The baking is still very good. The shop is dingy and bare. The exterior is unkempt and uncomfortable. The oatmeal I was just served was gloppy mush with no texture, swimming in browned butter, and served in a bag with a fork and some oyster crackers. I get the impression that they're limping along as a business. If you want some cookies or a coffee cake and you're in the neighborhood, then go for it. If you want to eat, head to the Scottish. read more

The food here is always good! Breakfast is tasty. I love their lentil curry soup especially in the fall. My favorite is the Grey Barn Bratwurst with saurerkraut, but that is to be no more. Hopefully they find a good alternative supplier. Call your order in ahead in season 'cuz it gets crazy busy. read more

Just had gluten free lemon cake! Wow! Just the best little slice of cake ever! Really. Honest. My god I need to turn around and get another slice.... Or a whole cake! (Chimes in the guy I work with that I shared it with) read more

The breakfast sandwich on a cheddar jalapeño biscuit is the best (and cheapest) breakfast to be had on the island, and the scones are delicious too. Everyone who works there is really nice even when they're slammed. The benches outside are lovely in the sunshine. Support indigenous-owned businesses! read more

Stopped in for some quick coffee. It was delicious. They have an assortments of sweeteners and milk types. The people there were very friendly. Walking in is just a single square room with items along the wall to purchase. This is meant to be a quick stop so there is no where to sit down, just a heads up. Would go again :) read more

Delicious from the first bite to the last. Love the Liz Lemon and the caprese the most.

Schizoid...their cookies are back! World class chochips and oat raisins! Five stars!! Breakfast sandwich is another matter. No stars! First of all, it took 18 minutes to get the sandwich out - and there were very few patrons at the time. Limp English muffin, translucently thin slice of tomato, a few shards of fresh spinach, little cheese and overdone egg...all barely warm. Nope! And staff reacted sarcastically when Lorraine commented it took an extraordinary amount of time to deliver said undistinguished break sammich. And watch out for the parking lot - an accident waiting to happen (and I've seen a nasty little fender bender in that very lot - not too long ago). read more

i only tried blueberry muffin but my friend tried scone and we both enjoyed ours. The coffee was tasty and fresh. Our friend enjoyed his sandwich very much. The service was very friendly. read more

The counter staff was so rude and confrontational that it was actually shocking. Add to that, they got my simple order of a toasted bagel for my kiddo WRONG?! How does a bagel shop get a simple bagel order wrong? Plus they only have two kinds of bagel; both of which were bland. I'd drive to NY to get a bagel before I'd go to this place again. Four thumbs down. read more

Great breakfast sandwiches- recommending getting them on croissants. The chai tea latte was ok- it looked like pure white milk, but you could taste the chai. The line was long but moved quickly- you order inside and then wait for the food outside by the pick up window. They don't start serving lunch sandwiches etc until 11 am, so plan ahead if you want to bring them to the beach etc. Many people came in and said they had ordered ahead, which we did not know was an option. This is right next to a cute general store/market so there is a parking lot, but it very busy so may have to circle a few times! read more

Incredible food, friendly staff, summery Vineyard atmosphere. Pricey, but what on MV isn't? Take your food across the street to the outdoor seating by the library. read more

Plan accordingly!!! 7a is a great little sandwich shop, however the wait was crazy!! We ordered 3 sandwiches and waited 40 minutes. Delicious sandwiches but hardly worth the wait. read more

Speaking of nothing to write home about, this nice, local place makes a decent sandwich. No doubt about it... But yeah, what I said earlier. We all really enjoyed their cookies though. Sandwich-wise, totally unmemorable. read more

Wow, I'm at a loss for words right now. I witnessed an innocent customer get harassed by a poor, bad mouth employee. I'm embarrassed that these two women have no respect for customers, I'm even MORE embarrassed that the manager didn't stick up for the customer. DO BETTER!! This customer had to defend herself for being bad mouthed for no reason, the two workers called her a very bad word I will not repeat. The innocent customer had to use foul language due to the scrutiny she faced. PS - It's july not June. AND WHAT BREAKFAST PLACE DOESN'T HAVE BAGELS. read more

7a has been our go to place especially for their fresh baked goods. their sandwiches are pretty awesome too and they have the right location in the center of the lovely historic town of West Tisbury right behind Alley's Store which is another favorite. There is a parking lot right in front shared with Alley's and the farm shop where you can pick up fresh vegetables and fruit. All in one stop. The WT Public Library and the Field Gallery are located across the street so you can visit them too while there. A great Island market - worth the stop and the owner and staff are all very friendly. read more

