Katriana's Local Insights
Places Katriana recommends — from personal experience in the communities they serve.
Loblolly Acres
3893 Turkey Point Road, Camden Wyoming, DE
“Loblolly Acres is one of those places that feels truly special and very Delaware. What started as a family Christmas tree farm has grown into this beautiful farm and event space where you can enjoy live music, seasonal events, arts performances, and community gatherings throughout the year. I love that it still has that family-farm feel, with the beautiful fields, old Christmas tree farm, animals, and spaces that make you feel like you’re getting away without actually going far. Whether you’re heading there for a concert, pumpkin season, or one of their unique events, Loblolly Acres is such a fun way to experience a little more of the charm and community that makes Central Delaware so special.”
Antique Alley of Bridgeville
18208 Sussex Highway, Bridgeville, DE
“Antique Alley of Bridgeville is one of those places you can easily lose an entire afternoon exploring! With more than 20,000 square feet and over 125 booths, there is so much to see, and every vendor has something a little different. I love the treasure-hunt feeling of walking from booth to booth and never knowing what you’re going to find, whether it’s an antique piece of furniture, home décor, something for a collection, or just a fun little find you didn’t know you needed. It’s definitely one of those local spots where I recommend giving yourself plenty of time to wander and look around. You never know what treasure you’ll walk out with!”
The Crafty Reader
39 North Walnut Street, Milford, DE
“The Crafty Reader is such a cute little gem in downtown Milford! I love that it’s more than just a bookstore, with a mix of new and used books, handmade goods from local artists, and plenty of fun events throughout the year. It has that cozy, personal feel you just don’t get from a big bookstore, and I love being able to browse the shelves while also supporting a local business and local makers. Whether you’re looking for your next great read, a unique gift, or just want to wander around somewhere fun, The Crafty Reader is definitely worth a stop!”
Agape Body Piercings
135 South Bradford Street, Dover, DE
“Agapé Body Piercings is a special one for me because I’ve actually had piercings done by Codi over a decade ago! More recently, I brought my daughter here for her first piercings at just 13 months old, and the entire staff was absolutely amazing. They were so patient and wonderful with her, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the experience. The facility is incredibly clean, and everything from the equipment to the jewelry is the highest quality. Agapé is a place I would wholeheartedly recommend!”
Overgrown Plant Market & Workshop
107 North Walnut Street, Milford, DE
“Overgrown Plant Market & Workshop is such a unique little spot in downtown Milford! What I love most is how intimate it feels and how you get that one-on-one help from the knowledgeable owner. Whether you’re a longtime plant lover or someone who is just trying to keep a houseplant alive, you can get personalized advice and find something that’s perfect for your home. They also offer fun hands-on workshops, including propagation and creating your own unique pots. It’s one of those local spots that feels like so much more than just a plant shop, and definitely worth stopping in to see what they’re up to!”
Southgate Grill
11033 Nicholas Lane, Ocean Pines, MD
“Southgate Grill is one of those spots I love for a laid-back family meal, especially because the kids can actually have fun too! The outdoor bar area sits right along the water, where the kids can feed the fish and turtles while you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Add in some live music playing in the background, and it makes for such a fun, casual evening where everyone can enjoy themselves. It’s family-friendly, relaxed, and feels like one of those local places where you can grab a meal and end up staying awhile. If you’re around Ocean Pines, Southgate Grill is definitely worth a stop!”
Schellville
36470 Seaside Outlet Drive, Rehoboth Beach, DE
“The ultimate holiday celebrations! What started as a small Christmas village has grown into a huge, magical experience with decorated little houses, train rides, snow, Santa, skating, local vendors, and so many fun activities for kids. It is more than just a Christmas light display, it’s a whole experience where you can spend a few hours making memories together. And one of the best parts is that their Enchanted Winter Celebration is free, which makes it an especially fun local tradition for families. They now have fall, halloween, easter, and more seasonal events. Follow on FB so you don't miss a thing!”
Grain on the Rocks
43 Cape Henlopen Drive, Lewes, DE
“Grain On The Rocks is one of those places I love when I’m looking for a fun, laid-back meal with an incredible view. Located right at the Lewes Ferry Terminal, you can sit outside, watch the ferries come and go, and take in the beautiful Delaware Bay while enjoying everything from fresh seafood and crab cakes to burgers and fish tacos. My tip? Get the Crabby Pretzel to start, and plan ahead to grab a coffee from the coffee shop on your way out! The outdoor deck and beer garden make it especially fun in the warmer months, and they also have live music and happy hour, so it’s an easy place to turn a meal into an afternoon or evening out. There’s just something about being right on the water that makes this one feel like a true Delaware experience!”
