    Persian Breakfast

    This place was awesome. Cool service, great vibes and the food was one of the most unique and good breakfasts I've had.

    Gyro
    Niamh M.

    Overall a bit pricey for what it is! The food was tasty, but would expect a bit more for what we paid. I got the gyro with chicken, was very fresh and the pita was delicious. Chicken was a bit bland but the sauce good. Also tied a cortado! A bit too much milk for my liking, more like a cappuccino!

    Matcha Latte

    We popped into the Lemon Press while on Nantucket, and it's such a cute, vibey spot! Coffee was very good. Matcha was a little grainy but otherwise tasted good! Fun spot to check out while in town!

    Lemon Press is a lively place to have lunch. The service is quick and friendly. I had the gyro which was stuffed with gyro style lamb along with a zesty sauce. The cafe has an upscale feel as you would expect but the prices were reasonable for the island. It is located on a Main Street so access is very easy.

    Strolled into Lemon Press on Main Street and hit the perfect rhythm for a relaxed yet elevated breakfast session. We settled at the bar quick, seamless seating (no fuss) and the vibe was effortlessly cool and welcoming. They were only 15 minutes from closing and we didn't realize but they were super quick to ask us what to order and also give us recommendations so we could get food on time before they closed then they didn't rush us at all. Started with a strawberry smoothie and their "Vibrancy" cold-pressed juice -- both vibrant in flavor tasted great and refreshing after travel. We shared the hummus plate (generous quantity, fresh pita, clean flavors) which paired really well with our drinks. Everything arrived looking crisp, colorful, and just as good taste-wise as it looked. The space itself is full of character: the café is bright, brick-lined, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of natural light and a modern yet cozy aesthetic. Being in the heart of downtown makes it the ideal spot for a destination breakfast or a casual cafe. Easy to pair with a morning walk, errands, or just a laid back place to hang and catch up with family/ friends, date etc. What really stood out: the consistency. From drink quality to food presentation to the seating experience, it all delivered. If I had to nitpick, I might say the bar seating can feel a little communal (not as private) but for the kind of visit we had it was perfectly suited. If you're headed to Nantucket and want a spot that's a notch above your average café with refreshing beverages, thoughtful plates, solid location Lemon Press is definitely on the list of go to spots to check out

    Build your own açaí bowl

    Cute brunch spot. Love the vibe inside and the servers are knowledgeable and friendly. I had the açaí bowl and it was delicious! Their juices taste refreshing and fresh. Will return and highly recommend.

    brown cinnamon latte
    Anushka M.

    Was excited to try Lemon Press after seeing a lot of hype on social media. I tried the brown cinnamon latte, while others in my group got the detox latte, and matchas. My latte was ok, it wasn't as sweet as I usually like, but I tried a sip of the detox latte which was really good and sweet! It has charcoal in it which makes it look completely black, but it was good. The matcha wasn't bad, but I'm typically not a matcha person. The inside is really well decorated, and it's definitely a cute spot for coffee!

    Avocado toast, DELICIOUS

    Absolutely phenomenal. Grab a seat at the bar if the line is long, grab a juice, and enjoy!

    Ambiance 4/5 Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Breakfast Sandwich - very good and would order again. Confit Duck Hash - I would highly NOT recommend. Unseasoned with an unimpressive presentation. I couldn't finish because it was so bland. Clean Green Juice - was curious, but wasn't impressed. Healthy and as expected. I just needed to sneak in veggies this day. The Bees Knees - definitely the yummiest coffee I had all year.

    Very popular and loud place!! The bar area outdoors is lovely with the garden decor and lights…read morestrung around. There were SO many people here; looked like a college crowd. The food was delicious and expensive. We had the asparagus salad and summer salad. Both were delicious and fresh. Steak frites were delicious and the serving size was decent. Duck carnitas was the hit! The duck was delicious and tender. The toppings (pickled onions, pickled veggies, salsa) with the corn tortillas were just right. You prep your own tacos with all the fillings. This was our favorite and we enjoyed the unique concept to use duck! It was an expensive meal but worth it! Service was great. I took more photos but realized they were quite blurry due to it being dark out and I didn't give my phone enough time to capture the photo. I wanted to eat!!! I would definitely come again.

