During my recent trip to Delaware, I had the chance to stop by Little Goat Coffee Roasting—a local coffee spot that’s clearly more than just a café.
Address: 16 Haines St, Newark, DE 19711
The first thing that struck me was the line stretching out the door. People were patiently waiting, chatting, and smiling—like they knew the coffee at the end of that wait was worth every minute. It immediately told me something: this place wasn’t just popular, it was beloved.
What made the scene even more surprising was the big brand coffee shop just around the corner. Its seats were empty, lights on but no buzz of community. Meanwhile, Little Goat was packed, alive with energy, and full of regulars and first-timers alike.
I later learned that Little Goat Coffee Roasting has been around for seven years. Clearly, they’ve built not just a customer base, but a loyal following who prefer authenticity, quality, and connection over convenience.
Watching the crowd, sipping on my own cup, I realized it’s places like these that remind me why I’ve been drawn deeper into the world of coffee. It’s about more than caffeine—it’s about community, craft, and the joy of finding a spot that makes you feel like you belong.
If you ever find yourself in Delaware, be prepared for the line—but trust me, it’s worth it.
