Cape Cod Coffee has a drink to put some extra cheer in your season. The White Christmas Marg looks the part of a holiday cocktail—off-white with a sugar rim and garnished with cranberries and a rosemary spring—but tastes like a tropical vacation. Made with Tres Agaves Tequila, Grand Marnier, lime, coconut cream, and coconut rum, this winter special will have you imagining you’re enjoying the holidays poolside. The cocktail is one of several winter specials available at the coffee company’s new location on Evergreen Circle in Mashpee. The staff calls it the roasting facility, but in reality it’s part-roastery, part-kitchen and bar, and overall a fun, modern, coffee-themed gathering space with a relaxing, welcoming vibe. “It’s like a brewery on steroids,” says Jan Aggerbeck, who has co-owned the business with his wife, Pamela, since 2015. He’s not wrong: it’s a great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat, whether you’re with friends, family, or even your dog. There are plenty of local beers on tap, but it’s not just about brews. “We wanted to create a place where there is something for everybody,” Aggerbeck says. Cue the creative cocktails, wine list, coffee and espresso drinks, and more. Unique to the destination are beers and cocktails made with Cape Cod Coffee roasts, the results of collaborations with local businesses like Cape Cod Beer and Cape & Islands Distillers (for instance, look for specialty drinks made with Cape Cod Coffee Vodka or their custom blend of Cleveland Bourbon).
The best part? The space has a fully covered and heated outdoor area, meaning you can feel comfortable dining there all winter during the pandemic. Weekly live music will continue through the off-season, making the roastery a destination for food, fun, and delicious drinks.
