Wow. Am I dreaming. It's quiet, soft music, museum quality artwork, friendly service. Now the food: My Brooklyn boy husband said the bagel and smoked salmon was thick sliced and amazing. I was so happy with my fresh roasted coffee and the grilled Brie sandwich. read more

Delicious lunch that hit the spot-I had the half lentil salad and half mango chicken salad. So good!

After an ownership change within the past couple years, Little House no longer gives off the welcoming to and staying in someone's house type of vibe. However, their food for the most part remains among the most consistent on the island. In a few cases, serving size has now returned to pre-pandemic norms. I tend to enjoy the squash salad or chicken kebabs the most. The spaghetti with meatballs has also recently emerged as a new favorite, with an especially generous portion size. Desserts are a special treat. I feel the brief spin-off into a separate "Little House Bakery" was ill-advised, but they seem to have refocused on in-house offerings at this point. The ginger cake or scones in particular are generally not to be missed. Pandemic trends made them pivot to takeout with regularity, and they seem to still be holding with that routine at this late fall 22 point in time. Nonetheless, a step inside the restaurant for a hearty and social meal is also still worth your time and effort. read more

Our favorite restaurant on the island. Their Maple Butternut Squash Salad, a side of their chicken shawarma and the powerhouse salad were all out of this world! I wish I loved closer, this would be a spot I would frequent often! read more

I don't give out 5 stars often. I feel there's always room for improvement. However, I couldn't think of anything that they could do better. We had a perfect breakfast. Service was excellent and on point. Six of us ordered a mix of coffees. Oat milk latte, decaf cappuccino whole milk, teas and others. Everything was perfect. Food was served hot and promptly. Everyone had a great experience. Can't wait to try their lunches. Cute cottage setting Very intimate. read more

A little hidden gem on Martha's Vineyard... you could pass this spot and even miss it since the entrance is in the back of the restaurant. However, once you find it you will definitely go back and never miss it again. The service and food are top notch along with a variety of dishes, sides, drinks and desserts to choose from and remember! I am already looking forward to my next meal there before I leave island or when I return. read more

Super cute and charming place. I was very happy they had turkey bacon. The breakfast BLT and breakfast sandwich were both really good. The bagels are homemade fresh! The potatoes were nicely seasoned with garlic. The service was a little slow but friendly. We loved this place! read more

My wife and I went for lunch on Wednesday and had their curried chicken salad and their Nicoise salad. Both were excellent. So we went back on Thursday morning for breakfast. We both wound up ordering the breakfast wrap - scrambled eggs with arugula, pickled red onions, chopped tomatoes, chèvre and harissa aioli. Outstanding. Will definitely go back again the next time we go to MV. read more

1. THEY NO LONGER HAVE PANCAKES ON THE MENU haha so multiple groups ( including ours ) came in for the pancakes we saw in their photos but they no longer serve them here. 2. The food and quality of the food is delicious! Freshest sautéed spinach I've ever had. 4/5 breakfast experience. They have dine in and picnic tables outside. 3. Good service and clean place 4. Would recommend for single, couples, and small groups. We loved the breakfast sandwich (~$11) and green breakfast (~$11) read more

Three of us enjoyed a healthy, satisfying dinner, my kind of dinner. Our starter, the veggie and hummus plate, held no interest for me until it was set on the table. It keeps you happy while you wait, even if you're already happy. My order was a fresh and delicious feta salad with a side of six falafel. The falafel, denser than I'm used to, with smaller bites and yummy dip was the perfect accompaniment for my Greek salad. And I helped my tiny 93 yo friend with her falafel, too. No shame. My other friend ordered a burger. Will return for sure. The ambience was warm and welcoming, more than photos show. Same goes for the service, especially with answers to our questions. I'll be back. read more

The falafel wrap is the best on island! Yummy yummy breakfast! Small and very busy in the summer with extremely limited parking, so ordering to go is a good idea. read more

Ordered the lamb burger. I'm allergic to eggplant. The menu online did not say it had eggplant. When I showed up to mention the allergy, one of the servers stated that the physicals menu was no different than the online menu and that the eggplant was listed. I proceeded to show a different server that no eggplant was listed on either menu who actually read the menu and understood the issue that the eggplant was not written anywhere. It's very disappointing to order something and not get what you want. But it's worse when a restaurant makes you think you can't read... read more

