Everything about this spot is so great! Food is yum and their breakfasts are the best. The muffins and pancakes are amazing! Best service even in peak season. We cannot go often enough. read more

Friendly staff, great outdoor space for those with a dog, side street quiet and excellent food. We enjoyed a great lunch on the patio, Cape Salad and Fried fish sandwich. Both were excellent as the fish was crisp, but not oily and served on a brioche bun with lettuce and tomato. We returned again later in our stay to enjoy pizza, clams with garlic broth which had perfect flavor and plenty of bread for the broth. First time visitors and we look forward to returning. I imagine it is much more crowded in the summer, but in September it had a nice local feel to it. In September they close at 8:00 so if you want to stay out late you'll have to move on to another space. While we didn't have drinks a neighboring table got some and spoke highly of the quality. read more

We only made this stop to order takeout from the bakery, which offers a variety of items, including cupcakes, cookies, and muffins. The service we received was professional and easygoing from start to finish. We even had a pleasant conversation, which shows that the company truly cares for its customers. We were thrilled with our orders, and I ordered a delicious cupcake. I can't wait to try the food next time on our visit. read more

Breakfast service is good. Nice outdoor seating area. Best thing on the menu are baked goods and Pancakes. The baker is excellent he also makes the pancakes! Never impressed with the omelets. . read more

No one should visit the Wellfleet area without checking out the Flying Fish for breakfast or lunch! Truly the best pancakes I have ever had, and I've had lots all over the world. Their baked goods--particularly their muffins (try the "Cape Codder")--are stellar too. Also, great egg dishes and sandwiches. Friendly service. Can eat outside when the weather is nice. Only downside is that they can be busy, which is just a testament to how popular they are with the local folks. read more

I'd skip this place based on the inexpertness of the chefs in executing simple dishes. The mushy, under seasoned, overboiled home fries really stood out here as bad. Certainly not worth ordering. The salmon omelette was cooked to a rubbery consistency. However, the pancakes were good. Coffee was weak. They do have a fair amount of patio seating which is good for a clear summer day. Parking lot can get crowded. read more

Iced Coffee is amazing. We love the dirt balls! And the cheddar bacon scone. Every time we visit we come to the flying fish at least 3-4 times! read more

I love the food here but if service is sub par it ruins the whole experience. Honestly, waiting 30 minutes to get a waiter , no water, and another 40-45 minutes for tuna, (already made I'm assuming ) 2 salads and pancakes is way too long in my opinion. Never once saw management peep their head out to see how things were going on a patio. We had 2 tables of 5, one with an infant and a 4 year old and they took the adult table's order first. Read the room people. read more

The Flying Fish is an adorable cafe in Wellfleet that largely caters to the summer crowd. They are open until 10 PM, but the website is a bit misleading: the kitchen is only open for lunch until 3 PM, so if you show up after a day at the beach at 3:30 PM, you are outta luck. However!! they do serve Paninis, quiches, and drinks between 3 PM and dinnertime, so you can get some grub if you want during the inbetween-time. There's tons of shade on the expansive patio, and plenty of places to sit if you arrive during off-hours. If you arrive at peak breakfast, lunch, or dinner time during the summer, you will wait 30 to 45 minutes to sit. Occasionally they have live bands come play. Pastries are delicious, sandwiches are satisfying, drinks are cool and delicious, and it's a lovely place to spend a summer afternoon. read more

The only thing memorable about this place is the price. The burger wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Extremely average. Asked for it medium but it was closer to medium well or even well done. Didn't taste like they seasoned any part of my meal. I added cheese and one egg to my burger. To my surprise they charged me 4.50 for a single egg. Talk about profit margins and price gouging! $2 for cheese is annoying but l knew about in advance so that's fine. The jerk chicken sandwich was a waste of calories. Somehow they made jerk seasoning taste bland. Chicken was a little dry but not too bad. Again just super average food. Sweet potato fries were the best part of the meal but they were again just average. read more

Very disappointing. Was given a pretty nice recommendation so we drove 12 miles on a Tuesday morning just to see a note on the door: kitchen closed. No explanation. Not likely to try them again. read more

