One of the best parts of living here on the SouthCoast is taking advantage of so many of the nearby tourist destinations.

For example, my favorite time of year to visit Martha's Vineyard is in February, specifically, the weekend after Valentine's Day. As someone who has a hefty dose of people during the course of my regular workday, I relish the thought of how desolate islands such as Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket can get during the off-season. It actually enhances the experience for me. A handful of restaurants usually remain open, just enough to get you through a long weekend.

The same goes for the Cape. While I'd never want to battle the ridiculous Cape traffic during the prime-time summer months, I love taking a leisurely Sunday drive in the dead of winter. Sometimes, during a January thaw, you can hit the jackpot and find a day nice enough for a brisk walk on the beach.

When we are bopping around on the Cape, it's always good to know about the local hotspots for coffee, breakfast and lunch. A super useful tool to finding these cafes is Yelp. When you use Yelp ratings, you're able to eat like a local and find some of the hidden gems that might not otherwise be known by out-of-towners.

Using the real data from Yelp, we put together a list of the top places on the Cape and Islands to grab a hot cup of coffee, a nice breakfast or a sandwich for lunch.

Interestingly enough, when we pored over the numbers, we discovered that some of our local spots here on the SouthCoast were ranked so high that they made the cut for Cape Cod. In fact, locations from Marion, and multiple locations in Wareham and Falmouth all cracked the top 10 most popular cafes on the Cape.

Check out the full list here.
