Fancy Strawberry Cafe sits along New Castle’s charming Mill Street as a casual spot where locals come for more than just coffee—they drop in to soak up a relaxed, friendly vibe paired with a menu that blends classic café staples and playful treats. The interior carries a subtle strawberry theme that adds a light, cheerful touch without feeling kitschy, making it comfortable whether you’re meeting a friend or grabbing a solo break.

The café’s strength lies in its well-crafted coffee options, from straightforward americanos and cappuccinos to more adventurous flavored lattes like strawberry-hazelnut iced coffee. The coffee here strikes a nice balance between solid everyday brews and sweeter, refreshingly light choices that appeal to a broad crowd. Many locals appreciate that the staff approach their craft with care, preparing drinks that reflect classic styles—like an Italian-style cappuccino that satisfies those who value authenticity.

Beyond coffee, the freshly baked muffins—ranging from blueberry to strawberry cheesecake—have earned a loyal following, making Fancy Strawberry a go-to for a morning bite or a light afternoon snack. The sandwich offerings lean towards comfort food, with tuna and chicken salad sandwiches being popular picks, especially when paired with something like the café’s lavender lemonade, perfect for a warm afternoon.

The atmosphere encourages lingering. There’s a sense of community here, where customers often feel at ease to relax, chat, or quietly watch the slower pace of New Castle life through a window. It’s not uncommon to see families stopping in for ice cream treats alongside their coffee, making it a versatile spot for different times of day and reasons to visit. Weekday mornings and early afternoons bring in solo regulars and small groups looking for a break from the daily rush, while weekends tend to be a family-friendly buzz.

Visitors who appreciate a moderate pace and a welcoming, low-key setting will find Fancy Strawberry fits well into the local coffee culture. Whether it’s a quick stop before work, a casual lunch, or a sweet treat after running errands, the café offers a genuine neighborhood feel, centered around good coffee and simple, satisfying food options.

A cute strawberry-themee cafe with nice local vibes. The staff are friendly, and the tomato blossom that I had was incredibly fresh. The strawberry-hazelnut iced coffee I had was sweet and refreshing too. Definitely will be back again in a few weeks after my next dentist appointment lol

When I first found this place I had been looking for a spot to great coffee, not only did I find what I was looking for I was blessed meeting what I call now Family! The Fancy strawberry is now my go to coffee and ice cream spot for the nieces and nephews when they come in town! These people love to put a smile on the face of customers and show the love of God thick and through to all who come!

I found a cozy little nook this summer where I can go alone or with a friend to enjoy comfort food, a refreshing drink, and sometimes even a sweet treat or two. My favorite is their tuna or chicken salad sandwich with lavender lemonade. As I eat my food I can relax and look out at my quaint hometown and reflect on bygone days of a simpler time when life wasn't quite so hectic. A time when we could actually sit and enjoy being in the company of a good friend or two. The Fancy Strawberry is like being in the company of a good friend; it invites you to linger a while, sip your lemonade, relax, and enjoy life.

My boyfriend and I have started coming here recently, and our third visit basically confirmed that it was our new spot! I should’ve taken more photos because this place has a cute little dining room area and beautiful windows to sit in front of The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is bright and nostalgic. Think something like early 2000s Strawberry Shortcake vibes The food (especially the baked goods), you can tell is made with care and a lot of thought behind the recipes. I’ve tried the ice cream, and they have so many tasty and sweet choices for toppings that you’ll be able to try out a ton of different combos. The drinks have some variety too; different styles of coffees and mochas, boba tea and milk (my favorites!!). They also have this unique drink called Joba Boba, that I tried recently. It’s like a soda pop boba/float drink, and it was AMAZING, I didn’t realize how fast I drank it We will for sure be back, and I’m planning on showing my best friend this place as well! I can’t recommend this place enough, thank you for bringing a spot like this to New Castle

Wonderful place!!! My matcha boba was delicious and sweet, there were high-quality games to borrow, and the employees were super friendly and knew just what to recommend us. We'll be visiting again hopefully!
