The people are super sweet, and the food is amazing for the price! I got the Turkey Reuben and it was incredible. It’s right next to the commuter rail, for those visiting from Boston! We loved it so much, we went back for mocktails which were 10/10! It seemed less touristy than many places, and I’m so glad we chose it!

A great spot if you’re a vegetarian or just like really good food with vegetables on it. We had bowls with a wide varietybof ingredients that all tasted fresh. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the dining room itself is a work of art. They had live music at lunch time during the week which I had never seen before and really enjoyed. All in all a great spot.

My husband and I had a great lunch at the Whale’s Jaw Cafe. We started with an excellent homemade chicken vegetable soup. The owners told us that they cook fresh chicken stock daily for their chicken salad and use the base for soup. I had a delicious vegetarian sandwich, the Marjorie Flack (mozzarella, tomato, spinach and pesto on a pressed ciabatta roll) while my husband had the Cubano, fresh cooked pork shoulder, ham, swiss pressed and toasted. Great sandwich! And they serve fresh ground coffee and loose leaf teas. Excellent lunch!

A surprisingly welcoming bistro in an otherwise tourista town. Great music, healthy food, comfortable vibes. And they have liquor and plenty of free parking.

What a great spot in beautiful Rockport. We attended an open mic here and the atmosphere was very comfy and friendly. We had coffee and almond cake, but they do offer a wide selection of snack and sandwiches. We plan to come back one evening for music and adult beverages.
