Talula's Table

Reviewing on my cafe experience as I have yet to dine here for dinner. I love this cafe. So many delicious treats to choose from. I’ve only ever tried their frittata, but I can’t wait to try some baked goods. They have many different small food brands’ products, too. I wish they carried Baba’s Kombucha. It would fit in so well. At least they do have a kombucha option, but it is a common brand that doesn’t exactly feel like it matches the cute, bespoke nature of Talula’s. Limited seating in the cafe, but the style of seating is sweet. Two communal style tables. The decor in the place is thoughtfully curated to match the unique style of whomever designed the space. There is intentionality and originality in it. The door is often rotating during the day with people coming in to grab food to go, but even with all the action, the environment is peaceful to sit and chat with a friend or get some work done. I can’t wait to come back and try more!

We booked a tasting dinner here a full year in advance to nab a Saturday evening and it was well worth it. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all excellent. We were absolutely blown away by not just the quality of the courses, but also the variety on the winter menu. Talula's really did an excellent job preparing unique, flavorful dishes with fresh ingredients that each stood out on their own. The add-ons between the dishes such as the small bites to start the meal and the just incredible bread basket were also all excellent. Our two servers also did an absolutely great job. We appreciated that they were able to make accommodations for various food allergies. This was well worth the trip out to Kennett Square from Philly and one of the best tasting menu experiences we have had. We highly recommend getting your name in the books for this excellent dining experience!

It’s a grab and go place. Not many tables inside just one long communal with 8 chairs and a booth that sits 4. They can heat whatever up for you though like the pastries, soups and sandwiches. I had the chicken soup which was good. It was a light broth and had spinach and corn in it. The chicken pieces were chunked and some were chewy. My friend got a huge scone she really liked. I got the ham and cheese croissant but they gave it to me in a baguette instead so they let me keep that one which was nice and got me the one I ordered. The croissant was much better, very flaky and delicious. Lots of ham and cheese. There is a bathroom in the back and a bunch of premade and packaged food you can buy. The flourless chocolate cake was fudgy but left a bad taste in my mouth.

I found this place on Google while looking up for vegetarian friendly restaurants. It took me a while & few attempts by a displeased server to finally understand that it's a Marketplace which has every single item except for the drinks spread out & displayed in various corners. I absolutely adored their setup! We sat outside because we got our dog along & it was nice outside given it's on a beautiful street. The interiors are done tastefully & are very cozy. It was really packed probably because we went on a Sunday morning during holiday hours. Talking about the food. We got an almond croissant, an order of hot chocolate, sesame noodles (I don't remember the exact order name) & veg enchiladas. The hot chocolate was really good in taste & size. Absolutely loved the croissant, my husband liked the noodles, lastly the enchiladas were crispy outside but the filling was really bland. I also picked an almond cake which I didn't love because of the texture, it was really soft & fresh though. A bottle of fig preserve & a box of granola. The granola is a little overcooked & gives a little burnt flavor in a few bites. They have an excellent selection of other bakery items & really good cheese, I just tried the goat cheese which I'm likely to get on the next visit. I'm likely to give another chance to their food which I found a little pricey for the portion size. But I'll be going here regardless, for the baked goods & excellent cheese! Do visit!

Lovely little shop with coffees, pastries, and prepared foods as well as a little shop. Friendly young staff. Seating is limited to one larger farm table and a smaller square table. A lively energy with unique and fun finds. The key lime tart was very good.

We got there at lunchtime line out the door on way to Longwood gardens. We had Asian chicken salad and a chicken Caesar salad with cheese stuffed baguette Two waters and a fruit tart. With lemon custard. $51.00. They have two tables inside and two small ones outside. The list of prices is hard to see if you are in line. Need better signage for pricing. They forgot to give us fruit tart. Rob had to go back and get it and they gave us a pumpkin cream cheese muffin to make up for it. It is so good and the fruit tart is tasty and beautiful. It’s small but very charming place. They have been there for years. Their quality of food is gourmet.