Everything is always fresh! From the moment you walk in the waft of coffee hits you. Then you need to decide...do I get a handmade sandwich from the board? Something yummy from the fridge? What about freshly scooped Icecream??? The choices are real! Real yummy! Fancy crackers, island coffee and cheese are always available. You can splurge on yourself or share with a friend! read more

There are not a lot of food and shopping choices on this side of the island, but thankfully, this is a terrific one! Great sandwiches, and I mean great. A ton of choices, fresh ingredients and packed with flavor. Add to that speedy service and a mini-market with almost everything one could need on short notice - staples from milk through cheeses, fresh veggies - and in our case, all the ingredients for Pina Coladas including canned pineapple slices, and coconut cream! All served by some friendly folks. Yes it will be crowded but it moves quickly...and beats a long drive to the big town - plus did I mention the great sandwiches? read more

The best gd sandwich you'll ever have. If you do not go to 7A when you are on the island, you are a fool. I've had every sandwich these sick geniuses have ever come up with, and they are all next level. I've seen the God among men Larry David himself come in here multiple times- we all know that man is particular about his sandwich creations. If these folks put stuff between bread good enough for LD, your mortal ass will sure as hell not be disappointed. Pro-tip: Get the cookies handmade with love by Ross the Boss. read more

7a Foods offers counter service for take-out food. However it's not ordinary take-out food. It's slightly upscale take-out food. There are no tables and chairs on the inside. Many customers sit on the two long benches on the outside to sip their coffee or eat their pastry. The menu contains many breakfast choices and lunch choices. During my visit there seemed to be a good mix of both tourists and locals. The center of West Tisbury is generally pretty quiet and 7a is really the only place to grab food. The doors close in the evenings. read more

We were really excited to try 7aFoods when we went this morning since we've read about it in a couple places, but ended up underwhelmed. If you're going in winter, FYI, there's nowhere to sit indoors, which we wish we would have known. We got two coffees that were average and an egg sandwich with red onion, cheese, and spinach. There was too much spinach and too much onion (English muffin was good). One thing that we found tacky as all hell was their "special offer" of an upcharge to get their local egg on the sandwich for an extra $1. Like, just give people your superior than thou egg and increase the price of the sandwich--or don't offer it at all. Baked goods. Chocolate croissant was supermarket style. The blueberry muffin was OK. The espresso-chocolate chip scone was excellent and the best thing we had but did not taste like it had any espresso in it. Service was efficient but not particularly warm. Maybe we'll come again for lunch next time that we're on the Vineyard in the summer, but not this trip. read more

Jalapeño cheddar breakfast biscuits are delicious! They are a must try. Fresh baked cookies are also good

OK Muffins and savory pastry could've been from a super-market. Utilitarian decor - closer to a neighborhood deli than a nice bakery. Nice service, though. read more

Continues to be a standout for the vineyard version of fast food. Fresh food local produce and unique pairings. Never disappointed

If I could give zero stars, I would ! Staff and management are so rude and disrespectful. Don't bother going here! Customer respect is obviously not numberpriority. After being takked rudely to from two Staff members and addressing it, the staff continued to be extremely rude and basically saying no items because itbis June. Not at one moment did we complain of an out of stock item but badgering customers and whispering under their breath until comfronted, that the situation had to be escalated. When addressed to I would assume an owner, he immediately stuck up for his rude Staff. Instead of de-escalating the situation thatcwas uncalled for her agreed with his staff and refused to listen to the customer. Let's remember you may not like tourist but don't be like the mayor in JAWS, US TOURIST HELP SUPPORT YOUR SMALL BUSINESSES AND ECONOMY... Kerp it up and you'll be on wellfare all winter and all tourist will know your business is awful. We walked in excited to try this place and kicked out for defending ourselves. After 30 years on this islsnd I'm NOW NOT SUPRISED I'VE NEVER HEARD OF YOUR WHOLE IN THE WALL. AWESOME customer service said Noone ever! YOU WANT TO BE VERBALLY ABUSED GO TO THIS DUMP! IF you want to be treated like a valued customer go else where. read more

