Reviews for Castaways Vintage Cafe in Gloucester, MA
$1.00 for a pinch of shredded coconut, $1.00 for a squirt of honey. Why is every topping $1.00? Why is an acai bowl nearly... $20.00. This place is daylight robbery. Glad the tourism in my city is blindly keeping this business open. Maybe stop producingall of the ridiculous merch that clearly isn?t selling and focus on the cafe aspect. Read more
Pretty great spot - the only catch is the prices. An Açaí bowl is $10.75 and it?s just frozen blended berries, thawed berries,... granola, and half a banana. All the food and coffee seems to taste pretty great though. Some times you have to wait a while forsomeone to come out of the kitchen to serve you, but I can understand them being busy with pickup orders. Also just a heads up:the lids on their cold beverages always pop off - I learned the hard way (photo included). Overall a great spot with a greatatmosphere! Don?t forget to support Lone Gull across the street :). (I would recommend ignoring the review about hate speech -I?m pretty sure it?s made up. Nothing like that would ever happen there.) Read more
Cute cafe down stairs off the main street. I got a decaf almond latte (no decaf drip) and enjoyed it on the patio out back which... was soooo nice! A really great space tucked away from the noise. Only wish they had reusable cups as I hated having one destinedfor the landfill. But love that they don?t charge extra for plant milk (aka vegan tax as I?ve heard it called.) Next time I?lltry an açaí bowl (which is gluten free, yay!) Cute rack of clothes for sale, labeled sustainable and vintage (secondhand?) Thanks for a lovely spot to catch up with an old friend!

I initially had a great experience here this morning. I ordered coffee, food and enjoyed the patio while catching up on some... work. As more employees arrived one very loudly began voicing her distain towards the black community, BLM, etc. and it made me,a black patron, very uncomfortable. It?s already difficult visiting some places along the coast as a person of color withoutbeing glared at. Just when I thought I found a safe space this morning, her lack of decorum proved me wrong. I regret givingmoney to this company. Read more
Seriously one of my favorites! Atmosphere is so chill and happy. This is the banana toast my daughters favorite!!! I can't say... enough good things about the food the place AND the staff!!! ???? Read more
Great little Cafe with fun outdoor area. Good ordering and pickup system. Cold Brew coffee was pretty tasty. Blueberry muffin... was delicious. Banana toast was awesome (could have used more banana at 7$). 'Cado toast was good and Vanilla Chai Smoothie wasdelicious according to my partner. Read more
Tasty açaí bowls and beautifully refurbished clothes. Castaways has great coffee and some lovely original as well as... reinvented merchandise. Once you order your castaway fix, step in back and check out their tops, bottoms, stickers, and othergreat stuff all made even better by the friendly staff! Read more
Place is cute and very well decorated, but the coffee is terrible. Cappuccino tasted like a watered down hot milk, no coffee... flavor at all. My friends mocha and iced chai were also extremely milky. We ended up tossing them out and going to anothercoffee shop because they weren?t drinkable Read more
