Martha's Vineyard Gourmet Cafe & Bakery

This simple joint serves inexpensive coffee, famous apple fritters and cannoli, but the time to swing by is from 7pm to 1am (when the shop itself is shut), when you can go around the back, knock on the door and buy hot, fresh doughnuts straight from the baker. This, friends, is MV's 'Back Door Donuts' – a much-loved tradition here.