I come to The Flying Fish Cafe & Deli every time I go paddleboarding in the morning and I really love their coffee and their choice of non-dairy milk options. They also have quite a few gluten and dairy-free items on their menu including pastries, which can be rare. I ended up getting their customizable omelet with ham, mushrooms, peppers, olives, and onions. I would have preferred if the ham and vegetables were cooked into the omelet rather than cooked separately and then folded over but it was still delicious. I have yet to taste the gluten and dairy-free paleo cookie, which I believe is chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, but I'm very excited. read more

the breakfast burrito and home fries were flavorless and didn't have cilantro like stated on the menu. For the higher prices I would have thought it'd taste better. The service wasn't great either we were never asked if we wanted more water or coffee or anything else. A "have a good day" or something like that when she closed us out would have been nice too. It also smelt like sewage outside. read more

Great local place, with excellent dinner and breakfasts. Very casual,but nice place. Service was tough the night we were there but we weren't in a hurry, so it didn't matter. The food was worth it. Such a nice experience that we came the next morning for breakfast on our way out of town. Very homey atmosphere and good prices. read more

My wife and I have been there two times for breakfast. I was a little hesitant going there due to the many bad reviews, but I am glad we gave it a try. We both had scrambled eggs, with their homemade fries and toast, and coffee, and honestly everything was very tasty. The home fries specially were very well seasoned, and it was not extremely expensive (Cape Cod price). read more

I love the pizzas here. But this is about the pies. Do yourself a favor and indulge - place the order a day in advance and get a pie. Blueberry - this is homemade crust and filling. It's really really really good. Some people know to do this, most don't. But do it. read more

Flying Fish Cafe & Deli - a plate of clams - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

The setting is wonderful. We were there on a gorgeous sunny, cool fall day We sat outside on the deck. There was only one other couple, and the whole vibe was calm and relaxing. Here's where the good news ends. My husband ordered the curried chicken salad. The overflowing sandwich with pickles and chips looked amazing. Unfortunately, he said it was just fair. Very bland. I had scrambled eggs, English muffin, home fries, and ham. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the home fries which looked great, were also bland. Too bad. IMO, it doesn't take much to make home fries tasty. Service: Here's what really annoyed me: I wanted to order Eggs Benedict. I love eggs benny and order it frequently at many restaurants. The one change I always make is asking for scrambled rather than poached eggs. Think what you will about my choices, I have never had a problem. Never. Yet, our Flying Fish waitress was utterly thrown by my request, and after she spoke with the cook, I was told "We can't do this." WTF? It was 1pm on Sunday and there was only one other couple in the entire restaurant. No reason given, just that the cook wouldn't do it. This strikes me as inane. They offer scrambles eggs on the menu, and it's not like this is some fine dining experience where scrambled eggs will ruin the chef's creation. Give me a break. So instead, I ordered: scrambled eggs, English muffin, ham, and a side of hollandaise sauce. Apparently, they didn't have any problem with that. In fact, when all was said and done, I ended up getting home fries with my order of eggs, which I wouldn't have gotten with Eggs Benedict. What really irritates me though, is this: What I ordered cost .50 more than the Eggs Benedict. Oh brother! Be forewarned though, there is a $2.00 charge to substitute an English muffin for toast. My order of ham looked liked a very thin slice of grilled deli meat. It was a triangle about 2" on all sides. Also tasteless. My side of hollandaise was roughly the quantity of a tablespoon. Maybe they DID have a problem with what I ordered and decided to stick it to me? Flying Fish probably doesn't have to worry about repeat customers. There will always be a steady stream of patrons during Wellfleet summers. That said, it's too bad. They should strive to do better. If you are looking for a nice place to order a coffee and sit, this might be your place. If you are looking for good food or good service, I agree with other reviewers: Go elsewhere. Too bad. Flying Fish has potential. Oh, and also, there were two of us, not one as the receipt says. read more

Wow doesn't describe the 5 Star plus restaurant. I didn't have my phone to take pictures of our food. The fish and food is fresh. It reminds me of SF, Boston and NYC quality of food. I would stay forever here in Wellfleet to eat our way around the menu. Trust me this is a Diners Drive in and Dives find but minu the Guy Fieri filming. If you live out on the Cape support local. read more

