It’s easy to build up an appetite when you’re busy exploring!
Playing, discovering, and learning can be hard work, and sometimes kids need a break to nourish their bodies and replenish their energy for more fun.
The DEcafe is pleased to offer a variety of wholesome options for a light snack or quick lunch.
The Delaware Children’s Museum is committed to reducing processed sugar and offers all-natural, organic options as much as possible, while using fresh local ingredients when in season. Some of the featured brands include Wellshire Farms, Honest Teas, Coleman, Tropical Foods, Vitality, and Green Mountain.
DCM Members show your membership card to receive 10% off all DEcafe purchases.
DEcafe is not peanut-free—please inquire with the cafe manager if you have allergies or other dietary concerns.
DEcafe hours are:
10am-3pm, weekdays
9:30am-3:30pm, weekends and holidays
Outside food and beverage is not allowed into the Museum with the exception of some children’s special dietary needs.
Due to limited seating capacity in the DEcafe, groups larger than six people could consider renting a private room for dining and pre-ordering from the group party menu.
Picnics may be held on the Christina Riverwalk and surrounding areas, but cannot be accommodated inside the Museum.
(We pronounce the word "DEcafe" like "decaf," though its grown-up name is "Delaware Cafe.")
