Food scene
Located right on the water (be careful, if you sit outside you might get splashed by a wave), the Barnacle is the oldest family-owned restaurant in Marblehead. Our favorite is to sit at the bar for some steamers and a bloody Mary. If fried seafood is your thing, this is the best in town.

Nestled right in Old Town, the Muffin Shop is a long-time family favorite. Fun fact: it was also a favorite of Adam Sandler and family when they were filming Grown Ups in Marblehead. We would see them there often and I loved how comfy they felt in our town! The muffins, breakfast & lunch options here are awesome....but the LOBSTER ROLLS are our favorite!! Also see "DO: Little Harbor Lobster Company" - for the rival "best lobster roll in town"

One of our go-to coffee spots downtown, Java Sun also has delicious small bites for a quick and casual breakfast. We especially love the goat cheese frittata and blueberry muffins. They also carry the infamous Bagel World Bagels from Salem so save yourself a trip and stop by!
