Behind the Bookstore
46 Main St, Edgartown, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away behind the bookstore in charming Edgartown, this spot has mastered the art of the slow sit with fresh-baked pastries, made-in-house everything, and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere that invites you to linger over pour overs and cold brews. The shakshuka and creative breakfast options draw steady crowds (especially in summer), and while it's not bargain-priced, the friendly staff and thoughtfully curated experience—complete with a lovely outdoor seating area—make it worth the wait and the splurge for a proper island morning.”
What to expect
Known for their pour-over program, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
