Cute little sandwich shop on a walking alley shopping street called Penny Lane. Service is walk-up to a deli-style counter where you can get gourmet coffees, teas, sandwiches and treats. Wife, daughters and I were looking for a quick bite to fuel up, so we shared a couple of overflowing croissant sandwiches. There monsters were piled high with homemade, chunk chicken salad and each came with a side of sliced veggies topped with a drizzle of dressing. Two sammies were enough for the four of us to share, then it was on to more shopping!

Can't go wrong with delicious sweet and savory crepes for breakfast on vacation. I've had several different variations and all have been exceptional. Be prepared to wait in line, but it's worth it! I actually like how it's set up where you don't go inside. It's part of the unique experience! And still faster than a sit-down restaurant. Also be careful that you're in the right line - there is a separate line for the coffee and people often get confused and think they're in the crepe line.

Go to for breakfast and coffee on the Beach! Try everything!

This is a fantastic croissant bakery. On the caliber of croissants I've had in France. Try the raspberry sweet cream. But they sell out so get there early, especially on Saturdays.

Simply stated that best croissants outside of France. Always a line. Don't wait till 11 AM to go because your favorites may well be sold out. We've had the butter, chocolate, almond and chocolate-almond all great. Great coffee too. The OTHER window sells crepes which look quite good but I've not sampled those.

A-not-so-hidden gem anymore, Cafe Papillon always has a long line for good reasons. They open at 8am but if you're up, do yourself a favor and get there around 7:30-7:40. The croissants sell out fast and when they're gone, they're gone. Keep in mind there are two separate lines, one for the crepes and one for the croissants/coffee/some other baked goods. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. This authentic slice of France in rehoboth is worth getting up early for!

Nestled on the quaint Penny Lane you will find this amazing spot. From the indulgent Nutella and Banana to the mouth watering Strawberries and Crème you simply can’t go wrong getting a crepe here. My group went in the morning and sat in the picture perfect seating area and it made for the most perfect start to our day.

This is my favorite place to stop in Rehoboth. The croissants are to die for and the crepes are delicious. If you are a fan of French pastries this is one of the best places to go.

Wonderful crepes at this longstanding establishment. The only bummer is having to pay twice (and often stand in line twice) to order drinks at a separate window from the crepe stations. It's been this way forever, but we customers would appreciate this process being streamlined somehow! But hey, it's worth the hassle. The croissants are to die for too! Best around.

There is a reason why this place has a line and often sells out of their croissants. Because they are that good! My personal favorites are the Raspberry & Cheese and the Sweet Cheese. Oh so good!!! Tip - If you want to ensure you get the croissants you want, text them the day before and they will be waiting for you the next day!

These croissants are amazing. Second day in a row of buying them. First time I could take a picture because yesterday they got eaten too fast. So great!
