I enjoyed sitting in the courtyard and people watching, It was not really beach weather the day came so it was a wonderful spot to hang out and spend some time.

Unique to Amity are their single-origin beans roasted fresh in-house! The coffee and food are delicious! The drink and food menu is ample and offers a great variety of choices, including gluten-free treats and vegetarian foods. Best part - everything is made fresh in-house! Put these menu items on your must-try list: 1) Chocolate chip cookies - I've been on a hunt for the best chocolate chip cookie and Amity's is high up on the list 2) Cafe Nico - delicious hot or cold coffee made with fresh orange citrus zest 3) Hot ham and cheese sandwich and the quiches! Very good! 4) A scone with coffee/tea is always my go-to! Amity boasts a cozy place for the community to come together, for friends to catch-up over coffee, and for small businesses to meet and network together. The venue can also be rented out for private events! You can trust Amity with its clean eatery, a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for the entire family, great hospitality, and an overall good experience. If the husband & wife-owners are working, make sure you say hello. They are super friendly and would love to welcome you to their shop.

Look at all those beans ready to be roasted!

Sunshine Baguette doesn't have crepes lol With a display case full of fresh baked goods, you will want to come here early and often. They open at 7 AM and do sell out of some of the most popular flavors. We stopped up for a quick lunch during our beach day. Located just over the first street from the beach, Sunshine Baguette is in the Shore Fun Family Fun Center. The store is super cute with decorations and a small indoor seating area - they do have a few tables outside that hopefully have patrons and not just pedestrians. We grabbed: - Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Fontina Panini: Warmed up to a perfect toasty crunch, the panini had such fresh flavors that you could tell it was not just put together that morning, but perfectly handcrafted to have a bit of everything in every bite. - Ham Gruyère Croissant: Definitely get this warmed up too! The croissant was so flaky that when toasted, it added a perfect crunch with the gooey Gruyère. We can't wait to stop in again and again to try more pastries and delights!

Needed a baguette to complete my homemade chicken salad. Everything looked clean and tidy inside…read more The baguette heated up nicely and was great - they had some good looking lunch options there too that I would go back to try, such as the brie/prosciutto on baguette.

One of the Lewes residents recommended this place during my recent stay, and an excellent recommendation it was! Located about 3 miles from downtown Lewes, there is plenty of parking in the busy shopping center...which I always appreciate. Don't be surprised if there is a long line upon walking in as this place is popular with the locals. The smell of freshly baked bread is the first thing that hits you. There is a wide selection of croissants, cakes, muffins, cookies, rolls, danishes, and of course, loaves of bread. A complete list of their offerings can be found here: https://www.labaguettede.com/menus/#lewes-menu As I was vacationing with a group, we got a few items; but I opted for the namesake baguette. When we returned to the AirBnB, the skinny baguette was still warm and had the signature crispy-ish exterior and nice flaky interior. Spread on some butter with coffee, and that was a perfect breakfast. I forgot to take a pic, but the breakfast bacon, egg, and cheese sando was excellent. Crispy strips of bacon, fluffy eggs, melty American cheese, is contained within toasty bread. At $8.50, honestly that is a good deal since it was large enough for two meals. Service was efficient, albeit perhaps a bit brusk...but it was busy so I'm not gonna detract any stars. The staff behind the counter just want you to give the order and don't have time to engage in too much small talk. From start to finish, a large-ish order of 12 items (including 3 breakfast sandos) only took about 8-10 minutes. In additon to baked goods, there are grocery items, t-shirts/cups, and other retail items for sale. While there is limited seating indoors, if you're lucky enough, snag one of the small table outside to enoy dining al fresco.
