Service was nice and the interior had plenty of seating. Street parking was pretty easy to come by on a Sunday morning. As I waited for my order, I heard someone at a nearby table say, "I've learned not to get the coffee here." We did not disagree with that assessment, so it's fortunate that a chain coffee shop was just 200 ft away. The turnover dough ate more like phyllo than puff pastry; my husband declined to have more than one bite, and I was sad to not have help. Rounding up because our friends liked their quiches (mushroom one was better than the feta one) and borscht. I'd help them eat pierogis here again. read more

Riverfront Bakery is a cute bakery and coffee shop. They offer freshly baked goods, including croissants, muffins, pierogis, and quiches. They're not well staffed so when I visited they were really challenged to fill orders and serve customers. It took 30 minutes for me to get to the register and order. It was close to my hotel and the Starbucks in the area closed. read more

Obsessed! Love everything about Riverfront Bakery! The bakery itself is immaculate, the staff is so sweet and caring, and everything is absolutely delicious. They have new things on the menu frequently and we love picking out a treat from the case! Cannot recommend enough! read more

We were headed back from a trip and stumbled across this wonderful shop. It is located near the Riverwalk in Wilmington. Plenty of parking along the street on this lazy Saturday morning. We stopped inside and very glad we did. We had an assortment of coffee and tea and most of my group chose the breakfast options. They had quiche and the pancakes. All were delicious and amazing. I opted for the chicken salad on a croissant. It was buttery and fluffy and tasted fantastic. Just to make sure, we all split a chocolate croissant. We were very glad we did. The staff was very friendly and answered every question and gave options. My only wish is that I lived closer. read more

Service was rude, the ambience was cute and quiet. The crepe was big and filled with banana and nutella. The hot cocoa was flavorless and this was before I even ate my crepe yet. There's a good variety of pastries available and I like the open kitchen. read more

Delicious! Everything we had was fantastic. We had a almond and a chocolate croissant that we loved and came back for a second time..then third time to take some home. Also had several other items, all wonderful, the crepe, the quiches and the fruit tarts they were all perfect and they melted in my mouth, and of course I got some to take home. Each time there was a huge line, but it went very fast. Enjoyed good coffee while eating inside and the atmosphere was great with the staff being very friendly and welcoming. Will be back. read more

GET THE ALMOND CROISSANT!! I stopped by this bakery during a recent trip to Wilmington. This bakery is located in the Riverfront, just off I-95 and in walking distance from the bus station. I tried the almond crossant it wss very good. Highly recommended getting this. The only thing that could've made it any better is if it was warm. I heard the butter croissant was another good option. I also heard that the chocolate croissant did not contain enough chocolate. I purchased a cinammon muffin and apple turnover, for later. I tasted both the next day and neither were something I'd get again. read more

The stars are only for the "raspberry cream cheese danish". They need to rename it as a "raspberry croissant". And the croissant was doughy. Looks like a pan o chocolat. Except with a tiny smear of raspberry. Lots of other items to try but... and parking is limited. read more

Currently traveling from Texas, new to the area, nice people welcomed us in, with good prices. I got a chocolate and strawberry cream cheese croissants. Have to say I was very impressed with the texture and taste. The environment was warm and clean would've stayed for hours but the road awaits ! read more

We were in a bit of a rush to get the train, or else we would've sat down and enjoyed our time a little more. However, from the little bit of food, we did taste, we really loved it! The cheesecake is delicious. The turnovers are a must have! The apple cinnamon turnover was our favorite. We will definitely be back to try some more things. read more

The food is awesome!only problem is it takes a while if you come before 9:30.coffee is good and crepes are better.nice ambience.

