Handlebar Café — Restaurant in Nantucket

This place is amazing. My dog liked the water bowl outside so much that we went inside where he ordered an orange macchiato muscatine arriba derchi sapphire foam spit dark roast Grande plus. He said it was the BEST he'd ever had. And then he peed on the water post. I had the most flavorful blueberry-azciatti muffin that was made with fresh azciatti grown in the "secret garden" out in back of the cafe. Herbivore. (Shhhh... herbivore). Then I peed in the secret garden. Hmmmm...fresh azciatti, secret garden, pee...hmmmmm. Thinking I'll just go with a bagel next time. Too bad Jason and Courteny have to land their airplane sooooo far away, but it was just costing them way too much money to have a pilot flying over the store til closing time. They should have bought a helicopter. And the toilets ARE NOT self flushing. I had to hire someone full-time to come flush for me. But this place is so good, it's worth the added expense! Well, I think you'll like it as much as I( and my 31 other personalities)did! Gotta go, my space ship is double-parked outside and they don't validate here. No valet parking either. (which didn't bother me at all because no one there knew how to fly my spaceship...

I've had a lot of coffee on the island and Handlebar is one of the best! The atmosphere of the shop is inviting and well designed. It's easy to feel like you are having coffee at home here.

Also, the staff are engaand kind. Very easy to talk to and fast! I order and I get my coffee in less than 5 minutes. It's amazing. I'm sure that time will slow down in the summer when more people arrive on the island.

I love sitting outside, they have a great outdoor seating area and it is well worth investing in the time to drink your coffee there.

Lastly, if you have a little time before getting on HyLine the shop is a quick walk away. Easy to get to, and again - fast. It took me 7 minutes to walk to the shop, get m coffee, and walk back.

I highly recommend Handlebar, check out the photos to get a sense...

Was on a run in the intense summer heat, stopped by to ask for a cup of TAP water. Was visibly on the verge of heatstroke and dehydrated when I asked. Denied. Shutdown. The child working behind the counter said that it would be 50 cents. I didn’t have my wallet, but was otherwise outraged at the fact I would be charged for a cup of tap water. This isn’t right. I asked for the manager, at this point about to pass heat exhaustion, and was still told that water would be 50 cents. By far the most inhumane establishment. Coffee was...
