There's a little freezer with chocolate covered frozen bananas- in dark and milk chocolate varieties. It was the first time I had a dark chocolate covered frozen banana. It was awesome!

Papers, donuts and…read morecoffee Rockport Market is a little store just stuffed with all kinds of things. The type of place that was very common in most towns before the rise of the large chain super markets. I'm not sure how long it's been around, but I suspect quite a while. The market has all the usually things you would expect from a local market. Plenty of junk food, milk, hot coffee and drinks, soda, local papers, sandwiches, ice cream, bread and even some can goods. The market isn't large but manages to fit in a couple of tables where people can sit to eat their donuts, drink coffee and perhaps engage in a bit of conversation or gossiping. Or you can sit out in front of the store, something that seems to be quite popular. A little local market that isn't going to have everything you need but since there really isn't anywhere else in Rockport it usually is enough. A whole lot quicker and more convenient than driving down to Gloucester for a donut or newspaper.

Looks like they are generally open 9am-6pm daily, sometime early May through year end. Order at the counter inside their little shop, pay, and head down the little alley (hold on tightly to your stuff so you don't accidentally drop anything enroute) to their back deck with limited seating, and access to their bathrooms. Listen up for your name and they will bring you your food on a tray. A family of three shared the 3 chicken lobsters for $50 during the 2025 season, and a dozen raw oysters for $30. My single lobster was $18. Single oysters $3 apiece. Creamy clam chowder $7. Stuffed clam $3. The $30 cold lobster roll came with cole slaw and a bag of chips. The hot dog roll looked small but was well filled with fresh sweet lobster meat. Her smoked salmon $8 were two thick chunks of fish. My hot in-shell boiled lobster arrived several minutes after, pre-cracked. Carefully poured out the green water, and I went at it. Making use of the sink by the bathroom afterwards to get cleaned up. A delicious way to start our outing to Rockport! BTW parking in the nearby area is paid and seasonal. Head to the kiosk, enter the license plate, pay an affordable price, and stick the slip on your dashboard. Parking tickets are no fun.

Lazy Lobster Casserole: 4oz of lobster meat, baked with butter and breadcrumbs, quite satisfying. The lobster meat was firm and delicious, the butter was fragrant, but the breadcrumbs were too burnt, and the seasoning was a bit too salty. Fried Calamari: Just average fried calamari, too much batter. We should have ordered fried scallops, but my dad wanted calamari... Baked Potato: Another average baked potato. We discovered they served it with butter afterward Coleslaw: Not very good. The sweetness was generally right, but it lacked a clear, bright flavor. Side Salad: Sweet and sour, very refreshing!

Not even fifteen minutes later, the space filled up with people asking for window tables.

We ordered a bowl of clam chowder to share, the fried haddock basket with a side of slaw, and the fish tacos with a side of fries. The one unfortunate thing was that our fries had a strand of hair embedded inside, but they were able to replace it for us. Otherwise a pretty decent meal to start off our day strolling around the neighborhood.