This was my first time at Riverfront Bakery, a quick stop on the way to Baltimore. It's a cute bakery shop with outdoor seating, high ceilings and a calm atmosphere. It's beautiful and clean on the inside, very clean and bright! The venue was suggested for sweets along the way. However, I didn't expect my visit to go the way it did in such a short time frame. The customer service was not pleasant and it made me question if I wanted to stay or not. My total was a little over $30 for what I felt was not worth it. The interaction at the counter was less than stellar on their end when I was paying for two orders and the cashier made a mistake; I was forgiving and sat down. I did share that my chocolate chip cookie was really hard, not even crumbly per say, just really hard that made me wonder if they were fresh. I did share this and the feedback I received was "we have a hard recipe," I wasn't sure how to interpret that. The engagement with other staff members or what I believed to be close friends and/or family walking around was not comforting or welcoming. It was somewhat disheartening. read more

The place is pretty cute inside. I got an ice coffee with salted caramel syrup. The coffee was not that good and had a strange sugar aftertaste. I also got some pastries to try. The chocolate canolis was decent! Small and expensive. The chocolate chip muffin I got was pretty dry. 1/3 items were decent. Maybe the hot coffee and other items would be better. read more

If you're looking for a cup of coffee or tea, this new little bakery is a cute spot. They have so many desserts to choose from daily. They also sell mystery boxes from time to time at a discounted rate if you want to be surprised with a mystery treat. The bakery kitchen is completely enclosed and glass. As a mom, kids would love this as well because they can watch the bakers at work. It's very bright, clean and airy in this cute little café. read more

Riverfront Bakery - Large cappuccino - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

For my daughter's birthday we stopped her to buy her a pastry. To my surprise they had a sugar free cookie. We order the sugar free cookie, a coffee, and a lemon cake. My daughter enjoyed the cake but the sugar made her a bit sick. My cookie was delicious. I enjoyed the seeds and fruit in it. My spouse loved the coffee. The service was not anything special. Just ordered at counter and took our items to a bistro table. Shortly afterwards more people came in and we took off. The kitchen is enclosed in windows so it's cool to look in on them decorating cookies, cakes and muffins. read more

WOW! So glad I came here instead of Starbucks. Best quiche and apple turnover I've ever had. Wish I could add a photo but it's all gone.

Very quaint french style bakery. A few tables to eat inside but they fill up quick. My first time inside, I was plagued with indecision. I read from other reviews they have a mystery box so I opted for that and a hot chocolate. ($10 total) The staff filled my box with a scone, cinnamon roll, and a behemoth of a roll (didn't get much clarity on what that was but again it's a mystery lol). They were all seemingly dry and doughy. The scone was the tastiest of all 3. The hot chocolate was watery. I ended up adding more milk to it when I got home. This trip was a miss for me but other options seems promising. I'd be interested in trying a quiche next. read more

Great food and coffee, lovely ambiance. Very tasty food and they even had gluten free options. Great place in the neighborhood!!

Pros - cute and clean interior - various baked goods on display to choose from - simple and clear menu - they have a surprise box you can buy that has some pastries for $9 (really good deal!) Cons - service was a joke. We ordered a sandwich (ham and cheese with croissant) and a guy brought it out and realized he brought the wrong order out. He stormed away rolling his eyes at his coworkers blaming them for doing it wrong. Then he came back and placed a measly sandwich that was quickly thrown together and didn't even bother to clean off the plate to make it more presentable - savory sandwich was not worth the price at all. It's something you can easily make at home. - Street parking only There was nothing different from this place than any other normal cafe or bakery. Nothing stood out. I think the main reason people go is because it's in a convenient and good location. read more

This quaint little bakery/cafe by the riverfront is: Clean and the food is very good. The lunch selection can be limited. Would return to see if selections change on a daily basis. My husband got the chicken salad on a baguette and it's was very good I got the mushroom/spinach quiche which was also very good but needed to be warmed up more (cool in the center) Perfect place to get a snack or lunch or a sweet treat after walking along the riverfront path. PS their coffee very good. Chris B read more

The pastries and coffees are fresh and delicious. Service not as great, but worth the wait.

