Are you planning a trip to Cape Cod soon or maybe here right now? This post has ALL the best coffee shops on Cape Cod that you need to check out!
If you didn’t already know, I am a Cape Cod native, I was born and raised here on Cape Cod. I like to think this makes me a Cape Cod Expert, but there are so many places that I have not been to yet. Since I have lived on Cape Cod my entire life, I feel that I am an expert on suggesting places of where to go. Especially when it comes to coffee or ice cream for that matter.
If you’re visiting Cape Cod for the first time you’ll notice lots of Dunkin Donuts. There are at least 30 of them spread throughout the entire Cape. Pretty much every town has at least one Dunkin in it. If you’re a Starbucks lover don’t worry, we have some too but not nearly as much as we have Dunkins. However, this is not what you came here for! Neither Dunkin nor Starbucks compares to the amazing local coffee shops on the Cape. So I encourage you to skip these chain establishments and visit these best local coffee shops.
To make things easier, I have broken down the post by town. There are a total of 15 towns, so you’ll be sure to find a good coffee shop near where you are staying. Note: I will not be including Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket, which are little islands that you would have to get a ferry to get to.
This post is all about the best coffee shops on Cape Cod.

Barnstable: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod
1. Nirvana Coffee Company | Barnstable
Nirvana Coffee Company is located in Barnstable Village and is about a 20-minute walk to Millway beach. I have been to Nirvana many times and they have yet to disappoint. Some of the things I love about Nirvana: are the cookies & cream lattes and all the different flavor syrups they offer. Ultimately, this is one of the best coffee shops on Cape Cod.
Note: There are lots of parking across the street behind the courthouse. The parking next to Nirvana is for Barnstable Market Customers (Barnstable Market takes their parking very seriously, so be careful.).

2. Daily Brew Coffee House | Cataumet
The Daily Brew is a coffee shop located in Cataumet, in Bourne. This shop has wonderful reviews with laid-back vibes. In addition to serving coffee, they offer smoothies, breakfast, and lunch options as well. This is a shop I haven’t been to yet but would love to go to soon.
Brewster: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod
3. Eat Cake 4 Breakfast | Brewster
Eat Cake 4 Breakfast, located in Brewster, is not only a great place to coffee, but it is an artisan bakery showcasing French pastries, cakes, and baked goods. I don’t know about you, but I love French pastries. I mean who doesn’t like croissants?
This place is high on my bucket list. I can’t believe I haven’t been here yet! It should be noted that they often have long lines and sell out quickly, so make this an early morning trip. Also, this shop is seasonal, so be sure to check their website or social media for their latest hours.

Dennis: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod
5. Three Fins Coffee | Dennis
Three Fins Coffee is located in West Dennis near some great beaches. This is one of my favorite spots to get coffee on the Cape. Their coffee is specialty coffee which means that their beans are top graded. Further, they focus on fair trade small farms and small-lot coffees. This is something I love. Fairtrade is so important. In summary, Three Fins Coffee is a great place to grab a coffee, relax, get some work done, play some games, and do anything else you like to do.

They have great coffee and an amazing breakfast. If you have time to stop and eat breakfast here I highly recommend eating here! The eggs benedicts are to die for!
Falmouth: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod

Coffee Obsession is located in Falmouth and Woods Hole. The one located in Woods Hole has a kitchen while the Falmouth location is a traditional coffee shop. Additionally, they, of course, have some delicious pastries and bagels. Coffee Obsession offers an old coffeehouse-style atmosphere. That is to say, Coffee Obsession is another spot on my bucket list that I can’t wait to try.
Harwich: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod

Cape Roots Market located in Harwich is a unique spot to get some coffee. Not only can you sit down and enjoy your cup of coffee, but you can shop around the market too.

Mashpee: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod
9. Cape Cod Coffee Cafe | Mashpee
Cape Cod Coffee Cafe is located in the Mashpee commons. After walking around the Mashpee Commons, this cafe is a great spot to relax. They offer a wide coffee menu as well as breakfast and lunch. If you’re just looking for coffee you can order that on the left side of the Cafe. I should also mention that there is a full bar here too!
Orleans: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod
10. Hot Chocolate Sparrow | Orleans
So, Hot Chocolate Sparrow is probably one my all-time favorite coffee shops on the Cape. Not only do they serve delicious coffees, but they also have ice cream, desserts such as cake slices, breakfast sandwiches, lunch, candy, fudge, and more. Some might argue that this is the one of the best coffee shops on Cape Cod. I would agree.
Here is what I recommend: If you like iced coffee, you can’t go wrong with their hazelnut iced coffee- it is so good. Also, they have amazing lattes, the caramel mocha turtle is my favorite. I can’t forget to mention their frozen hot chocolate that is to die for! In short, the Hot Chocolate Sparrow has a lot to offer and never disappoints.
Provincetown: Best Coffee Shops on Cape Cod
11. Kohi Coffee Company | Provincetown
Kohi Coffee Company is a specialty coffee company established originally on the tip of Cape Cod, in Provincetown. Since starting out in Provincetown, Kohi Coffee Company has expanded into other locations such as Boston. I love that this shop has a view of the ocean, so pretty. Although I have never been here, the reviews look excellent. If you do go here, I love to hear what you thought.

I have yet to visit this shop, but it looks incredible, especially in the warmer months with the open garage door. I have nothing but good things about this shop, so I highly recommend you check it out if you’re on the Cape. Ultimately, this place is pretty famous around here!

BRB, adding Chequesset Chocolate in Truro to my list of places to go. What is better than chocolate and coffee? I read many reviews of people raving about their mocha latte which I can’t wait to try.
