I had visited a number of years ago I realized, and it looks largely the same, like a cozy surf shop within a café including merchandise and zesty decorations around. It's popular and can get cramped with everyone waiting, so there's also an outdoor patio kind of seating area too. The entrance is an unassuming storefront on the main street of Gloucester and down a set of stairs. I had to order the special golden hour latte, a sublime mix of vanilla, cinnamon, and honey flavors with vanilla cold foam. It was one of the best lattes I've had in a while! To eat I had the avocado bacon bagel, a wonderful menu item that hit the spot. Everyone there is very nice. Castaways is a memorable breakfast place, for sure worth visiting if you're in the area during the morning and early afternoon.

Sit at the counter, mull over the menu with a fresh cup, and watch the day go by from the window. I love that the kitchen and dining room are staffed by the two sisters. This is the kind of place that the patrons and staff are on first name basis. Sure, you'll get visitors like me but this place is mostly locals. My favorite quirk is the Portuguese sausage - linguica; all the way in Gloucester? Count me in. Is every dish executed perfectly? Certainly not. But you can taste the love and care in every dish.

This was a spur of the moment find on our way to Hammond Castle (also well worth a visit). We were…read morehangry and looking for breakfast-ish options and Source Bakery more than hit the spot. Their menu is centered around the almighty biscuit - biscuits/scones are one of my favorite ways to inhale carbs but they can run on the too bread-y side of the spectrum. These were fantastic: delicate crumb, beautiful golden color, and sturdy enough to hold in all the sandwich fillings. I went with the classic breakfast egg sandwich (scrambled egg, cheese, and arugula) and added sausage. This was one of those rare situations where the bread vehicle outshined the fillings. The egg, while nice and fluffy (and tasted like real egg instead of the diluted mix I've had elsewhere), could have used some more seasoning and was begging for a healthy dollop of ketchup or hot sauce. The only thing that came through strongly was the salt crystals on the top of the biscuit. Tried a bite of my husband's chicken salad on a cheddar/onion biscuit and had the same reaction - the biscuit overpowered everything else. Not that I'm complaining. The bakery is on a side street off the busier, more touristy Rogers Street. I had this idea too late but next time I'm in Gloucester, I'd take a biscuit sandwich to the beach area along Western Ave. The cafe itself is very, very cute, with little nooks and crannies everywhere for seating and even a comfy looking couch. Bathroom was clean. We found a parking lot one street over in the other direction.