JZ Farms
6526 Dion Road, Federalsburg, MD
“JZ Farms is one of my favorite places to recommend for a family day trip, especially with little ones! One of my favorite parts is the adorable little tiny town that the kids can explore for hours, with little buildings and spaces that let their imaginations run wild. Our two-year-old especially loves the ropes course and all the opportunities to run, climb, and play. Between the farm animals, jumping pillows, play areas, seasonal activities, and plenty of space to explore, it’s the kind of place where kids can stay busy for hours. It’s just across the Maryland line in Federalsburg, but an easy drive from the Milford area and absolutely worth the trip!”
Crooked Hammock Brewery
36707 Crooked Hammock Way, Lewes, DE
“Crooked Hammock is one of my favorite spots when we want somewhere that the whole family can enjoy. It has such a fun, laid-back backyard feel, with hammocks, cornhole, ping pong, fire pits, and plenty of outdoor space for the kids to play while the adults relax. Of course, they have their own craft beer and a great menu full of cookout-inspired food, but I think what really makes this place special is that you can come for a meal and end up spending the whole afternoon hanging out. They also have live music and fun events throughout the year, so there’s always a reason to come back. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to recommend when you want good food, something cold to drink, and a fun atmosphere all in one place!”
Wilmington Blue Rocks
801 Shipyard Drive, Wilmington, DE
“A Wilmington Blue Rocks game is one of my favorite ways to spend a summer evening with the family! You get the fun of a real professional baseball game without the overwhelming feel (or price) of a major league stadium, and there’s always something going on to keep the kids entertained. Frawley Stadium sits right on the Wilmington Riverfront, making it easy to turn game night into a whole evening out. Between the baseball, fun promotions, Mr. Celery, and the relaxed family atmosphere, it’s such a fun Delaware tradition and a great way to make some memories together.”
Milford Public Library
11 Southeast Front Street, Milford, DE
“The Milford Public Library is so much more than a place to check out books, and it’s one of those community resources I think families sometimes overlook. They have wonderful children’s programs, storytimes, teen activities, adult classes and events, and a full calendar of things happening throughout the year. I especially love that it gives families a free place to learn, explore, and spend time together, with everything from kids’ literacy programs to special community events. Located right along the Mispillion Riverwalk, it’s also a great place to pair with a stroll downtown and enjoy everything Milford has to offer. The library has been part of the Milford community since 1882, and you can really see how it has grown into a true community hub.”
Harvest Tide Steakhouse
410 East Savannah Road, Lewes, DE
“Harvest Tide is one of my personal favorites for a special dinner in the Lewes area. We went here for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. We had the surf and turf medallions, which were incredible, and they surprised us with the most amazing chocolate mousse dessert to finish the evening. The atmosphere is beautiful without feeling stuffy, making it a wonderful choice for a date night, anniversary, or anytime you want dinner to feel a little more special. They’re known for their dry-aged USDA Prime steaks, seafood, creative cocktails, and great bourbon and wine selection, and I also love that they host special events like wine and whiskey dinners throughout the year. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate, this is definitely one I’d recommend!”
Riverwalk Farmers Market
1 South Walnut Street, Milford, DE
“One of my favorite ways to slow down and reset! Located along the Riverwalk in downtown Milford, it’s a great place to pick up fresh, locally grown produce, baked goods, prepared foods, and handmade items while supporting local farmers and small businesses. I love the community feel of the market and how it gives you a reason to wander through town with a coffee in hand. It’s such a fun way to spend a Saturday morning and experience a little more of what makes Milford special!”
Pithari
1 West Main Street, Middletown, DE
“Pithari is such a beautiful spot in downtown Middletown when you’re looking for a meal that feels a little extra special. They serve fresh Mediterranean food with Greek and European influences, using high-quality ingredients and putting a modern twist on traditional flavors. The atmosphere is gorgeous and makes it a great choice for a date night, celebration, or dinner with friends, but it’s also a great place to stop in for lunch or their Sunday brunch. If you love trying new restaurants and want something a little different from the usual, Pithari is definitely one to add to your list!”
