What to Eat on Nantucket

Updated June 27, 2020.

It’s What I Ate Wednesday! This week, we’re eating our way through beautiful Nantucket. Come along, my faithful readers! Let’s begin with the most important part of the day:

Coffee

I drank a lot of coffee on Nantucket! There are no chain restaurants “On Island.” That’s right, no Starbucks, no Dunkin’ Donuts, just fabulous mom and pop shops–my favorite! And since I only had about 48 hours to see as much of Nantucket as possible, I needed a lot of coffee. Check it out:

Breakfast and Lunch

So, Nantucketers apparently love breakfast! Several restaurants offer breakfast until 1:00pm, even on weekdays!

Supper (aka “Suppah”)

Nantucket is not a budget destination, as you may already know. I’ve eaten more sushi in my day than your average American, but my first night in Nantucket, I paid more for one smaller than average size rainbow roll than I have ever paid before. Not to say it wasn’t good, just saying it was not the best in terms of value! But the second night’s dinner was more substantial and very Nor’easterly.

Dessert

There’s really no point in having supper on vacation if you’re not also going to have dessert, right? That’s my philosophy!
