These people - and coffee!! - are terrific. Arrived after closing and while I asked for another place they would recommend I go, they insisted on making me a coffee. It is delicious and I am a terribly judgmental coffee drinker. Truly fantastic. Oh, and the blueberry scone is yummy too. read more

My lox bagel was great. I love that they have republic of tea! Great little spot and really nice staff.

Second time coming here for the benefit of the doubt... Anyways the coffee tastes weak, food is a small step up from Dunks. Customer service needs most of the attention if anything. You're much MUCH better off going across the street to Charlie's Place. read more

Very friendly server. Drive through was quick and efficient and it's a welcome change to the numb, lifeless, disconnected experience you get at other coffee companies .. I'm looking at you Starbucks. read more

If you're looking for a cute, independent coffee spot in Gloucester, you have to stop at Cape Ann Coffees. The coffee shop and cafe has a wonderful selection of flavored coffees. Here, the flavor is from the beans, not artificial syrups or flavorings. The Vanilla Coffee is some of the best I've ever had and the flavor is truly incredible. Game changer. In addition to the spectacular coffees, they also have a phenomenal tea selection. My favorite is the iced passionfruit tea with a splash of lemonade. Incredibly smooth, not overly sweet like the chain version of this iced tea! They also have a phenomenal selection of jewish-style bagels, breakfast/bagel sandwiches, pastries, muffins, quiche, and much more! We stopped in to grab iced coffee/tea + breakfast to enjoy down at the beach! I'd highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich. I ordered it on an everything bagel. It comes with creamy cream cheese, juicy tomatoes, onions, and capers. It was hands-down one of the Top 3 Smoked Salmon/Lox sandwiches I've ever had! Everything was bursting with flavor and was incredibly fresh! Prices are reasonable and the quality is unmatched! I am up in Gloucester frequently and cannot believe I've driven by this place so many times without stopping. It's a true Gem and the owner is very involved. She is incredibly kind and served us both inside and at the drive-thru! I love owners that are willing to roll up their sleeves and take pride in their business. When I'm up in Gloucester next, I will be back for another Smoked Salmon Bagel! That salmon was some of the freshest I've had! A must-stop for a morning coffee/tea and bagel/pastry in Gloucester! read more

We got iced lattes and breakfast sandwiches to go. It's great to have a a drive through option that's not a huge chain. The sandwiches were delicious and we really appreciated the extra touch of cutting them in half. The lattes were also great. Not too sweet and a nice balance of flavors. read more

Great food and drinks but terrible staff and management. Went in for coffee and breakfast this morning and had to make a quick last minute mod to a drink I ordered right when I ordered it but I didn't realize it was already almost done getting made. The cashier told the girl making my drink how I actually wanted it so the drink maker just stood there shaking her head and was slamming things and was very visibly frustrated. I'm a waitress so I get sometimes work in the service industry can be stressful but I would never act that way infront of a guest. Shortly after I called them to tell the manager about my experience just as alittle bit of feedback and the manager Rick asked who it was and I said I'm a customer and he says "worst time to call me" and the hung up on me. They need either a retraining or preferably a whole new staff and management read more

This team is working exceptionally hard. Their food and coffee hits the spot and is done quick. The prices are super great and it's nice to just sit here for a moment before heading out for the day. I recommend. read more

This is our 2nd year visiting Gloucester on our annual girls' fall trip and Cape Ann Coffees is a must stop! The coffees and food were delicious, loved the seasonal flavors !!!! Great and friendly service, we will be back ! read more

This place has Great coffee, good service, and nice people. The baked goods and quiche are fresh, the portions are fair and the little indoor cafe is quite cozy. read more

A short one, as I visited only once. More of a homey spot than one for a coffee snob. I thought our cafe lattes were a little weak, but in fairness to the house, maybe I should have requested due cappucini instead, or asked for an extra shot in mine. It was early. The baked goods, a chocolate dipped biscotto, and an oatmeal cookie, were both excellent. Service was efficient, I went inside rather than wait in the line of cars. Hardly any wait. Will try something else next year. read more

