The Hub of Nantucket

Known For
Newspapers, coffee, and candy in Nantucket's most genuinely local room
The Hub of Nantucket functions as the island's informal living room — a local favorite cozy nook where magazines, newspapers, coffee, and candy coexist without any particular aesthetic agenda. Stop here to take the temperature of the island on any given day.
🕐Best time to visit: Sunday mornings when everyone's grabbing the Times
Our Take
The Hub has been a Nantucket institution for newspapers, coffee, and a quick bite, and its cozy, local-gathering-spot energy is the draw more than any single menu item. Worth stopping in if you're in the neighborhood and want to feel like a regular for a morning.
