Stayed next door at the Wayside Inn in June and this seemed to be our only option for coffee before 8 am. They open at 630. My husband ran next door to grab us coffee on Saturday morning since the proprieter has an unwelcoming sign on the front door, "Please no baby carriages." The coffee was watered down and weak. I couldn't even get down a cup. Hubby also ordered a breakfast sandwich and Chatham bun, which he said was OK (he saw a van delivering the baked goods that morning, so their pastries are NOT homemade). We didn't return on Sunday and instead walked the extra half mile to Cumberland Farms for better tasting, cheaper coffee, where we weren't discouraged from bringing our baby carriage (and there was ample space for it). Note to the owner-Your sign isn't going to deter the rude people who will attempt to bring their baby carriage in a small cafe. It DOES, however, insult people like us, who wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to cram our baby carriage into your small shop/cafe. Guess this is an OK spot for the locals, but travelers with kids should AVOID. read more

Chatham Cookware Cafe - Parents beware-Not baby friendly! - Bakeries Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

We used to come here every summer for lunch. I am disappointed and we will not be returning as it is no longer a family friendly spot with the quality I had come to expect. The sign out front reads "No Carriages Inside" - no big deal but odd we had brought strollers in the past. I go to bring my daughter to the restroom (one of the reasons it was a go-to was easy restroom access) it's been sealed off and closed - I'm told without apology or explanation "go use a public rest room". There is no kids menu listed but they used to have it? We order 4 sandwiches (one of which was a kids pb&j) bag of chips and two drinks the total was $53 not insane but surprisingly higher than I had remembered. I asked for two plastic cups and straws in order to split my kid's drink and was given a dirty look and then told they were straw free, I am all about moral high ground but this ain't it - buy the paper straws. My veggie wrap only filled 1/4 of the wrap and had maybe a teaspoon of hummus completely flavorless - for $10 I expect more. My son's pb&j had large holes in the bread which for a little kid is just the excuse they need not to eat it. Expensive, unwelcoming, not family friendly, no facilities for patrons, rude service - go elsewhere! read more

Stopped in for a quick pick-me-up while shopping along Main St. Quite the variety of coffee options on coffee bar. I combined a couple - Delicious! I also totally treated myself to a homemade coconut macaroon. It was by far the largest and tastiest I've ever experienced...and I love coconut! Definitely a place to take in while visiting Chatham! read more

Breakfast sandwiches were delicious. However the bagels were hard as a rock and other pastries were stale. Disappointing.

Get their breakfast sandwich on a Portuguese muffin and you won't be disappointed! Also love their chicken salad wrap

Baby K. and I went for lunch. All good. Solid comfort food with the Mac and Cheese and the turkey sandwich called the Gale Force: Turkey, cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato. It's a nice place for coffee and pastries too. Never lets you down. Sitting on the front porch and drinking coffee should be included on the list of Chatham must-do's. read more

Had lunch from here twice this summer. One time the order was wrong which was very disappointing. The other time was fine. Chicken salad is delicious. Other sandwiches were good too. Cookies are great! Staff is showing the stress of the summer--not friendly or obliging. But that's probably due in part to the difficulty presented by covid summer. We will return. read more

I went to this place because I was hungry but left unpleased and disgusted. Very rude customer service girl got my muffin and then ignored me to go talk to friends behind the counter. I get back to my work place and see multiple different hairs in my muffin so I go back and tell them and the same girl who didn't help me the first time just says oh and asks if I want another one no I'll give your money back no apology. Definitely do not recommend and definitely will not be going back. read more

Always good coffee and ok breakfast sandwiches. The muffins, scones and other breakfast bakery fare is their best Some concern over cleanliness and attn to detail in Covid time. No unused pens to sign credit card slips; girl at register seemed oblivious to this even when reminded. Also trash over flowering to the floor where you add milk and sugar; this was at 8am! No one seemed to notice though they worked just feet away. Disappointing for such a popular place. read more

Was charged $20 for a gluten free sandwich!!!! What the heck??? My friend got a sandwich and a root beer for $13.97. They rang up my order next. Just a sandwich. A sandwich - ya know 2 pieces of bread and deli meat. No drink, nothing, just a sandwich. Cashier said $20. Excuse me? 20.00. Yes, there is an upcharge for gluten free. A $10 up charge for gluten free (don't know what the upcharge was, just assumption because f friends order of $13.97) I eat here about 2x ayear when shopping in Chatham and never been charged prices like that. I'm out. read more

