Not that this place needs more hype but I couldn't help myself. I went back twice in one trip because the breakfast sandwiches were that good. There was a line but it moved pretty quickly and efficiently. Staff was friendly. I also loved the ambiance inside. Was very light & airy but cozy. The coffee was great too! I had an iced latte with sugar free vanilla. Now onto the sandwiches. The first day, I kept it basic with a sausage, egg & cheese. The sourdough bread was incredible and made the sandwich. On day 2 I decided to get the bb sandy which had bacon, egg, cheese, tomato, & sriracha aioli. Okay, this one was incredible!!! Not that the SEC wasn't good, it just wasn't as special. I didn't get a picture of the bb sandy but just trust me. It was perfect. Last note on the sandwiches: they are HUGE. The first day I ate the whole thing and was full for a very long time. The second day I ate half for breakfast & the second half for lunch. It was perfectly proportioned for two meals for me. read more

This spot is super popular and super BUSY! Excellent location, in the heart of Nantucket surrounded by numerous local shops and boutiques. It was just a few doors from my hotel, and I came here a lot! Absolutely love the vibes!! Casual, yet nice. It was my go-to to chill in the mornings and early afternoons. Great place to grab pastries, sandwiches, etc. Only downside is that there aren't a lot of tables, and the place easily fills up, but they do have takeout. Their sandwiches are especially good because of their sourdough bread! I also like their cowboy cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies (even tho I'm not typically a fan of oatmeal raisin), and pumpkin muffins. I wouldn't recommend their croissants (lacked flakiness) tho. read more

Definitely came here for the sourdough bread and it did not disappoint. The bread was the main character. I wasn't a fan of the egg, seemed microwaved. I'd go back in a heart beat for the bread. Coffee was decent and my boyfriend loved the big cookie he got. Service was very well done, it was packed but they had such a quick system going we didn't want long. read more

We stopped by after walking past many times before, and I'm glad to say that we did! It's a very Nancy Meyers-esque cafe nestled in the heart of downtown Nantucket, turning out homemade pastries, cakes, coffees, teas and more. It was a welcome respite after a long afternoon shopping and strolling around. We visited later on the afternoon, which is a good move since it seems like this spot can get pretty hectic during peak hours. Since we had already eaten lunch, we didn't get any snacks (although the Cowboy Cookie looked SO good) and everything was clean and well organized in a glass case. I also snagged a menu for next time- the paninis and coldcut deli sandwiches looked yummy, too (the ABC Panini with apple slices sounded scrummy). Service was curt but efficient, I think again, we visited around the end of the day, so that may have had something to do with it. Nonetheless, my cold brew was delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed his black tea. We sat at a super cute table and people watched everyone going by the picture window - this is a great spot for that! I will definitely be back for lunch and that cookie! read more

We waited in line for 30 minutes on a Thursday morning and it was well worth the wait! We shared an avocado, egg, & cheese sandwich and blueberry muffin for breakfast -- both were EXCELLENT! The staff were doing a great job of keeping the line moving while still being welcoming and polite. I also enjoyed the best strawberry matcha I've ever had. FYI: very few small indoor tables, so plan accordingly (we unfortunately had all of our luggage with us before heading to our ferry back to Hyannis). read more

Born & Bread is a fabulous bread and breakfast shop to visit on the island. We went twice during our stay in Nantucket. Both times were busy and it took 20-25 minutes between the line and receiving our food. The have a lot of pastries, daily baked breads, sandwiches and coffee. Both times I ordered an ice latte with light vanilla and it's really tasty - a huge cup filled with a ton of ice (the way I like it), espresso and not too much milk. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Egg, cheese sandwiches with a super chewy sourdough. We ended up buying 2 sourdough loaves to bring to friends. Best decision! read more

Recommending because we ate there three mornings in a row. While it's true a line forms before 8am, know that it moves quickly. They have a system that works! Wonderful breakfast sandwich all served in sourdough. You can split so you can pick up a yummy muffin. Our favorite sandwich was the BB Sandy... not spicey but terrific favor! They have tables inside and a very small outdoor space. I suggest ordering however and taking to the harbor or your hotel garden. read more

A bit chaotic, ordering counter is unintuitive, and there's limited seating. The prices are inflated, as expected, and don't fully meet the value. $38 for a sandwich, two coffees, and a cupcake seems a bit much. I got the cream cheese veggie, which was grilled nicely on sourdough bread but made up of mostly onions. The iced latte didn't have any sugar. The cupcake was puny. You're better off getting items from the grocery store, but if you want to feel a little fancy and claustrophobic, stop by here! It does close at 3 PM. read more

