Great quality of roasted coffee. They clearly do an excellent job roasting the beans. I always grab a bag of Ethiopian beans when I go for a latte. And best of all they let your dog come inside.

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.

Best coffee shop in Newark! The Ethiopian I had was excellent. Starbucks pales in comparison to this cafe. Not a ton of seating indoors but still a nice place to hang out. The roast their own coffee right in the store which is a huge plus to getting fresh coffees.

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).

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.

Great, local roaster in the downtown Newark area. We ordered a dirty house chai and the autumn spice latte and they were both great. We highly highly recommend the autumn spiced (seasonal) latte made with a spiced maple syrup!

Cozy quaint vibe with a great espresso selection. Lacking in breakfast options which is a bit of a bummer. Pretty limited seating if youre looking to hang out for a bit. Otherwise, quaint and pleasant with a nice staff.

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.

Review №25

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!!

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

I cant say enough about the excellence this tiny roaster throws down. I will drive out of my way, passing wawa and dunkin, to get to this cafffinated oasis off the main street in Newark. I would give them six stars.

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).

Great new coffee place, I have bought many bags of coffee beans from them since they opened. A great new addition to the area. High quality well roasted beans, and a cool little coffee shop. Only thing I would like to see added is a roasted on date on the bags ;)

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.

Review №66

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.

Review №69

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.

Review №70

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.

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.

Review №74

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.

Review №75

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.

Review №77

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.

Review №81

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.

Review №82

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.

Review №87

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!

Review №88

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.

Review №89

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.

Review №91

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.

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!!

Review №96

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.

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.
