The loveliest breakfast/lunch spot in the Cape! So lovely that my friends and I came here 2 days in a row during our weekend stay in Cape Cod. It was the impeccable flavor of the basil aioli in the California sandwich for me. My friends also said that the Breakfast Burrito and Caprese Sandwich were the best they've ever had, and the smoothies = comforting creamy goodness. The only thing about this place is that they have 2 completely different menus before and after 11am, a rough deadline for a group of ten college students on vacation. I am just sad that we did not stay another day in the Cape to come here again so that I could traverse their extensive grilled cheese menu. Definitely check this place out for scrumptious breakfast and lunch options during your Cape Cod stay! read more

My go to breakfast place. Folks are warm and polite. I'm a regular for the Classic Breakfast . I get scrambled on the eggs, sour dough on the toast and comes with home fries. I dine in early sometimes, and take out a lot. Price is very fair, and if you want a single pancake, as big as your head, you can have it. Consistent quality every time. Homey spot, a gathering place if you will. I'm fussy with breakfast, and return on a regular basis, because they get it right. read more

Cute spot! I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, but since I'm more of a night owl, I was never around during their open hours. However, today I was in town for the Farmer's Market and stopped by after the market here for a tropical smoothie with pineapple, mango and coconut. I liked that the smoothie was not overly sweet and had good flavor. The coconut flakes do contribute a weird consistency which didn't really both me, but I could see others not enjoying this. I thought it was kind of a weird choice of ingredient. Service was quick- spot is a little small and was a bit crowded so I took mine to go and enjoyed while strolling around the main streets. Would definitely stop in again next time I am in the area. Street parking is relatively easy, although you may need to parallel, and free for two hours. read more

I just ate the most amazing chocolate chip cookie that I think I've ever had in my lifetime. I truly am not exaggerating. This cookie was amazing. Adriana made a batch of chocolate chip cookies last night, and I stopped at Rise and Shine, the Pineapple Caper Café, for lunch today. I took two chocolate chip cookies with me as I left. I forgot about them until just now and I just took a bite from one of them. I wanna go back in the morning and buy the rest if there are any left. This cookie tasted like classic Chocolate Chip meets Almond Cloud Now I have to tell you that my all time, three favorite cookies are, in descending order: chocolate chip, almond cloud, and oatmeal raisin. The cookie that I had for my lunch today tasted like an almond cloud was embracing a chocolate chip. If you've never experienced this, stop what you're doing right now and go to "Rise and Shine" "The Pineapple Caper Café" in Osterville, and beg Adriana to make a batch of her amazing cookies. Tell her that Jack sent you and that she owes me another 75-cents for my referral. (I'm trying to build up enough store credit for a free lunch. Or at least I should receive a free cookie, now and then for spreading the good news. What do you think? If you agree, please drop your vote into the "vote for Jack's Free Lunch" Voting canister that I'm going to surreptitiously slip onto their counter tomorrow when I show up at my usual time (two minutes before the grill closes) for my "Brunch" (that's lunch to most of you. But it's brunch for me because I sleep later than you do. Oh, yeah, this is supposed to be a review of the pineapple caper Café so, I will say a few more words. The PCC, now known as "Rise and Shine." is my favorite hangout place on the Cape. Aside from their downright delicious breakfast and lunches every time I go there,, iI meet somebody interesting. Today, in early February, I met an organic farmer from down the road who's got spinach, already coming up in his greenhouses. read more

Great place for a quick visit. The place was a bit messy but it was also almost closing time when I arrived. The food was nice read more

Just popped in today for first visit. only place open. Super friendly staff. Healthy options. Good Bloody Mary, good coffee. My croissant was also delicious. Highly recommend you stop by for a visit read more

