place to get a coffee that has some character
Great beverages. Amazing Cafe i highly recommended this place....
Love the specialty drinks and the vide of the place, being right off Main St. Wish it was there a few years sooner when I was going to UD, would of had it daily.
The iced mocha is 👌
The latte is fantastic!!! When I went back I had to go up to a large. I am from SC so I have been trying all the coffee shops while I been up here. This is by far the best coffee place around!
Best traditional brewed coffee Ive ever had. You can seriously taste the quality of the coffee beans, and the differences that come from individual origins. It was almost like my taste buds were transported across the world. Seriously was amazing. Especially if you legitimately enjoy the subtle tastes of coffee, and dont cover it up with sugar, or extreme amounts of dairy. Get the Pour Over to order for the best experience, and you can pick one of the single origin beans that they have in stock, which they have nice descriptions of at the counter. I havent tried any of their espresso drinks, but considering how amazed I was by the drip coffee, Im sure its good.
Delicious drinks (try the peanut butter hot cocoa-- you wont be disappointed!!), super cute and cozy atmosphere with comfy couches inside and spacious outdoor seating, and very friendly staff. My absolute favorite coffee shop in Delaware! I always feel at home here:)
Delicious coffee made by great people. They roast beans on site giving the shop an amazing scent. Polite and passionate employees!
The atmosphere appears to be exceptionally cozy; like sitting in a friendly living room. The only negative is that I am 62, so enjoying the coffee in the sitting room is awkward at best. However, this should not prevent you from stopping in for your morning cup-o-Joe fix, because the coffee itself is exceptional. It surprised me so much that I ordered a different blend to-go just to make sure it wasnt a fluke. Both were delicious. I plan to make this a regular stop on days I can start work late.
Great locally/family owned and operated coffee shop/roaster. Fair trade and single point origin offerings with good espresso drinks/tea/small snacks. Interior is a bit small, but comfy and well decorated. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and you can watch and smell the beans roasting.
This place blows Starbucks out of the water.I’m going to be buying a grinder soon so I can dive into some of there delicious beans.It’s a must go if you are in the area and want good coffee from great people.
Without a doubt the best place to get coffee in Newark. Very friendly staff, and has a super cozy atmosphere that is great just to sit and enjoy. The coffee is delicious, and they sell bags for your machine at home. Staff is knowledgeable about coffee and loves to talk about it!
Great coffee shop that roasts their own joe. Depending on how you feel they have a nice variety of beans from the best spots in the world. The Ethiopian is my Fav.
Most others have made covid changes to their shops and practices but this one knocked it out of the park. Sure their impressive and considerately crafted coffee drinks are five stars and their various coffee beans are roasted to delicious perfection. But its these beautiful touches to the already impressive design of the former skate shop they set up in a few years ago that make you feel like you will be cared for and are valued as a customer and a human being. I consider this to be the pinnacle of boutique coffee experiences and im convinced you will too.
Little Goat is a great find! Their prices are reasonable and their product is delicious. Just a few steps off of Main Street, they are conveniently located too. If you have a UD student buy them a gift card. You will be supporting a small business, and your Blue Hen will be forever grateful.
Super delish coffee! Service with kindness.
What a great little spot! I always avoid the S word when Im looking for actual good coffee. These guys dont burn the coffee beans during roasting, and they provide a great, cozy environment to get laptop with done, or just meet with friends. Plenty of plug-in spaces. Indoor and outdoor seating (when the season is appropriate). Super close to Main st action without feeling cluttered and crazy.
Damn. Good. Coffee. Warm staff. Excellent outdoor seating (limited indoor). Very chill vibe, and I repeat: damn good coffee. Large, clean bathroom (if that matters to you). Highly recommend!
Great coffee shop! Their cortado is one of the best I’ve had.