Amazing coffee and pastries! I recommend their lemon blueberry thyme scone and their pistachio cream croissant. They also have cruffin but I wasn't that impressed with just tastes like croissant in a muffin tin I thought it was an actual hybrid. Still, great place!! read more

Went to Born and Bread for some dessert for after dinner. Really enjoyed the diverse assortment of small treats. Lovely presentation and also delicious. I found the carrot cake to be flavorful, moist and light. My family enjoyed sharing the rest of the treats: brownie, cupcakes and pecan pie. Overall the service was nice and they had good customer service. Very pretty interior and a nice place for lunch, dessert or a snack. read more

This has to be hands down the best sandwich shop I've been to in the USA. The Bianco was the most delicious sandwich I've ever tasted! Service was great. The crowd management was perfection. Everyone was in and out and the dining area didn't become overwhelming. If you visit Nantucket, you have to eat here. read more

The food and staff were amazing! Coffee is delicious and of course their bread is out of this world. Definitely worth the wait!

A MUST VISIT in Nantucket Island! Great bread baker at this place. You don't have to order/eat a whole entire loaf to taste it. You can order just Toast and Butter form the counter. Bread is truly highlighted. There is a line to order. Sometimes, it goes out the door. The line runs along shelves featuring market items. The AVOCADO TOAST is good. I don't' know how to get my big one to move away from the AVOCADO and try something else. Like I don't know, PB&J for one. ICED LATTE is good. HOT CHOCOLATE is great! HOT LATTE is better than the ICED ONE. I don't know why. Maybe because the weather is perfect for it. ICED CHAI LATTE is also very good. The NUTELLA CRUFFIN made us return. OK to be fair, the plain piece of toast also made us want to reutrn. The workers are friendly, fast and hard working. There are a lot of tables and chairs to enjoy our breakfast. Vibe is uniquely Nantucket. read more

I had seen this place featured for their great breakfast sandwiches on Tik Tok and so I thought I would try it. It was a rainy Saturday in Late September. I ordered the egg sandwich with cheese and sausage on Sourdough - grilled. The lady at the counter said I got the last piece of sausage for the day - and ya know what - that sandwich could really have used 2 pieces of sausage. I also ordered a large ice tea - it was nearly $20 with tip. It was good, but I live in SF - the land of artisan sourdough bakeries. This sandwich was very good - but nothing spectacular. I will say it was well-grilled, the cheese was melted and the egg was good. read more

While in Nantucket, I stumbled upon this adorable cafe and had the hardest time selecting just one pastry to try from the case! I decided on the Lemon Blueberry Thyme Scone that was so delicious; sweet with the right amount of savory from the thyme. I only wish I bought a loaf of their bread, it looked and smelled so good! read more

We came in at 115 pm, they were very busy but seemed understaffed, it took 20 min for my sandwich to be ready. But the wait was worth it. I ordered the honey ham (ham, apple, goat cheese, arugula, honey on sourdough) pressed as a panini. It was exactly what I needed! The ratios of fillings was perfect, the sourdough was so so good, very crispy but not sharp enough to cut up my mouth. I couldn't really taste or find the honey though. Overall definitely worth the money, but be warned they did run out of bread for sandwiches at 2 today! read more

This was a spur of the moment breakfast place we stepped in and am so glad we did!! We shared the breakfast egg, bacon and cheese sandwich (we added siracha aioli to it) and it was amazing. The homemade bread is a major star of the show here. The sandwich came out hot and so fresh. Plenty of cheese which we loved, and the bacon was also perfectly cooked. We also got a vanilla iced latte which was pretty good. Our favorite though were our chocolate chip muffin and cookie. Both of these had plentiful chocolate chips and were baked to perfection. Sometimes it's hard to find an above average breakfast spot but I would definitely recommend stopping here. There was a bit of a line but it went pretty fast! I'll be dreaming of this meal for the next few days. read more

These sandwiches are amazing. Bread is what really makes or breaks a sandwich, and their fresh baked sourdough truly makes these sandwiches delicious. I ordered the tuna melt with cheddar instead of swiss and it was incredible - the cheese was perfectly melted, the tuna wasn't fishy or overly covered in mayo, and the tomato was perfectly ripe. Compared to a lot of other lunch spots in town, the sandwiches are also very reasonably priced. Food aside, the only downsides are 1) no bathrooms (but there are bathrooms around the corner at the visitor's center) and 2) only one table on their little patio so not much outdoor seating read more