I’ve been a regular customer to this place. Firstly, Id like to appreciate the consistency of the food quality, too good every-time. They serve amazing croissants. I like their butter croissants, danish. They also have this gluten free chocolate cake which is hands down the best. Lastly, they have very good varieties of teas and coffees. I think they could do better with scones and macaroons.

I’m new to the area and this coffee shop is the best I’ve found! The iced oat milk chai is so delicious, the gluten free blueberry scone is incredible, the yogurt parfait with homemade granola is my favorite thing all ready to go in the to-go case and the baguette stuffed with cheese and warm from the oven is so good. All of the people behind the counter have been pleasant, helpful, and super efficient. This place is amazing and everyone should support them!

Popular, the waitlist is months long at the restaurant, but their market and cafe is much easier to get into. Visiting Kennett Square for a day, we popped in for an afternoon snack an hour before closing on a Saturday in July. We ordered the "Passionfruit Palmer" and Watermelon Lemonade to drink, the mushroom dip, a warm baguette, and the beet salad. Everything was refreshing and delicious, but especially the mushroom dip with the warm baguette.

Cinnamon bun scone was sooo good!! The flourless chocolate cake was delish too! I tried the chagalatte and I was a big fan. It's got mushroom blend in it with some mocha and coffee. My sister got ginger caramel oat milk latte and it was super super good. Service was so friendly. Loved how it was connected to a baked good/kitchen type of thing. Ambiance was relaxed and chill!!

If you follow my Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure you know I love my kids and dog NOT other people's kids and dogs. It was early and just about everybody had a kid or dog. I went into Talula's with much hesitation. To my utmost joy they have the breakfast sandwiches, wrpapped and ready to go out the door. I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. It had a very good zesty flavor. The people ordering drinks had a much longer wait. I'm glad I wasn't one of them.

Great inexpensive alternative to a restaurant meal. Loved the take away sandwiches and desserts. The brownie was outstanding and worth a return trip. Nice baked goods that were super fresh. Coffee was very good. Had a lovely time taking out and sitting in. Nice big table and a view of passersby. Went twice across two days. That says a lot.

Just got home from an absolutely amazing time at Talula's Table for the tasting dinner. We heard about this restaurant being one of the hardest places to get a reservation for, and we waited a year for this experience. Well worth the wait! We started with a few complimentary amuse bouches, went through the entire menu, and ended with extra complimentary sweets and cappachinos! We were so stuffed at the end. The plating was thoughtful, the food was delicious, and the servers were kind and professional, never letting a glass go empty with wine or water. It's honestly some of the best service I have ever gotten, and I've eaten at restaurants all over the world, michelin and mom and pop stores. The chefs and servers were careful to bring out special dishes and drinks to my Muslim friends (no pork and alcohol) and were attentive to any of our needs. The ambiance at night is totally different than the day time as well, really communal and intimate with strong lights and comfy seating. Wouldn't hesitate to come back, even if it means waiting another year! Thanks again to Kate and Meagan for taking such good care of us!

Four of us ventured out to the opening night of Talulah's Table, for an 8 course dinner. As we arrived and were seated at the store-front nook, our two servers relieved us of the wines we brought, having chosen them based on the menu preview provided a week prior to the occasion. Once we were all served, a brief description of the preparation for each selection was announced by our poised server. Each plated offering was artistically crafted and savory to our senses. Throughout the evening, without explanation, the staff kept our appropriately configured wine glasses filled with the perfect complementary pairing. This event was a unique and unforgettable dining experience to be repeated and delightfully anticipated. Service: 5/5 Dinner menu for "Vivid Autumn Moments" Lox & Latkes: gravlax, beet relish, herbs, labneh Pan-Fried Halloumi: balsamic figs, bomba rice, brown butter, marcona almond Pâté en Croûte: troy's apples, pistachio, cider, sage, mustard cream Ricotta Gnoudi: honeynut squash fonduta, cauliflower gremolata, thyme, parmesean Seared Scallop Bearnaise: broccoli, anchovy, chilies, olive Duck Mole: root hash, brussel sprouts Muschroom & Triple Cream Crepe: kennett square conserve, rosemary Ginger Crisp: caramelized pears, cranberry

Awesome service, good food , Chichen sandwich the best and cocktails are on point , also very friendly staff.

