Bake Shops, Breakfast, Restaurants, Baked Goods, Coffee, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, Open for Breakfast
I know you might not be able to think on New Year’s Day, so let me help you a bit. Dowtown Rehoboth Beach has 3 very good and very different bakeries; all with their own unique specialties. One thing in common is that they do offer coffee, and come New Year’s Day, well, that might be something very much needed.
Are you staying in a hotel in Rehoboth? Or, crashing at a friend’s house? All these bakeries are pretty much within walking distance if you are staying in town. Well, you might want to drive to Pasqualini’s. So, let’s get down to business.
Pasqualini’s Bakery is located at 375 Atlantic Avenue, Rehoboth Beach. Tel. is 302-227-2111, 302-227-1086. They are right behind the Crystal Restaurant. Their website is www.pasqualini.com.
I stopped and found out that they will be open for business all week-end. Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. On Sunday, they will be selling all their baked goods at 50%. Yes, they are taking off until March when they will open the week-end of the Chocolate Festival.
The bakery smelled delicious; they all do. Their coffee cakes are shipped all over the country.
Beautiful pies were displayed and I was drooling.
The fresh baked breads looked amazing.
The Bake Shoppe is located at 222 Rehoboth Ave., tel. 302-226-0176. They have been in this location for 12 years and continue to open year-round.
When I stopped for that brief visit, they were peeling apples, already plenty of baked goods were gone and they were getting ready for a busy week-end.
They are the home of the Split Cream Donut, which I had the pleasure of eating completely when I wrote a post on 9/6/10. If you want to see that post just click on the month of September, 2010 and scroll down to the date.
It is a full service bake shop.
Cake Break is located at 7 South First St., tel. is 302-260-9264. Website is www.cakebreakrehoboth.com. They are on Twitter and Facebook.
I have written about this bake shop several times but the first one was on 8/20/10. If you would like to see it just click on the month of August 2010 and scroll down to the date.
Cake Break was referred to me by Rachel Rockstarr, who had been reading my blog. Of the 3 bakeries, this one is the only one that can claim to be completely a nut free facility. This is important because anyone with a nut allergy can safely go into the bake shop.
They also open every day of the week. New chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies were out.
The Christmas cookies were staring at my face. I resisted, though.
The cinnamon rolls and croissants were out too but I continued with my will power.
Known for their cupcakes, they are also happy to announce that they can offer a gluten free/vegan cupcake with icing. They are the only ones offering them at the Delaware Beaches.
If you happen to be in Rehoboth around the hour of 3 p.m., that’s when their breads come out of the oven. They call it Aroma Bread Therapy; you know that there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread. Please stop by and enjoy.
Also they have lots of specials in the local papers. Check them out, as well.
I left with a good cup of coffee and 4 gluten free/vegan cupcakes with icing. We have enjoyed them and are pretty much gone.
The gentleman that I spoke to was buying a box full of cupcakes for his guests this week-end. They looked delicious and I hope he enjoyed them, as well.
If you are looking for a full breakfast experience then I know of a couple of places:
The Crystal Restaurant opens every day. They are located at 620 Rehoboth Ave. Tel. 302-227-1088. Plenty of parking and plenty of breakfast choices for the whole family.
I wrote a post on 8/13/09. I had just started my blog. No, I don’t have pictures of my breakfast. I guess I have to gather a few of those friends of mine and meet there soon. If you want to see that post just click on August 2009 and scroll down to the date.
Greenman Juice Bar & Bistro located at 12 Wilmington Ave. is also open this week-end. Tel. is 302-227-4901. They are also open for lunch. You can find them on Facebook.
I wrote a post on 12/17/10 and if you would like to see it, please click on the month of December and scroll down to the date.
One of these days I will have to break down and have that amazing French Toast they offer.
I hope those choices help. You won’t be dissappointed…..Again, a New Year….full of hope and possibilities….Have a good One!!!!
