    Beacon egg n cheese on a Portuguese muffin.
    Brenda M.

    I have been coming here for many years, the breakfast sandwiches and Blueberry Muffins are delicious and consistent. The service is fast and food is hot. Maria is the friendliest, she has become a friend to us.

    Iced Caramel Latte and Hot Mocha
    Matthew L.

    Café Maria is a small café that opened in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1998. It was founded by Portuguese immigrant Maria Silva. Originally from Ponte de Lima in the north of Portugal, Silva immigrated to the United States in late 1972. She would eventually settle in Provincetown, which at one time had a large Portuguese immigrant population. It was difficult at first to learn a new language and customs, but eventually she found her niche working as a baker and teaching English to Portuguese immigrant children. In the late 1990s, an ice cream parlor by the beach went up for sale. Silva decided to purchase it and make it her own business. Today the café is open for breakfast and lunch and serves an array of fresh baked goods, sandwiches, wraps, salads, smoothies, coffees, and shakes. Staying true to the roots of the business, Silva also continues to proudly serve Gifford's Ice Cream at the café. My family and I visited Café Maria on our recent week-long trip to the Cape. We spent the third day of our trip entirely in Provincetown. Before embarking on an early morning Whale Watch cruise, we decided to see if there were any good places nearby to grab a quick breakfast. Café Maria had great recommendations on Yelp so we decided to stop there. For coffee, my sister-in-law had an Iced Caramel Latte while I had a Hot Mocha. Both drinks were very flavorful and quickly woke us up for a day of fun activities. For food, we all decided to get some breakfast sandwiches. We opted to get them served on Portuguese Muffins, which are similar to English Muffins but much sweeter and fluffier. My wife had "Eggs, Cheese & Sausage", our son had "Eggs, Cheese & Bacon", sister-in-law had "Eggs & Cheese", and I had "Eggs, Cheese & Linguiça". These were excellent breakfast sandwiches and we were all happy with our choices! If you're looking for a cheap and quick breakfast or lunch in Provincetown then look no further than Café Maria!

    Bacon egg and cheese croissant

    Very inconspicuous and doesn't look like much, but they open earlier than most places. It was difficult to decide, since everything smelled amazing!! I landed on the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and it did not disappoint!! The coffee was decent too. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

    Breakfast sandwich with bacon on Portuguese bread

    Perfect spot to grab a quick breakfast and sit at the beach! A bit pricey but what you expect for beach access. Definitely get the Portuguese bread muffin with your sandwich and the ice latte was great!

    Amazing! This has been my hidden gem! Portugués toast is amazing here and only here.

    This is such a perfect location. Right in the heart of Provincetown, next to parking lot and right on the beach! such a great way to start the morning. they have great coffee wns breakfast options perfect to enjoy the beach or to quickly start the day!

    Beautiful spot for a quiet morning breakfast on the harbor.

    I visited four coffee shops during my week in PTown. Unfortunately, this was the fourth, as I would have gone no further. Great outdoor seating on the harbor, great coffee and a rather spectacular menu fit for breakfast or lunch. Everything bagel with lox and cream cheese was excellent, and generous. Strongly recommend.

    Egg, cheese, linguica bagel sandwich

    This is a nice little coffee shop that makes tasty sandwiches that's next to the docks if you're going to go whale watching. They have outdoor seating where you can bring a dog.

    Some snack that are available.
    James C.

    Great place for breakfast or a quick snack. Located right next to town hall with some outdoor seating makes this a convenient stop. The coffee is delicious and they serve Gifford's Ice Cream! Try the bacon, egg and cheese in the croissant, very delicious.

    Strawberry and coconut.

    I can't believe I've never reviewed this place before because my friends and I eat here every year…read moreduring our annual P-Town trip. We've never had a bad meal here....everything is always great; food, service, drinks are all terrific. Usually, I'll have one of their signature cocktails (although this year I just had ginger ale) and cheesy garlic bread is always a must. I have been in a rut the past few years ordering the chicken parm but it's soooo good and also the portion is gigantic so I take half of it home for lunch the next day. The desserts are always a treat. This year we had the chocolate bomb, key lime pie and turtle cheesecake. They were all winners but the turtle cheesecake took the gold medal. Just writing my review, it makes me want to go back so I'll be looking forward to my next visit.

