Governors Cafe

Sitting on the front porch on a clear spring day with fully blooming trees and the scent of fresh flowers:PERFECT! What an historic and significant setting for a restaurant. We had salads that were tasty and served quickly for our executive lunch on a weekday. Asparagus and chicken that was tender and covered with pesto. This is a new favorite place for me in Dover. The room with the Governor pictures is awesome!

I love the atmosphere of this place. Very spacious, big windows letting in all the light. It’s super cute. Their breakfast burritos are HUGE, and we love the $4 mimosas on the weekend. They also have $5 Bloody Mary’s if you’re into that. This is the kind of place I’d bring friends to for a nice calm morning breakfast/lunch or even just alone with a book for coffee and food. It’s a favorite.

This place is such a gorgeous property and you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The service was excellent and seating area was cozy and bright. I just had a black coffee which was pretty good, just needed a pick-me-up. My friends got the breakfast sandwiches which looked delicious. We sat by the fireplace which was a really nice touch especially given how cold it was that day. I am from Northern Delaware but if I lived around here this would definitely be one of my regular spots.

Great place for lunch or dinner or to linger over a drink and some delicious crab dip. Have had lunch and dinner here many times and stopped in for happy hour too! Soup and half sandwich combos are great for lunch or light dinner. Service is attentive and always with a smile and the food has never disappointed. Don't miss the tomato basil soup! Portions are right-sized for right price. Desserts are delicious and portions big enough to share.

Very unique atmosphere with a lot of beautiful wood decor and large fireplace. Can't say everyday that you dined in an old governor's mansion either. There's a restaurant, bar area and a little coffee shop/cafe. The food is pretty tasty and reasonably priced. Vegetable portions are oddly skimpy. Service is friendly and quick.
