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.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

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…

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! ☺️
