This is our favorite Italian bakery by the beach and have been coming here for years. It is the…read moreperfect place to stop by for some fresh, delicious pastries to enjoy on the beach. We absolutely love their crispy lobster tails with the light and fresh French cream! The crunch, the smooth cream texture, and perfect sweetness are heavenly! Their black and white cookie is also delightful. It is so soft and cakey with fresh chocolate and vanilla buttercream frosting! Pair any of their pastries with a coffee/ latte from anywhere of your choosing, sit on a bench by the water and enjoy with the perfect view for a transcendent experience!

The guy was with no hands drinking Duncan and getting his dirty hands all over the food and the way he cooked. The food was bad and the portions were got so much smaller he barely even tried. It was so messy. I love this place but I don't know if I can come here again maybe it's just just one guy maybe it's the whole store or maybe it's just the winter service but I ordered an Uber eats and I want to pick it up and he hasn't even looked and he was just scrolling on TikTok the whole time till I came and told him to look at his orders, but that was 20 minutes later. I'm just sad.

Celery, carrots, butternut squash and loaded with big pieces of chicken. The matzo balls were light and fluffy and sized nice and small. I'd rather eat 2 or 3 small one than one the size of a softball (think Harold's!). Overall, it was one of the best soups I've ever eaten!

During my first visit, they had a pop up from Mirah's Sweet Shoppe. During my second visit, there was a pop up from J. Bakes. Out the gate, I love that they give other local small businesses an opportunity to shine and generate revenue. If you follow The Baker's Grove on social media, you see that they post pictures of these beautiful pastries and pastry cakes weekly. If that's not enough to get you in your car and over to their bakery, I don't know what is. Not only are the pastries beautiful, they are delicious! They make a coconut cream doughnut that I am currently addicted to. Their key lime tart is delicious. One thing I will say is that if you get anything chocolate of theirs, make sure you're a true chocolate lover. I got a slice of the s'mores tart for myself and a slice of chocolate cake for my mom and one thing we agreed on is that both treats were very, very rich. On top of all this deliciousness, the service is usually friendly and efficient. Even with a line, they get you in and out swiftly. There's not much room to dine in, but it's definitely worth a stop by.

Ambience is of your neighborhood bakery, where you can drop in for your "daily bread," or sit and have a cup of coffee or juice, accompanied by your favorite hand held. For me, this is a taste of home! Service was attentive. If you want well prepared and served coffee and simple fare, this is the place!

Busy Bee is inside a gas station, and has very good coffee. I had a caramel macchiato and it was a solid 7.5/10 (my coffee rating scale is as arbitrary as myself). There's also a generous collection of food offerings - I tried something similar to a deviled sausage (I didn't get its name) and it was delicious.
