The Downyflake

Downyflake Sit Down Breakfast Is Ready To Serve! We are looking for a few good women and men to be our face to the community. Especially looking for one special person to be our heart and soul and Front of House Manager. Also looking for quirky, fun-loving, and kind-hearted servers to become the FoH family of this island institution. Make Nantucket history and bring smiles to the faces of your Nantucket neighbors!!! Low pay, cr@p hours, and jerk boss! Kidding… Generous pay, breakfast hours, and, well the jury is still out on the boss. But at least he’s honest. 😂 Housing available for the right people. 💗 🍩 💗

We’ve been feeling like Lucille Ball in the chocolate factory with the donut machine. Nice to see her relaxing with a donut.

Thank you to our patient Downyflake family!!! We are trying our hardest to keep up with demand. First and foremost, we are focused on serving the best donuts. We are working on increasing volume. Have you tried our Scotch Irish Cake?!?

Join us for our grand re-opening tomorrow, Saturday August 1st! Donuts from 7am-12pm. Nanpuppets at 11:30am. Live music at 1pm. Magic Mark’s amazing balloon artistry. And the very first day of play in our yard. We got your co****le. We got your badminton. We got Subsoccer. French foosball with a cork ball and everything. Jumbo connect four. A hidden gnome forest. And TWO RIDE ON COIN-OPERATED WHALES. Old Thom out back and Moby up front. Also, imbibe the creations of the infinitely talented Conrad Meurice at Flower Bar, overlooking the yard. There will also be bubble machines.

Apparently contortionist donut dunking was a thing. Maybe it should be again? We’ll provide the doughnuts. Nantucket contortionists, are you listening?
