13 Best Cafes near Gloucester

“Fantastic food and service. I would highly recommend.“

“Top notch Cafe I meet the guys there every weekday morning for great coffee and good conversation!“

“Do you enjoy buttery pastry and jam? Would you like a sky-high cheddar biscuit, moist on the inside with a sweet little crunch on the outside? Could you use a crumble? Or a sea-salt-sprinkled chocolate chip cookie? We tasted love, butter, and fresh local ingredients in every bite of every treat from Source. If you have ever heard of Gloucester, you are close enough to plan a trip just for the baked goods. We did. We bought a box of goodies before hitting the beach, and we left the beach in time to buy more before heading home. So jealous of the Gloucester locals! I am still dreaming of the hand-pies.“

“Seriously, if you want a local flare, down home breakfast this is the place to go! Best coffee, service was OUTSTANDING! And food was out of this world!“

“Best coffee and staff in town! The staff is always extremely friendly, and everything always comes out just the way you'd like it!“

“One of my favorite places, where I start my day. Best coffee on earth and cinnamons buns that are addicting 🤣 great food, coffee, and people.“

“First chance I've had to do breakfast at Zeke's, and I was not disappointed. Great stick to the ribs food in a friendly if somewhat zany atmosphere. I'll be back on my next trip to Gloucester.“

“I highly recommend this amazing place to anyone who loves homemade delicious food and amazing down to earth people! My family and I found this place last year on our way home from our vacation in Rockport and we have not stopped thinking about it since! We finally were able to come back this year and it is just as good (if not better) then I remembered it being. The homemade blueberry muffins are a must but you really can’t go wrong with anything on there menu! The outdoor sitting has the perfect amount of shade and we love watching all the cars go by while eating our food. I can’t wait for our next vacation to Rockport so we can go here again!“

“What a gem! Spectacular regular and gluten free items. We had regular and GF breakfast, lunch and bakery items during our recent visit. Can't wait to visit again! Highest recommendation!“

“Local cafe with solid food and laid-back vibes.Visited for a quick breakfast this past weekend. Being our first time in this town, it seemed like the only breakfast option apart from Dunkin. The menu offered a wide range of sandwiches and salads, and we chose the salmon bagel sandwich and the SEC croissant sandwich. Despite the cafe being bustling, we received our order within 10 minutes and enjoyed our meal at one of the patio tables outside.The bagel sandwich and scone were fairly basic, but the sausage egg sandwich and peanut butter smoothie were enjoyable. While the food and drink menu seemed a bit pricey for the location, we definitely didn't regret choosing this spot over the other alternative.

“Great Baristas! Beautiful views to enjoy your favorite coffee drinks 😊“

“Breakfast was good, all around, but bring a restaurant with no facilities with “Covid” as an excuse is lame. We’re in the endemic stage Massachusetts, get with it!“

“Delicious breakfast and friendly staff!“
