Crema's Take
“Macphail's Corner Cafe makes a legitimately excellent lobster roll—one reviewer called it the best and largest on the island—but the experience is undermined by inconsistent service, with multiple complaints about a hostile manager, slow/confusing ordering, and prices that feel steep for what arrives. The breakfast items (burritos, griddle-toasted muffins) have their admirers, but quality is spotty across the menu and the vibe reads rushed rather than welcoming. Go if you're specifically after their lobster roll and don't mind rolling the dice on service; otherwise, there are friendlier options on the island.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

This review is for the breakfast burrito with the special sauce added (should be default imo), and for the muffins, sliced in half with butter and then put on the griddle for a bit. IMO this combo is super strong here.
A theme I found in Martha’s Vineyard was the feeling of being rushed. I ordered their lobster roll. The cashier rung me up. I wanted to add a soda. He rang me up again and then I decided I should get a water. The cashier rolled his eyes harder than a heavy rock rolling down a…
Best and LARGEST lobster roll on the island. Hefty warm roll filled with chilled, large chunks of lobster salad. So amazing I wanted to go back for another. If you really want to treat yourself, get the frozen Arnold Palmer (frozen lemonade with iced tea) or the old school…
