Downyflake is a beloved, no-frills diner on Nantucket, known for its homestyle breakfast and comfort food. Their fresh, homemade donuts are a local favorite, and the hearty breakfast options like pancakes, omelets, and sandwiches are consistently satisfying. The relaxed, old-school vibe and friendly staff make it feel like a home away from home. It's a great spot for a quick, affordable bite, especially for those seeking a classic breakfast or brunch experience on the island. Expect a bit of a wait during busy hours, but the food and cozy atmosphere are worth it.

I am so happy this classic spot remains, I truly look forward to it every summer. The sugar donut is so perfect and the eggs are always fresh and fluffy. The food is just comfort all around but with fresh seeming ingredients and wonderful service.

Tuna melt was delicious but dripping liquid from tuna...not drained enough and/or too much mayonnaise. Otherwise it was great.
