Old World Breads, Bakery, Lewes, Delaware, Artisan Bread Bakery, No Preservatives, No Enhancers, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

Nothing better than a cup of coffe early in the morning with fresh baked bread.  I remember years ago when my grandmother in Puerto Rico would always invite her neighbors for a cup a coffee and bread in the afternoons.  It was a routine.

Stopping at Old World Breads reminded me of that so long ago.  Old World Breads are making a statement at the Delaware Beaches and beyond.  They are located at 32191 Nassau Rd., Unit 4, Lewes, DE 19958  Tel. 302-313-5191  Website?  http://www.oldworldbreads.com.  Their bakery hours at this time of the year are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m.  Sundays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Directions:  From Rt. 1 driving North make a right turn on Nassau Rd, right before the Nassau Bridge.  Go 1/4 of a mile and they are on the right.  From Rt. 1 driving South make a left turn onto Nassau Rd., as soon as you go over the Nassau Bridge.  Go that 1/4 of a mile and they are on the right.

Old World Breads are found at farmers markets in the area and beyond:  Historic Lewes Farmer’s Market on Saturdays, Rehoboth Beach Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, Milton Farmer’s markets on Fridays, Penn Quarter Farmer’s Market on Thursday, and Annapolis Farmer’s Market on Sundays.  During the summer season, you can also find Old World Breads at the farmer’s market in Bethany Beach and Sea Colony in Bethany Beach.

Arriving at Old World Breads….we were not the only ones taking the bakery in.  Gorgeous breads, delicious aroma.

The croissants were ready to go…and they were.  Local jams and jellies, the perfect addition to any baked goods.

Tons of local peaches peeled for just out of the oven peach pies.

Plum pies made with Frangipane.  This is a pastry cream used in baking desserts, sweets, cakes and pancakes.  It is made with milk, sugar, flour, eggs, and butter, mixed with crushed macaroons or ground almonds.  It gives the baked goods a special taste.

And last but not least we took home some flat breads.  Surprise, surprise…a little kick to get those tastebuds going.

Stop for coffee….try their breads and baked goods.  Say hello.  A friendly staff, ready to tell you what baking bread is all about.

Please Note that Old World Breads also has wholesale and special occasions.

Talk to you later.  Have a great day…it is cooler out there!!
