START YOUR DAY AT:

My perfect morning begins at The Chocolate Rose with their warm, flaky chocolate croissant—it feels like a cozy hug from home and tastes absolutely heavenly.

SPEND YOUR MORNING:

My perfect morning starts with a drive to Mashpee Town Beach to watch the waves roll in, followed by coffee and shopping at the amazing small businesses in Mashpee Commons. I love taking a quiet moment by the fountain near the bookstore to breathe in the fresh air and feel grateful for the place I call home.

GRAB LUNCH AT:

I love grabbing lunch at Mashpee Fresh Market—their sandwiches, hot food, and salad bar are always fresh and delicious. It’s a family-run spot where the warm, welcoming vibes make you feel right at home every time.

SPEND YOUR AFTERNOON:

A perfect afternoon for me is getting creative while painting pottery at Color Me Mine in Mashpee Commons, then heading over for some fun and friendly competition bowling at the Lanes.

INDULGE IN A TREAT AT:

Mashpee is packed with AMAZING sweet treat spots—I honestly can’t pick a favorite! From Duke’s Donuts and Hatchville Bakery to Polar Cave, Whistle Stop, Cupcake Charlie’s, and so many more, it’s a dessert lover’s dream.

END YOUR DAY AT:

I love ending my perfect day at UVA Wine Bar in Mashpee Commons—between the self-serve wine, delicious flatbreads, and beautiful outdoor seating, it’s the ultimate spot to unwind and soak in the vibes
