Only one more week to enjoy our gorgeous Hydrangea Afternoon Tea July special!

It may be almost as beautiful as the hydrangeas… but we can promise it tastes even better.

And lucky for us, the hydrangeas are still blooming beautifully at Dunbar, so there’s still time to soak up one of the prettiest moments of summer on Cape Cod.

Scones, sweets, tea, and blue hydrangeas everywhere you look — does summer get any prettier?

There might not be a more perfect day for a Lobster Salad Croissant on the patio.

Fresh lobster salad piled onto a buttery, flaky croissant, a crisp garden salad on the side, and maybe a glass of wine… all enjoyed surrounded by the gardens in the Cape Cod sunshine.

This is what summer at Dunbar is supposed to taste like.

The patio is calling.
Open Thursday–Monday | 11am–4pm
Patio seating is first come, first served.

Is anyone else craving a warm scone on a rainy day?

These are the kinds of mornings that make us wish the doors to the Dunbar House were open every single day. There’s just something about the sound of rain, a steaming pot of tea, and a freshly baked scone with homemade jam and fresh whipped cream that makes everything feel a little cozier.

For now, we’ll just be over here dreaming about the smell of scones in the oven.

We’ll be ready to welcome you Thursday through Monday with warm tea, fresh baking, and a cozy table waiting.

Hydrangea season deserves dessert. 💜🫐

Our newest teacup cake is a little taste of a Cape Cod summer—soft vanilla cake topped with silky blueberry buttercream, finished with a hand-piped hydrangea bloom.

Sweet, floral, and almost too pretty to eat… almost.

Join us while the hydrangeas are in full bloom and treat yourself to one of the prettiest bites of the season.