Fifth star, activated. Expanded lunch menu includes zesty offerings like the Cuban Caper, a Pilgrim's Pride (turkey, cranberry compote, Brie) and a real vegetal looking Pastrami Caper (meat, root slaw, Swiss on rye). Really giving Village stalwarts like Fancys and Crisp a run for their hot sandwich money. Also, it's been decided PC has the best cold brew in greater Barnstable. By me. I decided that. Muffins are good too, esp if you've got a sweet tooth. And I know you do Karen, even if you ARE a Karen. Eat a muffin. Super friendly staff willing to run a prepaid order- yes, you can order online for pickup - out to your car because your baby's asleep in the back. Love the Caper. read more

This review is long overdue. Sorry in advance for the length. We got married in August 2022 and made the unfortunate decision to go with the Pineapple Caper as our wedding caterer. We assumed that over time, we would just accept the fact that our caterer was a disaster, but looking back nearly a year later, it remains my ONLY regret of our wedding day and the planning (even with several other hiccups on the day, which is to be expected). We decided to go with Pineapple Caper as they were local to our wedding venue and offered a food truck option. It was important to me to go with local vendors to the Cape as much as possible and they came highly recommended by our venue. We hired them for our shower as well, and while I thought the food there was completely bland and underwhelming, it was a small casual shower so it didn't bother me. We worked with Tammy Russell, the owner of the café, on our wedding menu for several months leading up to the event. We wanted a true food truck experience, which we were told was possible since they had one. However, they were completely unprepared for that and should never have offered to serve food in this way. Food trucks always have written menus in some form on the truck. I requested this, and when I was told they didn't have one, I myself (the bride) offered to write up a sign the day before so people would know what their options were. I was assured they would handle it and there would be a menu, and there wasn't. Their only response to this was, "it didn't slow things down or affect the quality of the food". That doesn't matter - your clients that are paying you asked for it, and even offered to do it themselves, and you still didn't do it. We chose to have skewers - with meat, fish, and vegetables (a mix of all 3 on one skewer). This is a pretty common menu item in various places around, and we confirmed it with them several times. However, our guests were served with MEAT (or Fish) ON A STICK. They claimed the veggies had to be separate and their reasoning was that "those items all cook at different speeds so they couldn't grill it and put the skewers together". This was absolutely mortifying to us. If they could not prepare actual skewers, they should not have offered this as a menu item to us. Many guests' skewers were COLD, many were told by Tammy and her husband that they could only have one skewer (even though we paid for at least two each), and my own fish skewer was undercooked and I couldn't eat half of it. The dinner, in general, was abysmal. We also wanted our meal to be entirely gluten free. Myself and several guests have celiac disease, and many others have varying levels of gluten sensitivity. While this was explained to the Pineapple Caper, and the menu agreed upon was entirely gluten free, Tammy chose to add Crab Cakes to the menu. We had no idea this was the case and we are fortunate that none of our guests with celiac disease consumed these, since we told everyone our menu was entirely gluten free. In addition to the food, the beverages at the wedding were a MAJOR issue. We specifically chose a venue that allowed us to purchase our own alcohol and soft drinks and bring it on site, versus having the venue or the caterer purchase it. This was a huge cost savings and we actually enjoyed picking our own drinks and working with liquor stores on the Cape. Tammy told us that we were absolutely welcome to do that, and that they, as the caterers, would even hire bartenders to serve the alcohol that we purchase. However, this too went so poorly and I am completely embarrassed by what happened. First, the non-alcoholic options were not served until AFTER the cocktail hour. The bartenders actually told our guests that their options were only water or alcohol for the cocktail hour (and actually, during our ceremony as well. We have pictures to prove that people were drinking alcohol during the ceremony). My husband brought the non-alcoholic drinks to the venue himself the morning of the wedding. We specifically explained that we had non-alcoholic options to be served during the ceremony and during cocktail hour. We had many guests who were non-drinkers, and we felt very strongly that they had multiple options. The excuse Tammy gave us was that they couldn't find the non-alcoholic options so they just didn't serve them. No one asked us or any member of the bridal party. They just chose to ignore it. This was completely unacceptable. In addition, we had a case of red wine that my husband dropped off to the Pineapple Caper the day before the wedding (along with the other alcohol) and it was never served until AFTER the cocktail hour. One of our bridesmaids realized that there was no red wine being served, and alerted me, the bride, who had to go track Tammy down after the cocktail hour to have her find it. Her excuse was "the red wine was simply an oversight". (Continued in photos) read more

