Tame the Dog Days of Summer at Handlebar

Ah, the dog days of summer. They're the hottest, most sweltering days of the season. But on Nantucket? No worries. We've got a long list of cool solutions in our summer playbook. It begins with every beach within reach of your Nantucket vacation rental. And it ends with that all-important summer essential—iced coffee at the Handlebar Cafe.

"Coffee, community space and killer wifi" is the motto of this hotspot launched by the owners of Nantucket Bike Tours. Located in Town, Handlebar is a favorite among those who want to relax with a good book or chat with friends and make new acquaintances while enjoying a killer iced coffee.

Local Flair Meets Friendliness

Handlebar offers a welcoming atmosphere to locals and visitors alike. Owners Jason and Courtney Bridges, who founded Nantucket Bike Tours, live in Nantucket all year. The Bridges wanted to provide residents and tourists with a spot to enjoy freshly brewed, high-quality coffee while spending time with friends or unwinding with a book or tablet. Don't have a book? You can borrow one from their community collection.

Coffee, Tea, and Treats

The Handlebar Cafe offers more than just coffee. Guests can also enjoy tasty cookies, muffins, and other baked goods prepared by Wicked Island Bakery. The cafe has a wide range of exotic teas available as well.

They Even Have a Bark Bar

Handlebar Cafe is also known for welcoming canine customers and providing them with plenty of fresh water, especially in the heat. While you sip your iced coffee on a hot summer day, your dog can relax in the shade and stay well-hydrated. Check out their Bar Bar on Facebook.