Cute place, for sure. Great outdoor seating great for family or couple, very quaint. My family has been making this a for sure stop in Chatham every year. Food is always spot on, great sandwiches fresh. Things seem to of changed a bit when I came in today. The very friendly nature from years ago, has been lifted a bit? I decided to go for a kale salad which was pre made in the fridge. Nothing special, a handful of kale a few cranberries. And a side of dressing. For eight dollars. I then asked the girls behind the counter if I could please get a scoop of chicken salad on top of the salad, and she said we won't do that anymore. Won't do that anymore? Just put a scoop of chicken salad which I would happily of paid for on top of my salad? She said you have to buy them separate. So guess what, I had to buy a seven dollar small container of chicken salad and an eight dollar kale salad, making my salad and my lunch today $17? Are you kidding? When I asked for dressing, she handed me a packet of dressing you normally get at McDonalds.... Girls behind the counter rude, still good food, decided to stay here and eat my lunch because my family did. But for the first time in years, I can honestly say I won't be back, thumbs down on your attitude. If I wanted an $18 salad I would have gone to Chatham Bars Inn ..... read more

Let me explain my love affair with the salty llama sandwich. This sandwich is amazing. It's considered a favorite for a reason! For the couple o years I've been coming to chatham, I've always stopped a got a salty llama sandwich (sometimes twice in a day). The chicken salad is quite possibly the BEST chicken salad I've gotten in my life time. It's ALWAYS good no matter what. With this salad obsession and leaving the MA area and moving to Philly, my dad has shipped over tubs of this salad knowing how much I love it. ITS THAT GOOD. Seriously- just try it. I'm obsessed and will continuously try to remake it despite never coming close to its perfection. read more

Wanted a quick healthy and affordable lunch on a Saturday afternoon shopping in Chatham and this fit the bill nicely. Sandwiches are fresh and they have interesting combinations. The Spinnaker and the No Wake were great choices paired with Cape Cod chips. There was good seating at the end of summer but i could see this being very crowded in peak season. Staff was friendly and service was fairly quick. read more

Chatham Cookware Cafe - Spinnaker - turkey, cheddar, white bean hummus, cucumber, avocado & sprouts - Bakeries Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

Nestled on quaint downtown main street in Chatham, This cafe and coffee shop is a staple! I come here everyday on my vacation for breakfast. There are always 5 options for drip coffee and excellent service. This is the perfect spot to get your sandwich, cape cod chips and beverage before heading to the beach. I highly recommend the gingersnap cookie and The Dinghy, a yummy chicken salad sandwich. And, they just started selling homemade pizzas. All their pastries are freshly made at the Cookware. I will always be a loyal while visiting the cape! read more

This place is the bomb dot com...enough said. Any sandwich you get is gunna be good, and they have nice drink selection as well. The cookies and pastry stuff is also real good. In Chatham, this place is what is up. read more

Great frozen hot chocolate amazing breakfast sandwiches on Portuguese rolls average yogurt parfait read more

Great sandwiches and friendly atmosphere. Very excited to bring some gluten-free baked goods back to my Celiac son.

By now this place should have figured out how to limit the number of people in the store so that there can be proper social distancing. Also the counter clerks were handing food and drink cups to customers while also handling their money and credit cards. There was no sanitization or glove wearing to protect the customers. I won't go back. Not safe. read more

Came here twice on a recent trip to Chatam. Once for breakfast and again for lunch. We were there on busy 4th of July weekend but the staff handled the crowd efficiently and the sandwiches were worth the wait. I had a ham egg and cheese on a Portugal roll for breakfast. For lunch I got a sandwich (can't remember which one). There was a group of us and we were all happy with our sandwiches! The coffee was good too. There is a limited amount of seating in the store and a bench on the porch. read more

Whether you need a caffeine pick me up or grabbing a sandwiches for the beach-this little cafe is perfect and set right in the heart of down town Chatham. The chicken salad is unreal and they have daily soups too! There are a few tables in front and a bright room in the back that also has a porch attached and even MORE tables outside. I suggest calling ahead in the Summer as it gets packed. Definitely a must visit! read more

Best breakfast sandwich's in Chatham and service is amazing. Our goto spot for over 10 years.

A staple for Chatham breakfast, the sweet Portuguese muffins that the breakfast sandwiches are made of, are perfect. Today I tried the new frozen lemonade. Can't even give it one star. This new drink is made as follows: a cup filled with ice and water thrown in a blender and a packet of powder is added and all is blended. It tastes like cold sugar water with some chipped ice on top, as it separates in the cup. Everything else is fantastic. read more

Never a drive by. Great coffee & pastry for breakfast with a fine lunch menu. Spotlessly clean in a great little town just beware of summer crowds....Can be brutal read more

Got a m&m cookie and soda. They heated up the cookie for 15 seconds, which nicely melted it. Perfect! Nice store w all sorts of options read more

The Bathing Beauty is phenomenal! Really enjoyed the Gale Force too. They aren't the fastest, but it's always busy so...wish parking was easier, though that hasn't anything to do with the restaurant itself:) read more

Always a good bet when in need of a quick tasty lunch. Been here several times with family and none of us have ever had a bad meal here. The soups are delicious, sandwiches are yummy. Only drawback is the lack of seating when the place is packed with tourists. I haven't ordered coffee here (some reviewers seem to not like it) but they have a nice offering of drinks besides just typical soda. One of the things I like about this place is that they also sell an assortment of Stonewall Kitchen gourmet food items, something I can't find where I live. So it's good to know I can stock up on SK while filling up on yummy food. Prices are typical for Chatham, but Chatham Cookware can always be counted on for a good meal. read more