Love Talula's! The people are great! The food is wonderful and the coffee is always spot on!

This is one of my favorite restaurants and the first on my list for special occasions. It offers indoor and outdoor dining, and both are equally beautiful. The menu is farm to table and changes seasonally. That is sometimes tough for me, as I tend to have a venue favorite that I stick with for each visit. But I've never had a disappointing meal at Talula's. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. My only "complaint" would be that they eliminated the chef's tasting menu during Covid and have chosen not to bring it back. But that is more of a personal disappointment than a reflection of the restaurant itself. If you haven't been, I highly recommend.

Kept reading the raves on this place so tried it. All products I looked at are jacked up prices and can be purchased at fraction on Amazon or select grocery for less. Nothing original. You get your sandwiches from fridge and being a Californian that would sink like that Titanic. They don't make it fresh it is a overhyped cafeteria style joint. I expected to be able to order a sandwich to my specifications--who it's Brie & ham sandwich coldI mean the roll at minimum is optional toast the sandwich warm. Ever bring sandwich to work at eat after 4-6hours? It's not the same. Not a coffee drinker so maybe that's the appeal or it's literally 3-traffic light town without lot competition but this place I don't "Get" food reviews.

Ventured here on an amazing co mystery picnic and got our mini cheese board. While here I decided to also give their frozen chai spice, which was being advertised as a special, a try and so glad we did. For the first weekend in fall, this had all of the fall vibes and was such a yummy seasonal treat! The shabby chic vibes inside were a great touch, and this would definitely be a great spot to return when we decide to make our next cheese board!

Fantastic place with fantastic service. Super hard to get a reservation but it was well worth the year wait (!!!) we were immediately welcomed with a bunch of appetizers and bread baskets with so much variety and each with its own great modern twist to the type of bread like honeyed sourdough. We continued to receive things that were not listed on the fixed menu as complimentary sides. I really enjoyed all the mushroom dishes that featured the town's specialty. Definitely worth the experience, even for the kind service alone. The food all felt really fresh and never heavy, and the use of cream in a bunch of the dishes were really well balanced. Highly recommend!

SO AMAZING! Came here on a Sunday evening with my entire family to celebrate my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. We were seated right away in the back private room. All staff was super attentive, friendly, and adhered to Covid protocols. The food was amazing..... everything from the small appetizers, to the breads (the corn bread muffins with the honey butter and the baguette were out of this world), to the main meals were delicious. Dessert was so cool, loved the plating on everything as well. Amazing flavors, such a cool experience! My favorite was between the tuna tartare, the ravioli, and the beef. I will 100% definitely be back for another occasion!

Definitely worth the experience. Food was amazing and some of the best service I've ever received at a restaurant. So glad we went. Favorite dishes were ye tuna crude and mushroom empanada.

Talulas table is amazing! The food is always fresh and delicious. They have a wide selection of foods that cater to all dietary preferences.

We had an absolutely amazing dinner here last night! The entire experience was everything I expected and more. I am so happy we finally got around to trying it and we will definitely be back in the future. Every single dish was so flavorful and unique. The service was also phenomenal!

Worth the wait! Everyone in our party loved the food -- eight courses plus amuse-bouche -- and amazingly, none of us felt overly stuffed when leaving. The servers were helpful and friendly, and they were very accommodating of our one vegan and one pescatarian diners.

We go back to talula's every year for my birthday! We bring 12 of our closest friends and enjoy the best of the best food with great service and the entire restaurant to ourselves!

This review is for the takeout market which I frequented a few times this week. It is by far the best prepared food market I have ever visited. Mushroom Mac and Cheese is a true standout. Not to be missed! Brie and ham on baguette was also delicious as was the sausage, egg and cheddar breakfast bun. Mushroom soup was excellent but could be salted less. The SCONES! OMG! And Im not even a scone fan. Light and delicious. If you eat there, there are only a few tables indoors and outdoors. Staff is great and they will heat up food for you. Dont miss this place if you're in Kennett Square! They do everything right with consistancy which is rare. Shows what is possible and makes you disappointed with all other takeout/prepared food markets. Cant wait to try it for dinner if I can ever get a reservation.

