Every town has a classic family-owned coffee shop perched at the heart of the town. For Nantucket, Downyflake is this country cafe. The café has existed for nearly ninety years. It is located in mid-island Nantucket for convenient access by islanders and visitors.
But Downyflake is not the cliché coffee shop offering just coffee, bread, doughnuts, and pastries. The eatery is known for its innovative menus that constitute its breakfast and lunch offerings. Moreover, the café provides additional services such as take-outs, delivery, and custom catering.
Coffee, fresh juices, gravy sauce, doughnuts, muffins, biscuits, blueberry pancakes, and omelets constitute the breakfast menu and are served throughout the day.
The lunch menu includes fish and chips, soups, California Reuben sandwiches, burgers, and tuna melt cheese. The entrée menu features special chef dishes, making every lunch day different from the last. What’s more, the Chef’s daily specials are posted on Downyflake’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
In keeping with its innovation culture, Downyflake has expanded its offerings to include vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. Adding vegetarian and healthy diets as an alternative to its meat, dairy, and sweet offerings makes the eatery even more inclusive for its diverse customers.
Downyflake’s fall specials help battle the melancholy that comes with the fall season and contribute to the happiness of Thanksgiving. The fall menu includes roasted turkey, meatloaf, and pineapple honey-baked ham.
The café partners with ACK Delivery to fulfill customer order requests. Suppose you see a Chef special on the cafe’s socials that triggers your fancy, for example. In that case, you can dial in and have your order delivered fast and hot in the comfort of your home.
Downyflake’s custom catering services is another unique service offered by the café. Its Customer support and team of chefs will liaise with you to select, design and fulfill custom menus for your event.
