About

On Nantucket, Handlebar Cafe is a coffee shop or café. It sits at 15 Washington St, Nantucket, MA 02554, United States, in the heart of Nantucket Town.

The café serves coffee and light café fare through the day, and its town-centre setting puts it within walking distance of the shops and harbour. Handlebar Cafe opens Friday through Sunday from 07:00 to 16:00. A 4.7 out of 5 rating from 244 customer reviews places it among the better-reviewed cafés on the island. That review count reflects a steady stream of local and visiting custom rather than a passing trade.

A website at http://www.handlebar-nantucket.com/ carries the café's details. The three-day opening window makes weekend mornings the main time to visit. Opening at 07:00 suits an early start before the ferries and town traffic build.

Nantucket is one of the glacial islands off New England, and its whaling past still shapes the town's architecture. English is the main language spoken across the island. The nearby settlements of Siasconset, Madaket, Surfside, Wauwinet, Cisco, Polpis and Quidnet are all reachable by road from Nantucket Town. Visitors based in Nantucket Town can walk to the café without a car, which keeps a weekend morning simple.