Great coffee and sweet treats. Talula's Table is great for a quick stop for coffee and a sweet nibble. I recommend checking out the back for cheeses and crackers.

Atmosphere is very welcoming, and the servers are always so kind & accommodating! The baked goods are my favorite thing here. I think the hot breakfasts are a little pricey but they all taste awesome. Lastly- caution with the lattes, they're super hot at first. I love visiting Talulas :)

We've been getting coffee, pastries and cheese here for almost twenty years, and never once was I disappointed. Every so often we will get something from the case and it's always a question of whether it will live up to the hype. And it does. Their chefs can't seem to make anything bad. Still the best Americano around (I think their best Baristas work weekends though). Try the pear cranberry scone or a carrot cake cookie. Try some aged Gouda! And what would good food be without an amazing staff? They are friendly even under pressure, and they let you know you are a regular to each other which is cool. There is often a feeling of being in a European market or a little cooking museum with comfy couches. The kind of place you could read a book or watch the rain outside. My favorite part of going to Kennett, and a chance to reward your tastebuds!

Such a cute little place. The employees are all so friendly and the food tastes amazing. I absolutely love the macaroons and the yummy goat cheese, tomato, and spinach frittata.. I also love the iced honey cinnamon latte.

Great experience - best with a group of friends - long wait for a table. Think it's BYO.

Talula's Table is unlike other grab-n-go spots. Their food is incredible and made from scratch. Unreal chefs here. Try the Kennet Square Mushroom soup, it's like riding a jet ski...you can't help but smile.

I and my friends had an absolutely wonderful time at Talula's table on Saturday night. The small offerings were tasty and absolutely unique. I think we all enjoyed everything. I was absolutely delighted with the service. Every course was paired with BYOB wine, as well as a detailed explanation of the food we were eating. We sat at the table in the front window, but did not feel like we were on display at all. We all agreed that it was the best food experience that we had had in sometime. Everybody wanted to make a reservation to make sure that we got back for a second experience as soon as possible.

Fantastic great experience chef private dining. Would definitely do it again. Hidden gem

Love this market and hope to get an opportunity to have their tasting menu eventually.

Talula's Table is a pretty unique store. Gourmet market place during the day time, then at night closes its door to small groups for a farmhouse, gourmet, set-course meal dinner. I was first made aware of this place by a relative, who told me reservations can only be made 1 year in advance almost on the dot at 7am, and it was no joke. However, you might be able to squeeze an imprompt reservation if ones are cancelled, though it's not guaranteed. A bunch of colleagues and mine decided to make a reservation, and we finally got to come! They message you around 1 month in advance asking for food restrictions, then they send you suggested wine pairings. Overall, AMAZING (pricey) experience! We arrived and the store was still somewhat opened to the public (waiting for those who are already in to leave). Street parking was easy to find. The area is a very quaint, small-town feel. We were able to start drinking wine and tapas were being served (1 serving per person), and honestly probably one of the best tapas I've ever had. We were then seated and we had a 7-course meal, with each course beautifully explained by the server. They were ALL delicious. In the end, we paid a hefty price of greater than $100 per person. Was it worth it? I'd say yes for the experience, but I can imagine some who would not think it's worth it. Would I come to this again? YES! But only for very special occasions. Do I recommend this place? YES! Come at least once in your life for the experience if you live around this area. Pros: Amazing atmosphere, cool experience, awesome staff Cons: Price, making reservations 1 year in advance

Prepared foods (meals, soups, etc) for taking home and heating. Selection of cheeses, crackers, spreads, coffee. We purchased the $15 cheeseboard that came with nuts, grapes, honey, toast, and a selection of hard cheeses). It was fantastic! Highly recommend. We also got crackers and a goat cheese cranberry spread. This was also very good. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Definitely worth a stop when in Kennet Square.

