Handlebar Café

Maybe it’s not fair to judge based on Stroll weekend (maybe they don’t have their regulars in town?) but the coffee was decidedly not good. Drip coffee was thin and bitter like Maxwell House from a diner. The cortado was equally amateurish; thin and bitter and tasting like the machine (which is a great looking La Marzocco Linea) needed to be cleaned. Someone told me this was the best coffee on the island but it’s hard to believe this was a one-off.

One of the best iced lattes in Cape Cod. We ordered two iced lattes with oat milk and maple syrup. The taste of the espresso was well-rounded, and the added syrup made it sweet but not too sweet. A very balanced latte. The young woman working there were also incredibly nice. We would definetly come back every time we’re on the island.

Small cafe right across the street from the bus stops. I made a quick visit before flying out of Nantucket island. The drinks were good and they sell merchandise as well. There are both indoor and outdoor seating available. Cool A/C was blowing on a hot summer day and it was a nice stop.

Review: Handlebar Café in Nantucket is a coffee lover's dream spot! Hands down, they serve some of the best coffee on the island. Every sip is a testament to their dedication to quality and flavor. The ambiance is just as delightful, with a quaint and cozy setting that makes it a standout spot in town. If you're searching for that perfect cup with an equally charming atmosphere, Handlebar Café is the place to be. It's not just about the coffee here; it's the whole experience. Two thumbs up!

I've had a lot of coffee on the island and Handlebar is one of the best! The atmosphere of the shop is inviting and well designed. It's easy to feel like you are having coffee at home here. Also, the staff are engaand kind. Very easy to talk to and fast! I order and I get my coffee in less than 5 minutes. It's amazing. I'm sure that time will slow down in the summer when more people arrive on the island. I love sitting outside, they have a great outdoor seating area and it is well worth investing in the time to drink your coffee there. Lastly, if you have a little time before getting on HyLine the shop is a quick walk away. Easy to get to, and again - fast. It took me 7 minutes to walk to the shop, get m coffee, and walk back. I highly recommend Handlebar, check out the photos to get a sense of the space.