For a sandwich and for a good locale, you can't beat this place. It isn't cheap and the service can be spotty but for downtown Chatham it is okay. Having said that, I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. You can do better outside of town or nearby. Main St. is a bit of craps shoot in the summer but better in the off season. I thought their veggie sandwich was better than the one with meat and cheese frankly. The menu is a bit odd and tries to be more trendy than it is capable of so only order something that you know tastes good. Don't experiment here, you may be unhappy. In the AM they have great coffee and friendly service. read more

Girls at the counter are always very friendly! I work close by so I usually stop in for breakfast and lunch. The sunrise on the Portuguese English muffin is great. I typically get the spinnaker sandwich. Chicken salad is a little bland but they have great salads to chose from as well. The gluten free blueberry muffins and brownies are delish. Wish they would switch up the sandwich menu but other than that nice little shop! read more

This is a cute place. I found the coffee not good and very week as I am used to starbucks. I tried a croissant which although not baked on premises was very good. My son ordered a breakfast sandwich that was not cooked there but microwaved. Not my thing as I prefer my eggs cooked in a pan or grill with cheese melted on them. If i wanted that I would have gone to cumberland farms! So- i would go back for the baked goods but thats it. read more

Stopped in here for lunch with my mom while spending an afternoon in Chatham. I ordered the Spinnaker sandwich and she had tuna salad. Was unimpressed with the sandwiches, ingredients were fresh but they were very blah, I could have made either of them at home. Coffee was good. Service was indifferent. Nice outdoor seating area in the back. read more

I used to love going here last summer for to-go salads but won't be returning because this isn't the first time I've had terrible service. Asked for a frozen cappuccino, girl stares at me blankly and is like "we don't have that" in an annoyed tone. If they aren't serving yet, she could've said "sorry we don't have that yet." So I ask if I could just have an iced coffee, to which she says they have cold brews, and I say sure. She Charged me $5, hands me a cup with barely any ice in it and tells me to fill the cup myself with regular hot coffee options, cream and sugar. That is not a cold brew. Would've gotten my money back but was in a rush. Not impressed with some of the younger girls working there. read more

a great breakfast and lunch spot in downtown chatham! their lobster roll was pretty awesome for a random downtown deli. they also have an awesome selection of breakfast pastries and muffins. would recommend if you're in the area! read more

Sandwiches are eh, definitely overpriced for the quality. Not many places to sit especially in the summer. Saw a girl handling the muffins/bread they use for the breakfast sandwiches WITHOUT gloves... Who i am guessing is the manager making sandwiches without gloves, when I asked she said i'm only toasting and putting cheese on the eggs.. still that is what we are eating PUT ON SOME FRICKIN GLOVES. Makes you wonder what they do in the kitchen.. Kids upfront are nice, but the people in the back are RUDE. Bakery items seemed like they are from the days before. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

My visit was very mixed with food from horrible to very good. Some items were a zero and others a 4 start rating so I decided to be nice and give them a 3 overall. There were three of us eating so had a few different items trying two different sandwiches and two different baked goods between us. First the sandwiches: two of us had the special of the day pannini sandwich which was a chicken with a garlic herb cheese that was Excellent, tender juicy chicken, nice flavor with the garlic herd and pressed just right. The second sandwich was not so good, it was a pesto, tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto on a ciabatta roll - the bread was at least a day old being firm and stale - very unpleasant while the rest of the ingredients were good. Now for the desert - they had a large selection in the case and they all looked good. We tried to almond croissant and the breakfast muffin. The croissant was BAD - at least a day old, no almond filling, very cake like and the favor was bitter and horrible - we threw it out after two bites - that was how bad it was. Next we had the breakfast muffin and it was very good, fresh, not too sweet, good flavor. They do have outdoor seating which was nice to have on main street. read more

Roast beef sandwich was light on the meat and the herbed cheese spread. Almond croissant was good but each of the help yourself coffees were lukewarm warm. Greek salad was good but came with canned olives instead of calamata. read more

I received a daily deal coupon for chatham cookware as a gift. When I went to use it, they informed me that I needed to have the coupon printed out. I told them that I was only in Chatham for the day, had no access to a printer, and that they allowed my brother to use his coupon on his mobile phone instead of printed the day before. The staff was extremely rude to me and refused to honor the coupon. There are plenty of other places to eat on Main Street and I certainly won't be back. read more

I went there for the first time today with my wife and my father-in-law. We stopped to get sandwiches to go. We got the following sandwiches: the Rusty Anchor, the Gale Force, and the No Wake. We loved them! It is a cute cafe with great food and we recommend that you stop by. It is in the heart of Chatham so you will hit traffic during the summer but we went during off season, so we had no trouble getting there and no trouble finding parking. If you are ever in the area you should really stop by, you won't regret it! read more
