    LOVE CAPE CHARLES "Mayberry on the Bay" LOL!
    Kim B.

    This will be my 5th Summer going to Cape Charles for 10 days with Family and Friend's. I cannot wait to stand in line for THE BEST baked goods and DELICIOUS sandwiches for boat and beach. Absolutely love, love, love this local bakery. Highly recommend!!! See you next week!!

    Condiment stand with free samples!

    I am visiting on the off season and didn't realize how many places would be closed. Luckily this bakery was open. Very cute inside, it's very inviting. The woman behind the counter was so friendly and even tried making recommendations based on what she knows was still open (thank you!). Aesthetically everything was perfect, it was hard to choose just one pastry. I got the sourdough loaf and the cheese danish and the lemon cheese danish. The bread was delicious and the danishes were some of the best ones I've ever had. This bakery is a must!

    Walking in you are hit with the fresh aromas of baking breads. This is a 10/10 bakery! The women at the counter was so friendly and personable. It is so cute inside, the absolutely perfect small town bakery vibe. We tried the cheesecake, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip cookies and cheese danish. Absolutely devoured it all!

    Charming little bakery in historic Cape Charles. We arrived a few minutes before 9:00am, they opened at 8:30. They were already out of chocolate croissants. By the time we placed our order at 9:17 they were out of plain croissants and cinnamon twists. I get that everything is freshly baked, but it seems they need to plan a little better than that. There were 4 girls behind the counter, but they only waited on one customer at a time, with one girl having to repeat everything in the order to another girl to ring them up. I ordered a bagel with lox spread and got veggie spread, we also had the monkey bread, blueberry muffin and a breakfast sandwich, all of which were good.

    After vacationing in Cape Charles, we discovered Mason Avenue Bakery. The inside was clean and well kept. The baked goods on display all looked very good. The raspberry tart, chocolate walnut brownie and all of their sandwiches were fantastic. The service was quick and friendly and they helped make recommendations. I recommend taking a visit if you are in Cape Charles.

    Cute little lunch place - the tuna sandwich on their own baguette (the Skipjack, as they call it) was tasty, fresh and the perfect size for an after-beach meal.

Understand that this is very much farm to table,…read moremade to order, slightly upscale and a lovely curated dining experience that you probably should make reservations for. This is not a place you would walk in off the beach to. The owner has her hands in everything from creating the weekly menu to waiting tables herself. She is a lovely woman, very direct but also very excited to share her process and her culture. The plates are small, but pack a punch. My husband and I shared a starter, two first course dishes, a single second course dish, and two desserts. We were satisfied, but certainly could have ate more because the food was amazing! My favorite was the burrata appetizer. The combination of flavors in this was unreal. Balsamic with some sort of pesto tasting tomato sauce and local sun dried tomatoes? I don't even know but I'll remember it forever. The creamy risotto we ordered combined flavors of leeks, fennel, and an amazing sausage that was hidden in there somewhere. My husband commented that the scallops we had in our second course were the best of his life, absolutely perfectly seared and the owner kindly told us how she did them. The arugula was huge and definitely local as I've never seen arugula like this in the grocery store. It was topped with a blueberry vinaigrette the owner made that was out of this world. The food brought us back to our time in Italy and we spent dinner talking about that trip. It really brought us back! Don't miss this charming little place while you're in town if you can swing it.

The interior has a classy, almost regal feel with comfy booth seating, plus lots of cute covered patio seating outside. We stopped in for Sunday brunch and the food was very good, but the fish and chips were the highlight. It might honestly be some of the best fried fish I've ever had. The fish was thick and meaty with a perfectly crispy coating, without being overly oily or heavy. Service was quick and friendly. I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu next time I'm in Cape Charles!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a whimsical, nautical meets industrial interior. Think exposed brick, quirky elephant and octopus artwork, and cozy seating that feels both inviting and upscale. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your meal and soak in the unique ambiance. As for the food, it did not disappoint. I started with the Ale & Onion Soup, and wow. This was comfort in a bowl! The robust flavor of Guinness melded perfectly with the caramelized onions, and the bubbling gruyère on the toasted bread points just took it over the top. It was savory, rich, and perfect for the chilly day. My friend went for the She Crab Soup, and couldn't stop raving about it. Creamy and absolutely packed with local crab meat. The puffed oyster crackers and a sprinkle of Old Bay were the ultimate finishing touch. I managed to sneak a bite, and it was heavenly! We also asked the bartender for a fun cocktail, and they whipped up a bright, lemony drink that was as refreshing as it was beautiful. It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, served with a citrus twist. Service was great. Friendly, attentive without hovering, and happy to make recommendations. If you're in Cape Charles and looking for a spot that nails both food and atmosphere, you can't go wrong here. Already planning my next visit!

The fact that they sell out so quickly every-single-day is a testament on their own. Everything I learned about this place was hear-say so take it with a grain of salt but their food does speak for itself (which I did in fact get a chance to try). First of all, they have a number of sandwiches that are pre-made and to my understanding, there's no customization. From what I can tell, they come on white bread (I think?), croissant, and focaccia but if you know me or my reviews, then you know I stopped looking once I saw focaccia. They sell out quickly so make sure you get there early enough to land you what you want and it's tucked away and hidden in the back of a really cool store you'll want to give yourself time to shop. And if all of that isn't enough, the sandwiches are themselves are phenomenal. An absolute must-visit and a perfect "take to the beach to be harassed by seagulls" lunch.
