What’s better than a great cup of coffee? How about a great cup of coffee at a LOCAL coffee shop? We’ve listed the 6 best Cape Cod coffee shops + some kid friendly tips for visiting each one!
Hot Chocolate Sparrow
5 Old Colony Way, Orleans MA
Open year-round for specialty drinks, delectable desserts, and candy! Hot Chocolate Sparrow is known for their frozen hot chocolate. Try it and you’ll know why!

Your littles will LOVE the candy wall! Prep them ahead of time if you plan to (or plan not to!) purchase candy. It’s a fun experience but can be overwhelming if you haven’t planned ahead.

Family-owned + operated! “We encourage our visitors to enjoy a tasty beverage in a place as warm and welcoming as your eccentric aunt’s living room, featuring a variety of local artists’ work.

Ask the baristas at Snowy Owl about the bean sourcing and roasting process!
