I eat here a few times a month, and it has become one of my go-to spots. Whether I'm grabbing a coffee and breakfast sandwich, a fresh and delicious bagel, or, if I'm feeling like treating myself, one of their cheese danishes--which is honestly the best I've ever had--you really can't go wrong. Lunch is always easy, with well-made sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and a great selection depending on what you're in the mood for. My go-to is the "Dinghy." The staff are always friendly, attentive, and hardworking. They keep the line moving while still making sure everyone is taken care of and happy. The owner is also often there working side by side with the staff, which says a lot about the kind of place this is. Everything is consistently fresh and excellent quality. Highly recommend! read more

Love their breakfast muffins and sandwiches, but on this trip, we stopped in for lunch. Last visit, we had the most incredible egg salad BLT, and were so sad to see that it wasn't on the menu anymore. Luckily, a lot of their other lunch sandwiches sounded great, so we decided to try the bathing beauty and the gale. Both were fantastic, but the bathing beauty was the winner. Creamy mozzarella, ripe tomato, and salty prosciutto. Service was quick even with a big crowd, and we scored a nice table to enjoy our food inside. Even without our beloved egg salad BLT, we'll definitely come back again! read more

I always make sure to hit this place a few times when we vacation near Chatham. I'm afraid I can't review the entire menu as I always get the egg, cheese and linguiça on the Portuguese roll. I do get a few different pastries and they've all been excellent. I normally wouldn't bother rating the service, as it's mostly self service. However, this year my son was with me and asked if they had clam chowder during breakfast time. A woman who may have been the proprietor or may have been a manager overheard and told us yes. And when we got to the front of the line to order other food and pay, the clam chowder was waiting for us. Well done, Chatham Cookware Café! read more

Came here on a recommendation from a local friend. It was nothing fancy. But it was a solid turkey sandwich with fresh ingredients in a charming little place. Sometimes you just have to appreciate the basics. read more

Great! We had brunch here, a few breakfast items and a couple of sandwiches and soup- all were delicious! Friendly folks took our order. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Cute grab and go options as well. Definitely recommended if you're in Chatham!Side note: They don't have espresso or matcha drinks. If you want espresso, go to Snowy Owl across the street. read more

Cool little coffee shop right near my hotel. Stopped in two mornings for coffee and pastries and they were excellent. Very friendly woman working the counter, was really good. read more

Decent breakfast sandwiches and bagels/pastries. Good people watching on the benches outside. Always crowded for breakfast and lunch rush.

I ordered an egg cheese and sausage sandwich on gluten free bread. I was handed two pieces of cardboard untoasted bread with a piece of egg and sausage floating in between them, the cooks couldn't even be bothered to toast it for me or make the sandwich look semi edible in appearance or at the very least warm. All of my friends who ordered regular sandwiches had full portions of sausage and egg with melted cheese pressed together in toasted bread pieces, and mine was a sorry excuse for prison food. I took it out of the bag and my party gasped in disbelief of what I was served. Not to mention I was charged 11 dollars for it. Excellent start to my birthday! read more

The inside of this cafe is definitely cute and I think I could have a different, better opinion if I tried the sandwiches or some of the pastries. I just wasn't wowed by the coffee or the prices. The service was slow and really not very accommodating. There aren't a ton of drink options and you essentially make your own coffee, which isn't necessarily a bad thing I've been to coffee shops like this before. We ordered two frozen lemonades and they tasted completely different, one of them was just a sugar slushy. read more

Good spot for a quick breakfast and coffee. We stayed in town and stopped in twice for breakfast. Coffee is self serve and there's a separate line just for coffee. Pastries were just OK. Skip the scone. Breakfast sandwich is similar to an egg McMuffin. I was thinking it would be more of a scrambled egg, my mistake. Staff was fine but not overly friendly or helpful. They charge a service charge for cards better to pay cash. read more

This is a great quick & easy solution for those needing a little food to go, or if you need a quick lunch. Their selections are made fresh, they have a cute side patio in addition to a larger one that's fully covered in the back that's worth it on hot sunny days (as it happened to be for us when we went). read more

Breakfast sandwiches are awesome, highly recommended. Yelp made me add filler even though I said what I had to say. read more

The cutest and easy lunch/breakfast shop to stop in if you are staying or visiting in Chatham. We stopped in while waking around. It was busy which I knew was a good sign that it's somewhere good to eat and I was happy with the choice to try it. Great variety of pastries or sweet treats, coffee and sandwich options. They have THE best cheese danish I have ever had, cookies were huge and coffee selection was perfect. We grabbed lunch here as well. The sandwiches were a little pricey but delicious. I tried the "Ding" chicken salad which was so light and tasty. The staff was helpful and even though it was busy we did not wait a long time to check out. There is a very small section of tables and and outdoor bench to sit and eat. read more

