Destination? Dolce, Bakery, Coffee Shop, Milford, Delaware, Winner of 2 First Places and One Second Place at The 2014 Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival!!

For some time my friend Debbie has been telling me to stop at Dolce on one of my road trips.  And, that’s exactly what I did the other day.  It was cold and gray as it has been practically all winter, so entering Dolce in the Downtown Milford brought a smile to my face.  Bakeries and coffee shops are a great combination.  This is a trip worth taking.  Only about 25 minutes or so north of Rehoboth Beach.

The heart and center of Milford is the Mispillion River which runs through the town.  Main Street is Walnut, and Dolce is located at 36 N. Walnut St., Milford, DE 19963.  Tel. 302-422-5760.  Website?  http://www.dolcebakery.com.  The bakery is open everyday, but closes on Sunday.  Their busiest day is Saturday.

The owners are Chuck Stanko and George Carroll.  Besides delicious baked goods which by the way are all made in house from scratch and without any trans-fats, they also offer soups accompanied with a home baked roll.  They also serve breakfast sandwiches, as well.  You can visit the above mentioned website to see what soup Dolce will be serving on the day that you might want to visit.

For customers, Dolce offers comfortable seating and free Wi-Fi.

Dolce entered the 2014 Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival and were awarded 2 First Places and one Second Place.  This is not the first time they have won.  It has happened year after year.

The Gooey Chocolate Cookie….you see it here on my plate.  It looks very simple, but once a bite is taken you will be hooked.  That cookie took the First Place on the Cookie Category by a Bakery.

Another First Place was their Stick in the Mud Brownie.  This chocolate brownie is topped with marshmallows and then topped with a chocolate ganache.

The new Philadelphia Butter Cake took the 2nd Place in the Bakery category.

It was great meeting Chuck and he graciously let me take photos.  Check the cupcakes.

The Cheesecakes!  And, Strawberry Granola Bars!

Other baked goods like the Bear Claw and Croissants looked so good!

I sipped my coffee which was exactly what I needed…a pick me upper late in the day.  I had to go but I will be back….Milford is one destination I am interested discovering further.

Dolce is open from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.
