★★★★★ 5.0 Celestial Baddie · Dec 2025

I love the The Cove! I live about an hr away and come to visit my family out here in Gloucester a few times a year. I always try and stop in during my short visits. Don't always make it, but I always think about it! Love their dirty (that's when you add a shot of espresso) or regular iced chai. Not overly sweet, and very warming spice forward. You can tell they use a high-quality tea, and not just a syrup based liquid or just cover it in sugar to compensate. Fresh made baked goods every day. That being said, I would not recommend planning to stay to eat with a large group. There is very limited seating. A counter along one of the front windows, and maybe the other or just a small table. I don't recall the other side. I think with 1 other person, maybe 2, you would be okay, but I wouldn't p

Lovely, quiet, and clean. This Cafe was a quick stop in while on the coast, and a real treat. The town is lovely too boot. The sandwich was made fresh, and was delicious. I regret not getting a sweater, they looked so cozy. I'm actually about to see if it's available on a website. Also their baked goods looks phenomenal. Will be back!

Great little lunch spot, either for a quiet lunch solo or to grab a bunch of sandwiches before heading out on the boat. Really an asset to the community, there are so few places on this side of the cape that Cove Cafe fills a desperate need and does so in a high quality way. I have never been disappointed with my order and the staff is lovely.

I ordered here for lunch on the recommendation of a few of our clients who work nearby. Online ordering was quick, easy and I liked that it was customizable. The storefront itself is quaint and super cute inside. I was warmly greeted and our food was ready when I arrived. The turkey/apple/cheddar sandwich still visits me in my dreams. 10/10 would recommend!
