We've had a variety of pastries cookies and donuts over the years--all craveworthy! A few outdoor tables but most people take it home--if it lasts the car ride! Along the Georgetown Lewes bike path at Nassau and New Rd. read more

We enjoyed their delicious quiche Lorraine, scones and baklava. We will try to visit them as I'm sure the road construction is affecting their business. The associate was very helpful. Even though it is a small store, it has a wide array of baked goods. read more

Fantastic variety of baked goods! Outdoor seating available and right beside the rail trail! Service was fast and friendly! We ordered muffins and coffee and both were great! read more

Popped in on a Saturday morning to a nice crowd. The flow seemed a bit chaotic as a first timer. I wanted to look at the items in the case, but there were team members directing customers to the far left register which interrupted my view. They utilize a process in which a team member works the line taking orders and then directing you where to be rung up. The clunky ordering process aside, the food was top-notch. The SEC was great. Some hot sauce will take it over the top. The donut (which I believe is baked), is flavorful (give it about 20 secs on medium power to do it justice). Big fan of the pretzel too. It may not look like much, but its got good flavor. And that's what counts. Worth a stop the next time you're in Millsboro! read more

I have stopped here twice and loved everything I have tried. It is a small location but lots of options of baked goods. I will say if you come in the afternoon they may be out of quite of few of the items. So far we have tried croissants, scones and some of the breads. You walk in and someone is pretty quick to help you out but they are very friendly because the first I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices but they never made me feel rushed. I also picked up some of the garlic butter and it was divine. A great place with freshly baked good and very worth a visit. I would highly recommend stopping in when your are in the mood for some great baked goods. read more

This place has naturally fermented sourdough, which is very tasty. They also have delicious pastries. Fair prices. Staff always pleasant and efficient. Highly recommend. read more

The best bakery anywhere along the Coastal Highway. The variety of bakery products are the best.

Best bakery in the area by far. I stop here every Saturday for a loaf and other goodies. read more

Love their olive bread and danishes! All of their breads and pastries are excellent! Get there early for the best choices!

Absolutely delicious, such a wide variety and they do everything well, we loved the lemon donuts, sourdough, cinnamon roll, lentil handpies, and the croissants - an absolute must visit! read more

Only open a few days a week and very limited hours. When you call and ask for a simple bacon, egg and cheese sandwich they say NO! They only offer the PRE-MADE Fritatta's that sit there under their heat lamps. Very disappointing. And the basic bread isn't very good yet over priced. read more

(Long Neck location) Here's my fear. It's a numbers scenario. The numbers are good, maybe even too good and they'll only get better. This bakery is that good. This place is busy. But not you know line goes out the door and runs all the way to Williamsburg good. Place opens at 7. If you're local great. If you have to drive even a little bit not so great. This is fresh baked goods not a factory and once the day's fresh from the heat is gone it's gone. By 10 my selection was sold out. My fear is that this place will get too popular and to achieve more customer satisfaction will somehow become less. Let's hope not. Incredible tartines, cakes, breads and pastries to die for. Cliche! Try one. The joint on Long Neck is primarily for take out but there are a few seats inside and picnic tables outside. There's wood paneling and blue painted walls. Baker racks and a glass display to press your nose against. Orders are taken while you stand in line or at the register and dispatched without much delay. Service quite friendly and informative. Go early. Go but maybe don't tell your friends just yet. Let us have this brief moment in time when it was our bakery and there was a sense the shelves and racks would always be full as were our bellies. We've had & took with us: Tomato Pie -- lovely Apple tart Raspberry Danish Salmon tartine -- great Coffee cake muffin -- moist Americano! read more

This place is adorable and they have baked goods stacked sky high when you enter into the bakery. The staff is friendly and everything in the cases looked fresh and delicious. The prices are really affordable too. I always love finding nee bakeries when I travel. We placed an order online 48 hours before we would be picking up. The process went smoothly and we picked up our order with no hassle. Our order included chocolate chip cookies, coconut macaroon, blueberry scone, seeded bread, cinnamon roll, lemon donut, apple cider donut and the gluten free shortbread blueberry bread. I can't help but say we were incredibly disappointed with each and everything we ordered. The chocolate chip cookies were lacking flavor and didn't have many chocolate chips. They are big but not big in taste. The donuts were definitely not donuts and like more cake. They weren't good at all. The scone was dry and too airy. The blueberry bar was just okay as was the bread. The coconut macaroon cookie was decent. The bread wasn't very firm and broke easily. Something just felt off about all the baked goods. They were very airy and lacking real flavorful. I wanted to love this place but sadly, it was a big disappointment. read more

Great selection of pastries and bread. Love the croissants. Friendly staff. Great location on the bike trail.

