Best breakfast/brunch spot (also open for lunch, dinner, and late night bar in summer). The Belgian waffles with berries and Wellfleetian omelette are our faves.

Terrific ice cream and froyo. Huge array of flavors including many of their own unique blends. Sugar- and dairy-free options available. Cash only (ATM across the street).
Note: the sign outside technically says A Nice Cream Stop, but ask anyone local and it's Emack & Bolio's.

Expensive, but helpful if you're in a rush and/or just need a couple items. Freshly baked muffins are delicious. For major grocery runs, head to the Stop & Shop in Orleans or Provincetown; they're much cheaper and have better produce.
