I appreciate the awesome beverages and little cookies you provide. Your extra large beverage size is awesome! Ordering via Uber is always seamless, with drivers delivering with care because you ensure this each and everytime. Dilly’s Cafe is my go-to spot not just for meals, but for beverages because of your consistent attention to detail ensuring delivery care. Thank you!

Nice peeps doing coffee. You know it’s good coffee when it’s 8am on a Saturday morning, there’s no station or other shops to go to (the laundromat next dear is excellent though) and there’s other coffee options around but it’s a good steady busy for customers. I just took another sip of coffee. Can confirm it’s good. Nice decor inside. And it’s warm inside on this cold morning.

The Kenefe French toast is to die for! Good coffee with nice selection of baked goods. Reasonable pricing. Note: all the food is halal.