The food and the selection is incredible! My band is playing tonight at a nearby brewery and my wife and I came out here a day early from Maryland. We got mini quiche, raspberry danish, salmon tartine, and orange cardamom bread. Everything was fantastic! The employees are attentive and helpful even when it was really crowded. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went for Breakfast Food - 5/5. Croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery. There was a good amount of ham and I loved how the cheese encased the inside of the croissant. The scones had a good balance between firm exterior and a mild interior. The hints of lemon helped keep the flavor light and the rosemary added a beautiful aroma. Awesome bread! Service - 4/5. Greeted with a warm, friendly smile in the early morning. Value - 5/5. Pastries are around $5 or under and of good size. Interior is charming and gives the vibe of a cute, local bakery. Would stop by again! Parking - Private Lot (Free) read more

Who's the biggest fan of the lavash crackers at Old World? These crackers are so good, super crunchy and LOW CARB. I'm not sure what kind of seasoning spice is put on the crackers but it's so addicting. The crackers are perfect on their own or dipped in hummus, or cheese. Only 1 g carbs for 4 crackers. They are in Bethany on Wednesdays in the Marketplace at Sea Colony or Sundays in downtown Bethany. read more

I bought 3 items and all were either day old or just plain stale. Almond paste in the pastry was pure sugar paste with almond flavoring, very gritty. Chocolate cookie was large, but very dry and stale. read more

What a great place. I have had the pleasure of trying some of these goodies at various times when I'm in town. They have a fun selection of breakfast sweets & savories, as well as lunch-y types things. I was so thankful that they offered local delivery so I could treat my sister to some treats for her birthday. She loved being surprised with a special delivery! read more

The food here is not good and not fresh! The pastries are probably the only thing worth trying. We ordered the $11.50 pepperoni flatbread which was cold/room temperature!!; the $7 breakfast sandwich which is actually a small very dry stale bread roll not a "sandwich"; chocolate croissant roll $8; lemon donut $2.50; $2.25 chocolate chip cookie. Everything is premade in the morning so it's not fresh (i.e. pepperoni flatbread/pizza). We were there at 11am. We will not be returning. read more

Mein Sohn und ich haben vor kurzem vorbeigeschaut, um Brot zu kaufen als wir Familie in der Gegend besuchten. Nach einer Woche weiches Brot aus den örtlichen Lebensmittelgeschäften hatten wir endlich einen Ort gefunden, an dem das Brot nicht nur essbar war, sondern auch Ballaststoffe enthielt und frisch schmeckte. Die Auswahl ging weit über Brot hinaus, aber das war der Grund für unseren Besuch und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Meine einzige Beschwerde, die nichts mit der Qualität zu tun hat, ist, dass sie mir die Menge an Kohlenhydraten im Produkt nicht sagen konnten. Um ehrlich zu sein, würde ich von einem Bäcker erwarten, dass er in der Lage ist, die Menge an Makro- und Mikronährstoffen bereitzustellen. Essen, Service und Ambiente = 5/5! ---------- My son and I recently stopped in for bread while visiting family in the area. After a week of sponge-like bread from the local grocery stores, we had finally found a place where the bread was not only edible but actually contained fiber and tasted fresh. Their menu of items went well beyond breads but this was the reason for our visit and we weren't disappointed. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the quality, is that they could not tell me the amount of carbohydrates in the product. To be honest, I would expect a baker to be able to provide the quantity of macro- and micro-nutrients. Food, service and ambiance = 5/5! read more

We've been to Old World Bread many times, However this past weekend we hosted a brunch with goods from OWB that were so amazing I had to leave a review. I ordered over the phone as I was late ( online ordering requires 48 hours) and was able to secure everything I wanted for our guests. We had a bacon and caramelized onion quiche, it was unbelievable Friends who say they don't care for quiche ate it up! Coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls, lemon donuts (!) and gluten free blueberry lemon crunch bars completed my order. When I say everything was amazing ~ I mean amazing! The flavors couldn't be beat. This is not a bakery where you get a birthday or wedding cake,, but if you want great breads, pastries, and light lunch options old world is your choice. read more