Funland Rehoboth
Delaware Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE
“Funland is one of those Rehoboth traditions that just feels like summer at the beach! Located right on the Boardwalk, it has something for everyone, from little ones enjoying the classic kiddie rides to bigger rides, midway games, the arcade, and of course the iconic Haunted Mansion. What I love most is that it’s a place where generations can make memories together. The Fasnacht family has owned and operated Funland since 1962, and five generations of the family have been involved over the years. It’s the kind of place where parents can bring their kids to experience the same rides and games they remember from their own childhood, which is what makes Funland such a special part of Rehoboth.”
Magnolia Mini Farm
Woodlytown Road, Magnolia, DE
“Magnolia Mini Farm is a special one for me because it’s right down the road from where I grew up! I love seeing this little local farm create fun experiences for families and the community. They host unique events like goat yoga, giving you a chance to get outside, spend time with the animals, and do something a little different. It’s such a fun way to enjoy a little country charm right here in our own backyard, and I definitely recommend following them to see what events they have coming up!”
302 Social Eatery and Barroom
70 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE
“302 Social is such a fun spot on Rehoboth Avenue when you’re looking for good food, drinks, and a lively atmosphere. Located upstairs with a great view of the Avenue, it’s the kind of place that works for a casual lunch, dinner with friends, or grabbing a drink and enjoying the energy of downtown Rehoboth. Their outdoor patio is a great spot for people-watching when the weather is nice. It’s a fun addition to the Rehoboth food scene and definitely worth checking out!”
Browseabout Books
133 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE
“Browseabout Books is one of those spots where you can walk in for a book and somehow get completely lost browsing everything else! It’s so much more than a bookstore, with a wonderful selection of kids’ toys and games, gifts, stationery, home décor, and unique little finds. I love that there really is something for everyone, whether you’re shopping for the kids, looking for a gift, or just want to wander around and see what catches your eye. It’s one of those places I can easily spend way more time in than I planned, and that’s part of the fun!”
Charm City Run
200 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE
“Charm City Run in Rehoboth is one of those places where you can tell the staff genuinely wants to help you find the right shoe. Everyone is so friendly, and they take the time to learn about you, evaluate how you move, measure your feet, and work with you to find the best shoe for your body and your needs. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a walker, or just looking for a really comfortable everyday shoe, I love that you’re not simply picking a pair off the shelf and hoping it works. They make the whole experience personal, welcoming, and actually fun!”
Fort Delaware
55 Clinton Street, Delaware City, DE
“Taking a short, scenic ferry ride over to Pea Patch Island to explore Fort Delaware State Park is one of the absolute best family day trips in our little First State! The granite fortress is packed with rich Civil War history and costumed reenactors who bring the past to life. Attend the popular evening bat and paranormal tour and the heart-pounding demonstration of their massive 8-inch Columbiad cannon (my personal favorite). It's one of the largest active Civil War guns fired on the East Coast! I’s an incredible mix of hands-on education, local heritage, and fun for all ages.”
Harrington Public Library
101 Little Mastens Corner Road, Harrington, DE
“The Harrington Public Library is an absolute sanctuary for local families! My toddler could spend hours in the kids’ section—cooking in the playhouse, racing cars, building at the Lego table and wooden train set, or curling up on the couch with a puzzle. Beyond the play area, they feature a fully stocked craft room and even a 3D printer. With a calendar packed with everything from toddler story times to teen STEM activities, it's a true community treasure—be sure to check their website or Facebook page to see what's coming up!”
Pepper's Greenhouse
13034 Cedar Creek Road, Milton, DE
“If you haven't explored Pepper Greenhouses in Milton yet, you're missing out on a gardener's dream. It's my go-to spot because their inventory is massive. From vibrant seasonal flowers and hearty veggie plants to trees, stylish pots, and whimsical garden decor, they carry everything you need to bring your outdoor space to life. No matter what project you're working on, their huge selection makes every trip an adventure! Check the FB page to see Pepper!”
Hopkins Farm Creamery
18186 Dairy Farm Road, Lewes, DE
“Searching for the perfect weekend family tradition? Look no further than Hopkins Farm Creamery. We had such a blast at their Fall Fest—it was packed with unique, hands-on activities that kept the kids entertained for hours! Beyond the seasonal fun, their ice cream is honestly some of the best you’ll find in the area. It’s a quintessential local spot that makes living in Delaware so sweet.”
