We chose this for a somewhat late breakfast over places like Royal Treat, that had huge lines. The downside of that decision was a pretty long wait for food, but it's a pleasant spot and there's always coffee. Banana pancakes were good, lots of selection. more

My wife was not particularly thrilled with this establishment. We went for breakfast. She ordered an egg & cheese sandwich and only finished half. I got french toast with a scrambled egg and sausage links. The links were kind of strange looking but they didn't taste too bad. Everything else was just ok. If I had to do it all... more

We have had breakfast at the Retro Cafe over the last several years several times, as much as we have eaten in other morning restaurants, and Retro is my favorite RB site for breakfast (well, a tie with Cafe Papillon, which is for an entirely different morning). I have read the reviews describing poor service, but that has never been... more

We had a very good breakfast here, especially the Cranberry pancakes. The staff was so nice to us and so quick with our order. Try to have breakfast here when you're in Rehoboth Beach, you will enjoy the setting and the food. more

The Retro Cafe was a heavenly stop for a weary traveler. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming; the service was unhurried but attentive. The only difficulty was choosing from the extensive menu. I wnt with the Cranberry Pancakes and Sausage - an excellent choice! The bottomless cup of coffee was fresh and bold. All in all it was a wonderful... more

The cranberry pancakes were perfect with a wonderful blend of berries and brown sugar - tart and sweet! The coffee was full and rich tasting just as I like it. The menu has so many enticing items it was hard to choose and makes me wish I lived closer so I could become a "regular!" Rosie from New Jersey more

My husband and I have been going to Retro Café for a couple years now. I even had a chance to bring my parents from Ohio for a Beignet Wednesday in January. We've had such great experiences that we decided to have our post-wedding breakfast with our friends and family at Retro last month. Even with such a large group,... more

Once again, we had a great time at breakfast at the Retro Cafe! For the past 2 years, we have enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere, welcoming and accommodating staff, and fantastic food! Jim, the owner, always welcomes us with a hug and a "it's so nice to see you again!" My personal favorite is the pesto omlette- add the chicken and... more

Several years ago we walked past the intimate porch setting of the Retro and glanced at the menu, deciding we needed to try their unique and creative pancakes options. Now, whenever we plan our twice yearly trips to Rehoboth. our mouths begin to water just thinking about breakfast at the Retro. The cranberry pancakes, blueberry pancakes and the occasionally offered... more

We stopped in for breakfast during the off season (October) and experienced okay over priced food with the worst service ever. Our table ordered an egg sandwich, vegetable breakfast wrap, and a side of home fries and coffee. The coffee came but with no cream and sugar even after we asked two times for cream and sugar. Finally we gave... more