Cham cookware was recommended to me by a local as a great go to for sandwiches. The menu is very robust and I had quite a difficult time choosing what to order. They were also extremely busy it's always a good idea to call into this location. I got the riptide which was turkey with dill Havarti and a cranberry chipotle mayo with bacon on seven grain bread. My overall impression was the sandwich was overwhelmed by the cranberry. I couldn't really taste the other flavors. I would try something different on my next visit. The outdoor seating is so nice and expensive. I really enjoyed sitting outside and people watching. read more

This place was packed! So chose the quick grab and go sandwhich for me and the kids. The pre-prepared sandwhiches were fresh and delicious. My daughter enjoyed her roast beef- the flavor combo of the roasted peppers, lettuce, tomato, onions, roast beef, and herbed spread was perfect. She also loved that it came on marble rye. I chose the chicken salad which was also fresh and the perfect thing for a hot summer day. The tables out back in the shade were lovely - it was nice to get off the sidewalk and away from the crowds and just chill. We also had a sesame bagel, which when toasted with butter (a little heavy branded on the butter), was reminiscent of buttered popcorn- not in a bad way. It was more of a Montreal style bagel... a little more dense which I like, but my daughter prefers the the airier ny style. We finished off with a pastry - a kouign amann... which looked amazing, my daughter loved it, but i found it a little disappointing. read more

Chatham Cookware Cafe used to have the best sandwiches chock full of protein, i.e. turkey, roast beef, etc. This week, I ordered a roast beef sandwich wrap and basically got a lettuce sandwich with one very thin slice of roast beef. It was chock full of lettuce, but if the owner thought I didn't notice, I did. I won't be back anytime soon to order a sandwich and get ripped off. read more

I spent two days in Chatham staying at the Wayside Inn. Continental breakfast was included there however since it was table-service, I wanted some thing a little more casual. Headed right next-door to Chatham cookware Café. I was pleasantly surprised at all they had to offer when looking for a quick meal. I ordered the sunrise breakfast sandwich two days in a row and it was simple and delicious. I had brewed tea and their bottled fresh squeezed orange juice. My kids had croissants and muffins. We liked everything we had. The service was slow at the register but I'm giving five stars for the breakfast sandwich. Seemed to have locals coming in which I take as a good sign. Would return! read more

Very disappointed! No prices listed on anything! No personality on either employee encounter! Bland egg sandwich and pastry too petite for price, possibly day old? 4% credit card! read more

In NYC these small independent markets, some consider high end, sell their pasta salads for a realistic price. Let's make a comparison. No, why not take advantage of those who, should I continue? read more

The best - they have delicious coffee and grab and go food. I love going here for lunch and breakfast. They can get busy but the line moves fast and all the staff are young and so nice! I come here every day that I am in Chatham. read more

The food here is good, but the process of ordering is slightly confusing. During peak times it gets SUPER busy. The sandwiches are good though! read more

A real treat!! The gluten free offerings at Chatham Cookware Cafe, where I visited twice on my most recent cape cod stay. The GF blueberry muffin and GF chocolate chip cookie were excellent. The GF brownie was moist and tasty, but closer to chocolate cake than brownie in texture. The double chocolate muffin was also very good. read more

We are in town for Chatham's first night and got coffee and a bite to eat here two of the mornings we were in town. Everything was good, probably the best thing our group had was the blueberry muffin and the "hi ho Joe". coffee. The spinach & feta croissant looked good but the ham & cheese one tasted much better. The help left a little to be desired, they had to be reminded several times what was ordered from the pastry case but overall we'd go back. read more

Stopped in for a sandwich and baked goods. I had the riptide sandwich which was a panini with turkey, bacon, cheese and a cranberry sour cream spread. The bread was delicious, crispy with a slight cinnamon flavor. The spread was so good. I would definitely order this "large shareable" sandwich again. The potato salad was also very good. Tuna Salad and Egg salad looked good. You can pick up the salads to go and make your own with bread from the bakery. My favorite baked good was the Kouign-Amann (butter cake). This could possibly be the best dessert I've never heard of. Try it!! read more

Chatham Cookware Cafe is a mistake I make once a year. At this point, I'll acknowledge that I deserve less than five stars for repeating it, but after this weekend I feel irresponsible not warning others to find a sandwich elsewhere. On Sunday I ordered two sandwiches over the phone and was told they would be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived 40 minutes later to a very crowded store, and walked up to the sandwich counter where an employee who looked like she wanted to be anywhere else directed me to the normal line (with everyone who hadn't ordered). I waited for 20 minutes to get to the front of the line, where I paid and reiterated that I had ordered in advance. I then waited an additional 30 minutes for my sandwiches... a full 90 minutes after my order for those counting. During this time, I checked in periodically with the staff who seemed entirely indifferent. I understand that staffing is tough right now. I understand that sometimes you over promise and underdeliver. But this isn't new.... It's how they were before COVID, supply chain bottlenecks, and staffing shortages. I have an infant, and by the time I got my sandwiches, I had to skip the beach and go straight back home for the next nap. Oh... and the sandwiches aren't good. Unless you feel it's appropriate to pay $13 for Pepperidge Farms bread with kind of deli meat that comes pre sliced in those containers that look like they've been at the grocery store since the last president was in office. The reason you buy a sandwich instead of making it yourself is because it's either more convenient or better than you could make your own. They miss on both fronts. As we drove away I saw a hot dog guy, and I got borderline emotional that I didn't just opt for that.... read more

Everything here is fresh and delicious. The best baked goods in Chatham, bar none! The sandwiches are huge and delicious. The "Buoy" is the best tuna sandwich I've ever had! read more

Amazingggg the chicken salad IS THE BEST EVER! Many salad/sandwich/soups and pastries to choose from. It's a must if you're in Chatham!

