The people who work here are very nice! We ordered food to go while waiting for our ferry back to Hyannis. It was pretty busy and our food wasn't ready by the time we had to board the ferry. We boarded the ferry last, sad without our food, but then a woman who works there made sure our order was rushed and actually RAN our food out to us and gave it to a deck hand to give to us on the ferry (as our ferry was basically pulling out of port). She went above and beyond and it really made our morning! 5 stars for great service - thank you!!

The service was excellent and friendly. Food was delicious and coffee was awesome. Definitely recommend once you get off the HyLine. Once on Martha's, make it a point to head there
