Lemon Press - The go to for vibrant smoothies, nourishing bowls, and organic eats that feel like they just were harvested in the kitchen. It’s the perfect place to start your day or linger in for coffee and good company.

Blacked-Eye Susan’s - Where mornings taste like home. Their blueberry pancakes are a table must have, along with all of their unique spins on breakfast classics. This iconic spot is a must but be there early to avoid the rush!

Born and Bread - A cozy little bakery full of golden loaves, sweet pastries and a Ryan verified best breakfast sandwich on the island.

Handlebar Coffee - A great stop for a morning coffee and light bite before you go and explore all Nantucket has to offer.

Island Kitchen - Located mid-island, this is Ryan and Kaeleen’s go to spot. From the breakfast burrito to the acai bowls, no choice is a bad one at this Nantucket staple.

Lunch

Something Natural - Known for huge sized sandwiches served on fresh Portuguese bread! Highly recommend ordering a half as the sammies are BIG. A short stroll from town with picnic tables in a park-like setting, causal meets island flare.

Fresh - Kaeleen’s favorite hole-in-the-wall tucked into a liquor shop right in town. The Chipwich and acai bowls are her go-to’s and would always recommend ordering ahead.

45 Surfside - If you were going to venture out of town, this is the spot to hit. The buffalo chicken wrap, Arnold palmer, and home-made chips are a Nantucket must!