Paul Morin's Floor & Wall Design
5 Atlantic Avenue, Ocean View, DE
“I always send my clients to Paul Morin's Floor & Wall Design. Having worked alongside the owner at a flooring shop in the past, I can personally vouch for her incredible eye and dedication. Whether you're planning a full kitchen or bathroom overhaul, luxury custom shower remodels, or looking for the perfect window treatments, we can seamlessly team up to design and customize your new space from the ground up.”
First Watch
40 North Dupont Highway, Dover, DE
“Whenever clients ask for a local breakfast recommendation, I always point them toward First Watch in Dover. It’s the perfect spot to fuel up for a day of touring homes. You absolutely have to try the biscuits and turkey sausage gravy—they are comfort food at its best. And if you’re a bacon lover like I am, you’ll appreciate that they always serve it up perfectly crispy. It's a fresh, bright, and delicious way to start any morning in the Capital City. Location in Rehoboth Beach as well!”
The Brush Factory on Kings
830 Kings Highway, Lewes, DE
“Part of the magic of Lewes is discovering incredible local makers, and The Brush Factory on Kings showcases the best of our creative community. Whether you're hunting for a statement antique piece, boutique clothing, or fresh inspiration for your new backyard garden, this charming market on Kings Highway never disappoints.”
Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats
320 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE
“Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats on Rehoboth Avenue is one of those Delaware spots that feels like a must-visit, whether you’re a local or just spending the day at the beach. My personal favorite is the Light of the World pizza. I love that it’s a place where you can grab a casual meal, enjoy the lively atmosphere, and often catch live music on the weekends. It’s a fun Rehoboth staple and definitely one I recommend adding to your local favorites list!”
Birdie's Links & Drinks
320 Autopark Drive, Middletown, DE
“Birdies Links & Drinks is such a fun spot in Middletown when you’re looking for something a little different. The 22+ virtual sports simulators are super cool whether you are looking to train like a pro or have fun with friends, and the blacklight mini golf is a must-try. It’s a great place for a date night, a night out with friends, or even a family outing when you want to do something besides the usual dinner and a movie.”
Kalel Crossfit
320 Mullet Run Street, Milford, DE
“The community here is incredibly encouraging and welcoming, with people cheering each other on and celebrating progress at every level. Whether you’re experienced with CrossFit or completely new to it, it’s a place where you can challenge yourself, meet great people, and feel supported along the way. I love that it feels like a true community, not just a gym!”
Farmacy Market
301 Northeast Front Street, Milford, DE
“Farmacy Market is one of my favorite places in Milford to wander in and see what I can find. It’s a locally owned specialty market with an amazing mix of fresh produce, meats, seafood, cheeses, bakery items, sweets, pantry staples, and unique local and specialty products. They also have a great selection of gourmet kitchen and gift items, so it’s one of those places where you can stop in for grocery staples and somehow leave with a new favorite snack, a fun gift, or something you didn’t even know you needed! I love that they make supporting local farms and makers feel easy while still offering plenty of unique finds you won’t see at a traditional grocery store.”
Blessing Greenhouses
Sugar Hill Road, Milford, DE
“Blessing Greenhouses Farm Stand is one of my go-to spots for plants and seasonal goodies. I especially love stopping here in the spring and summer for potted plants and hanging baskets, and they always have a great selection of locally grown produce and vegetable plants if you’re looking to add a little garden-to-table goodness at home. Come fall, it’s also one of my favorite places to pick out pumpkins, with a huge variety and the whole farm stand decorated so beautifully for the season. It’s one of those local spots that makes you excited for whatever season is coming next!”
Benvenuto
249 Northeast Front Street, Milford, DE
“Benvenuto is one of our go-to spots in Milford when we’re celebrating something special, especially for Valentine’s Day or an anniversary. It has that perfect moody atmosphere for a date night, whether you’re marking a big occasion or just want a really good meal together. I always save room for dessert! Pairing one of their desserts with Benvenuto coffee is the perfect way to end the night. With seasonal menu changes, it's one of those restaurants that feels special enough for a celebration while still being a place you can come back to again and again.”
