20oz iced latte (oat milk)

Best Iced Latte I've had. Maybe it's the coffee, maybe it's the preparation. Either way, I'm enamored. Went 3 days in a row. Wish I could go every day.

Came here while visiting from Virginia last month and am still thinking about it. AMAZING coffee. I got a mocha latte and a chocolate croissant, both of which were sooo good. Flaky buttery chocolately croissant, yum. The guy serving the coffee was really fun and friendly too. I spent like two hours there shopping at the book and toy store. Reasonably priced books and a great selection that's easy to browse through. I usually have no interest in toy stores but this one was SO cool. Also has many comfy places to sit and chill, drink coffee, read, etc. The vibe of this place is unmatched. I will def be back when I'm out this way again!

Hit or miss. If the owner (I assume he's the owner) is on the machine, the shots are well pulled and the drinks well poured. The baristas-in-training, however, are inconsistent at best.

Fun and funky shop and cafe

Favorite coffee shop of all time! Friendly staff, tons of options, delicious drinks, eclectic and vintage atmosphere. Wander around and sift through the well organized book shop and vintage toys. We spend HOURS here. Mwaaah!

Super cute little coffee shop connected to some consignment shops. The workers were super friendly and attentive. The over night oats were tasty, they had a case of pasties that I did not try. They had a lot of flavors to choose from and their drip coffee tasted really smooth.

Very cool coffee house, has a vintage clothing store, used book store and toy store attached. I had lunch and a cappuccino. Glad I found this little gem

Coffee & Books. Heaven.

Lovely coffee house. Great service, cozy seating, and BOOKS! Eclectic and charming interior decor - most of which is for sale. Tasty snacks and good coffee. Needs better signage on Rt. 26 though. Signage that can be seen coming from Bethany Beach, easy to miss - difficult to forget. Stop here and relax. It's quite lovely.

Needed some caffeine during our trip & wanted to support local. Amazing cold brew & pastries! The woman who took my order even let me know the syrup I chose had dairy in it which was nice. Plenty of outdoor seating & indoors. Lots of options for syrups & sauces. They had your basic coffee shop offerings but did it so well. Definitely check this place out if you are in Bethany!!

Cold brew, oat milk, simple syrup

Any vegan food drink options? I see you have oat milk that makes me so happy!!!

Most of the drinks can be made with an alternative milk, and yes, oatmilk is one of those choices. We have a small menu. 5 breakfast items & 5 lunch sandwiches. We try to keep… Read more

I was honestly blown away by the salted pistachio latte, it was the highlight of my visit!. The bakery items were also quite good and paired perfectly with the drinks. The entire menu looks delicious, and I already have my eye on a few other items to try next time. The environment is very nice, clean, and has a great vibe. To top it off, the service was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I'll definitely be back!

Wonderful brunch!…read more Stopped in on my birthday for brunch and had a lovely experience. We had the Pistachio Honey Latte, Shakshuka, beef soup, salmon toast and maple veggies. As a Shakshuka lover who has spent time in Israel I am quite picky about my Shakshuka but I can confidently say I was pleasantly surprised by this one and enjoyed every bite! The beef soup was a bit bland unfortunately but the salmon toast has copious amounts of salmon and was delicious. The maple veggies were also wonderful. The pistachio honey latte was perfectly balanced not being overly sweet. Service was nothing to note as you seat yourself and get your own food here but staff was nice. Ambiance was alright, we had to sit out in the patio area which while heated was a less than desirable location to eat but it wasn't bad. Overall we truly enjoyed our time at The Station and will be back without a doubt.

Last summer was my first visit after seeing some friends recommend and following them on social media. We had their longboard wings, veggie wrap and jerk chicken wrap. Everything was DELICIOUS! On Wednesday of this week I stopped in for lunch with my dog and we sat on the 'boardwalk' which is what they call part of their outdoor section. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They offer a water bowl and a complimentary piece of bacon for the pups. My dog was thrilled as you can see by one of the pics =) On this visit I tried the wrinkled green been app and the St. Croix chopped salad. Both were very good. My dog ordered the kids burger plain with no bun. He had no complaints! I stole his fries which were yummy. Luke was our server on my most recent visit. He provided excellent service! He even helped me gain some more insight on bringing a large party there later this year. He got me in touch with one of the managers and I am currently coordinating with them. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants in OC and can't wait to come back in a couple months!

The only flaw was that the sauce they put on it made the fish a bit soggy on the majority of the deep fried fish.And the batter was a bit bitter. The citrus shrimp taco with flour was good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The toppings and seasoning blended very well. The cabbage gave the taco a great crunchy texture with each bite. The tacos were accompanied with chips. Alex our wait staff had a pleasant and friendly personality. He was also able explain the menu items in a helpful and informative manner. Imani another staff was very personable. I like the atmosphere. A upscale casual dinner with a beachy feel.

In my immediate neck of the woods, there are unfortunately no good local coffee shops. Drive out of…read morethe county and there are great coffee shops to choose from. My go-to, however, is Amity! Unique to Amity are their single-origin beans roasted fresh in-house! The coffee and food are delicious! The drink and food menu is ample and offers a great variety of choices, including gluten-free treats and vegetarian foods. Best part - everything is made fresh in-house! Put these menu items on your must-try list: 1) Chocolate chip cookies - I've been on a hunt for the best chocolate chip cookie and Amity's is high up on the list 2) Cafe Nico - delicious hot or cold coffee made with fresh orange citrus zest 3) Hot ham and cheese sandwich and the quiches! Very good! 4) A scone with coffee/tea is always my go-to! Amity boasts a cozy place for the community to come together, for friends to catch-up over coffee, and for small businesses to meet and network together. The venue can also be rented out for private events! You can trust Amity with its clean eatery, a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for the entire family, great hospitality, and an overall good experience. If the husband & wife-owners are working, make sure you say hello. They are super friendly and would love to welcome you to their shop.

Wow! What a gem! My family & I were driving to the Delaware…read morebeaches early morning from a significant distance--we were exhausted and depleted from the drive and were revived by this cozy (while still being spacious!) cafe, nestled on the Main Street of Greenwood, Delaware, an area one must pass through to get to the sea salty air of the beach towns. The coffee at Amity was absolutely delicious--the lattes were perfectly crafted, smooth and with just the right amount of milk & froth to create the much sought after creaminess without losing the flavour of the rich coffee itself. The Americano hit the spot for my other family member--who, too, is a coffee snob and severe coffee critic. Having spent time in Italy, few places in the US ever meet the mark for him, and yet Amity passed the test with flying colors. The green tea latte we ordered was also memorable; a sweet and reviving treat for the family member who had specifically requested it. The place itself was also pleasant and is worth noting. The warm smell of coffee that wafted throughout the spacious establishment was delightful and invigorating; the staff were helpful and efficient and clearly expert barristers. We took a little time to simply sit down and enjoy the smells and warm sense of community the place endows. I very highly recommend stopping here if you find yourself in Greenwood, Delaware and are on route to the beach; I can assure you that you won't regret it! (We didn't manage to eat here though the pastries were inviting! Given the quality of the coffee and the high standards of this cafe, I wouldn't be surprised if their food was quite good as well!)