They catered my grandson's Christening and everything was prepared so nicely, the food was delicious and the people were so fine to deal with. Highly recommend! Thanks

Everything is always delicious! The Mushroom Dip is a must for any gathering or hostess treat for all occasions.

The mushroom soup was delicious. We no added a fresh baguette. What a combo. Would highly recommend!!

This adorable little coffee shop/deli is the perfect spot to grab a tasty meal and cup of coffee or espresso beverage. It's great for grab-and-go style, but there's also ample seating if you'd like to sit and enjoy your selections in house. They offer both healthy and indulgent breakfast treats like quiche, frittata, breakfast burritos, smoothies, fresh fruit, and pastries. I've had the quiche, frittata, breakfast burrito, and a scone and they were all amazing. I also tried their chia seed pudding and it was so so soooo good! The ingredients were clearly listed as well, which I always enjoy. It's refreshing to know what you're eating. Service is always quick, friendly, and accommodating, and I'm always greeted quickly and with a smile. Although I was only in the area for a short while, I know I'll make a point of coming here in the future if I'm anywhere near this adorable cafe.

I decided to give this place a try because when I Door Dash around Kennett Square in the morning, I get a lot of orders from this place. The aesthetic is very cute and it is a very organized business. The staff is so friendly and the food is well-made and packaged for people to grab and go. I was very excited to see that they had macaroons; they are my favorite dessert. The prices were not bad either: six large macaroons for only $15 and they were absolutely amazing! Definitely the best macaroons I've ever had! I also got a bacon cheddar scone and a hot mocha and overall it was a wonderful experience! I will definitely be returning to Talula's very soon.

Waited a year for our table. Drove an hour. Was hangry when I got there. I was not disappointed. Worth every penny! Every course was amazing! Do yourself a favor and book a table, it's worth the wait.

I see why everyone tries to get a reservation here. The ambiance is so cozy and relaxing. A group of us made a reservation but by the time it came around we lost 3 due to sickness. They were so great in accommodating this change. The wine pairing they recommended was perfect. It was the wonderful girls night that we really needed. Every dish had the most wonderful combination of complex flavors that individually tasted so good and together was just divine. Service was perfect. I can't recommend this place enough. Definitely worth checking for cancellations or just wait a year. Also loved the cookie they send home with each of us. So good.

What a unique dining experience! Reservations at Talula's Table are taken over a year in advance, so you really have to commit (and keep your excitement up) for the duration. My fiancé and I actually kept this reservation in mind when setting our wedding date! We arrived one year later, party of 12 in tow, ready for our culinary adventure. The waitstaff and chefs at Talua's Table have this dining experience down to a science. They host one group per night, every night of the year. The pacing of our dinner was perfect and service was on-point. It was $145 per person (a little steep, considering it's BYOB) but we felt that it was worth the fantastic options we experienced. It's difficult to please every palate, but there were far more "hits" than "misses". It felt like we were in a friend's dining room, talking, laughing, and testing our culinary boundaries. Everything is locally-sourced, made from scratch, and aesthetically pleasing. You know how fast time flies by, right? Gather some friends/family and send them a calendar invite for an unforgettable dining experience at Talula's Table. Because 2018 will be here before you know it!

Talula's is a mainstay in Kennett Square Borough on State Street just off the corner of State and Union. A good selection of sandwiches and salads, pastries and sweets, along with a daily selection of fully cooked and ready to be heated entrees and sides. Oh and the cheeses! Best local cheeses abound. On top of all that there is a freezer section with homemade soups, pastas etc.

Great time, great service and great food. They let you byob so that was perfect. You have to book reservations way in advance cause their so hard to get. But when you do, you'll enjoy an amazing dining experience

This review is specifically about the cafe and shop, not the restaurant. The pastries here are top notch. I dream about the chocolate banana bread and my 9 year old daughter loves their scones. They have marvelous baguettes and it's fun to stop in and pick up a baguette and some cheese for an easy dinner. The to go meals and soups I've tried have all been delicious. It's obvious that this food is lovingly made with local ingredients. I was surprised I liked the winter quinoa salad so much because it seemed like an odd combo of ingredients, but the quinoa with Brussels sprouts and dried fruits really works! They sell excellent cheeses, coffee, and tea. Most of the items here are locally sourced. The coffee bar is also excellent. Talula's is a great addition to Kennett Square and the perfect Main Street store/restaurant.

