Hungry and in a hurry? Desperate for a shot of [fresh] caffeine? Need a little nautical inspiration? In search of a cutesy gift for your weekend lodging host? All of these – and more – can be found at the Lighthouse Keeper’s Pantry.

Yes, the Lighthouse Keeper’s Pantry in Yarmouthport has it all. The menu may be a tad limited, but the taste more than makes up for it. Scones, muffins, croissants in the morning; Caesar and Cape Codder salads in the afternoon.
Fun fact: the breakfast sandwiches are made on a stone griddle [and often sell out].
Pro tip: for lunch, opt for a salad; those crotons [at least in the Caesar salad] are nothing short of heavenly.
The drip coffee ranges from light, dark and decaf, with the usually expresso, latte, mochas in cold or hot versions.
As for the vibe; it is inviting. Sit and sip in a private booth or stretch out in the gallery of tall ships on the high seas artwork.
Finally, as you might find in a rural General Store, there are plenty of jarred goodies, pre-packaged desserts, dish towels and other small trinkets that line the front facing windows looking out to Route 6A.
Word of caution, parking in the back lot is tight to say the least. Opt for parking along 6A in the parking spaces before the café.
