Cape Cod restaurant news: Lobster rolls, coffee at Days on the Pier; eating in Wellfleet
In this week's Cape Cod food news, Provincetown has a new pop-up market selling Days Market and Deli's well-known lobster rolls, Wellfleet gets ready for its annual Restaurant Week and Dana's Kitchen of 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' fame opens for the 2025 season in Falmouth. Also, the Cahoon Museum of Art features a class on edible flowers.
Last week's restaurant news included The Piccadilly in South Yarmouth opening for dinner for the first time in decades; Cymbals Bakery at Faraway@Nantucket hotel making homemade doughnuts; and The Pretentious Pickle setting up shop in Mashpee Commons.
You don't have to arrive at or leave Provincetown hungry with the new pop-up market Days on the Pier open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at 16 MacMillan Wharf.
It is a second location for Days Market & Deli in North Truro. The Provincetown pop-up that opened May 16 offers summer sundries like sunscreen and towels, as well as food items, including Three Fins Coffee and Days Market's well-known lobster rolls.
'There are five different lobster rolls I created in 2008 for The Red Shack,' said Days' owner Mylan Janoplis, noting that Days on the Pier will only have the four cold lobster rolls since the pop-up has no kitchen in the space formerly occupied by the Whydah Pirate Museum and later the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy.
Janoplis (just one 'o' after his grandfather Americanized the name) is a Provincetown native whose family has been involved with restaurants for three generations, including starting and owning The Mayflower and The Portuguese Bakery in Provincetown. He loves California but the East Coast where he was born and raised keeps calling him back ― most recently in 2019 when he started Days Market & Deli in North Truro.
'The building, owned by Barry and Margo Clifford, is still for sale, so Days on the Pier will just be a popup for this year," he said. "But if the building doesn't sell, maybe there could be a second year.'
In addition to the original lobster roll, Days Market & Deli sells The Californian with avocado and bacon, The Mexican with salsa and The Morrocan with a light curry mayo and pineapple. They sell for $27.95 in Truro but may be a little more in Provincetown, Janoplis said, since he is thinking of adding slaw or another side to make them more complete grab-and-go meals.
Days on the Pier is at 16 MacMillan Wharf, Provincetown, 508-413-9031, or find Days Market & Deli on Facebook and Instagram.
'Learn about edible flowers, how to prepare stuffed zucchini blossoms, pansy pancakes, and other ways you can use flowers to bring extra flavor and visual flair to your dishes,' says a Facebook listing by the Cahoon Museum of American Art in Barnstable.
The owner of Edible Creations by Gerry in Westport will teach that class from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, May 31, at the museum, 4676 Falmouth Road. The cost is included with museum admission but registration is required at https://tinyurl.com/29w23xwr/.
Dana and Art Tillman run a truly mom-and-pop operation with house-made food that was even served for a while on her grandmother's leftover china. Patrons who plan to eat outside on the porch are welcome to bring their dog. But, like home, you should call first (508-540-7900) to be sure they are open. Regular hours are 11 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and until 1:45 p.m. Sundays, but sometimes this homegrown operation will have to close for a big catering operation.
Specialties include, when crab is available, a Maryland crab cake wrap for $18.95, haddock chowder, two styles of Reuben and Middle Eastern fare including falafel. The Tillmans met in culinary school where she was the baker. If you want breakfast pastries, call a day ahead to order them.

Nearly two dozen restaurants and the same number of shops and galleries are taking part in the 16th annual Wellfleet Restaurant Week from May 28 to June 3.
The Wellfleet Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event, has a list of participating businesses.

Shops and galleries include Shinglefish, where whimsical sea creatures are painted on old shingles; and AIM Thrift Store, carrying a bit of everything since 1966 (you could find grandma's jeans from the '70s!).

The steaming liquid in the cup is thin and brown, with a familiar if not exceptional taste. 'Like the coffee you'd get in a deli,' as one of my coworkers put it. Only the label of this medium roast blend by Atomo Coffee betrays that, in addition to coffee beans, the brew also contains things like date seeds and carob.

Donnie D's continuing operation at Daleville location without bagels
BOTETOURT COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) – A fire on Friday temporarily closed the Donnie D's Bagels & Deli in Roanoke. It happened the day after owner Donnie DeGeorgis' birthday. The fire damaged a number of appliances, including a 200-pound mixer that mixes all the bagel dough. However, DeGeorgis lives in Daleville, and business continues where it started at its primary location, just without bagels. 'A lot of people are wondering on Facebook, 'Why can't you just make bagels here?'' DeGeorgis said. 'The mixer that we bought seven years ago from a company out of the Midwest brought it here for us, but we actually had to load it up the day that production stopped here in Daleville to take it to Roanoke, and without that mixer, you can't just mix up bagel dough.' Donnie D's might not have bagels, but they're putting all their menu items on croissants, various rolls and a new item: biscuits. Roanoke Fire and EMS battling active fire in at Donnie D's in southwest Roanoke It's something DeGeorgis did not picture selling when he first opened, but he said it was a natural transition, given the store's focus on breakfast meals. Currently, he said the customers agree. 'I think the feedback that we've gotten from our customers is they really like the biscuits,' DeGeorgis said. 'They're huge, they're delicious, biscuits and gravy and so many different options that they like to do.' The Daleville store is open daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. As for the Roanoke store, DeGeorgis said he will start moving things out Thursday, and getting items replaced so it can reopen as soon as possible. Donnie D's has set up a GoFundMe after a lot of requests from customers. People have currently raised more than $3,500 that will all go to the employees. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
