HOT COFFEE, COOL VIBES.

Question: What do you get when you combine hand-crafted coffee and vogue cuisine with a laid-back beach vibe that, oh, by the way, also happens to include an Instagrammable showroom experience? Answer: The Coffee House in Rehoboth.

With summer approaching, we’re excited to announce the relaunch of our coffeehouse and new home showroom, located just a few steps from the beach in downtown Rehoboth. For the better part of ten years, our Schell Brothers team has collaborated with local restaurateurs to manage the popular space at 18 Rehoboth Avenue. Last season, we decided to branch out on our own, tapping award-winning Chef Nate Leonard to lead the new launch and ongoing operation. As the executive chef for Schell Brothers, Nate is launching a new concept that will be part sales center and part coffeehouse, served with a hearty helping of Schell Brothers shenanigans. In addition to enjoying hand-crafted beverages and fresh-sourced food, guests will have the opportunity to view a wide variety of floorplans, explore new communities, and learn about our remarkable mission of happiness.

As we plan for a summer 2021 opening, our team has been busy developing several new features in the reimagined space. In true Schell Brothers style, The Coffee House will include a Project Kudos corner that encourages people to take time out of their day to recognize the goodness in others. And, just for fun, visitors will be invited to snap a pic in front of a unique Instagram mural wall or in the specially designed selfie bathrooms. But the transformation doesn’t stop there. The redesigned space will include a beach-inspired interior with layers of colors that provide a constant reminder of the sun and sand, just footsteps away. A variety of branded treasures will be available for purchase, from plush beach towels to fun and kitschy Rehoboth key chains.

A beloved coffeehouse requires a great cup of joe and this is where The Coffee House truly shines. Artisanal coffee will be sourced by Local, a micro-batch roastery based in nearby Seaford. By approaching coffee with the same care and commitment as a vintner with fine wine, owners Tyler and Jenni Valliant are dedicated to sourcing only fresh, organic beans from leading coffee producers around the world.

When it comes to specialty drinks and fare, Chef Nate has uncomplicated, yet delicious, plans. From strawberry matcha tea with boba to delicious flavored coffees coupled with stacked cold seafood sandwiches, overnight oats, and fresh acai bowls, this healthy beach cuisine won’t disappoint. Thanks to Nate’s longtime connections with local growers such as Rob at Totem Farm, The Coffee House will feature wholesome, authentic dishes that include a bountiful farmers market salad and other goodness from the ground.

To kick up the impact of coffee, food, and sheer fun, weekly events will be scheduled at The Coffee House all summer long thanks to the talent of local artisans and musicians. Whether you are a long-time resident or first-time visitor, we hope you’ll love Rehoboth’s newest, re-invented—and uniquely Instagrammable— gathering space.
