My mom and I stopped by on our first morning in Bean & Leaf and grabbed coffees to start our day of exploring Cape Ann. My iced americano was perfect. Unfortunately, they're having issues with staffing, and when we stopped by the next morning, there was a sign on the door that said they had to close unexpectedly due to staffing issues. If they can get the staffing issues ironed out, it would be the perfect little coffeeshop for any visitors to Rockport to visit!

"Same restaurant, different owners."…read more Visiting Rockport is always a beautiful and memorable time. From shopping to dining and Oceanside views, you will enjoy what this magnificent town has to offer. This was our first time here and although with its new owners much hasn't changed, at least that's what we heard. The restaurant is quite small but cute! We sat at the bar before being brought to our table. We shared their Prosciutto board which to my surprise was quite large for 2, but I surely wasn't complaining. It was delicious! For entrees, I ordered their Swordfish which was good but on the salty side. Hubby had their Chicken under the brick, a bit dry and unflavored but not bad. We decided to pass on dessert and head next door for Gelato. I wasn't super impressed with this restaurant but would give it another shot if I could!

Looks like they are generally open 9am-6pm daily, sometime early May through year end. Order at the counter inside their little shop, pay, and head down the little alley (hold on tightly to your stuff so you don't accidentally drop anything enroute) to their back deck with limited seating, and access to their bathrooms. Listen up for your name and they will bring you your food on a tray. A family of three shared the 3 chicken lobsters for $50 during the 2025 season, and a dozen raw oysters for $30. My single lobster was $18. Single oysters $3 apiece. Creamy clam chowder $7. Stuffed clam $3. The $30 cold lobster roll came with cole slaw and a bag of chips. The hot dog roll looked small but was well filled with fresh sweet lobster meat. Her smoked salmon $8 were two thick chunks of fish. My hot in-shell boiled lobster arrived several minutes after, pre-cracked. Carefully poured out the green water, and I went at it. Making use of the sink by the bathroom afterwards to get cleaned up. A delicious way to start our outing to Rockport! BTW parking in the nearby area is paid and seasonal. Head to the kiosk, enter the license plate, pay an affordable price, and stick the slip on your dashboard. Parking tickets are no fun.

Not Your Ordinary Bistro is directly across from Roy Moore Lobster Co. in Bearskin Neck, Rockport!…read moreI overheard people walking by saying the lemonade tasted really fresh, while I was standing in line to order at Roy Moore. After we finished eating, I couldn't help but stand in line to try their lemonade here! The lemonades are $5.95 a pop & we ordered 3 of them. Tasted GREAT! I did not find it to be too sweet and not too sour, just right. The wait to order was a bit long since there was only one cashier & she was walking back and forth from the kitchen to the pick-up window & back to the ordering window lol. I would get this again & perhaps try their food options!

I just met her, but I felt like I was coming home. I waited for my friend to arrive & a couple bar seats to open up, and there were about two dozen people who came in after me while the wait was predicted to be an hour since most had just been seated, so they left. I wish they waited because it did clear up after about 30-40 minutes, but it was hard to predict on a Thursday at 7:30pm during a random downpour. I would encourage anyone to try The Burn, and to wait if needed. It's updated nicely, a bit cozy yet spacious when you're seated. Jess, our bartender, is also very welcoming and hospitable. I ordered a Gold Rush: ghost tequila, cointreau, pineapple, jalapeño & lime; I recall telling my friend, "this is exactly how I wish all my drinks tasted." I ordered the meatballs appetizer, and they got the haddock sandwich. The fries were excellent, and the meatballs were great. My friend loved their sandwich, fresh local haddock of course.