My Sister's Fault
10 Southwest Front Street, Milford, DE
“My Sister’s Fault is one of my favorite places to send people when they want to try something a little different in Milford. This Puerto Rican-inspired bakery and eatery is owned by two sisters, with one sister bringing all the sweet treats and the other creating the savory side of the menu. Everything is full of flavor, but my personal favorite is the chalupas! The empanadas, rice platters, and homemade Puerto Rican bread are also delicious, but honestly, save room for dessert. From tres leches and flan to guava pastries, quesitos, and their rotating specialty cakes, the desserts alone are worth the stop. It’s a true local gem and one I love introducing people to!”
Tre Sorelle Dolce Ice Cream & Italian Ice
27 South Railroad Avenue, Wyoming, DE
“Tre Sorelle Dolce is one of those local spots that is so much more than just an ice cream shop. You can grab a scoop, Italian ice, milkshake, or even a waffle with ice cream, then spend the evening playing a round of mini golf while the kids run around and enjoy the outdoor yard games. I love the relaxed outdoor setup, especially the gazebo seating, and they regularly have live music, fundraisers, themed nights, and other unique events that make every visit feel a little different. It’s such a fun family-friendly spot, but honestly, you don’t need kids to enjoy an ice cream and mini golf night here!”
Sweet Melissa Bakery & Coffee Shop
5407 Peterson Road, Middletown, DE
“Sweet Melissa is such a fun spot in Middletown for a coffee date, a sweet treat, or picking up something special for a celebration. I love that what started as Melissa’s home baking business grew into this beautiful bakery and coffee shop, with everything from their famous cake pops and cupcakes to pastries, macarons, cookies, and seasonal treats. The shop is decorated for the holidays and always feels like a little experience in itself, especially if you’re bringing the kids. And of course, grab a coffee while you’re there and take a few minutes to enjoy the space!”
The House of Coffi
E Loockerman St, Dover, DE
“The House of Coffi is one of my favorite little gems in downtown Dover. Tucked into a historic building on Loockerman Street, it has that cozy, welcoming feel that makes you want to stay for a while, whether you’re grabbing coffee on the go or meeting a friend for a catch-up. Their coffee is freshly roasted here in the Mid-Atlantic, and I love the local touches, from the artwork on the walls to the vinyl records playing in the background. It’s the kind of independent, community-focused spot that makes downtown Dover feel special, and definitely one worth adding to your local coffee list!”
Piazza Mia Italian Bar & Grill
492 South Red Haven Lane, Dover, DE
“Piazza Mia is one of those local spots I always love recommending, especially because I have a little history here. I used to work at Piazza Mia, so I know firsthand that this family-owned restaurant puts a lot of heart into what they do. Locals know it’s technically in Camden, even though it's address is Dover, and it’s the perfect spot for just about any occasion, from a nice date night to pizza night with the whole family. Be sure to follow them on Facebook for special events and fun evenings like Sinatra Night! For a filling dinner I recommend spinach and artichoke dip, lobster ravioli, and a scoop of chocolate hazelnut gelato. If you are in the mood for a salty, savory pizza try the Pizza Mia (it has prosciutto, balsamic, and topped with arugula!”
La Hacienda
18 South Walnut Street, Milford, DE
“One of my favorite spots for Mexican food in Milford is La Hacienda. The menu has plenty of great options, but the corn cake is a must and the birria is absolutely delicious. It’s one of those local places I love recommending to clients and friends when they’re looking for a casual, flavorful meal in town. If you’re exploring Milford and want to try somewhere local, add La Hacienda to your list! Check for daily specials like kids eat free night!”
Fifer's
1919 Allabands Mill Road, Camden Wyoming, DE
“Fifer’s Farm Store & Kitchen in Camden-Wyoming is one of those places that feels like a true taste of Delaware. I especially love their seasonal fruit ice cream, with flavors that change with the harvest as well as the apple cider slushies! But it’s more than just ice cream. You can U-Pick seasonal fruits, flowers, and pumpkins, let the kids enjoy the U-Play activities, and come back throughout the year for festivals and special events like the Summer/Sunflower Fest, and Fall Fest. It’s the combination of fresh fruit, farm activities, festivals, and that seasonal ice cream that makes Fifer’s such a special place to me.”
North Pole Creamery
10 South Walnut Street, Milford, DE
“If you're looking for a sweet taste of true Delaware heritage, Vanderwende Farm Creamery's new Milford location is a must-visit. Their dairy goes straight from their multi-generational family farm into crafting ultra-rich ice cream, thick milkshakes, and one-of-a-kind flavors. It’s fresh, friendly, and exactly the kind of local gem that makes living in Milford so special!”
