The Scene – What started as a bakery in 1975 has expanded to include a large dinning room where vacationers gather for strong coffee and casual breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owner, Rachel Doering, helped overturn the law prohibiting food consumption on the sidewalk--and in the process won over the town.

Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- The bakery--where you'll find bagels, croissants, cookies and more--is adjacent to the restaurant, has its own entrance and open until 4am.
- What to Drink:
- The full-bodied coffee will help you shake off last night's hangover; wine by the glass and bottle and bottled beer are also available.
- Know Before You Go:
- A kids menu gives the little ones a menu all of their own.
very good devils food cake and coffe cake
by Bevs
the devils food cake is so moist. My husband has been coming to this place for ~20yrs. The coffee cake is good too, but a little too much crumbs on top -- the crumbs are as high as the cake. It would be great of less crumbs and more cake. The cake part of the coffee cake is incredibly delicious! Rachel's got a really good special recipe!
- Pros: fresh bakery goods
- Cons: long line
Best frozen cappuccino
by liljessyboop
Walked by on a hot sunny morning in search of iced coffee, decided to order a frozen cappuccino. Clearly the best i've ever had! topped with whipped cream, cinnamon and chocolate syrup! What a pleasant surprise!
Best Crumb Cake Ever
by cconning
Every summer I look forward to my trip out to Fire Island and my mouth waters when I think of the unbelievable crumb cake at Rachels! A trip to Ocean Beach is not complete without it!
