Cape Cod Eats & Drinks
Before heading out on a trip, we think it’s essential to plan out as many meals as possible, so you don’t miss any must-try spots. We’ve rounded up our favorite restaurants, bakeries and more on Cape Cod, so you don’t have to. This way, you’ll know everywhere to hit next time you’re planning a weekend trip to The Cape. Check out our recent visits here and here OR watch our top 10 bites on the Cape this summer!
For Breakfast & Coffee
AMIE Bakery
This is a super cute spot to grab coffee and pastries in Osterville.
Great spot to grab your morning coffee & paired with a breakfast sandwich from Rory’s Market, you can’t go wrong.
Rory’s Market
We got the egg & arugula breakfast sandwich from Rory’s Market with two eggs, cheddar cheese, arugula and chipotle spread on grilled ciabatta and it was absolutely the move. Such a yummy and filling breakfast.
The Sill
You can never have too many coffee recs and The Sill is yet another great spot to grab your morning cup.
For Lunch & Snacks
Kream ‘N Kone
Looking for some epic fried seafood? Look no further than Kream ‘n Kone. We were obsessed with the fried seafood plate piled high with fried shrimp, fried whole clams, french fries & onion rings. And did we mention it was less than $30?!
Fancy’s Market
The sandwiches from Fancy’s Market are perfect to pack and bring for a beach day. Our favorites were the Nauset with chicken salad and the Roadrunner.
Moonakis Cafe
There’s nothing like a great diner and this one absolutely hits the spot. From sandwiches to what we think are the best blueberry pancakes on The Cape, this is definitely a spot to try.
Chatham Pier Fish Market
Chatham Pier Fish Market - Chatham
Come for the clam fritters and the pretty views—you won’t be disappointed!
The Skipper
The Fried Clam Chowder at The Skipper is unlike anything we’ve ever eaten before. It’s clam overload in the best way possible. They have so much amazing seafood, you really can’t go wrong.
Fin
Currently our top bite on Cape Cod comes from Fin, the lobster donuts are both sweet and savory. If you’re going to go to just one place and one item on this list, we recommend getting your hands on these donuts. You won’t be disappointed.
Outer Bar and Grille
Outer Bar and Grille - Harwich
This waterfront spot has some fun takes on classic dishes. Try the insane loaded hot dog topped with mac and cheese, bacon and blue cheese.
For Drinks
The Ocean House
Looking for a pretty spot to grab drinks ahead of dinner? The Ocean House has great cocktails and we also got the coconut shrimp appetizer. The indoor bar can feel a bit stuffy, so we recommend sitting out at the beach bar instead for a high-energy, fun spot to sip your drinks.
Chatham Bars Inn
Yet another beautiful setting to grab a cocktail ahead of dinner. What’s not to love about a bar at a 5-star hotel overlooking the water?
For Dinner
Pilot House
The view of Cape Cod canal from this restaurant is absolutely stunning and they also have live music. For food, we got the wonton tuna nachos (our favorite bite of the meal!), nori sushi tacos, and the baked stuffed shrimp. Seafood all the way here!
The Rooftop at Pelham House Resort
The Rooftop at Pelham House Resort - Dennis Port
If you only have one night in Cape Cod, we definitely recommend coming here. The Rooftop at Pelham House Resort was one of the top meals of our visit. We were obsessed with the truffle fries with truffle ketchup, asparagus fries (a MUST-order!), strip loin and fried haddock.
Twenty-Eight Atlantic
Twenty-Eight Atlantic - Harwich
We went to twenty-eight Atlatic and did the pre-fix menu. It’s $125 dollars per person for three courses. The venison carpaccio was one of our top bites on Cape Cod—and definitely worth the trip. We also loved the lobster carbonara and paired our meal with a killer martini.
Thoreau’s
Thoreau’s is such a cozy bar serving great sushi. Here we got some nigiri and the A5 Wagyu Sushi roll, which was shrimp tempura topped with A5 wagyu, caviar and kewpie mayo. Such an extravagant dish, but we loved it!!
For Desserts & Treats
Duke’s Donut Worx
Every good weekend trip needs a donut shop and we were loving these from Duke’s in Mashpee.
1856 Country Store - Centerville
Looking for sweets? This is definitely one great spot to go!
And of course you can never have too many candy spots, so we also gave the Kandy Korner a try and were big fans.
Smith Family Popcorn - Hyannis
No trip to The Cape is complete without a stop at Smith Family Popcorn to try all the fun flavors of popcorn.
Four Seas
This homemade ice cream shop has been open since 1934 and we can see why! Such a great spot to grab a cone on Cape Cod.
Come here for the fudge and truffles!
Marion’s Pie Shop
For the cutest mini pies you can pick up for your drive home.
