Coastal Baking Co. — Restaurant in Cape Charles

Food is awesome here the service was not. I witness the lady behind the counter. Treat several other customers with respect and asked if they wanted their food here to go or if they needed any utensils or napkins. when it was my turn to order she stared at me.i also had the correct amount of money in my hand cash. She looked at it. I counted it out in front of her and told me I didn't. So I pulled out my card and then she told me it's finicky but everybody else who paid with card she didn't mention that to them. Didn't ask me if I needed anything else if I was going to eat it here or to go or ask me anything. When my food was ready as I witness her actually hand the food to other people. She set my food down shoved utensils and napkins, sticking out of the box and then walked away. She didn't even set it on the counter by the register. She said it it on a ledge by the kitchen. Upon leaving I walked back inside to throw away trash. She stopped mid-conversation and asked me did I need anything. Let's be honest she didn't like the way I looked. She did not place my food on the counter. She placed it on the little wooden ledge closest to the kitchen for this away from...

We have the privilege of living locally and frequenting Coastal Baking Co. on the regular, but sometimes we are still surprised in the most delightful way! Despite it being a busy, busy Memorial Day weekend, when I stopped by to pick up a pie I’d ordered, Nicholas was behind the counter cheerfully waiting on a line of customers (he’s a national treasure!). My turn and I was rung up and on my way with not just my pie, but my favorite blueberry cream cheese pastries.

Now, can we talk about that pie? Cassie roasted those beautiful local strawberries until they were a luscious, deeply intense, jammy filling of springtime joy. It was heaven on a plate. Berry, berry delicious filling.

If you find yourself in Cape Charles, go over to see Cassie and crew at Coastal Baking Co. from breakfast biscuits to muffins, Indian dishes and massive sandwiches, you can’t go wrong. Grab an outside table or take it to the beach. Heck, take it home and eat it, but don’t miss the opportunity for some great cooking and even greater...

Overall, cute, local spot at the beginning of historic Cape Charles.

Wait time: the bakery still has COVID restrictions with no in-door seating. They currently ask that only 2 parties are inside at one time. So, a line builds up pretty quickly outside. Just a heads up, you’ll likely have to wait, but the line moves pretty fast.

Food:

Biscuits are excellent. We got the sausage biscuits, which comes with 2 biscuits in 1 order.

Cinnamon Roll: We were so looking forward to this pastry, but it was VERY dry. Such a disappointment as we went first thing in the morning to grab a fresh pastry.

Coffee: Wouldn’t bother getting anything but an ice or drip coffee. We ordered an iced latte and they gave us an iced coffee with vanilla and milk. I asked for a change and they suggested “ice coffee with milk is how we make a latte here.” If you want a latte, just specify you want it with espresso

Again, cute spot. But didn’t hit the quality mark a 4.9 rated...
