Royal Treat- Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor Steps From Rehoboth Beach, DE

2017 Update: Royal Treat is open for the season, and still the same old-fashioned place we love!

Original 2009 Post:

Within steps from the sand "The Treat" is a great stop for 2 treats in one, tasty breakfast and old fashioned ice cream!

Tucked away in a big old fashioned beach house that used to be the a hotel at the beginning of the last century,  I was surprised to learn that it's current incarnation as a breakfast and ice cream spot  has only been for the past 27 years, as it gives off the vibe of having been there since Rehoboth became a vacation destination forever ago.

Eating breakfast on one of the two big screen porches or in the clean old fashioned dining room is a beachy treat— eggs, double thick toast, bacon, pancakes  and the like await you.  Tasty breakfast fare in the sunshine is a great way to start a vacation day.

After 11:30 the doors close  to ready for the 1pm reopening when  it is transformed into an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Order at the counter then perch on a porch, or take it to go as you stroll down the boardwalk. The portions are generous and the toppings are varied, making everyone happy!

At the Royal Treat step up the stairs and step back in time.