We ordered takeout for a group breakfast and the food was all cooked to perfection. I had a savory breakfast quinoa bowl and it was perfectly seasoned and balanced- it inspired me to want to make this dish at home! read more

I loved this place. Osterville has no better place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. highly recommend.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch while in town. Staff is friendly and food was fresh. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. Such a beautiful and kind lady working the counter. Food looks incredible, we got it to go and it was out so quickly! Day=made !!! read more

Try Amie! The service at Pineapple Caper is slow, the food is over priced ...they benefit from being the only game in town. Take a few minutes and drive to Amie....worth the trip!!! Great ice coffee, breakfast sandwiches and quiche to die for! read more

We were very excited to hear we were getting a new lunch option in town - we've been lacking choices since Jason closed up the Osterville Village Cafe. So, we have given Pineapple Caper three chances to deliver a tasty lunch, yet each time it seems to step down a notch. When you read this on the menu, what sort of sandwich comes to mind? VEGGIE LOVER - Lettuce, tomato, sprouts, avocado, onion, red peppers, hummus Would you expect no avocado or hummus? Because both were used only as bread-wetters for what then amounted to an $8 sandwich consisting of one piece of lettuce, a sprinkling of grated carrot, a few sprouts and shards (no, they do't even bother with thin rings of red pepper, it's awkward chunks). So when I went back to have my sandwich remade they said "well, the avocado is a spread, because it's easier" which they repeated several times as I tried to counter with "that's not what the description says" "that's not avocado" "easier doesn't mean better" and "easier isn't tastier" all of which seemed to just hit the wall of "easier" without sinking in. The pleasant staff did refund my money when we came to an impasse on what makes for a good sandwich, but I'm sad to say, three strikes and you're out. read more

Burrito breakfast sandwich is the bomb! Sausage with Avocado cooked extra will not disappoint.

We ended up here by chance on the way to the beach. What a fantastic place! The service was great! The food was so fresh and what a selection! If you get the chance to try this place, definitely do, it's so worth it! read more

This quaint little cafe is serving up food with some major flavor. After a morning walk we decided to stop in to Pineapple Caper Cafe for a coffee. Upon walking in, we were hit with a wave of mouth watering aromas and we decided that we had to stay and grab a bite. The cafe inside is sweet with a handful of tables and a lunch counter/bar. We perched at the bar where we were promptly greeted. I decided to try the special sandwich of the day 'The Italian.' Folks...I've never felt compelled to write a review about an Italian sandwich before but holy smokes this one is the exception. The bread was warm and soft, the meats and cheese were fresh and flavorful, and the Italian dressing was jammed full of spices and herbs. This was the perfect stop and I highly recommend a visit next time you find yourself in the area. read more

Their service and food is very good. 100% recommend trying it. The cafe is in osterville and is very welcoming.

Since the cafeteria at my job is under renovation, this food truck has been stopping by a few times a week. Today I decided to give this food truck a shot and I am happy that I didn't pass up the opportunity. I had a buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich as well as a cup of clam chowder. The clam chowder was a decent portion size for the price and the chowder itself was great. The grilled cheese was also delicious as well as a decent sized sandwich. The staff on this food truck was also great, the women on the truck were polite and quick at slapping together orders. In the end, I loved this truck and I can't wait to try something new off of their changing menu. One more thing, my understanding is that this truck can be booked for catering and special events. read more

During these crazy times of Covid-19, our daughter and fiancé came to Cape Cod to get out of their Boston apartment. We ordered a brunch online and had an amazing experience from the Pineapple Caper! Easy to use the online menu, food was ready when they said it would be, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious!! Since we are trying to stay home, it was great to have a local place to get a wonderful meal to enjoy in our home. We thank the Pineapple Caper for being open and supporting our community!! A great experience in trying times. read more

Friendly & comfortable atmosphere - picnic tables next to the restaurant for outdoor dining in good weather. Food was a solid B+. We especially liked their bread (toast) -- from Iggy's perhaps? We've had only one breakfast there - we look forward to trying more breakfast items and lunch entrees. read more

This place is the worst. Not open for business when they claim they are.Even when you call ahead to confirm their operating hours.