Acutely mediocre. Menu has some nice ideas, but comically overpriced and not great. The basic breakfast (eggs, spinach, toast, avocado) came with overcooked eggs and brown avocado for $16.50. Coffee was very shaky. read more

Oasis! Delicious Saturday breakfast and a wonderful dirty chai tumeric latte. Great server as well

Awesome little spot right outside downtown Vineyard Haven. Quick service, attentive wait staff, and delicious food. I had the caprese sandwich and it hit the spot. Will definitely return! read more

Food is awesome, service is amazing. It's so cute in the place too!! I 100% recommend coming here

I love this place. It's small and friendly and I have never had to wait for a table. Last time I was there I just ordered a fresh fruit cup for breakfast and it was surprising for its lack of melon! I can't remember ever ordering a fruit cup and not finding it packed with cantaloupe and honeydew melon. This one was just grapes blueberries and strawberries. I think when I get right down to it that might be an upgrade on the standard version. Good coffee too read more

This place is indeed little. It is also small: it shuts down for an hour between breakfast and lunch. It's clear that the staff DO NOT care about your experience. They just don't. This is one of the things I despise. They'll actually turn people away if they're about to take their 1 hr transition from breakfast to lunch, even though their hours say "open". It happened to us. We bought a baked pastry of some kind. It tasted old and was stale. We threw the crumbly mess out after a bite. We may go back if we are able to time it just right and accommodate their hours. Ha. I'm kidding. We won't. You shouldn't either. There are so many much better options. read more

Everything! Food is fresh and lovely. Service attentive and not intrusive. Excellent choices.

The staff isn't friendly, borderline racist and homophobic. They told us we needed to sit outside with no warning when our food was complete. We as a group were very respectful and polite in there establishment. As a group or (4) we spent about $150 on lunch. That was just salads and sandwiches. Which in its self is ridicules. We eat out everyday for lunch but we will not return to this place, as they clearly don't care about your experience. If you are of a different race or gay don't expect to be treated with equality read more

The lentil salad is super terrifically wonderful! So is the chicken salad--both light and flavorful. Both are the best I've ever eaten. The people are both lovely and extremely competent. Total yum!!!! read more

I have ordered their chicken shawarma in the past. I tried to order for 2 days! The first day no one answered the phone so I drove over there only to be met with a sign on the door that read they were closed that day until 4 pm. Google maps said open. On the next day because I really wanted my husband to try the schwarma we halted our pickle ball game so that we could order from "The Little House Cafe". When I called....at 1:00 they were out of chicken. At this point we are hungry so I asked, what are some recommendations! My husband ordered the falafel wrap and me I ordered the lamb burger. Both were disgusting!!!!! My husband is pretty laid back. He took one bite of the wrap and walked it to the trash can. He said he'd never had falafel that chewy. So I started my lamb burger..... Let me say This, it was the Worst food I've had on MV in many years. I will Never Go Back!! read more

We went in for a late lunch. We were greeted by the hostess and were seated right away. This place is a nice,cozy space where you can enjoy some fresh food. We got their lentil salad and fish taco. Both dishes were full of fresh ingredients and very tasty. The fish tacos in particular were loaded with avocado, slaw a nice creamy sauce. The fish was perfectly fried. Not too oily nor too raw! They had some really good vegetarian options as well and their coffee and tea menu looked good too. Overall the food and experience was amazing. The staff was friendly and polite. Next time we are on the island, we will definitely give this place another visit. read more

I had been meaning to try this spot- went for lunch- and it did not disappoint! The chicken swarms sandwich was delicious! My friend had fish tacos that she really enjoyed. They have picnic tables outside, but that is carry out only. Wish they had table service outside. I will definitely go back. The in house baked goods looked tempting as well. read more

Everything here is always so fresh and delicious and the service is great too. Also much quieter and less touristy and busy than Art Cliff, or Black Dog or most others in Vineyard Haven. Especially recommend the Scones, Green Breakfast, Breakfast Wrap (hold the wrap and on a salad!), also the fish tacos too! But really you can't go wrong because everything is made to order with fresh ingredients and lots of love. read more