Flying Fish Cafe & Deli - Croissant egg sandwich with bacon and home potatoes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

July 2023, Charming place outside with lots of tables with umbrellas to protect you from the sun and rain, the inside was ok. They do have a parking lot on the side of the building. We sat outside and ordered breakfast. My friend ordered two eggs, home fries, crispy bacon and toast along with a Short Stack of Pancakes. When the Pancakes arrived they were not fully cooked, so she sent them back, and they brought us a new stack. Our Server did give us a reduction in the bill because of the Pancakes which was a nice gesture in my opinion. I ordered one Poached Egg, and coffee. I didn't care for the egg because it was not soft inside and it tasted like it was boiled in Vinegar. Plus, Instead of putting the egg inside a cup, so it would be easier to eat they just placed it on a plate. All and all, I am sure lunch is better. read more

The food and service was amazing. We sat on the outside patio. I had the bagel plate, my husband had the Mediterranean omelet... so delicious. read more

I found it to be extremely expensive. 4 breakfast (2 children 2 adults) was over 100.00. The food was ok, not special. 5.00 for a thimble of fruit. Will not return. Staff was wonderful! Nice location read more

Came here to get a little work done while my mother and sister got some shopping in. Very serviceable. Had myself a nice almond milk chai..not amazing but not bad. A lot of outdoor seating is available. I can't comment on the food, but it is a nice place to sit and get some work done. read more

Oh my, my... Let's begin. As my mother and I walked up to this restaurant, my first impression was that it was adorable. They had plenty of chairs and benches to sit at and wait for a table. There were notes laminated to them saying something to the effect- " if your food is to go, please do not eat here". Meanwhile, about 5 people were, but it is neither here nor there. I went inside to ask if there was indoor and outdoor seating, and, who I am guessing is the manager, said no indoor, and it would be about 10 minutes for a table. No problem! 10 minutes later we are sitting at our table, a few more, we place our drink order. Meanwhile, no staff is to be seen and a table with an umbrella blows onto people, some help comes out to take (Today is a stormy day). Maybe 10/ 15 minutes later we get our drinks and place our order. Looking around, there are 6 tables- with one about to leave, and the rest have no food. At this point the staff when they poke out the side door look frazzled, the manger peaks around, but isn't doing anything, the to-go window is busy-and we finally decided to leave money for our drinks and leave, we had been waiting about 40 minutes for our food, and It clearly would have been another 20 minutes if we were lucky -to get our meals and didn't want to waste our day. It was the most disorganized, mess. I know we made the right choice with leaving when we did. They were focusing on their " to go" window, and even then, people were waiting around for ages. A party of 2 and one person would get there's, then need to sit around another 10/15 for the other! No warm vibe, just chaos, and the staff hiding inside as much as possible. read more

Coffee and baked goods are fine, but I would look somewhere else for a sit-down breakfast. Omelettes and bagels were just ok.

Meh. Just meh. There are not a lot of places to eat in Wellfleet, but if you aren't up to dealing with the hustle of P'Town, this place is an ok alternative. If you're up for the action of P'Town, definitely go there. read more

Great place and food. Had their social distancing in place. However, since we were a group of 5, we chose to seat in a place away from their main floor since they didn't have tables for 5 and joining two tables didn't seem right, but because of that it seemed like the host forgot about us. There were tables that came after us whose food arrived before our order was taken. Kinda disappointed on that front but overlooking it because of covid situation. Hopefully they will improve. Otherwise the food was amazingggg! read more

Great place in Wellfleet. Nice servers and they graciously let me charge my phone. Greek salad was good. Went again for breakfast and had the eggs Florentine. It was English muffins (could have toasted more - some leaves of fresh baby spinach, poached eggs and a sort of Hollandaise sauce. I would have preferred plenty of cooked spinach and real hollandaise. The potatoes were pre boiled which I liked with tons of I guess paprika. Everything could have used more seasoning- tons more..... and the service was good like the first time. Lovely outdoor sitting area. read more

