8 Best Bakeries near Bethany Beach

“Very cute cafe, loved the cold brew.“

“The best way to describe the scene when you walk into DiFebo’s Market is that it’s like watching a choreographed dance (especially considering our visits were just days before Thanksgiving). On our first visit (for ice cream), we knew we’d be back soon for a meal. The unique flavors were so delicious and the market so fun that I forgot to take photos of each of our dishes. The chocolate orange was our favorite flavor with mint Oreo and berry poptart close seconds! When we walked in for our second visit (to get lunch and some pastries to go), we were immediately greeted by the server who scooped our frozen treats and remembered us as “the ice cream family” from yesterday. Though extremely busy, everyone at each counter was ready to answer questions and take our order. For lunch we selected several sandwiches for our group to share: Paninis: Di Brown’s Chicken & Brie and Caprese, Focaccia: Turkey & Cucumber, and 13” Mambos: Italian Cold Cut & Roma Chicken Caesar. The portions are generous, and we all were excited about the leftovers. While waiting for the paninis to be heated, we browsed the pastry counter and selected 6 pastries (how could we not?!). We especially appreciated the conversation about items that would be allergy friendly for one family member. After dinner we created a smorgasbord, splitting each pastry into 6; they were divine! I can’t recommend this local spot highly enough and only wish we lived closer, so I could visit more frequently.“

“LOVE this place! It is our favorite lunch place. Everything is delicious. The muffins are wonderful!“

“We’ve been getting cakes and cupcakes here for more than 30 years. Even since we’ve moved away, my son doesn’t consider his birthday complete without a cake from Rita’s. Everything is amazing and it seems like they keep coming up with new deliciousness every-time we visit.“

“I ordered cake and other sweets this past weekend! picked it up Friday for a graduation gathering that we were having at the beach when I first picked up the cake, I was worried that we would have a lot of dessert left over, but they demolished every single bit of it The cake was moist, very delicious and not too sweet. The brownies were to die for and of course, my favorite was the lemon squares and the cannolis. Will definitely be using if in the area!!!“

“I appreciate the gluten free options that are a part of the daily bake! The chocolate chip scones are wonderful!“

“Food: I had a 6 oz NY Strip, over easy eggs, home fries and toast for 16 bucks. I felt like that was phenomenal value. The steak was juicy and flavorful.

Service: We had a wonderful waitress and the service was fast and responsive.

Ambiance: Nothing special, but I do enjoy looking at their bakery selection.

I would highly recommend this place for breakfast.“
