After 98 years and countless donuts, snowflake rolls and scrapple pies, Ocean City's Wards Pastry is closing. Hundreds of loyal customers are sad to see it go.
Wards joins Voltaco’s Italian Foods on West Avenue, in business for 68 years, and the O.C. Surf Cafe, in business for ten, in announcing closings in Ocean City post-Labor Day, after a summer that saw restaurants coping with staffing shortages and high costs. Prior to the summer,“It’s sad to se it go, said Lauren Sacco, 18, who has been working at Wards since she was 14.
“Our family has been going to your bakery for 3 generations! You are always a huge part of our annual vacation. It will not be the same without your bakery. Thank you for 98 years of amazing pastries!” wrote one woman. “I’ve had donuts at Wards with all of my grand babies,” wrote another. “My sister and I enjoyed early morning bike rides for coffee and donuts. we jokingly called it our fitness rides.”
