For Breakfast & Coffee
- AMIE Bakery - Osterville
This is a super cute spot to grab coffee and pastries in Osterville.
- Cape Cod Coffee - Mashpee
Great spot to grab your morning coffee & paired with a breakfast sandwich from Rory’s Market, you can’t go wrong.
- Rory’s Market - Mashpee
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 - Harwich
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 - West Dennis
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 - Osterville
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 - East Falmouth
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
Come for the clam fritters and the pretty views—you won’t be disappointed!
- The Skipper - Yarmouth
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 - Dennis
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 - 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 - Dennis Port
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 - Chatham
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 - Sandwich
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 - 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 - Harwich
We went to twenty-eight Atlantic 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 - Harwich
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 - Mashpee
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!
- Kandy Korner - Hyannis
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 - Centerville
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.
- Chatham Candy Manor - Chatham
Come here for the fudge and truffles!
- Marion’s Pie Shop - Chatham
For the cutest mini pies you can pick up for your drive home.
