Nantucket Travel Guide Map

You aren't going to be finding a Starbucks on Nantucket, and if you ask for one, god help you, you might get pummeled on the spot.

Luckily there are plenty of good spots on the Island to grab a morning bagel or pastry and a tasty caffeinated beverage. Some of the spots feel glam, some feel local, sine are worth the extra walk, and some are not even worth mentioning.

Three spots to get coffee on Nantucket.

Bluewater Bakery
This place is a bit of a walk, but it is worth it just for the atmosphere. The bagels are so-so, but the folks behind the counter are gossip gurus. They know everyone on the island and if they don't know you, they will by the time you leave.

Bluewater Bakery provides Bagels, Sandwiches, Muffins, Cookies, Box Lunches, Fine Pastry, as well as a full line of custom made pastries and pies for any occasion.

The Bean Nantucket
This place gets super busy most mornings, and serves up a strong cup of coffee. The line can be long, but in line you are likely to find a guy wearing a stripey with pink in it, an old salt from the Island, a girl with pigtails carrying a longboard skateboard--at least that is what we saw. As we have said before, gotta love the contrast.

Island Coffee
On Broad street, near the wharf, while this shop may look touristy, inside you will find one of the best iced mochas you will ever encounter. The guy who runs this place is a local, lives on the Island year round, and is full of great insider info.
