#Eggscellent phrase plus#

I consumed it all, plus pancake (Elina's pancakes are wonderful) and a slice of extra-crispy scrapple. It was quite good, though I personally would have liked it a bit less done. Plain and simple, but it lets me know if these people know their omelets. My first-time go-to is always the omelet, and I had the ham & cheddar. There is a total of eight omelets on the menu, including a build-your-own. The breakfast menu at Eggcellent has a long list of creative omelets including a lox omelet (salmon, onion, tomato, capers, cream cheese) and their top-of-the-list Eggcellent Omelet (basically their Florentine omelet, add mushrooms and black olives). Even if you're there for breakfast, don't miss this soup! I have to get this out of the way before I go any farther: The Cream of Crab Soup at Eggcellent is already a Rehoboth Foodie Pick Hit! Silky, creamy and not at all floury, the soup is loaded with chunks of crabmeat and is delicately seasoned. After what has seemed like forever, I finally made it in there – thanks to prodding from our friends Kevin and Debbie Short (Debbie is also an alumnus of Sunrise in Dewey!) Elina was a guest on my Beach Eats radio show in June 2020 just before they opened on July 17th. The cozy Eggscellent has a surprisingly big menu for its size, and the service could not be friendlier. She returned to the United States permanently, earning an accounting degree at Delaware Technical & Community College while working here and there – mostly serving breakfasts and lunches.

Additionally, both Elina and Dina both took care of customers at the iconic Sunrise Restaurant in Dewey Beach.Įlina met the guy who was to become her husband when she came here from Russia for a vacation in 2007. Funny coincidence – Elina and Dina are both from the same city in Russia, both have degrees in accounting, but they never met until they both emigrated to America. The new owners, Elina Kamalova and her husband, are no strangers to the breakfast/lunch schedule – Elina worked for her good friend Dina Escamilla at The Nook in Milton, and Elina's husband worked at diners and breakfast spots all around Delaware. The former Cafe Azafran spot is now all about breakfast and lunch. The old Gate House is now the (relatively new) Eggcellent breakfast/lunch spot. It became Gate House Restaurant for a while, and that closed shortly after the Gates family took over the Buttery in Lewes and rebranded it as 2nd Street Tavern. in Lewes? After Richard Steele and family opened Azafran #2 in Rehoboth Beach, they closed the Lewes Azafran. Remember where Cafe Azafran used to be on Market St.
