Title
Even Keel Cafe - Nantucket
Description
Our favorite way to break away from the rush of the summer season is to head directly into town and go straight to the back patio of Even Keel Cafe. Plenty of sunshine, with shady spots and umbrellas for those who’ve caught enough rays, this bi-level garden patio is bigger than some downtown eateries. Despite its location in the very heart of downtown Nantucket, it’s a quiet refuge where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and a muffin, a full meal, or an evening cocktail.
If company rather than quiet is what you seek, then the Even Keel Cafe dining room and bar (yes, bar!) is just the spot. In the center of Main Street, this island restaurant is open every day from 7 a.m. and is bustling with activity. Larger than it looks from the sidewalk, Even Keel has cafe tables if you’re stopping in for a leisurely meal and a long counter if you only have time for a quick bite. They have an extensive “grab-n-go” section featuring salads, sandwiches, and baked goods, and tall urns filled with freshly brewed coffee. Even Keel counter staff is kept busy from the moment they open preparing lattés, cappuccino, espresso, and a variety of other pick-me-ups.
From their simple and delicious Egg Sandwich and homemade Granola to their hearty Huevos Rancheros and tempting “Hurricane” French Toast with Hurricane Rum, Portuguese sweet bread, and fresh bananas, an Even Keel breakfast has long been an island favorite.
