Looking for a place to have breakfast before hitting the tax free shopping in Rehoboth Beach? Hopefully, the day will turn out at pretty as Friday, when Rehoboth Beach was a bit chilly but with a bright blue sky…..The award-winning Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk was quiet around 8:15 a.m. Believe me, I like it that way. Hard to believe how crowded it does get during the height of the season. On Friday, all Jody and I were doing was having breakfast at GreenMan.
 
GreenMan is a juice bar, and a bistro. Located at 12 Wilmington Ave., which is one street south of Rehoboth Avenue. They open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For sure you can count on them Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They have been opening on Monday but it would be best to call 302-227-4909 to make sure. They will be open the day before and after Christmas, as well.
Cozy and comfortable inside…during the summer months outside on their porch…dining is the best!! Their website is http://www.greenmanjuicebar.com. Lots to choose; an extensive menu. Gluten free bread is available for those with a gluten allergy.
Homemade quiche for Jody….you can also order a whole quiche for those unexpected guests.
And, for me? I had a craving for smoked salmon. It was so good.
Have a great day!!

Where to eat in Rehoboth Beach? Plenty of places to eat, being that Rehoboth Beach is a dining and vacationing destination in Southern Delaware. The town is looking great, expecting a very good 2013 Season!
We all have our favorite places to eat….GreenMan Juice Bar & Bistro is located on 12 Wilmington Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, on the ocean block. It is in one of those quaint cottages that abound in Rehoboth and define this coastal town.
You can find GreenMan on Facebook. Tel. 302-227-4909. They are open for breakfast and lunch Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday; 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. They will be expanding the hours once the season gets going. Take-out available. Website? http://www.greenmanjuicebar.com
If the weather is warm try to sit on the porch; inside is just as comfortable.
My friend, Jody, and I started with a beverage. Me? A frothy capuccino.
There is so much to try at this popular restaurant in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. I keep saying that one of these days that French Toast is going to be mine. On Friday…well, we are trying to watch our figures, Jody and I had something simple.
She had the Homemade Quiche of the Day, the Quiche du Jour, made with organic free range eggs and organic fresh veggies. Organic greens and sesonal fruits on the side.
I decided on the GreenMan Tofu Scramble in a Wrap. Organic vegetables, sauteed with tofu and hearty red potatoes served with fresh tomato salsa in a whole wheat wrap. A little hot sauce on the side to spice things up.
We chatted a bit…and that was it….then, it was off to Morgan & Gower….Friday was National Cheese Day!!
Have a Good One!!

For the health conscious…this time of the year is particularly important…right? Jody decided to pick GreenMan as our place for breakfast on Friday. Getting together before the holidays with some of my friends is a way to kick back and relax.
GreenMan is perfect for a late breakfast or early lunch. It opens Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is located at 12 Wilmington Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. It is in one of those very quaint Rehoboth cottages that define this charming coastal resort. Tel. 302-227-4909. On Facebook too!!
Too cold in December to sit outside, the inside is small and comfy. GreenMan has an extensive menu…drinks, coffees, plus delicious homemade food…it is an organic, gourmet type of place.
They had two quiches on the menu, freshly made. Jody chose the one with Fontina. They are known for their quiches. You can even place an order to go. Perfect for company.
I was in the mood for a capuccino, which was served on a large round coffee cup full of foam.
Then, the salmon is was I wanted. It hit the spot…the bread was toasted and it was perfect.
One of these days I will have their French toast….it is decadent and sinful. Maybe in 2013!!
Have a great day!!

Finally, Jody and I were able to make it to GreenMan. Can’t wait for this very popular breakfast and lunch spot to open every day. At the moment GreenMan is opening Thursdays through Sundays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
GreenMan Juice Bar & Bistro is located at 12 Wilmington Ave., right on the ocean block. Tel. 302-227-4909. Keep that number because you can order take-out, including whole quiches, as well.
Some of the Rehoboth Beach restaurants are located in old “cottages” that give them character and distinction. GreenMan is one of such restaurants. It has been spruced up to tackle another summer season at the Delaware Beaches.
The porch at GreenMan is sought after. The restaurant is small; inside tables and a small ordering bar.
There are blackboards mentioning the daily offerings, besides their menu. The staff is friendly and some have been there a long time.
I wanted to order a shot of their wheat grass. I feel that when I come to GreenMan I need to be eating as healthy as possible.
On that particular day they did not have it so I decided to get the Super Juice. It had carrot, apple, spinach and beets. I love beets and that was the primary taste on this very colorful juice.
I think Jody had either the Hawaiian Escape or the Strawberry Seduction. I can’t remember, but definitely bananas were the primary fruits. You can tell by the color of our juices which one was hers and which was mine.
Throughout the day GreenMan serves gourmet sandwiches, salads, homemade soups, quiches, and burgers. Teas, smoothies and organic drinks are always favorites.
Jody decided on a tomato and spinach quiche. Always popular the quiches go quickly. You can also order whole quiches to take home.
I decided to have a tofu and potato wrap. If you think that was boring; think twice. Delicious and perfectly seasoned.
One day, I am not kidding, I am going to have their Creme Brulee French Toast…..as soon as I decide I want to gain weight…I will do that. It is one of their most photographed offerings.
Sunny at the Delaware Beaches!!….Have a Great Day in Rehoboth Beach…

I was ready for GreenMan. New season and new expectations. Breakfast with Jody. She is a foodie and ready to try anything. She held back a bit when I asked for a shot of wheat grass. Come on, I said, you have to tried it. I was telling her this, knowing that I had never had it myself. I expected a very earthy taste. It was somewhat earthy but what gave it a sweetness was a small piece of apple which was put through the juicer. About 3 bunches of the wheat grass make just a couple of ounces. Jody tried it and thought the same thing; not bad at all. I sipped my wheat grass through my breakfast and felt totally “green”.
 Green shot of wheat grass with a sliver of apple I have written about GreenMan in the past. If you want to, check my post, written on 12/17/10. Just go on the left hand side of this blog and click on the month of December and then scroll down to the 17th.
GreenMan is located at 12 Wilmington Avenue. Tel. 302-227-4901. On Facebook, just like everyone else is. The restaurant opens Wednesdays through Mondays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
It has an extensive menu and I have had delicious breakfasts while sitting in this quaint house. At times I have sat outside, on their porch, depending on the weather. GreenMan is simple, and small. It is popular and can get crowded easily.
Fresh fruit juices, smoothies, quiches, organic coffees, paninis, salads and bison burgers, among some of their offerings. The grits with sausage and cheese is a favorite. So is the creme brulee French toast, which I will have some day. Right now, only in my dreams.
Jody and I sat around and started to catch on our lives. We both can talk. When it was time to order Jody chose the tomato and basil quiche. GreenMan’s quiches are well known. You can also order full quiches, which is great to know in case you have unexpected guests. Just give them a call.
In keeping with my “green” attitude of the day I ordered a tofu wrap. It was very good. Chopped potatoes, tofu, spinach and just enough seasoning for breakfast.
If you are in Rehoboth Beach or surrounding areas and want to have a good breakfast or lunch, you should give GreenMan a try. Let me know how you like it.
Hope you have a nice week-end…..see you….

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…
