Hot Chocolate Sparrow

Cape Cod


One of the Cape's finest coffee bars brews heady espresso and cappuccino. Or, for a cool treat on a hot day, try the 'frozen hot chocolate.' Panini sandwiches, homemade pastries and fresh-from-the-oven cinnamon buns make perfect accompaniments, or a cabinet full of fudge and chocolates might tempt you.
