Blueberry pancakes with a side of sausage

Delicious scones and croissants! The staff and owners are friendly and took the time to chat with me about their extensive menu for vegetarians. What a lovely snack experience. I'll be back!

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!

Nice display case full of great treats.

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.

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.

Banana Nutella crepe

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.

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.

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 !

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.

Weird salted caramel ice coffee
Lana S.

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.

Large cappuccino

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.

Sugar free cookie
Indiasky B.

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.

Dessert case
Jasmine S.

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.

The manager and workers are very nice. I like the music they play. I like the coffee, the cookies, and the baklava.

The vegan muffins (they've featured a chocolate and pumpkin so far) are AMAZING. I also love the turnovers and draft lattes. Def recommend!

I'd tried to come here previously, and the wait was going to be around an hour (at noon on a…read moreSaturday), and we ultimately gave up. This time, we arrived at 11 on a Sunday, and the wait was expected to be about 30 minutes. We decided to stick it out this time. Lo and behold, after 30 minutes, we got the call--it was raining so we hung out under a nearby awning-- and away we went to sit at the window counter/bar, which afforded us a nice view of people going in and out as they joined the queue. I now understand why people line up for this place: they serve an outstanding brunch. I had one of the omelettes of the day, which in this case was artichoke, bacon and mozzarella. While that may seem like an odd combination--I can't remember ever having an omelette with artichoke in it--it totally worked. In fact, it was one of the best omelettes I've had in recent memory. It also came with a yummy biscuit (especially yummy if you ask them to bring you honey butter) and breakfast potatoes (I accessorized their ketchup with a bit of hot sauce and bingo). My dining companion also really enjoyed his spinach, feta and mushroom omelette. Service was friendly and efficient without ever making us feel rushed. Prices are reasonable, and there are a whole lot of things that looked yummy around us, especially the challah stuffed French toast--I definitely wouldn't mind splitting that with a friend on a future visit.

Perfect for lunch! Wait staff was the best we've seen in a while, the food was served hot, the…read moreingredients were fresh: Fresh mushrooms, and fresh spinach in my omelette. Parking is a little difficult in this neighborhood, but we found a an open lot directly behind the restaurant. Unfortunately, there was a loud loudmouth woman sitting in the corner, who wouldn't shut up throughout our lunch- that was a bit disturbing. The restaurant was top-notch! Highly recommended.
