Located on Williams St just east of Sandusky St, next to the BP. There is paid public parking on the other side of the BP. Good food, made to order. A half of a sandwich with a fountain drink came to $11 after the tip.

Service was great and the food was hot and fresh! We had the bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich and it was wonderful.

Not my normal fare but when in Delaware go to the cafe that has the local boys name on it (19th President Rutherford B. Hayes was born right next to the cafe). It was a walk up counter, self serve coffee. Mostly breakfast sandwiches (I love going out for breakfast, never get a sandwich). I had a meat lovers sammy. Bacon, ham and sausage with cheese and egg on a bagel. The sausage was chunks cut from a Polish or Italian sausage, not breakfast sausage.

The bacon egg cheese bagel sandwich was bland. The smoked.sauasage breakfast sandwich had no taste. Would not recommend.

All you're missing in life is the Smokey Sandusky sandwich! My daughter enjoyed her grilled cheese while the adults put away three Smokey Sandusky sandwiches! Enjoyed every bite. If you haven't had Lebanon bologna before this would be a whole new experience. We love to buy it in Amish country to use on charcuterie boards at home. The horseradish pickles don't taste much like horseradish, they are just so good. The cafe is small so you might have to wait for a seat, but it's Order-at-the-counter fare!

Great spot for breakfast sandwiches. Staff was very friendly and we got our food fast.

I will miss this beautiful little spot more than most now that I'm no longer working in the area. The sandwiches and salads are wonderful and wonderfully priced. Everything I've ordered from here has been packed full and tasty. The owners are superb and work the line along with their staff. Super friendly and informative when asking about menu items. Everything is customizable, and yet your food comes quickly. I'll always try to stop back next time I'm in Delaware!

I met family here for the second time recently because of their varied menu that offers vegan options. They have a great menu of various sandwiches, breakfast and lunch type. They are reasonably priced and they have chips and fountain drinks with a few other drink selections. And good bread, makes all the difference on a good sandwich ? It's nice for a cafe type meal. There's seating inside but not tons so if it's busy it could be hard to find a seat. I'll probably be back in the near future :)Vegetarian options: They have a few options which are vegan friendly in salad, breakfast and salad menus. It's very nice to have more than one option in a restaurant.

Great breakfast and lunch. Only thing that would make them better is if they had a couple soups on offer. Small space with some seating, though I usually do grab and go. Friendly staff.

The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We came here by accident, and it turned out to be a very fortunate accident. Try The Rutherford Cafe out when you're in Downtown Delaware!
