I was in the area covering a driving route, (originally from central Mass) and thought I’d try out one of the most highly rated cafes in the area. And I gotta say, it DEFINITELY didn’t disappoint!

First of all, the sign outside reading “The Breadbasket at Nantasket” is a masterful rhyme. I didn’t even know one could rhyme something with Nantasket, but these GENIUSES had done it! I walked in and dug the vibe of the place immediately; it’s small, charming and comfortable and played great music. The food menu was pretty extensive and everything sounded so good, but I just came for a coffee and a pastry that I could enjoy on the cold, windy, yet, sunny beach right across the street (it was the first day of winter after all 🤷🏻‍♂️🥶)

The man behind the counter (Matt, ((which says a lot that I remembered his name because I NEVER remember names))) was chatting up one of the regulars as I waited in line. When it came my time to order Matt, greeted me and treated me as if I were an old friend; asking me what my name was, where I was from, what I did for work, joking around etc. He then gave his pastry recommendations as I seemed to be STUNNED by the selection of delectables, which wasn’t that large of a selection, but every single thing looked amazing 🤤.

He insisted I go with the banana bread muffin, but the chocolate bread pudding was just CALLING my name so I had to go with it, and I must say, I was glad I did! 😋 I also got a small hot French Vanilla coffee, which was average but very cheap. They also have just about every type of sweeting option you could think of at the milk station; from regular milk to almond milk and from sugar to stevia or Splenda or agave or whatever you little sweet (or not so sweet) tooth desired. I quite liked the brown sugar cubes that you could just drop in and stir, it make me feel like I took a time machine… who uses sugar cubes anymore? 🤔

Anyway, enough blabbering, here’s what you all came to see; the pictures! It was a frigid trip to the beach but I had the sun on my face and a hot coffee in hand (and a chocolate pastry in my mouth) so everything was alright. I do wish I could’ve tried the banana bread muffin that my new best friend Matt was raving about, but I can tell you this: I’ll DEFINITELY be back to try it! 😁🙏