I am so grateful for 7a! Lets dive right in: Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Ever. The biscuit is so buttery and perfect for the egg, homemade sausage, and I think there was some peppery lettuce red onion and provolone going on. I was in HEAVEN. Ate one two days in a row despite my best intentions of consuming fewer carbohydrates. Which brings me to the most delicious cinnamon muffin I've ever had. Heavy, nice sized muffins basically giving me an excuse to eat cake for breakfast, because if it's in a muffin shape it's ok for breakfast, right? I'm not even a must-have-pastry kind of gal but I am certain that these muffins right hurr are the very best baked goods on the island. Yeah I said it (looking at Rickards and Humphrys) - Dan and Noni Sauer have put a big smile on my up island face. read more

Still have memories of this space's longtime incarnation as "Back Alley's" - too bad they couldn't have kept the name in action - but I've grown to appreciate 7a as sort of a late convert over the last couple of years. My go-to item for awhile was their egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, cooked on an exceptionally fresh biscuit - possibly the best on the island! Just this week I branched out into their vegetarian lunch sandwich and was not disappointed, with a focaccia bread base about as fresh as it could be and tasty, generous helpings of the accompanying vegetables. This is not to forget that they offer a hearty selection of pre-packaged and some in-house prepared foods to the right of the waiting area for orders. Everything is in one line, so be prepared to wait and be rewarded if/when you do come in. read more

Good, large sandwiches, but very pricey for a sandwich shop. Some of the best cookies on the island - I recommend the chocolate chip cookie!

Yeah it's a little better than ok. I could walk here last year and did just about every day. Pastries are as big as your face. In the beginning that was exciting but then it faded. You don't really feel healthy doing that every day. You can find nice salads to go as well as vegetarian lunch items. The dry food area was sparse this year compared to last. Not sure if they are restocking or phasing out. Your only real stop on this stretch of road heading up island until you get to Chilmark's little store. There's generally a line. read more

Terrible service and the kids working here are extremely rude. They need an extra experienced manager to teach them some basic customer service. read more

7a Foods makes the most amazing jalapeño cheddar biscuits! I was so excited to score the last 3 one morning. The biscuits are so soft with a perfect salty and hint of spice balance. If only I could have some sent to me for my Sunday morning breakfast... For my late day snack, I went back and enjoyed some more goodies! I had molasses ginger cookies, which tastes DELICIOUS! Then I coupled it with 7a Foods salted caramel ice cream, yum! I love the fact that their food is made fresh daily, which gives it that homemade from grandma taste, sprinkled with a touch of love. RECOMMENDATION: Come early (when they open) to ensure you get what you want for breakfast. They ran out of jalapeño biscuits by 8:30a! read more

Been coming to 7A for 15+ plus years. Great food, but the service is god awful. Had to wait over 45 minutes for one sandwich and a scoop of chili. So sad its really gone down hill service wise. read more

Bad location, dirty, mid food. Go somewhere else dunks is better. Anyways the cookies is the only good part.

Great sandwiches, great brunch spot. The pastrami/turkey sandwich is great. Excellent tuna melts. Hard to go wrong.

My three star rating has less to do with the food than the general experience of going to 7A. When it first opened, pre-pandemic, it was a hot spot - awesome sandwiches, you could get other picnic fixings in the building, good local stuff like mermaid farm yogurt parfait, etc. During Covid they did what everyone else did to survive - they minimized products inside the shop and focused on take out food. It just doesn't seem to have recovered itself from covid and become a welcoming shop again, and simultaneously it has become soooo popular that the wait times have become frustratingly long and lots of cranky people are hovering by the food window making the previously sweet outdoor waiting area kind of stressful. I know part of the issue is how hard it is to find employees right now. It's a bummer. Best to avoid in August. Also - they took our favorite sandwich off the menu! The Asparagus Blueberry Melt... read more

This is the only food option close to the bus stop in West Tisbury. There are no tables but there's a long bench outside where you can seat. They offer a good selection of sandwiches and other breakfast items. I got the pulled pork sandwich which is smoked pork butt with coleslaw and mayo on a brioche bun ($9.95+tax). The pork was tender but really bland, they have extra mayo in sachet that you can get so I just added more of that. I did like the bun though. read more

Still as good as ever. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are delicious. Staff is consistently great and the owners are warm and welcoming.

The Liz Lemon sandwich is the BEST. The sandwiches are probably the best on the island. Thats just my opinion though.

There is a reason this place has won best sandwich and best lunch on Martha's Vineyard for several years running! The tuna melt is absolutely on point -- the banana peppers are a perfect tangy and spicy touch, and the rye bread is fantastic. The vegetarian chili is savory, hearty, and delicious. They have a small selection of picnic items and drinks. There is a free public restroom across the street at the public library. read more
