DiFebo's Market

The best way to describe the scene when you walk into DiFebo’s Market is that it’s like watching a choreographed dance (especially considering our visits were just days before Thanksgiving). On our first visit (for ice cream), we knew we’d be back soon for a meal. The unique flavors were so delicious and the market so fun that I forgot to take photos of each of our dishes. The chocolate orange was our favorite flavor with mint Oreo and berry poptart close seconds! When we walked in for our second visit (to get lunch and some pastries to go), we were immediately greeted by the server who scooped our frozen treats and remembered us as “the ice cream family” from yesterday. Though extremely busy, everyone at each counter was ready to answer questions and take our order. For lunch we selected several sandwiches for our group to share: Paninis: Di Brown’s Chicken & Brie and Caprese, Focaccia: Turkey & Cucumber, and 13” Mambos: Italian Cold Cut & Roma Chicken Caesar. The portions are generous, and we all were excited about the leftovers. While waiting for the paninis to be heated, we browsed the pastry counter and selected 6 pastries (how could we not?!). We especially appreciated the conversation about items that would be allergy friendly for one family member. After dinner we created a smorgasbord, splitting each pastry into 6; they were divine! I can’t recommend this local spot highly enough and only wish we lived closer, so I could visit more frequently.

We recently moved to Rehoboth Beach and have started branching out looking for businesses that give us a reason to take a drive. DiFebo’s market has become our number one reason to head south on Rte 1.

It’s a great little Italian market that makes fantastic paninis! We like to stop in for lunch, split a sandwich and eat at the window. Next we pick something sweet to split for dessert, (the cannolis are unusually good). Finally we pick a couple things out of the showcase to incorporate into dinner before heading back home….( TRY THE FRESH PASTA!!! )

We haven’t tried everything yet, and it’s pretty pricey, so it might take a while to try all they have to offer. But everything we’ve had has been spot on and definitely worth the price.

Best of all, every single person who has waited on us has been knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. I can’t wait to go back!

My family lives in Bethany Beach and this is one my favorite places to go for my morning walk. They have everything you could need from breakfast, coffee, sandwiches and ice cream. All of the workers are so friendly and knowledgeable. My only (personal) complaint is a couple years ago they had the best buffalo chicken panini with blue cheese I have EVER had, and I have never seen it on the menu again. Every time I go, I hope to see it again. BUT, all the other options are delicious. They have a big, free parking lot and wonderful outdoor seating. I highly recommend stopping by and trying out the restaurant as well!
