Beach Break Bakrie - Bethany Beach

Great muffins. Service continues to be somewhat unfriendly.

I've resisted leaving a review in the past, assuming i'm doing something wrong. And remained consistently polite in spite of just flat out rude staff. Like, they're rude from go, every time. They're nice to the BBP, so I guess maybe it's a local vs tourist thing? Could be ageism, I suppose; I am old compared to 18yos.Also they appear to not follow standard health code when prepping food; eg, the employees mixing batter and not wearing anything to keep their long hair from falling in.Anyway, I get it working service is not fun, and I imagine I'd dislike tourists if I were a local. So I don't begrudge these teens their anger... but it does make the place unpleasant.

I just left the Beach Break Bakrie with my parents. It’s 10:54am on Saturday, July 1st. I have never in my life experienced such horrible and disrespectful service. There were a group of people waiting in the restaurant for a new pot of coffee to finish brewing and the girl with the blonde pulled back hair gave such a snarling attitude to everyone that some people left without coffee and some people left with decaf because they didn’t want to be “in her way” anymore. My parents had forgotten if they ordered a medium or large coffee and when they asked her to reconfirm, you would have thought they were asking this girl to run a marathon. She threw up her hands and reluctantly looked through the receipts. We didn’t want to cause any more “trouble” so just took a small cup to end the clearly traumatic experience. When people were asking about getting an iced coffee (which is on the menu), she rolled her eyes and said “well obviously the coffee is hot first”. We just arrived in Bethany Beach and this completely ruined our first experience. The only silver lining that is we made friends with about 5 strangers who were also in shock at this girls’ behavior. You should really be weary who you have representing your business.

It’s a huge bummer because I really liked this place but my sister got a wrap with a Band-Aid in it, which she proceeded to accidentally get a mouthful of. I watched her face twist in horror when she realized what she had in her mouth. We called to tell them what happened and they were totally unapologetic about it. Probably can’t go back now even though this is the closest breakfast place to us.

LOVE this place! It is our favorite lunch place. Everything is delicious. The muffins are wonderful!
