Editorial Review for Rachel's Bakery and Restaurant – by Erin Behan
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. The casual, high-ceilinged room is paneled floor-to-ceiling and has local art hanging on its walls. Service can be slow when crowds are at their peak, but no one's in a hurry here.
The Food
Breakfast that stretches into lunch is a weekend favorite, and Rachel's makes respectable versions of the classics such as fluffy pancakes, eggs Benedict with a tangy Hollandaise sauce, and an overstuffed breakfast burrito that would be perfect if only the potato chunks were smaller. Lunch veers American with hot grilled sandwiches, burgers, wraps and salads, and dinner includes chicken parmigiana, flank steak and pasta.

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!
