45 Surfside Bakery and Café
45 Surfside Rd, Nantucket, MA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Nantucket neighborhood bakery has earned a fiercely loyal following for its consistently excellent pastries and sandwiches, with regulars raving about standouts like their ham and cheese croissant and creative offerings like the Tom Brady sandwich. Beyond the stellar baked goods and good coffee, what keeps people coming back is the warm hospitality—especially from manager Pelin—and the genuinely welcoming atmosphere, whether you're settling in for a leisurely breakfast or grabbing something quick with family and friends. It's the kind of place that gets better with time, where locals have already crowned their croissants island-famous.”

A great neighborhood spot! 45 just gets better as the years go on. Their ham and cheese croissant is now my no. 1 on the island, dethroning another (also fabulous) bakery. One summer, they had these street corn nachos, and we still talk about them. Good food, nice people work here!
Love this bakery! The coffee is very good and their pastries are delicious! My favorites are spinach&cheese and Eggs&ham. Also, the service is always great!
I tried the Tom Brady and Fried Chicken Sand — loved both! Pelin, the manager, was incredibly helpful in picking the right food and souvenirs from the shop. Such a great experience! ☺️
Updated April 2025.Great sandwich menu. Delicious carrot cake. Coffee is good ! Cozy sitting area indoors and outdoors. My review is specifically for the cakes 🎂 Omg they are so delicious. 45 Surfside has one of the best cheesecakes ever. If you are looking for this big fluffier mouth melted cheesecake, that is your place. I will definitely recommend the dulce de leche cake and their chocolate covered strawberries. Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏
Looking for breakfast places on the island can be a challenge. Noticing there's more accommodation outside than there is inside this particular day was raining so the inside was very busy. Very good customer service waited a little bit for fast food noticing the kitchen had an open window so you can see all the activity that was interesting. So I ordered the signature 45th sandwich on sourdough bread eggless cook perfect medium not to runny not too hard bacon was a little overdone cheese could have been a little more they included napkins on the takeaway bag order the hazelnut latte didn't really taste much hazelnut. I guess I'm a snob when it comes to lattes.