So it's restaurant week and we chose Talulas. Never have we eaten here before. We got shrimp and grits , salad with the banana bourbon pudding and a side of the "famous mac-n-cheese". So after heating the shrimp and grits, you have to, they give it cold and directions heating. The shrimp was overly cooked tough and had this sour/acidic taste. The grits were good. The shrimp wasn't tender at all from what the description said it would be. We heated the "famous mac-n-cheese" and this was a disappointment. There wasn't really any taste except butter. It was also very dry. This definitely needed some more flavor. This wasn't worth the calories and it's a shame. We had the cornbread which was really sweet with a herb flavor, thinking Tyme it was. Very interesting. We finally tried this desert and the only flavor was the whipped cream. The custard/pudding didn't have much of a flavor and couldn't taste any bourbon. All and all. This was very disappointing and not worth the money spent on over cooked tough shrimp with a sour/acidic taste, very sweet herb cornbread, a dry mac n cheese with no flavor and a desert that taste bland. Its our first time and definitely hesitant to try this place again. Maybe its the pandemic, idk but very disappointed and not satisfied

Something always new to try either fresh baked goods, custom coffees or teas , meals to eat in or take out. Cheese and other treats to give for gifts. Great place to have something memorable to experience

The fall harvest salad is incredible - cheddar, local apples, greens, pecans, dried cranberries, and red wine vinaigrette. Priced at $12

My staple, and my go-to for happy people, great coffee, and to die for pastries and cheeses! Thank you Amy and the talented team for always going over and above in all you do!

As the pandemic wears on, we were getting a little bored of the same old. We decided to try to the Talula's three-course dinner to go and were blown away. Ordering online and pickup was a smooth process--our meal was waiting outside when we arrived. My favorite part of the dinner to go was that it had really good reheating instructions. I prefer my food to be piping hot, so I loved that I didn't feel rushed to eat the second I got home before the meal got cold. I just followed the simple reheating instructions and the food was perfect. I think they choose meals that can be stored and reheated and still taste just as good. And at $26, I thought this was a really good deal. Each course was better than the last. My fiance had the meat option, and I had the vegetarian. They were equally delicious! We're looking forward to doing this again.

Ordering a lunchtime basket was easier and better than expected. It was ready in less than an hour. We had a wonderful meal of snacks, salads and sandwiches to bring to the nearby Longwood Gardens.

There should be a sixth star option for this place. We were fortunate enough to get a reservation recently because a group canceled. We had very high expectations because of the reputation and price. I can tell you that the flavors, atmosphere, service and presentation did not disappoint. The combination of dishes and creative coordination of flavors on each plate was above our expectations. We requested Chef Dylan to introduce himself and subsequently applauded because of his astounding performance. It was interesting to hear his background, influences and why he used each flavor and spice. Katie and others provided world class service at a very reasonable price. I ate at Gordon Ramsey's world class London location in Manhattan and the service at Talula's Table rivaled it. I can't recommend the experience enough!

We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday at Talula's table the other night. They could not have been more kind or accommodating. But that is simply the service aspect. The meal was, without a doubt, one of the finest meals I have ever eaten. From the shot of fresh gazpacho to start the evening to the brown butter cake for dessert, all the dishes were top notch. Especially of note was the wild turbot over black garlic and then bathed in mushroom consommé. The zucchini hush puppies were delightful as well. I get the idea that no matter what season you chose to eat there, the quality of the ingredients would be excellent. To return briefly to the service, I was pleasantly surprised when they easily accommodated a last-minute curveball that I (unfortunately) threw their way. They couldn't have been more understanding and made sure that we all had an excellent experience. Our servers, Donna and Mia were gracious hosts and were always ready to assist with any issue that arose. From varying dietary restrictions to keeping our wine and beer choices flowing, they were the very model of wonderful service. Reserve. Go. Enjoy. You won't be sorry.
