Coffee and beach mornings go well together, and Rehoboth Beach has plenty of places to start your day with a fresh cup. From independent roasters to longtime downtown cafés, the local coffee scene offers options for a quick drink, breakfast, or a slower morning before heading to the beach.
Guests staying in Rehoboth Beach vacation rentals can easily work these local favorites into their vacation plans. Here are four coffee shops worth visiting during your next trip.
The Point Coffee House and Bake Shoppe
The Point Coffee House and Bake Shoppe is a popular choice for travelers who want coffee and something fresh from the bakery. Its coffee is roasted in-house, with hot and iced drinks, espresso, cappuccinos, frappes, and other options available.
Come hungry, because baked goods are a major part of the experience. The selection can include cinnamon buns, sticky buns, pies, cannoli, and stuffed breakfast croissants. Lunch options such as sandwiches, soups, salads, and quiche give you a reason to return later in the day.
The Point is especially convenient when you want to grab breakfast before setting out for a full day near the coast.
Rise Up Coffee Roasters
Rise Up Coffee Roasters is a Maryland-based coffee company that has expanded to the Delaware beaches. The Rehoboth Beach café serves the company’s organic coffee alongside breakfast and lunch options, giving visitors plenty of choices beyond a standard cup of coffee.
There are actually two ways to visit Rise Up in Rehoboth. Its main café is located near the lighthouse roundabout, while Rise Up Coastal offers a drive-thru option on Coastal Highway. The drive-thru serves the company’s full coffee lineup and is useful when you’re heading out for an early adventure.
A coffee run here can be an easy start to a day filled with things to do in Rehoboth Beach, from biking and shopping to spending a few hours by the ocean.
The Coffee Mill
The Coffee Mill has been part of downtown Rehoboth Beach for decades. Located in the Rehoboth Mews shopping area, the café opened in 1991 and has become a familiar stop just a short walk from the boardwalk.
Coffee is the main attraction. The shop sells more than 60 blends of whole-bean or ground coffee and serves six different blends daily. Visitors can also find teas, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, croissants, cakes, cookies, and other baked goods.
Courtyard seating and free Wi-Fi make The Coffee Mill a good option when you want to linger over your drink. If you enjoy trying different roasts and flavors, this longtime café deserves a spot on your list of coffee shops in Rehoboth Beach.
Café Papillon
Café Papillon brings a French café experience to downtown Rehoboth Beach. Found in Penny Lane Mall, the café specializes in crêpes, croissants, pastries, sandwiches, and salads, with its food made from scratch.
Its central location makes Café Papillon especially convenient during a morning or afternoon spent exploring Rehoboth Avenue. Pair your coffee with a croissant or crêpe, then continue on to the nearby shops, boardwalk, and beach. It’s also a nice change of pace if you’re looking for more than a traditional coffeehouse experience.
