    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.

    Got myself a Cinnamon swirl which was good. Did not have a variety of drinks. This bakery is family owned and service was great!

    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.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Elephant & Octopus during a day trip to Cape Charles,…read moreand what a cute find! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was inviting! 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!

It's a quaint little shop where you can buy fresh seafood, groceries, as well as different pastries and other dishes at the deli counter. I was originally in the mood for an Italian sandwich, but after speaking with the employee working the counter, I got a Shrimo Po' Boy because he said "The way we make em here, you won't find anywhere else." After one bite, I realized exactly what he meant; the shrimp were so fresh that I just knew they were caught straight out of the Cheseapeake Bay that same morning. I was also a fan of the thinly sliced French fries. I got a lemon square to eat after my sandwich, and it was also so good that I grabbed a slice of rainbow cake to go. The rainbow cake was good, but a tad dry, so definitely go for the lemon square if you're looking for a dessert here. All in all, the beach market is a great stop for anybody looking for a quick bite to eat or to support a local grocer in Cape Charles.

They served tasty and hearty corn and crab chowder. Growing up, I was a sucker for old-school steak fries. These are not them. They may appear to be fat steak fries at first glance, but they're better. Just a wide as steak fries but sliced ribbon-thin and very well seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and maybe a little parmesan. And if you enjoy a thick fat Italian sub, this is it. The bread was a crusty ciabatta roll. What made the difference for me on this Italian sub was that it was nicely toasted... holy smokes! The Beach Market is, indeed, a market, too. If you have a refined tastes in wine and other food delicacies do not miss out!

We popped in for a casual beer break, and it quickly turned into one of the highlights of the day. The space itself is gorgeous! It's open, airy and designed with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Cape Charles perfectly. You order both beer and food inside at the counter, which keeps things easy and low- key. I went with the Pilsner, and it was exactly what I wanted, perfect after a day out exploring. Their beer list has something for everyone, whether you're into lighter options or something with a bit more depth. We didn't order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. They've got plenty of options like burgers, nachos, and other brewery favorites that definitely seemed worth trying next time. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There was so much going on in the best way. They had a dog adoption event happening outside while we were there, which added such a fun, community-driven vibe. They also host live music and other events regularly, so it feels like there's always something to check out. The outdoor space is huge and perfect if you're with a group or bringing kids. There's a fire pit, games like cornhole, and plenty of room to spread out and hang for a while. Definitely the kind of place you plan to stop at for one drink and end up staying much longer. I will be adding this to my must visit list anytime I'm on the Eastern Shore.

So we ordered pretzels that were served -- you guessed it -- frozen. The crab cake sandwich one of our guests ordered was served burned. I finally ordered a burger, and when I went up to the station to retrieve the order -- because there is no table service -- saw that people who had ordered after us were being served fish. Really?! I will never go to this place again.