At first glance the location looked bright and new. However, we waited 50 minutes for a breakfast sandwich. The service was very unorganized and hectic. It was difficult to get a menu and communicate with the servers. Very overpriced food for something you could make at home. read more

UPDATE: December 2020 We just tried pineapple caper take out dinner for the first time and we regret not doing it sooner!!! They cooked the meat PERFECTLY(and we are are typically disappointed with the meat being too over cooked or chewy with take out food). We were just saying this has to be the best food in Osterville. The atmosphere when we picked up was adorable so we will be sure to go in person soon. Great food and great service!! Not to mention the best ice coffee in Osterville! You can order online which makes it very easy during these read more

Took soooo long. I know they're trying to be old-school and homey, but the wait was ridiculous. It also took forever for us to be able to sit down. Frnakly, they just don't have enough people working there. read more

Holy Avacado! I just powered through their Garden Fresh Bagel on Toasted Sesame Seed Bagel loaded with Fresh Vegies, Awesome Avocado, and fresh homemade vegie cream cheese. I was going to save half for lunch because it was Huuuge. But it was so good, I was a lil piggie and I couldn't stop eating through it. Yum! I topped it off with Tammy's Wake-up call. The owner's special iced coffee concoction. Best breakfast ever!!! Feeling great to start my day. read more

Went to the here today for lunch. Had the best service from Melissa, the food was excellent and all the staff was so friendly! Definitely will be back soon, great atmosphere. Recommend Buffalo chicken grilled cheese. read more

Since their days solely as a food truck business, I've been enamored with their grilled cheese sandwiches. They use P'ain Davignon's sourdough bread (the best) and my favorite overall is the pulled pork with the buffalo chicken as a close second. When they opened the Cafe at the former Cheese Shop in Osterville this summer, I was really blown away by not only the grilled cheese selection (a few new extras including the Roast Beast and Caprese) but also the sandwich menu, the breakfast and smoothie selections! Super cozy atmosphere, great service, and killer food. Finally, Osterville has a breakfast place in town again (no, Dunkin Donuts does NOT count)! read more

Love this place! If your a local or on vacation - a great spot! We sat at the bar, really enjoyed chatting with the staff. Great local people. Had the breakfast burrito and my girlfriend had the pancakes. We will be back next time we are on the cape! read more

Power Salad was fantastic. Would definitely have that again...it's hard to find a really healthy big salad that also looks and tastes great.

The granola is awesome. The home fries are also great. Can't figure out the seasoning but I like it. My wife had the avacado toast which she said was yummy with a little kick. The owner came over specifically to ask how our breakfast was and chatted with is for a few minutes. I wish I could give this place 20 stars, its that good! read more

Great little breakfast and lunch cafe, especially off season. Very diverse menu. All home made items with super flavor. Owners are on the chefs and make sure their patrons are happy. The chicken ginger soup of the day was outstanding as was the Brussel sprout and kale salad with Tahini dressing. read more

Food is very good but the wait is almost not worth it. I had to wait 25 minutes for a caesar wrap and a grilled cheese. They did come out tasting very good, but it's also stuff I could easily make at home and not spend $30 on. It is very pricey, as to fancy's which is down the street and would have cost about $15. Also the lady taking our order was rude and she was yelling at the manager and giving him attitude. A very uncomfortable situation. However, after I wrote this review the owners contacted me and apologized for my concerns. I went back and changed my review since no place has ever reached out to me before and this shows that this place does care about their customers. All in all, amazing food and awesome people who care= a 5 star rating! read more
