A Few Of Our Favorite Things
other than the beach and the brewery
Breakfast & Coffee
Island Kitchen – Some of the best breakfast on the island! Indulge in Hobbs’s favorite, the huevos rancheros!
Blacked-Eye Susan’s – Great little breakfast spot right in downtown. Be sure to get pancakes for the table. It is a very popular spot, so we recommend arriving early to beat the rush.
Brant Point Grill - Located at The White Elephant hotel, Brant Point Grill overlooks the Nantucket Harbor and is known for their signature lobster bloody mary!
Born and Bread – Delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastries for a grab and go breakfast option.
Handlebar - Our favorite coffee & matcha spot, the iced mint matcha is Lucy’s favorite!
Roastd - Delicious coffee/matcha and to-go breakfast sandwiches with 3 locations on island! Lucy’s go to is the vanilla bean collagen latte with their pistachio milk.
Nantucket Meat & Fish – Mid-island gourmet market with coffees and bagels.
Claudettes - A cute sandwich shop in Sconset that offers both breakfast and lunch options!
Pip and Anchor - A coffee shop and local market perfect for our health-food lovers. Reset after one too many drinks at Cisco with their cold pressed juices the morning after!
Lunch
Provisions – Great place to pick up breakfast or lunch sandwiches before the ferry. Get the turkey terrific or BLT!
Fresh – Small sandwich shop located inside a liquor store. Grab a sandwich and drinks before heading to the beach!
Cru – Located right on the harbor with amazing views of the water. Fuel up for the weekend with a crucumber cocktail, a delicious lobster roll and save room for the pistachio soft serve. Also a great spot for dinner!
Millie’s Nantucket – Restaurant where Lucy used to work, located in Madaket, the westernmost end of the island. The 40th pole quesadilla is a must!
167 Raw – Great food truck for a quick grab-and-go lunch. Just a short bike ride from town and walking distance to Cisco Brewers! Our favorite lobster roll on island!
