On this Sunday morning, this post begins with breakfast. So, Good Morning to you too!! I am sure that you will be trying to find a breakfast spot in Rehoboth Beach. There are plenty; I have my favorites. The Point is one of them.
The Point is located at 37140 Rehoboth Ave. Extended. Right where Rt 1 (Coastal Highway) meets 1A. Tel. 302-260-9734.
I am sure that by now you are realizing how important parking becomes at the Delaware Beaches during the height of the season. The Point has plenty of parking. No hassle, just pull in.
It is such a quaint building. Outdoor seating is also available. The umbrellas will be up; don’t worry.
The Point opens at 7 a.m. and stays open until late in the afternoon. It also offers lunch, with delicious sandwiches, soups, quiches, and salads.
Beyond dispute; one thing for sure is the fact that breakfast should taste very good. It is the first meal after a long night sleep.
The Point is a full coffee house; coffee, lattes, and iced coffees, among other coffee drinks. Coffee is my daily addiction. I want it bold.
Even though the other day Tom was not there, the staff was very friendly and attentive.
The Point bakes everything in-house. Sticky buns, cinnamon buns; they all looked so tempting.
My friend, Susan, and I resisted but we kept on looking. The croissants, the coffee cakes and all those sinful baked goods.
Fresh artisan breads, homemade granola, made to order waffles and pancakes. You can order to go or stay awhile. Free Wi-Fi is available, as well.
We were soooo good. We split a fancy blueberry muffin.
And, we also split the bowl of fruit and yogurt.
Nothing better than catching up with an old friend.
Have a great day in Rehoboth Beach!! Talk to you later.
Really….the truth is our thoughts were on this cake….the Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Cake…we left it right where it belonged; behind the glass case. Maybe some other time.

Break fast in Downtown Rehoboth Beach with friends? Breakfast is when I usually get together; more so than lunch, I would say. It is in the a.m. when try to catch up with events happening in our lives; then off to do whatever else we, usually, have to do.
In the past few weeks I have visited The Gallery Espresso located at 70 Rehoboth Ave., right in Dowtown Rehoboth Beach. They are at 1st Street Station, on the corner of 1st St. and Rehoboth Avenue. It is the south side of the ocean block. Tel. 302-231-2113. Website? www.thegalleryespresso.com. You can find them on Twitter as The Gallery Espresso and on Facebook as Gallery Espresso. John is the owner and you will usually find him behind the counter, along with some of his staff.
This is a coffee shop with a twist; an art gallery and retail store on one side. John has local artists exhibiting in his coffee shop. Their art is for sale. John is also an artist working on different projects and would be more than happy to show you around.
Comfortable sofas, free Wi-Fi, high top tables, as well as regular tables are available for the patrons.
On a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the outdoors. Pets are welcomed on their patio.
Enjoy one of their bold coffees served in one large cup; my preference. Add one of their freshly baked cookies.
John and his staff are friendly and can give you suggestions, depending of what you are in the mood for.
Place your order at the counter; food will be brought to the table. Check the webiste for their menus.
The other day I wanted to try a crepe. I chose the broccoli and chicken. Two large crepes arrived. No way you will complain, here, not having enough food. It was almost plenty for two people.
The next time when I visited I asked if I could only have one crepe. That time I chose the ham and cheese with a light cheese sauce on top. That was the perfect size for me.
The Gallery Espresso makes everything fresh. They even have some vegan and gluten free items. Please call the above mentioned number if you are interested in any, and see if on that particular day, it will be available.
Other friends have had the scrambled egg platter.
And, another that calls herself an expert on eggwhite scrambles also enjoyed a nice breakfast.
The Gallery Espresso opens every day. Besides breakfast they offer plenty more. It is casual and relaxing; stay as long as you want.
Have a great day!!
