24 Best Cafes near Dennis

“I love this place great atmosphere makes me feel like I am in Cambgride back in the day when there where cozy cafes. The people are super nice. The service is great. It is fun to see live music there and we love the Pairing menue.“

“Was drawn in by the breakfast menu but got there moments late, so "just went with the lunch menu", and got the "Depth Charge" sandwich. Wow!! I was hungry and hit the mark, dead center!! Delicious! My hunger was completely destroyed, suffice to say.“

“For an unparalleled dining experience on Cape Cod, look no further than this distinguished restaurant, where the elegant dining room overlooks Nantucket Sound, creating a sensation akin to dining on a luxury cruise ship amidst the majestic ocean swells of Dennis. The exceptional cuisine is further enhanced by the Omakase, a carefully selected array of five seasonal small plates prepared by the chef, utilizing only the freshest, locally sourced, and organic ingredients. #summah2024 #oceanhouseresturant #omakase see photo captions for cuisine details.“

“Farm stand scramble, the frenchy, turkey avô BLT, passionate palmer and a crookie were all huge hits. Definitely will be back.“

“Everything was just great and couldn’t get enough of the croissants, cappuccino, sandwiches, baguettes, chocolate chip cookies, apple turnover and wish I tried all the stuff that this coffee place has. The only problem with this coffee place is that I don’t live close to it.“

“My family and I were in Cape Cod for vacation and stopped in to this wonderful bakery. The staff made you feel like family and were so welcoming and generous. Being of Sicilian descent myself I have never had such delicious treats and pizza. My 7 year old loved her shark cookie that was offered to her and we were amazed at how delicious the black and white cookies and the cannoli were the best I've ever had. We will definitely be making this a frequent stop for future vacations. Thank you for your wonderful baked goods and hospitality. Top notch all the way. Definitely highly recommended all around.“

“Who doesn't love a homemade poptart! The food, atmosphere, & service here is outstanding. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed.“

“The staff was wonderful! The coffee and food were good too.“

“Hands down, AMAZING EATS! I can't wait to bring EVERYONE I know!!! BRAVO!!! Was a total pleasure meeting Mike!!! Made my whole day!“

“Excellent coffee and great pours !“

“Best breakfast sandwich I have ever had on Cape! Good coffee and nice staff!“

“For anyone that is looking for a really good turkey wrap with a smoothie, this is the place to go. Im usually hesitant to have any smoothie with veggies in it due to taste. But the green smoothie was delicious. The turkey BLT was also very tasty. You have to seat yourself inside or outside. The food comes to you but you have no server. Great service thought. Keep in mind when visiting that the place next door is under construction. Parking can be a little difficult as the area is popular, but not impossible.“

“Their food is amazing! Great service and quaint ambience as well!!“

“Employees always have a smile on their face and are so kind! The coffee is amazing and the sandwiches are great before the beach!“

“Parking: We went in my mom's car n she had a sticker on it she lives down the cape n is a senior so I'm really not sure i try to go down as much as i can but had my own problems as i was in the hospital for 2 months this yr 2022 i passed away for 6 min then went into a coma for 3 wks lost my organs ended up on dialisis all caused from pnemino had a liter of fluid behind my heart“

“A wonderful selection of breakfast items, including freshly made sandwiches on toast, bagel, or large English muffins. The eggs were cooked just right, and I had to try it with linguica (spicy sausage) and it was great. Other family member had the lox and cream cheese bagel, which was also delicious. They also offer a very convenient express area with pre-made sandwiches you can grab and go. We sat on the their deck overlooking the harbor - great spot!“

“Cute Cafe, friendly staff, food was delish! I got the sausage patties, eggs, honefries and toast, my husband got the 2,2,2, equally as yummy 😋 ❤ Our first visit and would definitely come back and definitely recommend!“

“Great food and great service. Definitely on our list to return“

“One of the employees, I think he is the manager, has the same voice of the Radio host, Jim on Boston Public Radio at the GBH. Great service and lots of food. I'm literally stuffed after ordering my weekly Grilled Chicken Avocado BLT on Saturdays. I would highly recommend this place.“

“As a fellow restaurant owner...I gotta say...place is so good! Fantastic steak bomb wrap! Sandwiches are huge...absolutely impressed! Place is super clean and nicely laid out! Cheers to the owner and the cooks! You guys ever come to Manchester NH...got some pizza with your name on it!“

“THINGS TO DO: We obviously had a rental car (from Hyannis Airport), and it was massively helpful/useful as we used it constantly. For us, the Villages was a unique, affordable (most of the top properties are at least $1K/night) "home base" for us in the Brewster/Hyannis/Barnstable/Provincetown area. We had a 3-night stay and deliberately didn't do a ton at Villages or Mansion (though there is certainly a plethora of options). We had dinner one night at Linx (which was okay - not bad, but not super memorable) and then another night at the Ocean Bar to watch the sunset (this is a MUST do as it is the best spot at either Villages or Mansion to see the sunset) -- food was decent here.

