Amazing sandwiches, focaccia bread, and salads here. Right off the Cape Cod bike path so you can stop if you're feeling peckish. The bread is on the softer, chewier side, perfect for loading up on the fillings. For a lighter lunch, I went with the beet and burrata salad with a side of the chicken cutlet and the combo of the beets with the cheese and the candied hazelnuts was amazing. I'll be thinking of this meal for a while. Also tried bites of my friends' Knotty Girl and Diamond Girl sandwiches - you honestly can't go wrong with whatever you decide on. Everything tasted so fresh and home-made. They also have lots of cheeses, including mozzarella, stracciatella, and a buttery burrata that came with the salad. Unfortunately, I can't eat too much of it without getting BAD stomach problems later on but everyone else enjoyed it. Huge parking lot, with some picnic tables and seats in the shade. We waited a bit for the food to come out but it was well worth it. read more

Sandwiches were good and Fresh! Unique place with quality ingredients. Loved the Diamond girl on Focaccia. Service felt slow and then rushed when up to order. Probably because (to me and in a good way) it felt like a small personal business. Area was pretty but I got no cell phone service and they didn't offer WiFi. If possible try to pre-order your sandwich or bring a book while you wait. read more

25 minute wait for a fresh made sandwich. it IS expensive so keep that in mind. We also added a 5$ cutlet so that is probably why. The focaccia is to DIE for and they are very generous with meats. I will say the meatball sandwich was a BIT of a let down only because we expected more filling for such a high price (such as the other one). Its not the best italian sandwich in MA but probably the best on the cape and a great top (and worth a try) in brewster if you're craving a hefty handheld read more

A unique sandwich spot in the heart of the Cape and right off the bike trail. The focaccia is to die for and you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches offered. They also have specials, local cheeses and homemade desserts. At almost 19$ for a sandwich, it's a bit pricy, but you can easily split it between 2 people. There is no indoor seating but there are tables outside. Looking forward to going back and trying another sandwich. read more

One of the better breakfast sandwiches that I've had in recent memory. The fresh mozzarella and ciabatta were particularly incredible. We will definitely be back to try their lunch options, as well as their variety of fresh pasta and cheese options! read more

Best sandwich I've had since visiting Italy! Fresh, delicious and an inviting staff as well!!

I had super high hopes for this place and was so excited to try it! I came in this morning around 10 am and beat the line which was nice. Waited about 15-20 minutes, which they kindly warned me about, for three sandwiches. To my own fault - I did not check the correct sandwiches were in the bag, only that there were three. I got home and realized I was given a wrong sandwich order. So had to go back to communicate that since their land line was going straight to VM. I went to the front and told them the situation. They took my whole order back, took the wrong sandwich back and gave me the correct order - the Mortadella Fella. Unfortunately my new sandwich wasn't even wrapped or taped shut, seems to have been just thrown in the bag. I have to say for a $16 sandwich the meat portion is lacking. Also in the thirty minutes from ordering and back from my two trips due to incorrect order, the Renegade is completely saturated and soggy. Overall I am bummed out on my first experience. But the long line out the door upon my return for right sandwich tells a different story so maybe an off day. read more

Wow. Just a tremendous sandwich. Every ingredient is fresh and made in house. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Ordered a Chicken Caesar sandwich and got this pesto tomato sandwich for $19 instead. When I called they said it was a kitchen mixup, offered a $2 refund for sandwich I couldn't eat. How about refunding the whole thing or offering a sandwich when I have the time to drive back there? Very poor service delivery read more

Uhm... best sandwich I've probably ever had. Legit just get any of them on the focaccia. While you are there also just get a loaf of the focaccia because it's that good. I now don't have to go to Italy to get those vital sandwiches because I've had sandwiches at ACK Gioia. Cute shop, well run and just great people. read more

OMG. the food is so good! Small shop near the bike train in Brewster. All sandwiches are made to order. Very busy shop even in the off season. All the bread and cheese is handmade on premises. High end Italian cold cuts. Most days there are specials and some days delicious soup. Try the mortadella fella sandwich! The staff is so helpful and the place is very, very clean. Small menu but each sandwich is really special and so fresh! The salads are also great. Enjoy! A Plus! read more

Fabulous lunch stop with even more! The sandwiches and salads were delicious with such a fun menu BUT the bread really makes the difference. Made daily (started the day before in small batches) is soft, flavorful and the texture compliments the sandwiches perfectly! Our sandwich makers were delightful! If you're worried about the wait, call ahead and your order will be ready with a smile. read more

Great service and amazing sandwiches!!! The Diamond Girl is my go to sandwich!! The breach is always fresh!!!

