Island Coffee Roasters

Wonderful gourmet coffees, teas and some darn great pastry too!

It's a quaint little shop tucked back after you get off the ferry in Nantucket. There are a few tables inside. You order at the front and then someone will bring it to your table. They use the fresh ingredients, freshly made bread and it shows. I ordered the Thanksgiving sandwich which came with turkey and cranberry sauce and stuffing on bread. Sooo good and the portion sizes are big too.

Turkey Terrific, essentially Thanksgiving between two pieces of delicious bread.

Our server even gave us a complementary bottle of their house made pucker up juice. She shared why she loved it and poured us each a glass. This was such a nice touch. The juice was delicious and you could taste the fresh beet juice and ginger. The pistachio matcha I had was perfectly made. Not too dark in color and flavored nicely. I loved the soup of the day with sourdough bread made by a local Nantucket baker. The Italian wedding soup was delicious and rustic in flavor. The overall presentation leaves a strong impression. Everything was so well put together.

When checking out, we were surprised the prices were higher than our last visit. The barista asked what milk we wanted, so we asked if there was an upcharge for alternative milks. She said no -- then she proceeded to charge us for oat milk. Not a big deal, it just spoils the experience a bit. Will likely be back! The lavender latte was pretty good!

I literally look forward to waiting in line because that's at the end of the wait. And yes, there is a line, but it moves quickly. As you wait, you can also browse their extensive selection of gifts and souvenirs, greeting cards, housewares, and magazines, as the cafe doubles as a corner store. Super cute and charming. The menu also features breakfast and lunch sandwiches, coffee (my boyfriend is obsessed with the Mocha), and of course, the Morning Bun pastries, which are totally worth the wait as well. Service is efficient, they do keep the line moving, so don't be deterred if it seems crowded when you arrive. The Hub should be your first stop in Nantucket- I know it's mine!

The benches/tables/seats outside are always dirty with melted ice cream. Kind of gross in the warmer weather. I go to The Juice Bar because I think it is cleaner, friendlier, and brighter looking. Offerings between both are essentially the same, though I'd give the nod to Juice Bar for the waffle cone alone. Prices are essentially the same too, Nantucket Tourist Robbery. But hey, it's ice cream, a treat. Why not splurge?

I had an everything bagel with egg and cheese. The egg and cheese bagel ended up somehow projectile squirting yolk everywhere on the first bite. It was kind of crazy how it managed to get all over my coat, jeans, shirt, and even my shoes. Bagels with egg and cheese are kind of my go to everywhere I go and I can honestly say nothing like this has ever happened. It was kind of ridiculous lol. My perfect egg and cheese sandwich has fluffy eggs and gooey cheese which is what I'm used to but as I said this is an ice cream shop. A really expensive one. Having said this the staff were really nice about it, and washed my coat for me and offered me a stain spray. They even offered to wash my shirt and jeans if I come back later. We will probably come back for the ice cream since they were so kind and they have a really cute backstory, but for ice cream not breakfast.
