Mezzaluna KSQ
Pizza restaurant on South Mill Road, just off the downtown grid. Pies plus the rest of the Italian lineup.
A mushroom-farming town that then landed the toughest restaurant reservation in the country. State Street runs past a shop devoted to mushrooms, a September festival that takes over downtown, and Talula's Table, booked a year out the morning it opens.

Pizza restaurant on South Mill Road, just off the downtown grid. Pies plus the rest of the Italian lineup.
Pizzeria on East South Street holding a 4.8, which pizza places almost never manage. Pies, strombolis, and the red-sauce lineup, mostly built for takeout.
Latin American fried snacks and quick plates from a counter on South Union Street. A one-thing operation, and the one thing is done well.
Family-owned diner out on West Baltimore Pike where breakfast is served all day. Lunch too, and nothing fancier than it needs to be.
Sit-down Mexican restaurant on West State Street in downtown Kennett Square. The long-menu kind, good for a table that can't agree.
A proper tea room on East State Street, pouring loose-leaf by the pot with scones to match. There's a shop wall of teas to take home, too.
A new stall at The Market at Liberty Place, making juices and smoothies to order from real fruit and vegetables. The grand opening was July 19, 2026, so regular status is still up for grabs.
A neighborhood brewery and taproom on Birch Street, a short walk from the Creamery. The house board runs hop-forward to malty, with new pours rotating through.
The pub tucked inside the Market at Liberty Place on West State Street, pouring drafts and pub plates. Somewhere to land when the food-hall counters get loud.
A small coffee bar off South Mill Road, away from the State Street crowd. Come for espresso and a calm place to drink it.
Kennett Square is the mushroom capital of the country, and this West State Street shop leans all the way in — dried mushrooms, local mushroom products, and a small exhibit on how they grow. The unofficial gift shop of a mushroom town.
Oriental rug shop on South Broad Street, dealing hand-knotted rugs alongside cleaning and repair. A specialized little corner of downtown retail.
An outdoor outfitter on West State Street with gear for hikes and cold mornings. The staff actually use what they sell.
Militaria and collectibles from a Kennett Square dealer: helmets, medals, field gear. 'Stahlhelm' is the German word for those steel helmets, which tells you the house specialty.
A butcher shop and market on S Walnut Street, with a case of cut-to-order meats and shelves of local provisions. There's a deli counter for sandwiches, too.
A downtown jewelry case at 123 W State that mixes new pieces with antique finds and gifts. Not to be confused with Bove Jewelers directly across the street — Kennett keeps two jewelers within waving distance.
Guided walking food tours of downtown Kennett Square, hitting a handful of restaurants and shops in one afternoon. A good way to eat your way through State Street and pick up the town's history along the way.
45 acres at the meeting of the Red Clay and Bucktoe creeks, part of an Audubon-designated Important Bird Area and a 30-year Cornell Lab of Ornithology bird study. The 47-foot Chandler Mill Bridge, on the National Register of Historic Places, reopened to walkers and bikes in 2020; no dogs on the trails.
A cat cafe and adoption center on West State Street where you book a slot to hang out with the residents. Every cat in the room is up for adoption.
86 acres and four miles of trails through fields and woodlands, home to a 300-year-old oak, saved from a housing development when neighbors and the Land Conservancy bought the land outright. Open dawn to dusk with leashed dogs welcome; mountain bikes and horses (ride-in only) too.
A boutique hotel on Birch Street, just off downtown Kennett Square's State Street. It's one of the newer places to stay in the borough.
A disc golf course inside Anson B. Nixon Park on the north side of Kennett. Wooded and free to play, it is an easy way to spend a morning outdoors.
The Mushroom Capital of the World, with Longwood Gardens next door and a State Street that eats far above its population. Small borough, serious table.
