Coterie Cafe + Kitchen

10/05/2026

Some things are worth the wait.

For several months, we've been working quietly behind the scenes. Today, we get to share what's coming to Coterie Cafe + Kitchen
We're partnering with a pair of chefs who've shaped the way this region eats Andrew Cini and Taylor Payton

Andrew owns Professional Chef Services and is one of the area's most sought-after private chefs and boutique caterers. His kitchens have included Domaine Hudson, where he was chef de cuisine, and Terrain in Glen Mills, where he was executive chef. He'll guide our menu development, private dining, and catering.

Taylor has led kitchens at Wilmington favorites like Eclipse Bistro and Redfire, and most recently was sous chef at Trattoria Carina in Philadelphia. Taylor will run the day-to-day heartbeat of our kitchen.
Here's what that means for you:

A new fall menu arrives later this week

Private dinners are now bookable at the café and online

Off-site banquet catering for your biggest gatherings

Thanksgiving packages for pickup …coming soon.

Limited dinner service…coming soon

Same soul. Bigger table. More Coterie than Wilmington has ever had.
This is only the beginning, and the best is still ahead this fall.

Something new is simmering at Coterie

Our new menu is launching soon, and we're giving you a first taste. We're starting with the soup.

Tomato Tikka Masala Soup.
Garam masala and turmeric warm the tomato. Za'atar croutons bring the crunch. Spiced yogurt finishes the bowl. It's tomato soup that has seen a little more of the world.

One bowl is just the beginning. More announcements Monday. Stay close.

Last night, we had the honor of hosting one of the most meaningful evenings we have ever been a part of.

A private dinner. A celebration of health. A table set with intention, love, and the kind of food that says , without words , how much someone matters.

Chef Andrew Cini crafted every single course around the guest of honor.

Andalusian gazpacho garnished with balsamic "caviar."

Summer in the Garden salad with house-made ricotta, fresh peaches, and cherry purée.

Tomato sorbet intermezzo with fig balsamic, olive oil, and fennel pollen to cleanse and pause.

A Mediterranean branzino — seared sea bass over lentils with a fennel soubise and preserved lemon vinaigrette.

Paris-Brest to finish — regional profiterole with hazelnut-praline filling, raspberry preserves, and chocolate sauce.

Every dish was made exclusively for that evening.

That is what we do here.

If you have a milestone worth celebrating — a birthday, an anniversary, a recovery, a reunion — we would be honored to build an evening around it.

Tonight was one for the books. We had the privilege of hosting an intimate private dinner for a milestone worth truly celebrating, the kind of evening where every course, every detail, every moment felt exactly as it should.

Nights like this are why we do this work. Photos & videos to come.

At Coterie, we believe in showing up for our community even outside our four walls. We’re sharing this fundraiser for Tiffany, a mother in Austin navigating stage IV cancer while raising her son Fox. If you’re able to contribute or simply share, it goes a long way. Thank you 🙏

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.
