Big congrats to Nakeyla Peralta! 🎉

Nakeyla joined the Coterie team just two weeks ago, and she’s already made her mark. Sharp, hardworking, professional and a natural fit in the kitchen from day one.

Even bigger news: she’s graduating from the Food Bank of Delaware culinary school. That’s discipline, that’s grit, and we couldn’t be prouder to have her with us as she reaches this milestone.

Two weeks in and already an asset to this team. Welcome to the family, Nakeyla. This is just the beginning.

We are incredibly proud to officially introduce Chef Richard Herrera, Coterie CafĂ© + Kitchen’s Chef de Cuisine!

Since joining Coterie, Richard has grown in ways that have been pretty incredible to watch. He came to us ready to learn and embraced every opportunity that followed—taking on new challenges with humility and determination, constantly pushing himself to grow, and stepping up whenever his team needed him. Through some of our busiest days, biggest challenges, and moments of change, Richard quietly became the steady, dependable force behind our kitchen—the person we knew we could count on to show up, keep moving forward, and help hold everything together.

We have had the incredible privilege of watching Richard grow from someone just beginning his journey in the kitchen, into a talented cook, and now into a really wonderful leader.

If you know Richard, you know he has this incredible ability to bring calm to the chaos (which, during a busy Coterie brunch, is basically a superpower). But what makes him so special to us goes far beyond what happens on the line. He encourages his teammates, celebrates their successes, leads by example, and genuinely cares about the people working alongside him—yes, including the post-shift texts reminding everyone what a great job they did.

And that matters to us.

Coterie has always been about more than really good food. It’s about creating a place where people feel cared for—our guests, our neighbors, and our team. Richard understands that, and we couldn’t be more excited to have someone who so genuinely embodies that spirit stepping into this role.

As Chef de Cuisine, Richard will lead the day-to-day operations of our kitchen and help ensure that the food, hospitality, quality, and attention to detail you know and love continue to show up on every plate.

This promotion is incredibly well deserved, and we are so excited for what it means for Richard, our team, and this next chapter of Coterie.

So, next time you’re in, help us embarrass him just a little and congratulate Chef Richard. We are so proud of you, Richard. Congratulations, Chef. You earned this.

We’ve been quiet for a reason.

Behind the counter, behind the calendar, behind closed doors — Coterie has been building something bigger than breakfast.

Fall is going to look different around here. Same soul. New scale.

More ways to taste what we do. More Coterie than Wilmington’s had before.

New partnerships. New names alongside ours. More on that soon.

Stay close. This one’s worth the wait — and the story starts below.

2,000 of you on Instagram

We started as a little cafĂ© on West 7th Street with a big idea and a lot of hope. And somehow, one plate at a time, one morning at a time, one conversation at a time — you found us.

To every follower, every regular, every first-timer who drove from another state, every guest who left a kind word or brought someone new through our door — this milestone belongs to you as much as it belongs to us.

2,000 followers. 18 months. 20 seats.

We are just getting started

We just closed out the first half of 2026.

And we have to pause and take that in for a moment.

Eighteen months ago we opened the doors of a 20-seat café on West 7th Street with nothing but a vision, a lot of hard work, and an unwavering belief that Wilmington deserved something different.

What has happened since has exceeded every expectation we had.

This has been our strongest first half ever. Not by a little. By a lot.

Every record we set, we break. Every milestone we reach, there is another one ahead. And none of it happens without the community that has embraced Coterie in a way we never could have imagined.

To every guest who has waited in line, left a kind word, driven from another state, or brought someone new through our door , this is yours as much as it is ours.

The second half of 2026 is going to be even bigger. We are just getting started.

Thank you!!! ❀❀❀

Some guests arrive by chance. Some leave as regulars.

Peter and his family stayed at an Airbnb around the corner for three nights. The first morning they stopped in for convenience. The second and third mornings they came back because they wanted to.

Three breakfasts. Three lunches. Same table. Same warmth. Same food that Peter described as "refined, tastefully conceived and outstandingly executed."

And our hash browns? Peter called them "delectable and yummy potato cakes with a brown and crispy outside on a bed of green roquette."

Peter — we couldn't have said it better ourselves. Thank you for spending three mornings with us. This is exactly why we do what we do.

If you're ever in Wilmington again, you already know where to find us. 🙏

🌈 It’s that time of year.

Our Rainbow Bagel is back for a limited time in celebration of Pride Month — and it’s every bit as bold, beautiful, and unapologetic as it should be.

Available now while they last. Come get yours and celebrate with us.

Last Friday, we had the honor of hosting Wilmington TALES for the third time.

The theme this month was life changing stories. And life changing it was.

There is something profoundly beautiful about a room full of strangers becoming a community through the simple act of telling the truth. No scripts. No performance. Just real people, real stories, 5 minutes at a time and the kind of vulnerability that makes you remember why human connection matters.

We are so grateful to Sarah Lester for continuing to bring this incredible event to our space. What you have built is rare and Wilmington is better for it.

To everyone who showed up, shared, and listened — thank you. This is exactly the kind of community Coterie was built to hold.

Until next time.

We live in a time where almost every headline feels urgent. Every scroll brings another thing designed to make us angry, scared, or certain about something we weren’t thinking about five minutes ago.

And yet , every single day at Coterie Cafe + Kitchen, we watch something different happen.

People come in, sit down, and just
 exist together. The retired guy at the counter next to the young professional. The couple on their third date next to the solo person with their book. Nobody’s performing anything. They’re just having breakfast or lunch.

We built this place partly because we believe in that. A room where the noise quiets down. Where the most contested thing is whether you want the Ricotta French Toast or the fried polenta & mushroom wrap.

We don’t know what the answers are to the big stuff. We don’t think any of us do, fully. But we do know that shared tables have a way of reminding us we have more in common than the algorithm wants us to believe.

Come in. Eat something good. Talk to a stranger.

That’s always been the point.

See you soon!!
