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!!

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”.

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…