This cute little bakery makes some of the best breakfast pastries around. All of the ladies that work there are so friendly. The almond or pistachio croissants are my favorite but the selection changes and there's nothing there that isn't delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Such slow service and very average quality coffee. Cup was literally overflowing with ice before pouring coffee in. Do not plan to return

Delightful addition to the Riverfront! The baked goods, both sweet and savory, are delicious, and the coffee smooth and flavorful. The almond croissant is my favorite. All three times I've gone there, I've been supremely satisfied. I plan to go back often. A gem for the south side of Wilmington! read more

This place is fantastic! Great coffee and delicious pastries, both sweet and savory. Highly recommend it!

As a bakery this place is 5 stars hands down. The one and the ONLY downfall was the coffee. The coffee is la columbe and came from a tap. This was really watered down, especially since I ordered a latte. I know they make lattes but they suck. The bakery is down right IMPRESSIVE. All the pastries we tried were good. I would stop and get coffee on the way here next time. read more

Beautiful and elegant French-Style Bakery! Stumbled on this place trying to find a good bakery. This place was absolutely beautiful and fresh. They had all kinds of pastries and cakes that all looked delicious, even gluten free options which I love! This family owned business was very clean & chic; I loved how you were able to see the kitchen while dining, it was a very cool and entertaining experience. I also noticed at the register they had a mystery box of desserts for sale. Although I didn't purchase the mystery box, I thought it was a fun & intriguing! Price range was mid range. The staff was attentive, kind and precautious as they were wearing masks which I think is very important when working with food! I ordered a Nutella croissant which was very delicious but was a bit dry. I also ordered the ham and cheese on a croissant which was very tasty and loved! read more

Pretty good bakery. Found it a bit odd that there weren't NYC style (fast) breakfast options despite there clearly having been effort made to construct a breakfast menu. Some service hiccups compared to what you'd expect from the Starbucks a few doors down but that's part of the charm of a local business. read more

I went here this past Saturday. The woman working the counter was very warm and welcoming. My buddy got a scone and she asked him if he wanted it warmed up. I had a piece and it was pretty good. I ordered coffee and it was good tasting. The cup leaked a bit but these things happen. The inside was very clean and bright and sunny. It's near the train station. Plenty of on street parking, at least on a Saturday morning. Check 'em out read more

Love this addition to the Wilmington Riverfront! Riverfront Bakery is an adorable little establishment offering delicious pastries and La Colombe coffee that we tried for a recent Sunday breakfast. They offer a few tables along one wall and have set up a couple of outdoor tables to be more COVID-friendly. All staff were masked and sanitizer was readily available, and there is a layer of glass through which you can watch COVID-safe workers prepare more pastry. We had a tough time choosing which pastries to try; they offer a lot of traditional French baked goods like chocolate croissants and pain aux raisins. We wound up with a plain croissant, a cheese brioche, an "everything" brioche (modeled after the bagel, of course!), and their croissant-donut of the day, which was pumpkin pie flavored. The croissant was excellent, with the light, flakiness you'd expect from a well-baked croissant. The brioches both had pockets of cheese and flavor in the middle, along with seasoning on top --- both were delicious, though I think BF and I agreed we preferred the Everything Brioche over the Cheese. The croissant donut was delicious --- two donut-shaped pieces of cinnamon-sugar covered flaky pastry with pumpkin spiced pastry cream between, a divine fall treat. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu, including crepes and quiches. Side note: the quote painted above the menu speaks to Yelpers everywhere: "There is no love sincerer than the love of food." Clearly, the designers of this place are my kind of people. read more

Was ignored upon arrival for several minutes while the pastries were restocked. When the worker/owner(?) finally acknowledged us, her demeanor was cold. The croissant was inedible because it was stale and my coffee cup was leaky. Very disappointing experience. read more

The cafe is at a great location of riverfront. The interior is nice and clean featuring cute artwork by local artist. The selection of pastries that they have is quite big, but we were expecting to be better in taste for the price, even though the size is pretty alright. Coffee was a bit of a miss, it was a bit tasteless for La Colombe brand. A lot of potential, we hope that it will improve. read more