Cute little place for a quick coffee and small breakfast. The Salmon Lox bagel is great. Coffee and latte were delish. They have 7 or 8 tables if you'd like to order and sit but not quite a full-service dining type of joint. The cinnamon rolls and quiche also looked amazing so we'll have to come back! Also the brekkie sandwiches sounded tasty. Drive thru available as well if you are on the go. read more

Visited the area with family for the first time, decided to place an online take out order from here. Placed a rather large order, and they even called me to gather more details about a food allergy that I had mentioned when ordering. which was nice. Order was ready super fast and everything was great! Loved the quiche! Thank you CAC! read more

This place was .2 miles from where we were staying so we walked and it was great! Staff was so incredibly nice and food was good too. They have a drive through as well and are super efficient! Great spot to stop! read more

Soy Latte was good and hot. Lemon blueberry pound cake was distinctively lemony if not a tad on the too sweet and dry side. (Sugar free muffin available.) Clearly a local neighborhood shop with a popular drive thru. Apple strudel was fresh and flaky but filling tasted canned. Inside, the cashier was on the brusque-business like side of things but she kept things moving on a hoppin' Sunday morning in summertime Gloucester. read more

Cape Ann Coffees - Lemon Blueberry pound cake and apple strudel. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

They always give me the wrong order. It has happened 4-5 times in 2 months. Ridiculous! I have had to throw away the food more than once because I didn't have time to go back. read more

A great spot for locals and tourists. The food is great and drinks are good as well. It can get very busy on the weekends in the summer so be prepared to wait, however once you order it comes up fast. read more

I cannot say enough about how fabulous this place is. Excellent coffee & food!! Extremely fun employees!! We come here as often as possible. read more

Ham, egg, and cheese and a medium iced coffee. Done and done. The coffee is fresh and light. The service is always with a smile, and relaxed. The breakfast sandwiches are out of this world! It's thin thin sliced ham, but stacked nice and thick to really fill you up. It's definitely a pit stop when I'm in town. read more

Cape Ann Coffees is still my "go to" place for the very best lunch sandwich/wrap/dessert/coffee on Cape Ann. The owners and staff are very friendly and care about happy customers and good food. Be sure to look at their special sandwich list on the counter. The very best wrap sandwiches you could ever want are listed there. And since you've been good, be sure to add one of those crispy oatmeal/raisin cookies to your order for dessert (or as an appetizer as you drive away with your carry-out sandwich). Great coffee. Period. (If Dunkin Donuts is your coffee preference, you won't understand) read more

This place is still my favorite. I'm obsessed with their lox sandwich. Bagels are perfection too read more

The iced mocha here was quite tasty. Even with the amount of chocolate and milk that goes into making one, I could still taste the intense flavor of espresso, which is typically where places go wrong. They offered their iced americano to be made with iced coffee, essentially making it a red-eye, which was a nice touch too. Again, the espresso flavor was quite pronounced, while being very smooth and not bitter at all. They also sold homemade quiche, which I am a sucker for, and is rare nowadays. read more

In addition to the best coffee on Cape Ann, they have oatmeal cookies that are to die for! This coffee shop, including freshest sandwiches, exudes excellence in every detail; I'm not exaggerating... read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Coffee is always fresh and delicious! They bake everything in house and it's all amazing. The breakfast sandwiches are the best. Muffins and cookies are so good! The owners work as hard as the employees and take pride in their place, and it shows!! Stop here you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a great place for locally roasted coffee. Their regular brew is very nice. No burnt notes or harsh acid flavor. Very smooth and pleasant to drink. A nice selection of pastries, muffins and the like for breakfast. They also make above average breakfast sandwiches on toast, english muffins, or bagels. Perfectly cooked eggs with a nice cheese slice alone or with bacon, sausage (yum), or ham. If their lunch offerings are as good as breakfast they could be a good mid day stop too. Really pleasant staff and a hangout for lots of locals. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday morning, not that busy. Inside nice local coffee place. My wife has been there a lot and really likes their coffee (she likes a good dark roast). We also had the following: -Brownie: fudgey, really nice, good size -Blueberry scone: okay, pretty soft/cake-like (I like my scones classic - dry) -Bacon, egg, cheese on English muffin: solid, pretty good. Staff: nice and friendly Prices great compared to most read more

