This place is a hidden gem. Was in town for a week and this quickly became my favorite breakfast spot. Food is simple and delicious, and we enjoyed the relaxed environment of the outdoor patio. Also a plus that it’s pet friendly :)

Okay a Hidden Gem in Nantucket one of the best avocado toast I've ever had. And I make avocado toast every morning for myself. Great amazing atmosphere right near the pier spoke personally to the owner's amazing people. They are definitely on the right track! Stop in and say hello to David and his unbelievable team

Visiting Nantucket this weekend and we saw GypSea as a breakfast option. It’s set right on a children’s beach with beautiful harbor views. For breakfast I got the western omelette, with potato medley home fries and the best toast, and my friend got the egg white pesto sandwich on a brioche bun. Both were 10/10. The woman at the register was a peach and Dave was friendly while checking on all of us. We got to try their cranberry orange muffin which was so tasty! Flavorful, moist, with real cranberries and orange chunks - a perfect muffin. I got the unsweetened ice tea and a splash of homemade lemonade. We left satisfied and full bellies for a full day of adventuring on Nantucket! We will be back!

This place is a gem! Close to kids beach and park. A big white canopy gives complete shade over tables. The food was great! Everyone was very pleasant. Food came out at correct temperatures (hot food hot, cold food cold) and fast. We enjoyed our meals with a nice breeze, relaxing music and water views. Oh and key lime pie...yum! (A bite missing because I was so excited)

I love coming to Gypsea Cafe! It is one of my favorite spots to sit and have breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is so relaxing, as it is right on the beach. Super family friendly! I often bring the kids I babysit here for lunch - they love the chicken tenders and smoothie bowls! The service is always outstanding. Each and every worker has always greeted me with a smile and has created genuine conversation. Their food is fresh, delicious, and comes out quickly! I highly recommend checking this place out. They’re the BEST. :)

David was a great host and the food was amazing! Dog friendly outdoor seating, they gave my dog a pup cup! Great donuts and coffee as well. We got the pesto goat cheese sandwich and the french toast! A large covered outdoor patio.

Nice spot by the beach and playground at children’s beach. Super nice staff. Food is solid, we had summer fruit bowl. Nicely done with fresh fruit, yogurt and a variety of toppings. Aldo had a south of the border scramble . Nothing different here except the home fries that incorporated a nice variety of potatoes savory and sweet. I’ll be back next time I visit the island.

Been coming to Nantucket for 45 years and this is hands down best breakfast ever on island. The location on Children’s Beach is great with little ones. Fantastic food, generous portions. Servers and management are solicitous and personable. Altogether delightful experience!
