Greenman Juice Bar & Bistro, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Organic, Gourmet, Restaurant, Review, Delaware Beaches
Always looking for a place to have something to eat; a unique place with a different ambiance. Debbie and I got together before I left to come to Florida to sort of catch up like good friends always like to do. I was surprised when she told me that she had never been to Greenman Juice Bar & Bistro; afterall, even though she is not a native, she practically could be.
Greenman is located at 12 Wilmington Ave., about one block from the beach. Tel. is 302-227-4909. No website, but if you are on Facebook, you can become their friend and check out what’s going on at this very popular local spot.
Late breakfast, early lunch that was about the time we got there. A little quiet but that quickly changed. The restaurant is definitely small, but you would not want it any other way. Tables are available and in good weather you can also sit out on their porch. Just sit yourself and someone will come to your table quickly. A board behind their counter will show some of their teas, smoothies, and organic drinks that are available.
For such a small restaurant they offer a wide variety of foods; gourmet sandwiches, soups, quiches, salads, and burgers, among other things on the menu.
On that particular day Debbie had the daily quiche. Nice size and she said that it was very good.
I had a panini breakfast sandwich with cheese. The eggs were light and the cheese in it did not overpower the panini.
Then, our eyes followed the waiter to the next table. You could not help to stare. We were in close proximity. What was that? It was huge. Well, it was their homemade Pumpkin Creme Brulee French Toast. I just could not help myself and asked the gentleman before he plunged his fork into this amazing French toast if I could take a picture for my blog. He happily agreed.
We drank coffee and tea and enjoyed our company. I always find that my relationships with my friends are priceless and sharing a meal with them is just the best. Lucky, actually is how I feel.
A few days later I decided to take my son Michael for lunch at Greenman. Just like Debbie, he had never been. I knew he would fall in love with it, which he did. He then just took Erica yesterday as snow was falling in Rehoboth Beach. She loved it just as much. It reminded them of the undergraduate years just left behind in Boulder, Colorado. Greenman could have fit in Boulder perfectly.
Please remember that Greenman is open from Thursdays to Mondays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. through the New Year. They also have take out and are still taking orders for holiday baked goods.
Have a great week-end…….talk to you later…