It honestly felt like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. It took over 45 minutes for our breakfast to arrive, and during that time, no one came by to refill our coffee or water. The service felt aloof and inattentive, and management never came over to acknowledge the excessive wait or address the situation. The only explanation we received was that they were busy. We certainly understand that restaurants can get overwhelmed during peak times, but being busy shouldn't mean that basic service and communication disappear. Overall, it was a very disappointing breakfast experience.

    I come to the cape every year with my family and we heard the absolute best things about Butch's…read more We usually go to Strangers and Saints on our first night out but we heard that this restaurant was all the rage. It might even be our new favorite. My family ordered the deviled eggs, which I got to try and I ordered a cheeseburger with french fries. I had never heard of a restaurant using shredded cheese on a burger so that was a unique experience. It was still good though. I asked for my burger cooked rare and they did just that. The meat was seasoned pretty well and the french fries hit the spot. I ordered two diet cokes that went down FAST and really washed everything down. I was happy with the service and I love that it's an LGBTQ+ owned business. The history of the restaurant is really sweet and I've heard that the owners of the restaurant will even come out to say hi to you if you ask to meet them. Overall it was a great dining experience and I would love to try more items on the menu in the future.

    We had a great birthday meal at Butch's Crown in the end of July!…read more The salads were divine. The brussel sprout elote salad was super super flavorful and tasty. The chopped italian salad was also really good. We highly recommend the salads! Next we had sandwiches for our meal. The cod bahn mi was very light and refreshing. The burger was massive and also quite tasty. I had the chicken sandwich and it was very good but a little too spicy for me. All the sandwiches came w chips except the burger was served with good fries. For dessert we shared the praline sundae and peach and blackberry cobbler. Both were incredible. Service was attentive and warm! Eli was our server and deserves all 5 stars as do the bussers who kept our waters filled and table clean

    EXTREMELY DISTURBING EXPERIENCE WITH THE WAITER!…read more This took place around 9:00 PM on Thursday, June 4. Our group consisted of three couples dining together. At the end of the meal, we asked if the bill could be split into thirds. Our waiter, Martin P., told us that he would not split the check and instead instructed us to write down exactly what each person ordered so that he could charge us separately. Although no other restaurant we visited in Provincetown required us to do this, we followed his instructions and listed our individual items. When Martin returned, he was visibly upset and stated that our payments were approximately $70 short. There was confusion because our group was trying to determine who had already paid, who had not, and whether something had been missed in the calculations. I even asked whether we were expected to calculate individual tax amounts ourselves, as no one knew what tax would be for each separate charge. Rather than calmly helping us resolve the discrepancy, Martin began yelling at our group. At one point he stated, "If I don't get $70, I am going to charge one of the credit cards that I have." This immediately concerned us. We were not refusing to pay. We were actively trying to understand where the discrepancy occurred and make sure the restaurant received the full amount owed. To resolve the issue, one of my friends and I went with Martin into a back room to review the charges. After reviewing everything, my friend agreed to pay the remaining balance immediately. The payment was processed and the bill was fully paid. At that point I was trying to calm the situation and bring it to a close. Instead, Martin became even more agitated and began yelling profanities at us. He shouted, "Get the f*** out of my restaurant! It's people like you why we don't split checks! You all need to get the f*** out now!" Other people started noticing this go down. We were stunned. The bill had been paid. Nobody was attempting to leave without paying. We were simply trying to resolve a billing issue after following the waiter's instructions. As we were leaving, my wife later told me that Martin placed his HAND ON HER BACK and guided her toward the exit. While it was not forceful, it felt unnecessary and added to an already hostile and intimidating experience. What happened next is why I ultimately decided to write this review. A few days later, while walking through Provincetown looking for a place to have lunch, our group passed The Mayflower Food & Drink and noticed Martin working there. When he saw us, he deliberately tapped on the glass to get our attention. After making eye contact, he made a hand gesture across his neck and pointed for us to leave and keep walking. The original incident had already ended. The bill had been paid. Yet days later he still felt the need to single out our group and signal that we were unwelcome. Had this simply been confusion over a split check, I would not be writing this review. Billing mistakes happen. What I cannot overlook is being threatened with unauthorized credit card charges, being screamed at with profanity while attempting to resolve the issue, being ordered out after the bill had been paid, Martin touching my wife, and then encountering the same employee days later making a gesture directed at our group from another restaurant. This experience was troubling enough that I believe others should be aware of it.
