Della’s 5 & 10 is a well-known shop on Washington Street Mall and a favorite spot for visitors and locals alike. Recently, the store has gone through noticeable changes. Under new ownership, it has become a much better shopping experience, offering a wide variety of items that exceed expectations. The store now features many products for sale, and the staff are described as very friendly and helpful. Although it is not open for the season yet, a new coffee and ice cream counter is planned, adding to the store’s appeal. Many customers appreciate the positive transformation and recommend stopping by. However, some reviews express disappointment. One person mentioned that the store looks sad and dated, resembling a dollar store, with old and poorly organized inventory. The front window displays mannequins dressed in retro styles, which some find tacky. Others note that the store feels less stocked than before, with shelves empty of popular Cape May souvenirs like shirts and hats, possibly due to supply issues. This change is seen as a decline from its previous lively and vibrant state, making it less of a must-visit than it used to be. Overall, Della’s 5 & 10 has improved under new ownership but still faces criticism for its current appearance and inventory shortages. Despite this, it remains a recognizable part of Cape May’s shopping scene.
We stopped in this Cape May shop since we were in the area shopping :) Found a few cool things in this old time place. Plenty of paid street parking. I'll be back

Lots of great stuff to make very nice gifts. Have to stop in and check it out.

The shelves in this place were nearly empty with random low grade merchandise. Seems like it was going out of business.
