The Incredible Restaurant In Delaware With Almost As Many Desserts As Main Dishes

Looking for something sweet to eat? Just step into The Backyard. For over a decade, this welcoming restaurant in Milton, Delaware has been serving creative twists on traditional menu items, including desserts. With a rich selection of bakery items alongside a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu that ranges from creative to classic, The Backyard is just the place for satisfying your sweet tooth. The Backyard is housed in a humble building resembling a diner, but inside, guests will find an unexpected dessert wonderland waiting for them.

The Backyard began as just a small idea in 2011 and soon became a fully-fledged restaurant and bakery offering a creative twist on traditional favorites. This inviting restaurant focuses on local and seasonal foods, showcasing the best that Milton has to offer.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted with charming décor that reflects both local farms and the restaurant’s seaside proximity. It’s a comfortable and cozy space to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Or you can even just grab a cup of coffee and a bakery treat. Feel free to indulge in a sweet specialty latte (the cinnamon oat latte is a house favorite).

The breakfast menu is worth stumbling out of bed for, with savory items like the "big breakfast BLT." Classics like omelettes and eggs with biscuits and gravy are also on the menu.

You can also start your day with something extra sweet, like Nutella and whipped cream-stuffed French toast.

And for lunch and dinner, you'll find a similar mixture of classics and creative twists on traditional fare. Try one of the delicious sandwiches or burgers, or go for a plate of something a little different like the gouda mac, or sweet Thai chicken.

Above all else, absolutely do not skip dessert. Tarts and pies, cakes and cupcakes, cookies, and more - there's so much to indulge your sweet tooth here at The Backyard.

Caramel pretzel brownies and tiramisu layer cake are just two examples of the imaginative sweets you'll find here.

Others include tres leches cake, honey pecan cookies, Samoa cake (like the Girl Scout cookie but in cake form), Dr. Pepper cake, and hazelnut mocha torte. It's hard to choose a favorite!

During the spring and summer season when the weather is nice, you can enjoy your meal out on the patio overlooking, well, the backyard.

It's the perfect place for kids to run around and get some energy out, and it makes for an idyllic setting for a memorable meal - and dessert.
