We discovered this cute boutique a few years ago and have been coming back each summer to get our hands on the latest "Knot Sister" sweaters. At $68 they are a steal and always come in must have colors. The shop has a great collection of dresses, tops, pants, sweaters and accessories. Give them a look! read more

Salt Boutique

Visited Salt during my first visit to Nantucket. The shop is really well done. The collection is a…read morebit more Modern and refined than what you normally find on the island (no Lily Pulitzer here), which was exactly what I was looking for. I purchased two dresses and a bathing suit. I was bummed when I got home and didn't love one of the dresses (didn't try it on in the store). I called and emailed the shop and they got back to me right away saying I could send the dress back and receive a credit to the online shop. This really made my day and I think this type of service at small boutiques is more rare these days.

I buy small stuff and toss it in my knapsack, and for larger items I have those shipped back home. Murray's also has an order online catalog too. Nothing is more representative of ACK than Murray's!

I love the shirts, but they are extremely oversized. I ordered xl for the first two and one of them is in reality an xxxl, while the other one is in reality a xxl. So, for the third shirt, i ordered a large, and it fits perfectly--and I'm getting the first two taken up at my seamstress. The shirts are all gorgeous, with a very durable, hefty fabric, but quite expensive, like all of Castaway's products. I doubt that the inconsistency in sizing is uniform throughout Castaway clothing, but probably confined to their madras clothing, which is made in Chennai (formerly Madras), India, as I have found wild inconsistency in madras shirts from another retailer. I cannot say that for sure, however, as I have no other items from Castaway. Last note: each of my shirts are long-sleeved, and the fabric is so thick they are too hot to wear on a very hot day.

Great soda fountain, with the old school counter feel. They have sandwiches, desserts, and of course, ice cream. The hotdogs are damn good. Will is a great entrepreneur and accommodating host too; just a good egg who can carry a decent conversation. Prices are very good for town too. Busy place. In town, so the foot traffic is heavy. The store is usually packed, and they offer a few local type trinkets and the typical CVS kind of stuff. No negatives whatsoever.

Today was my second attempt to grab breakfast here, despite a bad experience the first time…read more Unfortunately, this visit was even worse. The heavyset African-American lady behind the counter, who prepares the food, had a terrible disposition both times. While I understand that people can have bad days, this was beyond that. On my first visit, she was unpleasant and ignored us. On the second visit, she ignored us for about 8 minutes, despite only two other customers being in the restaurant who had already been served. When I finally placed my order for three Moons Over My Hammy, one Barnyard, and two coffees to go, she reconfirmed my order out loud. Later, she denied this, claiming I only ordered two Moons Over My Hammy. While preparing our order, another customer she seemed to know well walked in. She was immediately pleasant and bubbly with this customer, prioritized their order, and served other guests who arrived after us. Despite waiting 20-30 minutes, we never received our coffees. When I asked the male employee working with her about our order, the lady behind the counter developed a nasty attitude and started behaving oddly. I began to suspect she might be doing something spiteful to our food. When we finally got home and I bit into my sandwich, I found a crumpled piece of paper inside. Horrified, I immediately stopped eating and returned to the store, demanding a complete refund. Shockingly, she told me twice to "go f*** myself." She then acted like a victim, complaining to other guests and claiming the paper was stuck between the cheese. I asked how it could have crumbled itself into such a large piece, but she continued to play the victim. This experience was unacceptable and deeply disappointing. I will never take my business here again and I live on this island during the summer times full time. I can only imagine how much business she has lost this company because I've seen her act this way with certain people that walk in as well that are not to her liking at first sight.

This is the crumbled up piece of paper. I opened up to figure out what was in my mouth.

Hospital Thrift Shop

Where this spot shines is the home goods - wooden duck decoys, brass candlesticks, baskets... if those old types of things are your jam, this is your spot. They also sell: old books, beach chairs, furniture, limited jewelry, coolers, kitchen items from silverware to coffee makers and everything in between. Overall, a Nantucket gem. PS: I turned my back at the register to try on some earrings and answer a question some ladies had about my dress and some tourist took a broach right out of my pile (it was very clear that it was taken). They were sneaky and not the vibe. Don't be that person.

It is full of good, donated product, and has the widest selection of DIFFERENT things that I've seen in a thrift shop. The bottom floor is basically an unfinished basement, with rooms dedicated to certain items, especially furniture. One room was selling used books, and it has as many books as some small libraries. They had local product as well, and my wife picked up a hardly used scarf. The hallways are very tight, allowing only two people to pass when going sideways, and the staircases are one person-at-a-time. No chance for wheelchairs or strollers. Because it is so hard to move around, it was appreciated that each floor had their own cashier. I didn't see any long lines to checkout, and there were volunteers everyone, keeping things running. The prices do seem very knowledgable...you are not going to find any crazy bargains because the 'purchasing' department didn't understand the worth of some products. It is located in a very touristy area, so bargaining attempts by non-residents must happen once in a while. There was a funny sign stating that bargaining was insisted, the pricer would agree to give the discount but first increase the price by the same amount. Hopefully, everybody gets the joke.