This small take out bakery is located right off of the Nassau reserve trail. When we walked in at 7:30am on a Sunday it was already quite busy, but there were plenty of staff and multiple people asked if they could help us immediately. It's a little bit confusing if you've never been there because there's no number system or anything, an employee just kind of claims you and starts filling your pastry order. They were very nice and I heard them explaining things to other customers. They had a wide variety of pastries, cookies, breads, pies, sandwiches, and even an açaí bowl. We also got coffees which were actually quite good (just plain americanos). So onto the pastries themselves. I'm a sucker for lemon so of course I had to try the lemon donut and it did not disappoint. It was a lemon cake donut, no filling or anything but it was fluffy and lemony and delicious! My go to way of judging a bakery though is to get a plain croissant. I could tell even at first glance that these were no Parisian croissants and then when we cut into them, they just kind of smushed down because they were a bit dense. A really good flaky croissant should crumble inward when you try to cut into it or break it apart, and you should hear that croissant crunch. Usually if a croissant is dense rather than light and airy, it means that the dough wasn't allowed to rest long enough. But that's more just a texture thing, and despite being a little dense the croissant still tasted good! I also tried the cinnamon roll, and it was a little dry, but would have been great to dip in my coffee. I look forward to going back for lunch or maybe one of their breakfast sandwiches or strawberry shortcake! read more

Their breads are wonderful, and their apple cider and lemon donuts are delicious. Although their croissants are not the best I've had, they are good considering their location. read more

I was excited to go for a specialty bread shop. The service was good and their offerings were numerous. Loved the layout and the huge glass showing all the breads. I got a baguette and a cranberry loaf. The quality of the bread is not the complaint, it's that they sell old loaves. The baguette was rock hard and even toasting with butter in a pan couldn't help it. And the cranberry loaf had been refrigerated. If you like old bread baked yesterday or the day before, this is the place for you! read more

Omg the food is to die for! So many options but get there early because they sell out! Blueberry muffin or scone is my favorite! Apple cider donut is also 10/10. read more

A friend suggested we stop at this small bakery to grab lunch and snacks before heading to Cape Henlopen on a recent Saturday afternoon --- and it was delicious!! Located just off of Route 1 near Lewes, Old World Breads has plenty of parking, but they are also along the bike trail, so there were a lot of cyclists stopping for lunch and snacks as well. They offer a vast selection of freshly baked breads and pastries, all of which looked delicious! BF ordered their roasted turkey BLT sandwich on their yummy multigrain bread, and I opted to try their vegan handpie stuffed with sweet potatoes and lentils, which was excellent. We couldn't resist trying a few cookies, ordering an oatmeal raisin and a brown butter sandwich cookie, both of which were yummy --- we avoided chocolate based cookies because we knew they'd be out in the heat for a bit, but looking forward to trying those in the future. We'll definitely plan to stop here on future beach trips! read more

Worse bakery ever! One very rude man who works there, told me to leave. All I wanted was some pastries. Very pleasant checkout lady. Gave me what I wanted. Not going back! read more

Amazing croissants and other bakery treats!! Had the peach cobbler & vanilla sprinkled cookie & it did not disappoint!

We don't like the fact that you feel like you're being watched every moment you're in there. I prefer a place where you can walk around and look at things before you make a selection. A bit pricey like most bakeries read more

The baked goods here are always exceptional! Breads, cookies and all sweets..,Love OWB!

This place is amazing! After passing Old World Breads approximately 100 times, we finally stopped in to pick up bread for dinner. We landed on a whole wheat sourdough--not something you see every day--and there were so many more selections to choose from that looked phenomenal. The bread itself was outstanding, great flavor. They had delicious-smelling pastries and other treats, so I'll definitely be back soon to try some of those! read more

Been there 3 times. Each time the staff was friendly but the product was just bad. Stale Italian rolls. Chocolate chip cookies were like biting into a rock. Last time was a loaf of Italian bread that tasted like it was frozen and put out a week later. read more