I really love Cape Ann Coffees! Their breakfast sandwiches and pastries are fantastic and the prices are reasonable. I like the bagel sandwiches the best. read more

Visited Gloucester for two weeks, and stopped in to Cape Ann Coffees almost every day. What makes a local business a community 'hub'? I don't know, but Gloucester does. I noticed families and all generations made this place home, as we did. Somehow there was always room for us, though it was usually busy. The crew was super. (Note to Jordy, might try giving them another chance man, you're missing out.) I loved the salads and breakfast sandwiches. We never did the drive-through but I would if I lived there, for sure. The tables were comfortable and beautiful, the food was delicious, & the coffee was too. They bake the goodies themselves, including the amazing Danish birthday cake. We came back for bagged coffee for gifts for family here in Hawaii. (I know, coals to Newcastle, but it is that good.) The owners Rick and Dorthe made us right at home. I wish they would open a branch in Honolulu. Aloha Cape Ann Coffees, see you next year! read more

What a great place for breakfast and coffee! if you order X-large coffee its huge also you must try the lox & bagel it's over the top

great local place it took them forever to make me a latte but overall everything was good. the blueberry muffin was delicious and the breakfast sandwich was ok. quiche and cinnamon rolls are delish. service was a little weird .. you have one person who is friendly and helpful and someone else who is oblivious. all in all, a thumbs up. they do allow dogs in the outside area :) read more

I have Cape Ann Coffees on my speed dial and they recognize my number when it comes up on caller ID. In fact, I know when the seasonal help is hired because they don't know my order. The owners are friendly and go out of their way to get to know their regulars. The food is fresh and made to order. None of the Dunkies or McD's breakfasts here. The muffins are "To Die For" and I love their quiches. While they offer plenty of flavored coffees, I stick with their regular blend - it's just right. If you're looking for a quick, delish breakfast, Cape Ann Coffees is your stop. If you're looking for a quick stop on your way to Good Harbor Beach, check out CAC for their sandwiches and wraps.. Plus, they've got fresh-cut watermelon cups and super yummy desserts. And some real, friendly, local service. read more

Just a quick update... I've found myself at Cape Ann Coffees three times in the last week, and I'm appreciating them more than ever. Depending on when you go, there isn't much of a line (even in the morning crunch when other places are packed) and the staff is very friendly and quick with your order. I am now addicted to the iced vanilla chai latte. So good! The price is reasonable too. I definitely want to urge every coffee lover that comes through Gloucester to give Cape Ann Coffees a chance. So much to choose from, and so many goodies for sale. Yum! read more

They had a nice variety to choose from and the iced vanilla latte I got was pretty good. Always nice to know of a solid coffee shop other than DD in different locations since I end up traveling around MA a lot. read more

Stayed in town right near this shop, so we made it in every morning for breakfast. Coffee, sandwiches, pastries all delicious. Muffins are like sweet corn bread. So good! They have avocado! So happy to add that to my egg and cheese English muffin! The price is right, the food is delicious! read more

The sandwiches here are amazing especially the turkey. I always went here on the way to school in high school for a breakfast sandwich. Quick and easy service. read more

This place is amazing! Their coffee and pastries are wonderful and I can't say enough about their sweet, friendly staff. We were visiting the area and woke up really early today. Luckily, they were open and had an assortment of fresh, delicious goodies for us to choose from. Definitely recommend!! read more

Love CAC. We go a lot. Love the food, coffee, and folks behind the counter. But only 4 stars because I can't understand why the owner doesn't destroy the nest where the yellow jackets come out every summer for years now and ruin our meal every single time my 85 year old mom want to enjoy our meal on a warm day out on their terrific patio. We end up having to go back inside every time. Please destroy the nest!!! read more

Note to owner- hire staff motivated to help the customers- I was in their today at 415pm and wanted a simple double shot of espresso and since the staff had already broke down the machine the woman behind the counter gave me a look that could kill. Not sure I'll come back and I drive by a # of times per week year round. read more

Pretty disappointed the place didn't live up to its ratings. The coffee was pretty bad and sour tastings. And the staff was a bit rude. Definitely won't be returning. I'd rather go to dunkins. read more