This favorite restaurant has served the island for many years. A recrnt ownership change has not changed the quality at all. Great food, Great staff! Nice setting! Highly recommend this island gem! read more

Great Lentil salad. Extraordinary kale soup. Have also enjoyed their lamb burger very much. The shoulder season offers quiet dining which makes for a pleasant ambience. The service is consistently good. Pricing is fair for the Vineyard. The only negative thing I can say is they should drop the beef "tenderloin" from the menu. It was anything but tender. Essentially all gristle and fat. Couldn't cut it with a steak knife. Impossible to chew. read more

4.5 stars We had lamb burger, fish tacos, lentils salad, pasta and meatballs. The only complaint for me is that the dressing on the lentil salad is a bit too sweet. read more

The food is good, the ambiance is bright and cheerful, and the space is very inviting! There's a parking lot located in the back, so you don't have to fret about where to park, and there's a WHEELCHAIR RAMP to the entrance (which is from the rear of the building). I didn't use the bathroom while I was there, so I didn't check the wheelchair access there, but you can at least get your chair inside the restaurant to dine! The food is reasonably-priced by Martha's Vineyard standards, which is to say that prices for entrees range from $20-28...very affordable on an island where most other restaurants are more in the $30-40 range!! And the quality of the food is right at the top, too, with fresh ingredients put together in flavorful combinations and healthy serving sizes...this is a restaurant where you can just order an entree and still feel very full at the end of your dinner! I ordered the Pan Seared Cod with a summer salad of corn, haricot vert (that's "green beans" for us heathens!!!) and roasted tomatoes, with crispy bacon underneath and green goddess dressing, served over mashed potatoes...I asked for the dressing on the side, because it's a garlicky one, and I avoid garlic. Even without any sauce, the dish was absolutely delicious: The fish was perfectly cooked, flaky, tender, well-seasoned...and the mashed potatoes were just what my brain was craving when it first processed the words "mashed potatoes"!!! The beans, corn and tomatoes really gave the dish a very fresh, light, summery flavor, and the bacon offered an irresistible salty crunch! This is a well-balanced dish!! My parents both ordered the Red Thai Curry Chicken Kebabs, served with vegetables simmered in coconut lime sauce on jasmine rice pilaf. They've had it before and always enjoy it, since the curry is mild and the flavor is well-developed! Even my baby niece enjoyed sharing some of this dish!! My partner scarfed down the Greek-style Lamb Burger with fresh herbs, on a bun with tomato, grilled eggplant and tzatziki sauce, served with a classic Greek salad on the side. He tossed the tomato and eggplant to the side, as is his preference, but no other morsel was left when he was done!!! I ordered a glass of the prosecco ($12) and found it to be a lovely pairing with my fish. Most of the other by-the-glass wine options were less expensive, too, which was a nice surprise! The only downside to our visit was that our blonde, female server was on the grumpy side and kept reminding us that they had a large party coming in an hour and a half after we sat down, so they needed us to vacate our table by then. In fact, when my partner ordered that lamb burger, this nudgy server informed him that she'd "have to check" if that was okay, because the lamb burger takes a little longer to make than the other dishes we'd ordered, and after all, they needed us to leave in an hour and a half! Um, really? Lady, how much longer do you think it takes to cook that lamb burger????? Overall, though, the rest of the service was fine, and every other employee was friendly and helpful, so I'll definitely be back to this restaurant! If you're on Martha's Vineyard and want a relatively quiet, intimate, comfortable dinner of slightly-upscale, good food at affordable prices, you should absolutely check out Little House!!! read more

Such a gem! I had the curry chicken salad and it was delicious! Definitely recommend. Only downfall is you have to eat inside, unless you take it as "carry-out". read more

Nice location, good food and friendly service. The falafel is always great, and for breakfast the Brie sandwich is fantastic.

