Behind The Bookstore Coffee Bar

Our go-to place for lattes while vacationing in Edgartown! The staff and atmosphere are awesome. I recommend the vegan coffee cake, raspberry cruffin, or any croissant. If you get there at 7 am, all the pastries are hot out of the oven. Dinner is good too, but their specialty is great coffee.

Fantastic food and cocktails. This restaurant is always a must anytime we visit the Vineyard. The Hemingway Bar is great on its own if you can’t get reservations and just want a great cocktail.

Beautiful experience and we enjoyed all of our food. Expectations weren’t met on everything so giving 4/5. Service: Friendly, informed waitress. Attentive runners and bussers. Cocktails: very interesting, some were better than others. Summer Burrata Salad: burrata and toast were delicious but this salad is 90% tomatoes, too many for us. Could have used more oil and maybe a little acid. A Lobster Tale (fried lobster): seasoning in the batter takes away from the lobster a little. I was surprised to see that the lemons were also battered. Missed the capers that were supposed to come with. The tarter sauce was amazing. Would have this again. Seared white fish: expected the dish to be more composed instead of just four elements presented separately on the plate. All the elements were tasty and fresh. Couscous was very flavorful but needed a bit of sauce - the pesto was on the plate but too stiff, would have been better if it were thinner and pourable as a sauce. The corn was bright and juicy but there were huge slices of practically raw garlic in it. Very generous portion of fish! Corn had tomatoes in it. Seared Scallop Linguine: I anticipated a sauce with more body since the menu described it as lobster bisque sauce. It was thin and served on a plate of sorts so a little hard to eat. Very good flavor and the three scallops were seared to perfection and wonderful. The pasta itself was over cooked. This dish also had tomatoes. Overall, too many tomatoes, haha! Would likely return. Lovely atmosphere and staff.

Delightfully well run. Do not leave the pastry counter until you have your pastries. Otherwise someone will steal your muffin and you will be admonished.

Cute little spot at Martha's. Food was good but a little bit over priced. You also have to wait in line to order and hope a table opens up in the meantime because you seat yourself. Lavender late was really good!