At Britterige Village (part of the Villages), we were within easy walking distance of several excellent cafes, such as Snowy Owl Cafe, Kitchen Cafe, and JT's Seafood. We ate at all of these (especially for either breakfast or coffee at the Snowy Owl Cafe and Kitchen Cafe), and it was a nice change to simply walk back/forth.

We also did a day trip to Provincetown (highly, highly recommended) where we had both breakfast and lunch. Another day we visited local friends in Barnstable for an evening BBQ.

Pro dessert tip: Check out "Eat Cake 4 Breakfast," which is a famous bakery nearby for delicious treats!

We deliberately didn't use the pools or beach, etc., but appreciated that we were able to access the Mansion private beach, despite staying at the Villages during the Memorial Day-Labor Day timeframe where generally you can't do this if you're at the Villages.

STAFF: This is the "secret sauce" of any solid property, and Ocean Edge is no different. The GM Robert Newman was very gracious, and special thanks to Marc Bauman (resort manager) who kept an eye on us and was super helpful with our small requests. Also thank you to Michael Medeiros for helping us arrange a private pickleball lesson.

Everyone else we encountered during our stay would have a smile, and deliberately did what was possible to go the extra mile. For example, I recall when we were trying to get food/drinks ordered at the busy Ocean Bar, and a kind male server/bartender spotted us and ran over to take our order.

The housekeeping also seemed efficient and timely.

VILLAGES V. MANSION: We haven't ever stayed at the Mansion so can't comment on the difference, but think of both of them as massive college campuses that are about 4-5 blocks (~0.4-0.5 miles) apart from each other. There is a constant shuttle loop from Villages.

The Mansion is definitely where there is "more action" -- a gigantic lawn where tons of folks are playing games, eating food, chilling on chairs, etc., and far more eateries/restaurants, a private beach, etc.

But, like the Villages -- it is also super spread out and you need to plan to do a ton of walking.

ROOM/APT: My wife and I really loved the "apartment" style hotel-room with a spacious living room and kitchen. We knew the setup in advance, so we deliberately went to a Trader Joe's near the Hyannis airport and got some small groceries like yogurt, fruit, water, etc.

We correctly predicted that water wouldn't be provided in the room (other than by tap) so we were glad to get water bottles.

TV/WIFI: A nice touch that Netflix is loaded onto the TV as we signed into our account and enjoyed a nightly Netflix watching to help us wind down. A tiny point, but I would have liked the bedroom TV to be as large as the living room TV, but not a big deal.

AC: Many, many reviews here comment about the "loud" AC units. This is true. However, we are from New York City and sleep with an AC unit on and the occasional sirens blaring (though we are on a very high floor). You do need to adjust the AC units“

“Cafe Au Lait was delicious as was the breakfast sandwich with egg, arugula, goat cheese and fig jam but what REALLY was the best surprise was the amazing caramel apple cookie, and (per husband)gluten free snickerdoodle cookie and gluten free pumpkin muffin which I had to enjoy half of each also. What a great gem I haven’t eaten baked goods this terrific in a long time. Friendly staff and a nice relaxing atmosphere!“

“After the movies last night, we were starving and needed a place that served food around 9 p.m., so thankfully, we found this place. The downside was that they only served appetizers after 9 pm. That was fine because at least they had food. Most bars stop serving all food around then. We got clam chowder, which was a bit salty, but it was okay. We also got three types of wings. We got Buffalo, BBQ, and a Garlic Parmesean dry rub on the tenders/boneless wings. Our waitress was very nice, but it seemed like she kept forgetting about us after giving us our food, so another guy had to check on us and grab our plates. My boyfriend also got sick from his chicken tenders, so yikes! But it was a very nice place overall.“

“Website says that staff are required to wear masks, no one was wearing. It took about 7 min just to start getting my order. Got my order and as soon as I arrived at my work, I noticed that they forgot to give me some itens. Call them back and ask for a refund since I cant get off of work for another 10 hours now. The excuse was that "they are too busy on Saturdays " even tho on the website shows that "not too busy at this time"! Anyways, quality on customer service is definitely worsening“
