    I was excited to try this bakery because of the baked goods and handmade lattes. Unfortunately, the quiche was cold and the large latte was unexpectedly small. I was very alarmed by the customers rushing to get in the entrance, but glad another customer noticed I had been waiting. I'm thankful for the kindness that was given by that customer and the friendly workers. I would love to come back for a do-over and just ask for them to warm the quiche.

    Amazing cookies and cream birthday cake
    Daniel F.

    A week out from our son's birthday and we needed a cake. Since we were staying at the KOA in Cape Charles, I did a quick google search and made a phone call. I asked for vanilla cake and vanilla icing with a cookies and cream flavor if possible to be incorporated. They made us an 8 inch double layer cake with cookies and cream in the center with cookie crumble pieces and some fudge drizzle. They were closed on Monday but allowed us to do a pickup Monday morning. The cake was delicious and the people in the bakery were absolutely amazing. It's a cute little place and can't wait to go back and try something on their menu. They have outside seating and the inside is a little small bit it really is nice. The cake was absolutely delicious. I'd absolutely go back and I recommend them 100%. Next time I'm in Cape Charles, you can bet I'll be stopping by.

    Found this little bakery on our roadtrip up the eastern shore. Cute little cafe. Food was delicious and cold brew was perfect. The employee that helped us was very nice and welcoming. Only issue was the cafe does not have a public restroom which oddly several other businesses on Main Street did not have public restrooms either. Also there is no inside seating so be prepared to eat outside or togo.

    Chicken biscuit.

    Cute place. Pastries and desserts are good but definitely pricey for what you get. Got the breakfast chicken sandwich-not worth it. It's about $9+ wasn't expecting a chicken patty. The muffins were good the smith island cake is okay a bit dry.

    Everything Turkey with side of macaroni salad.

    What a wonderful shop! I've been inside before to buy a quick cookie or take a small snack, but this time we had a lovely lunch here about half an hour before closing. We spoke to the friendly owner I believe behind the counter and she was happy to make recommendations or answer our questions about the sandwiches and lunch entrees they offer. Everything looked good and we were absolutely starving - they have a large range of delicious items to include Shrimp and Grits, soups, sandwiches, and other items. I chose the everything turkey sandwich which was HUGE and loaded with cheese and meat. Very good and very filling. The everything croissant was fresh and tasty. My husband chose the pastrami sandwich which was equally huge and generous portions of meat. Sides were homemade pasta salad and potato salad, both delicious. There is a small shop inside where you can browse wares and some household items and food items are for sale. There are a number of small patio tables and a few larger tables for 3-5 with umbrellas all outside. We got a chocolate chunk cookie and a soda and I had an iced chai tea. SO good. The owner said her husband was from India so the chai was legit and she was right. I have actually had chai in India and this tasted just like it! The cookie was fresh and moist and loaded with chunks of chocolate. Just like my husband loves them. Note: The kitchen closes 10 minutes before 3 - they close at 3. To halt any last-minute orders while they're cleaning up for the day. We will absolutely be back - this is a gem. Great, friendly and welcoming service, wonderful food, and a large lunch/brunch menu.

    Reese's cookie
    Jahmelia B.

    First time exploring Cape Charles and I was craving something sweet! I stumbled upon Coastal Baking on a whim and was absolutely delighted. I ended up getting crumb cake, Reese's cookie,a cupcake and a latte to share with my family! The coffee was a raspberry white chocolate and was absolutely delicious! The unexpected star of the show was the crumb cake! This cake was huge and very moist! There was an unexpected raspberry flavor in the layers that tied the whole dessert together. This was without a doubt the best crumb cake I've ever had!!

    Cute little store, no restroom. They have coffee and local desserts. This is right in Cape Charles. If you blink you'll miss it. The service was ok, it seemed like younger highschool or college kids was working as the staff. Not too overly excited about their jobs. But not rude. I like all the options of Baltimore and New Orleans goodies. I bought an Old Bay kitchen towel. If you're in the area for a few days, cute spot to stop by.

    If you want sweets and coffee, this is the bakery to visit. We stopped in and ordered up a variety of cookies--my favorite was the toffee cookie. We also got coffee, including lattes. The staff was friendly and they had some lovely tables to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. The inside was cute as well, and they had a small store to purchase gourmet items. While we were there, we saw family after family come in to purchase all kinds of goodies, so clearly it's a hit with kids.

    Cinnamon roll
    Brian R.

    We ordered the cinnamon roll, Smith Island cake (chocolate and coconut), a strawberry cream cheese roll, and a chicken biscuit sandwich. The chocolate Smith Island cake was very good. Great flavor and chocolate taste. The service was ready and handled the line that was out the door quickly. The inside was nice and clean and inviting. Worth trying when in Cape Charles.

    Chips selection
    John B.

    Not a lot was open in this town, but this bakery seemed a core business. One could walk inside and look at the wares before buying and eating either on tables outside or elsewhere in town. I sampled a Smith Island cake; a strange thing to get in Virginia instead of Maryland, but nonetheless relatively a local item. It was about what you would expect from the look of it, the icing combining with the cake in every bite. The white chocolate raspberry scone that I tried was actually a more interesting flavor combination and made for an excellent breakfast. They had lunch as well and a fairly exciting selection of regional potato chip flavors, but my needs has been filled. It wasn't a huge selection, and the cake was a bit pricey, but I was glad I found this place open.

    Bakery items

    This bakery is right by the beach in Cape Charles. I've only been once (so far) but their bakery items are SO good! I got 4 different things when I went and each item was delicious, I'd order all of them again. The guy working that day was very nice and helpful. This is a place I'll absolutely return to as often as I can!

    Roast beef sandwich (no cheese)
    Emily W.

    Stopped here for lunch on a long car ride and I think it's a great pick! Lots of meat on the sandwiches, if you're into that, and great fresh bread. However, I wish that the slices of bread were large enough for my meat and toppings. Top piece was very small and made it unwieldy to manage. Don't have a picture, but the everything Turkey and cranberry chicken salad looked amazing. If I went back, I would probably also get something from their vast bakery selection. Unfortunately there is no bathroom available for the customers.

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.

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!

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.

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.

However, if you want to substitute onion rings instead of fries it will cost you $8 extra, making it a $26 meal. So really you're just buying a side of onion rings and also not getting the fries. This is not a substitution. This is buying more and getting less. Please tell me how this makes any sense!?!? I gave quite a bit of push back along with some real life number crunching... but the employee could not seem to understand the lack of logic that, based on their menu prices, an onion ring substitution should be more like $1, and not $8. This is adding 45% to the cost of the meal which is absurd. This is not a surcharge, it's just buying onion rings and also not getting the fires that come with the meal. I wasn't going to pay $26 for a burger, so got the fries which were actually amazing, but not what I wanted... and the burger just was okay... but I can't seem to get over their lack of understanding that this makes no sense. Just write no substitutions if you don't want to bother catering to your customers! I was a tourist heading home from a mini vacation and REALLY craving onion rings, this venue made me super grumpy for no good reason except stubbornness and lack of math skills and reasoning and customer service.