Great coffee
The quintessential coffee shop that every town needs. Since theyve opened, there hasnt been many weeks that I havent went in and purchased a cup. Their roasts are great as well, my favorite is their Brazil (medium) roast. They also have a fantastic cold brew that goes perfectly with their vanilla flavoring syrup.
This coffee shop is great. Its one of the few in the area that roasts in-house, paying close attention to the flavors of the beans and the art of brewing coffee. Staff are always polite and timely in preparing orders, and I have never been disappointed! Plenty of indoor and outdoor space also to work.There are many outfits anymore that try to dress up coffee too much with flavoring, adding it to frappucinos, etc. If you desire to sip on a cup of coffee with complex, natural flavors from the beans, this is your place.
My espresso was very good and I normally dont like espresso
Delicious coffee!
A local delight. Their love and passion for coffee shines through in every cup. You can even pick up a bag of beans while you are there.
Incredible coffee shop and it’s one of my favorites in the entire area. Matcha is a must if you’re into it but otherwise the coffee is exquisite. Definitely recommend and it’s very quiet.
A cozy space with a few places to work or relax on a couch. I got an Ethiopian coffee which was truly fresh. My friend got a coffee with their homemade sweetened condensed coconut cream and it was so subtlety sugary and delicious. The baristas were kind and friendly. Will be going again tomorrow!
Its nice to have local coffee roasters in the area. My wife and I bought a bag of whole bean coffee to take home, and a couple of cold brews on a hot summer day. The older I get, the more I appreciate a quality cup of coffee. Little Goat is quality and I will be coming back to get some more of that sweet sweet java when Im in the area.
Hands down the best coffee I have ever had. The owner truly cares about good coffee. Rather than other chain shops that care about their image and profits.I buy the coffee by the five pound bag its so good. I even take it when I travel.Id sooner drink warm mud than choke down the garbage Starbucks calls coffee.Its Little Goat Coffee Roasting or nothing.If youve ever had Illy brand its like a much better version of that.Seriously. Its the best coffee you will ever have.
This is a really great Hidden Treasure of Newark. I had a great experience there. Not only do they brew the best coffee in town but they also roast it on site. It was very interesting seeing how the raw beans turned into nicely dark roasted beans.
Ive had a hard time finding good coffee in Newark but Little Goat is perfect. They sell their beans to local grocers, and their store off of Main Street is awesome. The staff there is very friendly. The shop is split in half, one area is seating and ordering, while the other area is where they roast the beans. The coffee is always amazing and delicious. Definitely would recommend to everyone, and support the local business.
Nice little coffee shop just off Main Street. Several seating options inside and out. My cappuccino was excellent. Service was good. There are not many food options, just some very good cookies. Free WiFi and it was very popular with students.
Simply the best
So many good choices Im tempted to buy two drinks to avoid difficult choices! ❤️
I love the coffee at Little Goat. If you want to go local, they are a great alternative to corporate coffee. There is a small cozy seating area if you are meeting friends or colleagues. They also sell their own brand of coffee here and at my local farm co-op. Dont forget the free parking spaces behind the building!!
Friendly service and the best coffee in Newark. Proprietors Olivia and Joe are available and knowledgeable. Great to have our own coffee roasted in town! All the coffee and coffee-related drinks are on point but I especially like the mocha - not too sweet, just perfect. If you are a serious coffee person have a shot of espresso; theyve got a very good blend that theyve developed for it and the baristas know how to pull.
Very friendly, chill
Wonderful spot, I love that they kept some of the elements of the skateboard shop that was there before. The lattes are my go to every time I come in and of course get some CBD in it. Fair prices. Could use some more indoor seating though!
Best coffee shop, hands down. Locally owned and operated. Ethically sourced. They get all my coffee business.
This wonderful little spot has fantastic coffee and very knowledgeable staff. Its a comfortable indoor sitting area or weather permitting a really nice outdoor porch. Right in the heart of the busy downtown Newark area, this coffee shop allows you to slow down and enjoy one of the great Pleasures in life.