I get they're crowded and working fast... but I ordered an extremely overpriced peanut butter and jelly sandwich.... They gave me a butter and jelly sandwich? Bread is great but they clearly just put orders in however they feel like it. Limited seating, waiting 20+ minutes for food. I'd recommend going elsewhere read more

This was our go to in the mornings to pick up breakfast and dine back at the loft we rented. There is fine in as well available. Super busy place. The first day we ordered chai tea latte, coffee and two egg and cheese sandwiches. Oh! For dessert lol we ordered the scones, cruffin, and cookies. When we got back to the loft, we found that they gave us two Cuban sandwiches with ham. I don't eat ham, so that was a let down. The dessert was good though. The total was $80 for those items. The town isn't cheap when it comes to food, so be prepared. Seemed like everywhere we went it was $80. The following day we ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on sour dough. The sandwich is big so one is sufficient for two people. It was good. The place is located around the corner from the main street area. Chai tea was super sweet. Coffee was good. Enjoy! read more

I would have given this place a 6/5 if not for the attitude of the blond woman with bangs and glasses behind the counter. I asked for a sandwich that is typically a cold cut (honey ham) to be panini pressed because honestly, I'm really surprised it's not on their panini menu. I think the teller forgot the modifier because it came out as a cold cut. When I went to hand it back, the lady was not apologetic and all and looked disappprovingly at her colleague, which turned me off completely. She said, "I think I'll have to remake it," with disdain. I will say, when the sandwich did come out, it was phenomenal - way beyond what I was expecting. Probably in the top five sandwiches I've ever had, and I'm a bit of an admitted foodie. The sourdough is unbelievably fresh and perfect - the right level of chewiness, which is impressive. I just think it's important to remember one's demeanor in hospitality is paramount. read more

Wonderful cafe just off the Main Street. Loved the Rachel sandwich ( at least a dozen others and salads to choose from!) and brown butter chocolate chip cookie. Pair with a black ice tea and this is the place to people watch. Enjoy! read more

What a gem! We just wanted something quick and light. They have fresh sandwiches and coffee options that we were looking for. They even have desserts. There's some seating area and outdoor area as well. The staff is really nice and they were super busy! I ordered the bianco sandwhich and wow! I didn't know these combination could be so good! Sweet and a little bit of savory. It's craveable. The vanilla iced latte with oat milk was also a great surprise. Such a good taste! I highly recommend this spot! read more

The service was beyond slow. I waited for 30 minutes to receive my order. It was only a bacon egg and cheese.

This cute shop was downtown and not hard to get to even if you have to park further down. The sausage on my breakfast sandwich was so flavorful. I couldn't get over how delicious their bread was.

Be warned that sandwiches will take at least 30-40 minutes to come out. Ordered 4 sandwiches at 11:10 AM and had to leave to make a ferry at 11:55 and the sandwiches weren't even halfway done. The owner/manager came out right at the end and said he'd refund me which is nice but truly have never seen people move slower. Was really excited to try the sandwiches but definitely don't order more than 1 or 2 if you have anything less than an hour to wait for them. read more

Amazing breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and good coffee. Absolutely stellar and will be back!

Born & Bread makes one of the most delicious egg and cheese sandwiches I've ever had. Tangy sourdough with fresh eggs and sharp cheddar. The service was fast and quick. Don't let the line dissuade you! Beautifully decorated with comfy benches and amazing atmosphere. 10/10! read more

The best sandwiches and bread. Highly recommend if you are on Nantucket. Don't skip out on the roast beef sandwich

Bread was tasty as was chocolate chip cookie. Very pricey for tasteless sandwiches. The roast beef was very tough and stringy. It was packed like a brick with zero flavor. Am shocked that the reviews are so strong...as we will not be returning. read more

Delicious panini for lunch and baked goods. Beware of the line for breakfast. Get there at 8 am or expect to wait.

If their sourdough was any lighter, it would be air! I loved my honey ham sandwich. A great lunch spot. I went early and it wasn't crowded for lunch, but it was still off season. Helpful staff and sweet dining area, though I wish they had a bathroom so I could wash my hands while traveling. Very nice design and flower boxes, which seem to be a Nantucket specialty! Lots of small groups there chatting and enjoying. I sat at the bigger, shared table and found some nice folks there! read more

They have amazing pastries and sandwiches. There is always a line but it is well worth the wait as everything's delicious.

Excellent pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Scones (which I typically find difficult to be show stoppers) were A+. Both sweet and savory cronuts were fantastic. Came three times during a five-day stay on the Island and would have come all five had we discovered B&B on day one! read more