Green breakfast with a side of pancakes = DELICIOUSNESS! How they mamaged to cook everything to perfection is beyond me. Spinach was garlicky without grease. Eggs were fluffy without the slightest burn. Avocado was peak ripeness and the toast was grainy, nutty, toasty, and yet moist. And the pancakes, oh the pancakes. Evenly brown, soft, fluffy, and just slightly sweet. Add a touch of real maple syrup and smile. Minus a star for mediocre coffee and a server who didn't pay attention to detail even after asking for a second time. Worth the stop. read more

After staying 3 nights already on the island, I was determined to find a decent place for food!! I'm so happy I found this cute little place away from the busy marina. Thanks fellow Yelpers. I ordered 2 eggs, sausage and toast. $8 That is cheaper than any other diners I have been to in the last few days. It is also much tastier, the toast is great, lots of whole grains and the blueberry jam is delicious. Eggs perfectly fried. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star is bc the coffee is not strong at all, but I think there is no strong coffee in the entire island. This will be my breakfast place when I'm back in the future! read more

Little House Cafe - Two eggs and toast, sausage a bit cheaper than at touristy places! - Mediterranean Near Me - Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts

Limited options for breakfast...decor needs to be updated. Bagels are homemade? Not appetizing at the entrance. Staff are kind and pleasant.

Drinks were good. Meals were okay. The seating is hard picnic benches. The staff could be a bit friendlier. They were rude to my family multiple times. If you're looking for a quick bite this will suffice. We were pretty hungry and tired and needed some comfort. This didn't quite hit the spot, but due to Covid not much was available. Also there are NO BATHROOMS and no sanitizer at tables. There are no waiters either. Pretty bare bones self service. read more

A great little place that really seems to care about their impact on the world around them. They have a selection of GF, vegan & vegetarian options. We had the Sesame Noodle Salad with chicken (not so much a salad as a noodle bowl-there were 3 julienned red pepper strips, a few pieces of finely shredded carrots & a few scallions-so don't expect many veggies). It was flavorful and the chicken plentiful. I would have liked more veggies however. The Classic Falafel was good and as expected. The Roast Turkey Sandwich was yummy & filling. The only thought is that the multigrain roll was a bit overpowering to the whole of the sandwich but delicious nonetheless. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This restaurant is a jewel in every way. The staff offered welcoming and prompt service. I am vegan and they were so knowledgeable and accommodating about preparing almost anything for me. I had the Gado Gado on a bed of quinoa with tofu. It was filling and delicious. The fish taco was also enjoyed by my sister. I highly recommend this restaurant and it has parking! read more

Little House Cafe - Gado Gado prepared vegan. Beautiful presentation! And so delicious! - Mediterranean Near Me - Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts

For years this was my all-time favorite go-to spot for the "famous" fish tacos. Yesterday's meal was a real disappointment. Soggy fried fish, tasteless sauce, and a taco that fell apart as soon as it was lifted off the plate. I love this place and the awesome staff and hope to give the tacos another go. read more

Little House Cafe is great homey spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on State Road in Vineyard Haven that feels off the beaten path and is a welcome respite from the tired restaurants of Main Street. A huge and creative home-cooked menu, incredible desserts, and interesting beer selection made me come back twice over a three day visit to the island. For our lunch visit, we enjoyed the fresh coffee, butternut squash salad, and roasted turkey sandwich (served atop fresh homemade bread). The highlight was the curried mango chicken salad - a must try! For dinner, we had the gulf shrimp tacos - a good portion size, but as other reviewers mentioned missed the mark on flavor - perhaps they needed some sort of hot sauce to give them more of a memorable kick. The ingredients were fresh, with avocado and shrimp piled high, but not much flavor. The real winner was the dessert. Go for the amazing ice cream cookie sandwiches. Two large warm homemade cookies with ice cream - seems like a classic idea, but this dessert really knocked our socks off. The cookies were so fresh and made for the perfect conclusion to the evening. I would come here for dessert alone honestly. The menu had a quirky selection of bottled beers with a few local brews and a few from Germany - a nice touch. As a visitor to Vineyard Haven for over 10 years, I am shocked that I had never noticed this small cafe, but am excited to return next year. The interior is on the small size, with about 10 tables with a to-go window when you walk in. Parking is available in the rear. I imagine this place has a wait in the peak season. read more
