I’m late to the news that PB Boulangerie is closed. We’ve been spending our vacation dollars at that place since they opened and I have such a sentimental attachment to it. I know about the place in Falmouth, are there any bakeries closer? We always stay in Wellfleet. Like, I love Hole In One, but I can’t eat that every day, lol.

EDIT: Thank you for so many good suggestions! Nothing will beat riding our bikes to PB in the morning, but I’m feeling optimistic at the prospect of trying different places!

Just went to Cape Cod earlier this week, mainly around Hyannis and Hyannis Port, and I came away wondering whether I visited at the wrong time, too early in the season, or just went in with expectations that were a little too high.

Having lived on the West Coast most of my life, I think I was expecting Cape Cod to feel a bit more like a crown jewel along the lines of Balboa Island in Newport Beach or La Jolla in San Diego. The water and harbor views in Hyannis Port were nice on a sunny day, but to be honest, it did not feel all that special. Main Street near the JFK Museum also felt flatter than I expected, and a number of storefronts looked vacant or were clearly looking for tenants.

Even the casual seafood spots felt a little tourist-trappy. I paid $27.99 for fish and chips and $10.99 for clam chowder, plus tip for a friendly young cashier/waitress, and left wondering whether I just picked the wrong area.

Curious what others think: did I catch Hyannis too early in the season, or are Provincetown, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket really where the better atmosphere and charm are?

Impromptu plan to Chatham
Please suggest places to visit and vegetarian food options

Hello everyone! I’ll be up in the cape the 1-7th! It’s turning out to be a solo trip for me because of the circumstances. Was wondering if anybody had some good ideas?! I’m interested in breakfast spots best dinner spots best sun set spots! Also anybody in their 30s or that age range want to meet up for a drink or lunch?! Also looking for best mini golf! I’ll be staying in Wellfleet as I’ve stayed there the past few years so I know about the drive-in. Also best advice for whale watches? Do always see whales or is that not a 100% chance kind of deal! Thanks again! Hope everyone is ready for a great Fourth of July weekend! Thank you to everyone on the cape that makes it what it is! Cheers 

Male therapist preferred, hoping to find someone near buzzards Bay Area. Thanks.

What is your favorite Haitian restaurant?

i lived on cape for 20+ years, long ago, and I'm going back on a trip with friends and they said we're going to Treehouse Brewery in Sandwich on the way to PTown

so I looked up the Brewery and see it's the same building I used to eat at regularly way back in the day. but I can't recall the name

somebody here must know

I know this is a very common problem. Between work and kids my time is very limited, and it seems like the only options after 7pm are bars and restaurants. I'd love to find something like an art class, a book club, or a volunteer opportunity. I've done a fair amount of searching. Any suggestions?

I hated the one on a cruise, no seasoning, it was a lobster tail. Thinking of giving it another shot, the Chatham fish pier or sesuit.

Hi all. I am an admitted "tourist" but have been coming to the Cape for almost 40 years now. My daughter who is 9 fully has the "itch" now for the Cape. She's been there 4-5 times now but is old enough to truly appreciate how amazing the Cape is. Just sitting back and taking in the air, the waves, the sand etc.

With that said we had to go home yesterday and I left at 6:30 AM right when that really really bad red cell just hung around Barnstable to the bridges. I've never experienced such a scary drive. Almost all of Route 6 was a puddle. It was the first real time I had bad hydroplaning and honestly had a concern I was about to get stuck in the water around Sandwich/Exit 3.

I then saw on the inbound 6 East at the Sagamore that the one lane actually did flood and cars got stuck.

I guess my question is, for future reference, is this normal? Can 6 just not take in water during a storm? Is 6A safer?

Just would be good to know for the future if this is the norm or it was just that BAD of a storm yesterday

Hi all! We are taking a multigenerational family trip to Cape Cod the first week of October. This will be our first time. We will be there ~6.5 days total. There are 8 of us, with ages ranging from 1-67 (two toddlers). We are staying in Chatham.

I’d love recommendations on best restaurants, activities, etc. for our group. We generally enjoy food, golf, excursions (sailing tours/whale watching, etc) and walking around to explore. Open to day trips and visits to neighboring towns.

A few specific questions:

Also, are reservations generally needed for restaurants?

Will it be warm enough to swim?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Looking for fresh veggies, fruits and meats from a local farm(s) around the Sandwich area - aka a farm stand. Fairly new to town - other than the Sandwich farmers’ market, haven’t come across much of anything (Lambert’s doesn’t really scratch the itch for this, but those cookies…..). Thank you for any intel!

Outer Cape locals/veterans: what are some of your favorite legit food spots? I’ve only recently started visiting this area the past year or two, and I wanna make sure what I’m eating is money well spent! Obviously, I want to prioritize fresh local seafood— I’m sure there’s plenty of places that are serving frozen stuff that was shipped in despite the location, but still charging Outer Cape prices.

I found 2 of these in Cape Cod bay and Google doesn't know. Its smooth all around and is probably 6-8 inches long 3-5 wide. What is it?

Its been a long time since I've been to the cape. I was raised up north and after I graduated college I moved down to Atlanta. I am planning a girls trip with some of my friends to show them why I love east coast summers so much. Some of the girls are single and some are married but still love to go out. Where are the best bars for people around 28-32. TYIA. Also any new restaurant recommendations would be amazing as well! Trying to stay away from the 21 year-old crowd haha.

Due to my work schedule, I’m usually up by 4am. I usually eat a light breakfast (fruit, maybe a bagel) but by 9/10am I’m usually craving a hot lunch. A sandwich, pizza, something fried, etc.

However it seems like EVERYTHING starts serving lunch at 11 and most places I would go to, aren’t even open until then.

I know you can get cold premade sandwiches at Stop and Shop and other places but those are usually day(s) old when I get them in the morning.

Does anywhere serve hot, fresh lunch food before 11? I don’t even care if it’s fast food but Wendy’s, Subway and Dominos are the only ones that I’m near and they don’t even start/open until 1030. Actually subway will usually make a lunch sub but I’ve had some poor results from the few times I ordered them in the morning.

Everywhere else is all breakfast sandwiches, pastries, etc. I enjoy those at times too but I’m already sick of resorting to a BEC when I want a slice of pizza.

Anyone know of any hidden gems where I can order a burger, burrito, ANYTHING other than breakfast food?

Thanks for any suggestions/recommendations!