Best. Sandwiches. Ever. Can't beat them, literally everything on the menu 10/10. My favorite is the Jamie with stracciatella. Focaccia is amazing. Best bet is to order ahead so you don't have to wait. Staff super friendly and helpful!! read more

First time in Cape Cod from NJ. Happened to be staying in Brewster and wanted a sandwich. A quick internet search showed this place with positive reviews. I am not exaggerating when I say, that was the best sandwich I have ever had in my life (The Jamie.) I ordered a second one for the following day before I even finished my first one. The fresh bread, cheese, and meats were all top tier quality and the workers were all super friendly. Can't recommend this place enough. My only complaint is that it's not located where I live in NJ. If we're ever back on the Cape, this will be our first stop! read more

The food always tastes good and they have great homemade cheeses and bread but the "saucy meatball sandwich" I got today had virtually no sauce on it...and for an $18+ sandwich that was disappointing. Probably a solid 4/5 stars most times but if you advertise something as saucy please follow through on that. read more

This place is an absolute must-stop on any visit to Brewster. I came by this morning to pick up a few sandwiches and a salad for our trip home and every single morsel was gorgeous and delicious. The beet salad was full of toasted hazelnuts, and fresh mixed greens. The dressing was beautiful. The cheese in the salad was transcendent. The sandwiches disappeared in minutes. Beautiful please and everything is made with attention and dedication to the craft read more

I didn't think I would leave another review on Yelp after they took away my hard earned elite status but yet here I am because ACK needs to be acknowledged for by far the best chicken cutlet sandwich I have ever sunk my teeth into. The sandwich is called the Jamie and Jamie is amazing I am truly in love. The hot chicken cutlet with the prosciutto, home made pesto and cheese is simply the best combination of ingredients ever. Even cold this sandwich is to write home about. The flavors the melted cheese on ciabatta bread mmmmmmm delightful. The counter help very helpful in helping me pick this masterpiece, service with a big smile. Nice little gem tucked away in Brewster ma. big beautiful deck to eat out on. And did I mention the cannoli the ricotta was flavored to perfection sprinkled with powder sugar. People seem to think they are pricey all I can say it was worth every penny of it plus the tip. I also go the most amazing rosemary bread to go which again blew me away with flavor. I am so happy I live so close to this establishment because I will treat myself to the most amazing sandwiches as often as possible. Enjoy the pics and most of all give this place a shot you will not regret it. read more

Probably the best sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. Not exaggerating. I'm 50. I'm kind of a fat body. The bread and cheese? Unreal dogg. Get it. Get one now. read more

The best sandwiches on the cape! I got the Mortadella with fig jam and their homemade cheese and arugula on homemade ciabatta. My husband got the eggplant and pesto on homemade focaccia. Worth every penny. Took home their focaccia and homemade burrata for dinner! Right on the rail trail...the perfect break on our ride. read more

As a sandwich lover, I would recommend ack gioia to everyone within a 1 hour drive. We tried the mortadella fella and a prosciutto with mozz cheese. The mortadella was my favorite and it featured a yummy pistachio pesto. Would 100% go back for another one. The seating is very cute and I love the family feel. read more

Today I purchased a sandwich called Three Graces for $16.50. So very disappointed the sandwich was saturated with balsamic vinegar. The bread broke apart and was hard to taste anything but the vinegar. I called the shop and explained the situation and they made no effort to make up for it. We will not be returning. Improvement would be to lightly drizzle sandwich with good olive oil and sweet balsamic glaze, not vinegar! And when a customer calls to nicely explain and offer advice, staff should at least offer to make things right especially when sandwich is $16.50. read more

Great Sandwiches and service!! A small place where everything is homemade including the mozzarella cheese

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly and fast service. Smells so good inside like fresh bread baking-they unfortunately were sold out of bread but we got a sandwich called three graces -Prosciutto, Salami, mortadella, greens, tomato, pickled red onion, Gioia mozzarella, evoo+balsamic vin on foccaia. It was beyond delish! Would recommend. The fresh bread and mozzarella make it! read more

We went for the first time and the food was delicious! We got 4 sandwiches, the knotty girl, two Jaime's and the chicken parm and all were delicious! The service was great and. The little sitting area outside was perfect to enjoy the day. read more

What a great place! First of all the owner and daughter were delightful to talk to and very welcoming. The cheeses they have are truly Artisanal and they're extremely high quality but well priced. We had a Focaccia sandwich with mortadella and straciatella which was very tasty. We can't wait to return and try new things! Do not miss an opportunity to visit the store. read more

Really great mother/daughter team. Great cheeses and sandwiches. Not inexpensive, but not outrageous either, and it is, after all, the cape.

What a wonderful addition to Brewster! Their homemade burrata was simply delightful on my caprese salad paired with CBI farm heirloom tomatoes and the additional cheese selections were so yummy - especially the cheddar. I can't wait to go back! read more

I am in love with this shop. The fresh cheeses are divine. There's a wonderfully curated selection of other products such as sauces, cured meats and the like. The staff is incredibly nice and knowledgeable. They've added some bread which is to die for, and an expanded menu of breakfast and lunch offerings. I try to go there at least once a week during the summer. read more