Awesome place to go for coffee, baked goods and sandwiches. They have about 7-8 different kinds of coffee for you to choose and even frozen drinks such as watermelon lemonade and Arnold Palmer. There is usually a line and it moves pretty quickly. It's usually pretty crowded but I can definitely see why! read more

Contrary to yelp user "Ted", wait times are completely normal for summer season as they are doing the best they can and everyone is short staffed. Did you forget to pack your patience? Prices are very fair considering the portions, especially for the fresh pastries and huge freshly made sandwiches. Love the gale force. Great staff and great food, never any complaints. People: Don't want to be nice to workers or don't want wait times? Don't come to Cape Cod. read more

Poor service. Displayed to the left is an "express pickup line" for call ahead orders. I had to wait an hour for my pick up order, so i was hoping for ease when i got there. Not the case. I stood at the express pickup line being eyed by employees but not acknowledged. When i tried to ask an associate if i was in the right line; i was ignored. I then moved to the back of the non-express line and just as i do that, same associate who ignored me goes "i can help the next person in line". Will not be back this summer. As for the food? I could have done better elsewhere within that hour if i'm being honest. But the sandwiches were made correctly. read more

My husband and I were spending the weekend in the Cape celebrating our honeymoon and stumbled across this place after many of the nearby restaurants were closed due to the 4th of July. They were friendly and fast. There portoguese rolls are amazing! read more

Decent sandwich, mine was names 'Buoy' in the maritime theme...basically it was Tuna, dressing, on whole wheat bread - priced at $8.25 which is neither especially great value nor overpriced given the location. Iced coffee wasn't the best I've had (far from it). Overall the location (Chatham main st, and the garden setting to eat) elevates it to 3 stars. read more

On vacation we stopped into the Chatham Cookware Cafe for a sandwich because we wanted something quick and easy. The descriptions of the sandwiches sounded delicious and they were made to order. Unfortunately, the sandwich I choose, The Binnacle, didn't have much of the main ingredient in it, hummus. It was described as hummus with shredded carrots, tomato, lettuce, sprouts and onion. There was more than enough onion, tons of shredded carrots, but I am guessing maybe a teaspoon of the hummus. Very disappointing. Also my friend ordered the Spinnaker, and she said there was barely any hummus in hers. The food was fresh, but missing a main ingredient, which is that part I wanted most of! read more

This is a lovely cafe with a diverse menu, good coffee, friendly staff, and wonderful outdoor seating. They did a really nice job throughout the Summer despite being short staffed. They shut down for a bit when they could not find workers, a real challenge for many businesses in Chatham this year, but opened back up. I would highly recommend this Chatham Cookware Cafe to anyone living in or visiting Chatham. read more

Nice space, good coffee, and it appears to have nice baked goods and creative sandwiches. It has WAY more seating than you would expect to see in a Main Street storefront. I had a sort of barbecue chicken panini. It was pretty good but nothing special, and certainly not worth $8. It's also yet another Chatham business staffed by miserable high school/college students. I guess I don't know what I expect from such a seasonal place as Chatham, and this isn't a problem exclusive to CCC, but these kids need some happy pills or something. At any rate, good coffee! I'd be willing to give it one more shot. read more

Breakfast is great with muffins including the French Breakfast Muffin...my personal favorite. For lunch there are soups and sandwiches. It is my go to stop every morning after my walk through Chatham. ANd, on the weekends and in the summer the parade of old cars parked in front of the Chatham Cookware is just wonderful to watch! Don't be fooled by the name "Cookware"...this is a great bakery and breakfast/lunch spot to eat there (in the back outside or in the front area) OR just to grab and go. -Beth read more

Don't let the name fool you. This spot is a cafe serving coffee, breakfast sandwiches and pastries, ranging from cookies to Cro- nuts and Kouign-Amann. However, if you are coming here for breakfast, note that if you have a nut allergy, you can't get any pastries. You are only limited to the breakfast sandwiches (Which are quite good) but they use the same baking sheet to bake there Reese's peanut butter cups cookies as their nut free pastries. So if you have a nut allergy, be prepared to get a breakfast sandwich. read more

Great for breakfast!! Went there two mornings in a row because it was so good. The bagels and breakfast sandwiches are awesome, and the pastries are the cherry on top. Highly recommend for a quick breakfast. read more
