    We drive up to Machipango Trading Every time we stay in Cape Charles. They continue to provide the best, freshest sandwiches, coffee, and breakfast items anywhere around. We've pretty much had every coffee drink and breakfast sandwich and many of the lunch items. Cape Charles is generally fairly crowded in the summer so I'd encourage everyone to journey north for made to order menu and EXTREMELY welcoming and friendly service. So nice to see them continue their excellence!

    Sausage Egg Breakfast Croissant
    Jack M.

    Convenient stop for some food and coffee on the drive north from OBX. Sausage egg croissant: Small but pretty good. The croissant was soft and chewy. The sausage was a little dense on the bite but very savoury, the egg was a bit over-executed but did fine.

    This is a great place to stop right off Rt 13. The inside is relatively small but they have some chairs right outside where you could sit and eat or drink your coffee. I've only been here once but this will be a place I stop from now on every time I'm driving up the eastern shore. The drink I got was 10000/10, so good! The people working the day I went were very nice as well.

    Fantastic stop!! This will now be on my must-stop list every time we drive by. Their coffees are amazing and they offer a great variety of snacks and locally made items. I got their lox bagel, which was a bit lacking but the other breakfast sandwiches looked better so I'll grab those next time!

    This is a great local stop that has some good coffee and lots of local items. I had the white chocolate Iced coffee and it was absolutely delicious. The staff there was friendly. They don't have great restroom facilities you're looking for that but everything else is great.

    Cravings - Chicken salad sandwich

    Wow, what a fun little hidden gem. This might be a place that local folks don't want you to know…read moreabout and the business sure doesn't need my help. The fact that they sell out so quickly every-single-day is a testament on their own. Everything I learned about this place was hear-say so take it with a grain of salt but their food does speak for itself (which I did in fact get a chance to try). First of all, they have a number of sandwiches that are pre-made and to my understanding, there's no customization. From what I can tell, they come on white bread (I think?), croissant, and focaccia but if you know me or my reviews, then you know I stopped looking once I saw focaccia. They sell out quickly so make sure you get there early enough to land you what you want and it's tucked away and hidden in the back of a really cool store you'll want to give yourself time to shop. And if all of that isn't enough, the sandwiches are themselves are phenomenal. An absolute must-visit and a perfect "take to the beach to be harassed by seagulls" lunch.

There is an opening just outside with some picnic tables. Parking is located on the street. But, you can totally walk there if you wanted, since Cape Charles Main Street area is small and manageable. Service was great. The two younger girls helping me choose items were fantastic. They seemed to care and help They have delicious shortbread offered in various flavors. I have never had coffee flavor before, and that is unique. They also had chocolate chip, cranberry orange, lemon, and original. Those are the flavors I remember. I purchased a peanut butter cookie and that was so good! It had a nice soft center with a slight crispy outer edge. The peanut butter flavor was strong but not over powering. I will definitely be purchasing more flavors in the future. Pair it with a delicious coffee or tea and your set. They offer other baked items and offer a few sandwiches. I have never eaten them, but I have seen them. They look appetizing, and they are jam packed with ingredients. Their hours will fluctuate during different seasons, so be sure to check into their hours before visiting.

    The Hidden Flavor Bomb in a Strip Mall…read more We stumbled upon this place on our way home from North Carolina, and let me just say, do not let the strip mall location fool you. This spot is a flavor-packed gem you do not want to miss. On a random Wednesday night, the place was clean, bustling, and buzzing with satisfied diners. That is always a good sign. The menu is a glorious mashup of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican dishes. If your taste buds had passports, they would get stamped three times just by looking at it. Our server, who was fast, friendly, and clearly knew her stuff, recommended the traditional Puerto Rican platter. Bless her. This plate was a full-on party. The roasted pork was the kind you dream about--tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The traditional rice tasted like a family recipe handed down for generations. Sweet plantains added just the right touch of comfort, and the cabbage salad brought a refreshing contrast. It had tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and a balsamic vinaigrette. If I had one suggestion, I would swap in white balsamic instead of dark. The taste was spot on, but the color made it slightly less visually appealing. Someone else in our group ordered the Cubano sandwich, which came out looking like it could feed two people easily. It was massive. They only made it halfway through. The fries were served in a little basket, hot and crispy, just the way they should be. Best of all, everything was reasonably priced. If you are in the area or passing through, do yourself a favor. Stop in, loosen your belt, and prepare to leave full, happy, and a little surprised that a place this good came out of a humble strip mall.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a whimsical, nautical meets industrial interior. Think exposed brick, quirky elephant and octopus artwork, and cozy seating that feels both inviting and upscale. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your meal and soak in the unique ambiance. As for the food, it did not disappoint. I started with the Ale & Onion Soup, and wow. This was comfort in a bowl! The robust flavor of Guinness melded perfectly with the caramelized onions, and the bubbling gruyère on the toasted bread points just took it over the top. It was savory, rich, and perfect for the chilly day. My friend went for the She Crab Soup, and couldn't stop raving about it. Creamy and absolutely packed with local crab meat. The puffed oyster crackers and a sprinkle of Old Bay were the ultimate finishing touch. I managed to sneak a bite, and it was heavenly! We also asked the bartender for a fun cocktail, and they whipped up a bright, lemony drink that was as refreshing as it was beautiful. It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, served with a citrus twist. Service was great. Friendly, attentive without hovering, and happy to make recommendations. If you're in Cape Charles and looking for a spot that nails both food and atmosphere, you can't go wrong here. Already planning my next visit!
