mike & rory’s mid-cape favs
Chatham

Chatham Candy Manor - for fudge and sweets

Emack & Bolio’s Chatham Main Street - ice cream (cash only!)

Hangar B - brunch overlooking the local airport CQX, fun to watch the planes land

Chatham Cookware cafe - breakfast sandwiches (rory’s covid job!)

Snowy Owl Espresso Bar - Coffee down a cute alley on main street

Del Mar Bistro - higher end, reservations recommended

Chatham’s most notable beaches are Lighthouse and Hardings, but a dip in White Pond is Rory’s post-bike tradition

Orleans

The Knack - best burgers on the Cape

Sunbird - cafe with excellent vibes, coffee & sandwiches

Emack & Bolio’s Cranberry Hway - ice cream (cash only!)

Cottage Street Bakery - try the dirt bomb!

Hog Island Beer Co - another of Rory’s covid jobs, brewery vibes and a great patio

The Rail - relaxed brunch spot

Mac’s On the Pier - cheating because this is in Wellfleet, but it’s worth the drive for the views & huge menu

For beaches in Orleans we love Nauset & Skaket!

For a full day out drive out to Provincetown and walk the breakwater to the Wood End Lighthouse, then head to Commercial Street for food & shopping.

we also love to cycle the rail trail & recommend renting bikes in good weather!
