Breadbasket Bakery — Restaurant in Hull

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...

I've been to Breadbasket numerous times, mostly pre-COVID, but once yesterday (Nov/2021) as well. Each time I've gone, the food has been fantastic, freshly made. I need to remember to return here when I need a place to work. It's only open until early afternoon, though.

Yesterday I had the chorizo, egg, cheese, & caramelized onions on brioche. The sandwich was excellent, but I'd skip the onions next time (probably personal preference as I love chorizo and love onions, but apparently not together).

I've purchased breads in the past and they are stellar.

I don't drink coffee or much tea, so I had hot chocolate, which was fine. I'd be here way more often if they had Dandyblend and/or mushroom infusion.

The space is nice, not huge, but ample enough if you have an hour or two of work to do or conversation to have. The Atlantic is in view. Easy for a local to take for granted, but don't miss it.

Street parking is available, but metered during all of Breadbasket's business hours. But there is more parking out back, particularly for your longer stays.

Look forward to...

Undoubtedly the best breakfast place if you are in a staycation at Nantasket beach resort!

The cashier brook is really kind and sweet. There is no option to pay tip via card so be generous to bring some cash. An old gentleman prepares the food and another lady garnish and serve it to customers. I was surprised to find some tasty bakery item apart from usual lunch and brunch sandwich option.

I’m pretty sure this is probably one of the favorite breakfast place for the locals. You can see people living in beautiful houses in front of the sea.

We had avocado toast and Greek toast. They had special house blend coffee and I tried sweet pudding from the bakery section.

I found almost everyone from Nantasket resort had their breakfast at this place.

The food portion was more than enough and they had seating space tables and a couch. Please clean up after you are done. Don’t leave anything for these three hard working human.

Enjoy the food and vibe! Let those three...
