I am visiting on the off season and didn't realize how many places would be closed. Luckily this bakery was open. Very cute inside, it's very inviting. The woman behind the counter was so friendly and even tried making recommendations based on what she knows was still open (thank you!). Aesthetically everything was perfect, it was hard to choose just one pastry. I got the sourdough loaf and the cheese danish and the lemon cheese danish. The bread was delicious and the danishes were some of the best ones I've ever had. This bakery is a must!

Charming little bakery in historic Cape Charles. We arrived a few minutes before 9:00am, they opened at 8:30. They were already out of chocolate croissants. By the time we placed our order at 9:17 they were out of plain croissants and cinnamon twists. I get that everything is freshly baked, but it seems they need to plan a little better than that. There were 4 girls behind the counter, but they only waited on one customer at a time, with one girl having to repeat everything in the order to another girl to ring them up. I ordered a bagel with lox spread and got veggie spread, we also had the monkey bread, blueberry muffin and a breakfast sandwich, all of which were good.

After vacationing in Cape Charles, we discovered Mason Avenue Bakery. The inside was clean and well kept. The baked goods on display all looked very good. The raspberry tart, chocolate walnut brownie and all of their sandwiches were fantastic. The service was quick and friendly and they helped make recommendations. I recommend taking a visit if you are in Cape Charles.

Mason Avenue bakery is in the same site as the former "Bakery on Mason" and happily continues the excellent selection and quality of baked goods. I was so happy to see a bakery had moved in! I talked to the cashier and it seems the new owners bought the location and recipes lick, stick, and barrel so all our favorites were back. Highly recommend the baguettes, sourdough, cinnamon twist, and sandwiches. Be forewarned, the line forms early and can be long. Understandable, given the quality. Stop by!

Cute little lunch place - the tuna sandwich on their own baguette (the Skipjack, as they call it) was tasty, fresh and the perfect size for an after-beach meal.

This is a lovely bakery right by the beach in Cape Charles! I've gotten probably 10 different bakery items from here and everything has been truly amazing! I even got my dog some treats here and she loved them. The people working are always incredibly nice. I wish I lived closer, I'd visit this bakery all the time!

The best little beach bakery! Stopped in after parking in the public parking lot nearby. Just wanted to grab an iced coffee and maybe a bagel for breakfast on the beach. I was so pleasantly surprised to find much, much more than a bagel shop. I couldn't decide on what to get-everything looked amazing! The two young ladies at the counter were very helpful, even made suggestions. The rest of the staff were all upbeat and pleasant in the background of the store, just adding to the atmosphere. I ordered the open faced almond croissant with an iced coffee and man, it was SCRUMPTIOUS! $8 and change was extremely generous in pricing so I was sure to tip. Will absolutely make a stop here again when visiting Cape Charles!

Great sourdough! Great service and one of the guys (owner I'm guessing) was very excited about his bread and talking about what he puts in there. Love to see someone offer and great product and be excited about it. Thanks!!

We are in Cape Charles for the third time, but this is the first time we have tried Mason Avenue Bakery. I am not sure why, because holy cow this is a no miss. This is probably one of the best bakeries I have ever been to. I will be dreaming of their chocolate croissant, their almond pastry, their buttery soft and crunchy corners. The wait is always half an hour, apparently, and the staff seems a little confused at big orders, but they are all kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quaint and mysterious, somehow, and I think the wait adds to the allure.

Got myself a Cinnamon swirl which was good. Did not have a variety of drinks. This bakery is family owned and service was great!