This being 1:00 pm too. Or, The Whale boasts a great wait staff who are accommodating and professional, as well as being just plain nice. A very clean establishment. We started with the crudités as an appetizer, and we both had the asparagus salad as our lunch - to die for! Very, very good! Priced nicely, and no negatives whatsoever. This place is always packed for dinner, so we were glad that on a Wednesday we were able to waltz in for luncheon. A must do when on island.

    I know, it's closed. Closed in October of '24…read more I had breakfast there with my friends from the Nantucket Amateur Radio Association in June '24; a weekly occurrence on Tuesdays with this radio gang. A great breakfast. Old school. Diner-style grill restaurant. Everything was made to order and they offered very good and complicated breakfasts: avocados, lobster, and poached this that and the other. We heard about the doughnuts. Never had one. In September of '24 the Inky reported that the Downyflake was to permanently close. So we made a day trip just to try the doughnuts. In fact, we did this in October the weekend before they closed. Off of Straight Wharf, a taxi ride out, bought a few doughnuts, uber'ed back to town, got some coffee from The Hub, and walked and sat on our bench on Easy Street over looking the Wharf Rat Club. Heaven. Everyone should experience Nantucket. I will say, we were lucky and happy to experience the doughnuts. The doughnuts, yes, are still sticking to my ribs a year later. More oil than the Exxon Valdez. We will miss you old friend. Even though the rumor is a new one will open... someday.

My sister who has lived on ACK for 30+ years loves their doughnuts - and yes they are VERY good. My favs are the chocolate frosted and the apple cider (in season). These really are small doughnuts - so you can eat 2 without too much guilt. I was craving some linguica sausage - I grew up eating it on pizzas and breakfast sandwiches in the summer in New Beford, MA. I saw that the menu had breakfast sandwiches (with your choice of meat) - Unfortunately they waitress informed me that linguica was not an option on this sandwich - which it really should be!. I opted for a side of the linguini and a english muffin to craft my own sandwich (AND - Bonus to save room for a doughnut or 2) It was tasty - but not the linguica of my childhood that oozed red grease, this one was pretty lean and more dense than I remember. I still ate every bite. The highlight was the doughnut dessert, these have not changed in 20 years.

This spot is definitely worth a visit.

    After reading the other one-star review, I don't expect this review will get a response either…read more However, I'm posting it so other people are aware and hopefully don't end up in the same situation. I have been trying for almost a year to contact The Club Car about an experience I had. I have called multiple times, left messages, and emailed, but I have never received a response. I made reservations at The Club Car's sister restaurant, Nantucket Tap Room. My confirmation text said my reservation was at The Club Car, so I called right away. I was told not to worry because they are sister restaurants and the confirmation "just said The Club Car." On the day of our reservation, I called the Tap Room just to confirm. That's when I was told I did not have a reservation there and that it was actually at The Club Car. Thankfully, the manager was able to get us a table at the Tap Room. When we arrived, I asked the hostess if The Club Car had been notified, and she assured me the reservation had been canceled. I had a wonderful dinner with my husband and son. We spent well over $400 and left very happy. Then I received my credit card statement and saw a $75 no-show charge from The Club Car. I immediately called and was told a manager would contact me. No one ever did. Nearly a year later, after multiple phone calls, voicemails, and emails requesting a refund, I still have not received a single response. The reservation mix-up was frustrating, but what has been even more disappointing is the complete lack of customer service afterward. I understand that mistakes happen, but charging a customer a no-show fee after your own staff assured them everything had been taken care of, then ignoring every attempt to resolve it for almost a year, is unacceptable.
