With the love of chocolate and a loan, we started The Chocolate Sparrow, a simple candy shop, in 1989 in North Eastham. Gradually we learned the art of making fine chocolate and the business of selling it. In 1991 we opened a summer shop in Wellfleet. Two years later in Orleans, we opened The Hot Chocolate Sparrow, a cafe complete with coffee from around the world, desserts of every indulgence, and our own hand-dipped chocolates. Here we could offer specialty coffee drinks in a sophisticated but welcoming atmosphere. We have grown into a local institution, open early morning to late night, every day of the year except Christmas. We created a place where people can connect. Our cafe is recognized Cape-wide!
A popular local shop offering coffee, desserts, ice cream & candy from early till late.

This was a perfect place to stop for lunch when biking the full Cape Cod Rail Trail (CCRT). It’s just off the CCRT and there is an enormous covered bike rack right next to the trail as well as a smaller rack immediately in front of the cafe.
The was a bit of a line in the cafe when we arrived, but it moved quickly and lasted only about 5 minutes or so. From the ten lunch sandwich options, we ordered the #4 (turkey, roasted red peppers, and garlic herb cream cheese) and the #5 (turkey, white cheddar and pesto), both on ciabatta (the default bread). Because the pies and cakes all looked so amazing, we also ordered a slice of peanut butter chocolate pie and a slice of Oreo dream cake.
The pie and cake came out first, so we dug right into those and both tasted as amazing as they looked. The pie was sweet, but the saltiness and savoriness of the peanut butter helped balance the sweetness. The cake was decadent and also really good.
The sandwiches were ready about 10 minutes after the pie and cake came out because they’re made to order. Luckily, they were fairly small and ended up being a perfect amount of food in combination with the pie / cake.
There was an ice water station with small cups, so no need to purchase water. The drinks we saw while we were dining in were numerous; the sheer volume was astounding!
The cafe is clearly a very popular place and there are all kinds of folks dropping in. We saw everyone from entire Boy Scout troops biking the CCRT to locals catching up with friends.
There were two all-gender restrooms right next to the entrance to the cafe closest to the CCRT.

Atmosphere here is super chill and fun. Great selection of pastries and chocolates, stumbled upon it because I needed a restroom and CVS didn’t have one. Great mocha honestly. Very rich, sweet, and flavorful.

Excellent coffee shop in a great location. Wide array of drinks and food. Croissant and iced coffee were great, with a self serve ice coffee bar. Very tight and crowded however, though it does work out. Suitable for many group sizes, and fair prices. They have a candy shop attached as well, as well as plenty of areas both indoor and outdoor for seating. Very wide hours of operation.

Unbelievably delicious coffee! The Iced Caramel Mocha Turtle is to die for! BUT!!! It’s the chocolate croissant that has me hooked. I have NEVER had a better one!

My wife’s parents loved this place, so we decided to give it a try. They had a nice wheelchair ramp up to an entrance, however that is where the wheelchair friendliness ended, because you end up at the wrong side of the store to order and good luck getting access to the other side of the store. We went on Wednesday night at 8. The place was pretty busy and we thought we were in the line to order for about 5 minutes and then we figured out that they were ordering somewhere else. So we finally ordered and they got the ice cream out pretty quick. However, I got a hot fudge sundae and felt like they may have forgot the hot fudge. Or maybe they were just really running low on their hot fudge. My granddaughters got vanilla soft serve and I feel like Dairy Queen soft serve is better. The chocolates looked good but we didn’t try thy.

We were on vacation and one evening we were looking for some place different to try for dessert. This place came up, and in so glad we tried it!
I loved it here! From the bakery counter to the chocolate shop, there’s something yummy for everyone. Ice cream, cookies, cakes, fudge, and chocolate galore.
I had the chocolate lava cake, which they heated up, and it was maybe the best I’ve had in a very long time! It was delicious!
The hot chocolates are also very tasty!
I’ll be back on my next trip!

A must visit when on the Cape! My spouse and I have been coming here over the past 10 years, and we always make a point of visiting Hot Chocolate Sparrow for the coconut mocha sparrow in particular. It’s such a delicious drink! And I’ve never tasted another mocha anywhere else quite like it. The desserts are very decadent in flavour, and the cakes and chocolate in particular will send you into a heavenly sugar rush.
This time, we tried the berryblast muffin for a change. However, we weren’t impressed as with our usual selections. It was a bit dry and bland, so I definitely recommend sticking to the many other assortments of treats on display here. The options, after all, are endless so much that it’ll be hard to choose what to order. This is perhaps the best reason to justify putting on those calories and spending the oh so worth it dough to keep coming back. 😉

Turkey cheese sandwich for 10 bucks could be made at home in 10 seconds. Literal rip off and I should have known better. Hot chocolate tasted like heated up low fat nesquik at a place called sparrow hot chocolate. All for 16 bucks. Never will step foot on this property again because of this disappointment.

Love this place. The hot chocolate is perfect, not too thin and not too thick. The hot chocolate is the right amount of sweetness and you can tell it is made with milk not water. Absolute perfection! The candy side of the store has a decent selection with specialty chocolates, chocolate is different shapes (cameras, animals, cellphone, etc.), fudge, and gummies.
