Bryce’s Top 5

1. Bad Monkey - Breakfast and brewery towards Ocean City, Maryland. Bryce loves to go for breakfast for the complimentary monkey bread and the breakfast tacos.
2. Kohr Bros - Frozen custard, the closest location is in downtown Bethany. Bryce recommends the vanilla/peanut butter stack.
3. Grotto Pizza - Bryce recommends the buffalo chicken boli and traditional pizza. He likes to eat in or get take out after a long day at the beach. There is one located South of Bethany at the York Beach Mall for fast take out or head to the one on 26 for a fun atmosphere to eat in.
4. DiFebos Market - Bryce recommends the Sicilian pizza, but we have never had a bad thing there. Bryce is still hoping to try a breakfast sandwich, so if you get there for breakfast let us know how it is. But definitely grab something from the bakery too.
5. Ropewalk - Bryce loves this restaurant in downtown Bethany for the fun atmosphere. The drinks are served in mini pitchers and the kids’ meals are served on frisbees.

Trey’s Top 5

1. Ocean View Brewing - Trey recommends visiting here for dinner for the DanDan Noodles. It’s right down 26 (Atlantic Ave.) They get busy so make sure to plan accordingly. Take out is not always available during busy times, but you will want to eat there for the cool vibe.
2. Sunshine Crepes - Trey recommends the Staff’s favorite crepe. It is located downtown in the Bethany Beach Town Center. We love to bike ride there, but if you go early enough you can find parking nearby. Sunshinecrepes.com
3. Ba Roos Ice Cream and Coffee - Trey loves that Ba Roos is located conveniently in the Marketplace at the front of Sea Colony. You can grab an açaí bowl on the way to the beach or get an ice cream treat without going into downtown Bethany.
4. Kohr Bros - Trey loves Kohr Bros too, but he goes for the peanut butter/chocolate twist.
5. Bethany Blues - Trey loves all the bbq meats at Bethany Blues, we recommend making reservations online if you want to dine in. It’s located in downtown Bethany. We also like to order the BBQ Family Pack for take out with an extra side of cornbread. Bethanyblues.com

Boys’ Honorable Mention

If you have kids in your group, Trey and Bryce recommend making a trip one evening to Funland on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. The boardwalk games are so fun with reasonable prices.

Stacy’s Top 5

1. Oceanside Deli - They are located right at the beach in the Edgewater Building. It’s super convenient to grab a Starbucks for an early morning beach trip or a soft pretzel for an afternoon snack.
2. Food Trucks at T-4 Aquatic Center - My favorite is the chicken tenders and fries from Tipsy Flamingo. Make sure to check the schedule. It’s a fun pool with splash pad for little ones, too.
3. Sunshine Crepes - This place is a family favorite. I always go for a crepe with fruit. Also, check out Sunshine Baguette (it’s a couple shops down in the Bethany Town Center); it is a gourmet grab and go
4. Bethany Beach Books - I love to read at the beach and this bookstore is so fun to browse or feel free to borrow some of our favorites that we have around the house.
5. Ice Cream - You need to have ice cream somewhere at the beach. I love Bonkey’s or Ba Roos for the Cookie Monster ice cream. DiFebo’s Market also has some great homemade ice cream, and you can never go wrong with Kohr Bros custard.

Honorable Mention

Millville Boardwalk - Down route 26 is the Millville Boardwalk which includes Agape Creamery with various live entertainment, mini-golf, and our favorite arcade. Ladies, check out the cute boutique across the street, Prickly Gal.

Sam’s Top 5

Like father like son, you will notice a lot of repeats on Sam and the boys’ top 5 lists.

1. DiFebos Market - So many wonderful things to grab from the market, paninis, pizza, bakery items and more.
2. Sunshine Crepes - A father/son favorite, Sam will also order the Staff’s Favorite.
3. Bad Monkey - Breakfast at the beach is a favorite for Sam and the boys, they love grabbing the traditional breakfast at the Bethany Diner on 26, but if you are up for a drive, head to Bad Monkey and Sam recommends the Cinnamonkey.
4. Ocean View Brewing - Sam will also order the DanDan Noodles, but he is pushing hard for them to make the Chicken and Waffles Special an all the time menu item.
5. Mickey’s Family Crab House - Mickey’s is such a fun experience. A great place for AUCE Blue Snow Crabs or get a half dozen for the table to try.

Honorable Mention

Sandy Pony Donuts - Sam’s favorite sweet treat is a donut. Sandy Pony has made to order cake donuts in two locations in Bethany. And Sam has to mention BaRoos. BaRoos is Sam’s favorite ice cream place, he recommends peanut butter ripple with peanut butter sauce.