Over priced for the smallest portions ever. Would only recommend the coffee but that too is over priced

A classic that never goes out of style. Their outdoor window service is perfect for the pandemic, as is the plentiful outside seating if you want waiter/waitress service. Don't sleep on the Dirt Bombs and Cinnamon Buns (literally don't sleep - they sell out early). But all the baked goods are amazing. read more

Tasty food, wonderful latte. Extremely friendly staff. Great place. I'd definitely visit again if back in the area

I have always loved and supported Flying Fish. As a year round resident I believe it's doubly important to support local businesses. That being said, my partner and I went there last week and did not have, what we expected to be, a delicious meal, etc. First, we waited a really long time until someone approached us about getting a table. There were two servers looking fairly busy and a bartender who saw us but made no effort to do anything (who wasn't doing much). The things that were unusual/unsatisfactory were: salads took 45 minutes, the bruschetta 'pizza' was missing two of the listed ingredients. herbs and capers, what was on it was very sparse, and the crust was way over cooked. Our server was very nice but we barely saw her and she seemed stretched thin, who seemed to be working both outside and in. Overall, just not good. Sorry. read more

Yummy! if you like a casual atmosphere, really good everything-from-scratch food, then here's a place to go on the lower Cape. Not a fried clam shack, but a place for a rainy-day breakfast, a sandwich or pizza lunch or a casual dinner. I get takeout from here - breakfast twice a week and lunch maybe once a week. It's rustic, small and gets crowded. The parking lot fits about a dozen cars - fewer if trucks/SUV's from CT are parking. It is a 1/2 block off Main Street in Wellfleet but the side street offers no parking so that's the only con for me. Otherwise, the sandwiches are priced appropriately for the area, made to fill you up with a choice of delicous breads.I'm partial to the turkey club on rustica bread. Personally, I think their forte is breakfast and baking (Wildflour Bakery is on premises) with great pancakes, real maple syrup, bagel and the best breakfast takeaway item around - croissants. Ham & cheese with- was that a touch of caremelized onion? Naughty baker! Spinach and feta, almond, chocolate, even plain are all absolutely delicious. Last week I had a cranberry scone (crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside) the size of my head with a perfectly made cafe mocha - my endorphins were flying for the day! Inside dining room fits about 16'ish I would guess, with a small bar in the dining area. The takeout area is where you first walk in, presumably because who can walk past the display case of lovely pastries and cakes and not order dessert?? Sit outside on the patio right on Briar Lane, there are about 6 wrought iron tables surrounded by greenery, have breakfast or lunch and relax, it's that kind of place. This time of year (Fall) there' s room to park, room to sit anywhere and best of all I understand the coffee/bakery counter will stay open well past Columbus Day probably until the end of the year but don't take that as word to wait. Just go and nosh. read more

Picking up coffee and a muffin is a better option than waiting for slow table service. I'd heard this was a great breakfast place, but having experienced it, I'm not so sure. I've had much better breakfasts on the Cape. When I asked for the check, I was given a handheld card reader with no breakout, which is odd given the rather inflated amount I was expected to and did pay. Throughout the whole experience, the waitress didn't seem to have a handle on things - service was quite slow. Home fries were barely cooked, the waitress seemed surprised that we'd ask for them to be cooked a little more. Omelets were good not great. This place is busy - the parking lot is filled to the gunnels, so maybe other folks like the place more than me. read more

Food is good, baked items look amazing, prices are OK, service needs improvement. Four of us stopped in on a Saturday and it appeared that only one girl was working....and it was busy! The ordering process wasn't clear at first and we suffered a 15 minutes time loss because of that. Long story short, grab a table outside, menus are on the tables, head back in to order and pay, they'll bring the food to you when it's ready. So, they serve the food, but it's not formal wait service. The rustica bread looked great and I regretted getting my tuna on a wrap after the fact. The burger looked delicious as well. Fries were served piping hot but weren't house made. They do have self serve water outside. Indoor facilities looked "clean enough" for such a busy place but the bathroom is disgusting. The takeaway: if you're in the area and looking for an informal, decent lunch, coffee or sweet treat, Flying Fish will do you well. read more
